Timer Function; Coffee-Making Tips - Siemens TC863 Serie Instrucciones De Uso

Timer function

This coffee machine is equipped with a
timer.
It lets you set the time at which the machine
will automatically start the brewing process.
The timer works only if the machine is
turned on or in power­save mode.
■ The clock must be set to the correct
current time.
■ Press and hold down the button prog
while programming the timer (Fig. a).
■ Use button h to set the hour and button
min to set the minute at which you want
the brewing to start (Figs. b and c).
■ Release button prog to save the start
time. The display shows a little clock
to indicate that the timer function is
activated.
■ Fill the machine with water and coffee as
usual and place the carafe under the filter
housing.
■ The brewing process will start auto­
matically at the set time; the little clock
disappears.
Note: To check the programmed time, press
and hold down the button prog.
Turning the timer function on/off
Press button prog. If the little clock lights
up, the timer function is on. If the little
V
clock turns off, the timer function is off.
Note: If you turn off the coffee machine
with O ON/OFF button or the power supply
is interrupted (plug not plugged in, power
failure), the clock and timer settings will be
stored for approximately four days. If the
power interruption lasts longer, you must
reset the clock.
Tip: If you do not intend to use the
appliance for a longer period of time, switch
it off using O ON/OFF button.
Low water indicator J
This coffee machine senses if the water
volume in the water tank is low (less than
approx. 4 cups).
If the water level is low, J lights up and
the machine automatically increases the
brewing time. This ensures that the coffee
retains its ideal flavour.
Thermos carafe
TC865.. only
Important: Never use the carafe for
keeping dairy products or baby food warm,
because bacteria may form. Do not heat
the carafe in the microwave or in a regular
V
oven. Never use the carafe to store or
transport carbonated beverages.
Carefully rinse the carafe after each use.
To keep the lid from permanently vacuum­
sealing itself shut, it was designed to not
close hermetically. Since the thermos carafe
may leak, you should always store and
V
transport it in an upright position.
The thermos carafe holds approximately
8 cups.
The lid of the thermos carafe can be
opened with the release switch.
■ Open lid (Fig. d)
■ Close lid (Fig. e)
■ Remove lid (Fig. f)

Coffee-making tips

Store ground coffee in a cool place; you can
also freeze it.
Once a package of coffee has been
opened, close it tightly to maintain its
aroma.
How the coffee beans are roasted affects
their taste and aroma.
Darker roast = more flavour
Lighter roast = more acidity
