1. Equipment  
shows the programmed time and will  
switch back to the actual time.  
To change the programmed time,  
push the program button and repeat  
as described above.  
The Capresso MG600 PLUS comes  
complete with: • Glass Carafe with  
Lid • GoldTone Filter (inserted in  
removable Filter Holder) • Measuring  
Scoop • Charcoal Filter with Charcoal  
Filter Holder • Instruction Book  
Attention: Flashing Display!  
If you unplug the coffee maker for  
more than 10 seconds or if you have  
a power failure, you will lose the  
current time and program settings.  
The flashing display indicates that you  
must reset the current and programmed  
time.  
2. Preparing the Coffee Maker  
2a. Before First Use  
After unpacking your coffee maker  
clean all the loose parts with warm  
water and make yourself familiar with  
the different functions. After reading  
these instructions, clean the internal  
parts of the machine by making two  
carafes using only water, without any  
ground coffee inside the filter.  
3. The Charcoal Filter Indicator  
To start the electronic charcoal  
indicator, push the blue filter button  
(Fig. 2, Q). The green indicator light  
for the charcoal filter will turn on.  
If you use spring water, bottled water  
or distilled water and make coffee  
right away, it is not necessary to use  
the charcoal filter. Push the blue Filter  
Button (Fig. 2, Q) and the green filter  
indicator light will turn off.  
2b. The Display / Setting the Clock  
and Timer  
When you plug in the coffee maker  
the display will illuminate for about 30  
seconds and will flash “12:00”.  
All indicator lights will be off.  
Attention: Spring water and distilled  
water might attract impurities when  
sitting in the water container  
overnight. The charcoal filter will  
remove most of these impurities since  
the water will be filtered just before  
entering the heating element.  
2c. To Set the Current Time (Fig. 2)  
Push and hold the hour button. The  
hours will advance. The little dot on  
the left upper side (indicating AM)  
changes to a left lower dot (indicating  
PM). When the correct hour shows up  
release the button and push and hold  
the minute button to set the minutes.  
Attention: You must change the clock  
when the time changes (Standard  
Time, Daylight Savings Time).  
3a. Using the Charcoal Water Filter  
Most tap water is treated with chlorine.  
The charcoal filter removes up to 82%  
of the chlorine and other impurities  
found in tap water, improving the  
taste of water substantially.  
2d. To Set an Auto-On Time:  
The charcoal cartridge sits in the  
charcoal holder (see Fig. 4). The  
charcoal holder is already inserted  
into the water container.  
If you want the coffee maker to start  
brewing at a preset time automatically,  
first push the program button (Fig. 2, P).  
The display shows "12:00".  
To activate the charcoal cartridge  
pour four cups of water into the water  
container and let it sit for approx. 3  
minutes. Then turn the machine on  
and let the water brew into the carafe  
(see chapter 5e). Discard the water.  
Immediately start pushing the hour  
and minute buttons as described  
above until the desired time shows  
up. Within a few seconds the display  
will revert to the actual time.  
To check the programmed time just  
push the program button. The display

