First use
∙ Before making coffee for the fi rst time,
let the appliance go through two or
three fi ltration cycles using the indicated
maximum amount of cold water, but
without using ground coffee. This should
also be done if the appliance has not
been used for an extended period of time,
and after descaling.
Making coffee
∙ Open the swing-out fi lter holder and take
off the fi lter holder lid.
∙ Insert a size-4 paper fi lter into the fi lter
insert, fi rst folding down the perforated
sides of the fi lter.
∙ We recommend the use of fi ne-ground
coffee:
∙ for normal-size cups use around 6 g (=
2 teaspoons) of ground coffee;
∙ for small cups use around 4g (= 1½
12
teaspoons.
∙ Depending on your personal taste, the
actual quantity used may vary.
∙ Replace the fi lter holder lid and close the
swing-out fi lter.
∙ Open the lid of the fresh-water container
and fi ll it with the desired quantity of cold

help you to fi nd the correct amount of
fresh water:
∙ left scale for normal-size cups (around
125 ml).
∙ right scale for small cups.
∙ Caution: To prevent boiling water from
being forced out, be careful not to exceed
the maximum water level of 8 medium-
sized cups.

only operate when the lid is closed
∙ Fit the aroma-protection lid on the carafe,
and then place the carafe on the base
plate.

maximum, it will take about 5 minutes to
bring the water to the boil.
∙ Once the optimum brewing temperature
has been reached, the valve opens and
the brewing cycle begins.
∙ The Vapotronic system will switch off the
heating process automatically.
∙ The coffee starts fl owing through the fi lter
into the heat-preserving carafe.
∙ The indicator light goes out once the