As long as the green Charcoal Filter  
Light is on, the machine monitors  
time and the number of brewings.  
The green charcoal filter light will  
start blinking either after 6 weeks or  
after the Coffee Brewing Button has  
been turned on 60 times (Fig. 2, N)  
whichever comes first, reminding you  
to replace the cartridge:  
If you make coffee once a day, the  
filter light will start flashing after 6  
weeks. If you make coffee twice a  
day, the light will flash after 30 days.  
This will help you to plan the right  
amount of cartridges.  
Attention: When you unplug the  
machine for more than 10 seconds or  
if you have a power failure, the  
electronic indicator loses its memory.  
Then it is best to replace the filter 6  
weeks after first use.  
Caution: Once the cartridge is activated  
you should never use it for longer  
than six weeks. Harmful bacteria  
build-up may occur. Unused  
4. The Proper Sequence for Making  
Coffee  
Coffee makers produce very hot water.  
If you follow the sequence as described  
below you will avoid possible accidents  
which might cause severe injuries and  
burns.  
1. Remove carafe from machine.  
2. Open water container lid (Fig. 1, A)  
and pour water into the water  
container. Caution: Make sure  
the water level does not exceed  
the MAX setting (Fig. 6). If you fill  
too much water into the tank the  
carafe may overflow with hot coffee.  
3. Make sure the filter holder (Fig. 1,C)  
sits firmly in the Filter Holder  
Housing (Fig. 1,F). Push the tab of  
the filter holder down (Fig. 8) to  
make sure the filter holder sits  
firmly in the Filter Holder Housing.  
If the filter holder is not snapped  
into the housing, the drip stop  
in the filter holder might not open  
during brewing and hot water and  
grinds could overflow and leak  
from the machine.  
4. Insert filter paper (chapter 5b)  
or a GoldTone Filter (chapter 5a).  
5. Add the correct amount of ground  
coffee (chapter 5c).  
6. Close the water container lid.  
7. Make sure the carafe is empty  
and the lid sits properly on the  
glass carafe.  
8. Turn the machine on (Fig. 2, N).  
9. Never open the water container lid  
as long as coffee is brewing. Hot  
water could spill out causing burns.  
Wait until the brewing noise stops.  
10. Immediately after brewing is finished  
there could still be hot water in  
the filter holder passing through  
the ground coffee. This can take  
1 to 3 minutes depending on how  
much coffee you used and how  
fine the coffee was ground.  
cartridges can be stored indefinitely.  
Replacement cartridges are available  
through your local Capresso dealer or  
3b. Replacing the Cartridge /  
Resetting the Filter Indicator  
Remove the cartridge from the water  
container (Fig. 3), twist and open the  
holder and discard the old cartridge.  
Replace with new cartridge (Fig. 4)  
and close the filter holder securely.  
Insert the assembly back into the  
water tank (Fig. 3) and make sure it is  
inserted properly otherwise the water  
container lid will not close completely.  
Activate the charcoal filter (chapter 3a).  
While the green light is still blinking,  
push and hold the Charcoal Filter  
Button for a few seconds until the  
light stops blinking and is illuminated  
again. Now the indicator starts counting  
again.

5. Making Coffee  
Please follow the steps described in  
chapter 4.  
Filling the Water Tank  
See chapter 4.2.  
When all the water is passed through,  
the coffee maker will keep the coffee  
hot for two hours. Then it will shut off.  
If you need to keep the coffee hot  
longer, just push the On/Off button  
again.  
5a. Using the GoldTone Filter  
A size 4 GoldTone filter comes with  
the machine. It sits in the Filter Holder.  
Attention: Coffee flows slower through  
a GoldTone Filter than through paper  
filters. Please see the chart in chapter  
5c for maximum coffee amounts.  
5f. Pouring Coffee While Brewing  
You can pull the carafe from the plat-  
form during the brewing process for  
approx. 20 seconds to pour a cup in  
between.  
5g. Brewing Small Amounts of Coffee  
5b. Using Filter Paper  
When brewing small amounts of coffee  
Use size 4 paper only. Always fold the (3 to 5 cups) push the 3-5 cup button  
bottom and side crimps over for a  
proper fit (see Fig. 5). Do not use a  
filter paper inside a GoldTone Filter!  
first. The green indicator light will go  
on. Then push the On/Off button. The  
red indicator light will go on. The  
brewing process will be slowed down  
to allow the coffee to reach its full  
aroma.  
If you pushed the 3-5 cup button by  
mistake, just push it again to turn off  
this function.  
5c. How Much Coffee?  
A coffee scoop comes with your coffee  
maker. We recommend using one  
level scoop of coffee per cup. If you  
like your coffee extremely strong  
never use more coffee than the

amounts indicated in the chart shown. coffee the temperature in the carafe  
will be approx. 3 to 5 degrees lower

5h. Making Multiple Carafes of Coffee  
If you want to make another carafe of  
coffee immediately after the first pot,  
make sure the machine is off and  
allow to cool down for three minutes  
before refilling the water tank.

Using more coffee can result in an  
overflow of ground coffee, above the  
filter, blocking the drip stop function  
and causing a mess on your counter.  
Important: Make sure the carafe is  
empty before brewing.  
6. Automatic Brewing at a  
Pre-Programmed Time  
Set the programmed time at which  
you wish to brew coffee as described  
in chapter 2d.  
Make sure that the programmed  
time is correct (AM or PM).  
Hint: If you want your coffee ready by  
7:15 AM, set the programmed time to  
7:05, i.e. 10 minutes earlier. This way  
you get the freshest and hottest  
coffee possible.  
5d. Turning the Coffee Maker On  
Push the On/Off button (Fig. 2, N).  
The red light will illuminate, indicating  
that the brewing process is starting.  
Caution: Never open the water  
container lid during brewing.  
5e. Serving Coffee  
Brewing time for a full pot of coffee  
takes just about 7 minutes.

Fill the water tank and filter holder  
and place the empty carafe with the  
closed lid on the platform (chapter 4).  
Push the "auto" button (Fig. 2, L).  
The green indicator light above this  
button will go on.  
At the pre-programmed time, the red  
on button will go on and the green  
auto light will go off, indicating that  
brewing has started.  
8a. How to Decalcify with White  
Vinegar  
• Remove GoldTone filter and  
Charcoal filter.  
• Fill the water container with 20 to  
24 oz. of white household vinegar.  
• Place the empty carafe with the lid  
closed underneath the filter holder.  
Turn the machine on for 2 minutes.  
Important: If you pushed the auto  
button by mistake just push it again  
to turn it off.  
Turn machine off and let sit for 15  
minutes.  
Turn machine on again and let the  
remaining vinegar pass through.  
• When the red light turns off, remove  
the carafe, empty and rinse a few  
times with fresh cold water.  
7. Cleaning the Coffee Maker  
• Make sure coffee maker is turned  
off (Red light is off). Always unplug  
the appliance from the outlet before  
cleaning.  
• Rinse the filter holder thoroughly  
with fresh water.  
• Never use scouring agents.  
• Never immerse the appliance in  
water or any other liquid and never  
clean under running water. To clean  
the appliance, wipe off with a soft,  
damp cloth.  
• Fill 20 to 24 oz. of fresh cold water  
into the water tank and brew  
through machine to remove any  
vinegar odors.  
Dishwasher safe (upper rack) are:  
Filter Holder, GoldTone Filter, Glass  
Carafe.  
8b. Using other Decalcifying Agents  
Only use decalcifying agents suitable  
for drip coffee makers and follow the  
instructions which come with the agent.  
Attention: Decalcifying agents are  
acids and therefore must be handled  
properly. Please check the information  
on the packaging of the decalcifying  
agents before using.  
• Clean the GoldTone Filter after  
every use. Otherwise coffee oils will  
form and clog up the small filter  
openings. Old, hardened coffee oils  
can spoil the taste of your coffee.  
• Clean the lid of the carafe under  
running water.  
9. Troubleshooting  
What to do if...  
• Drip-stop in filter holder: make sure  
that the drip-stop is free of any  
coffee particles, otherwise it might  
not close properly when removing  
the carafe.  
...Coffee drips from the filter, when  
the carafe is removed.  
• Ground coffee sits in the drip stop  
and does not allow the drip stop to  
close properly. Immediately replace  
the carafe and wait until all the coffee  
has been filtered in the carafe. Now  
remove carafe and remove the filter  
holder. Clean filter holder under  
running water. Push the drip stop  
8. Decalcifying  
Decalcify at least every 6 months or  
when brewing ten cups takes more  
than 9 minutes.  
Attention: Before decalcifying,  
remove the GoldTone filter and  
Charcoal filter from the machine.

several times to remove coffee  
particles. Over the sink fill some water  
into the filter holder and check if the  
drip stop closes properly.  
• Any service or alteration performed  
by an unauthorized person,  
company, or association.  
• Carafes (Glass or Thermal)  
• Charcoal Filters  
...Ground coffee is flowing over the  
GoldTone Filter.
