Before using for the fi rst time
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.
General information
∙ A measuring scale on the water container
and on the glass carafe facilitates fi lling
the container with the correct amount
of clean water. The left scale is used for
regular-sized cups of approx.125 ml,
while the right scale is used for smaller
cups. Make sure that the indicated
maximum amount of water is not
exceeded.
∙ If several consecutive brewing cycles
are required, switch off the coffee maker
after each cycle and let the appliance cool
down for approx. 5 minutes.
∙ Important note: When fi lling the
appliance with fresh water shortly after
a brewing cycle is completed, there is
a danger of scalding from hot water or
steam escaping through the water outlet.
Making coffee
∙ Filling with water:
Open the water container lid, fi ll the
container with the desired quantity of water
and replace the lid.
∙ Inserting the paper fi lter:
Open the swing-out fi lter sideways and insert
a size-4 paper fi lter into the fi lter holder, fi rst
folding down the perforated sides of the fi lter.
∙ Filling with ground coffee:
For each regular-sized cup (125ml), a
measure of about 6 g (= 1½ - 2 teaspoons)
of medium or fi nely ground coffee will
be required. Close the swing-out fi lter
afterwards.
∙ Preparing the glass carafe:
Fit the aroma protection lid onto the carafe,
and then place the carafe into the appliance.
If correctly inserted, the lid will disable the
drip-stop mechanism in the fi lter holder
during the brewing cycle.
∙ Starting the brewing cycle:
Insert the plug into a suitable wall socket
and use the On/Off switch to turn the coffee
maker on. The fi ltration cycle starts and the
water passes through the fi lter.
∙ Removing the glass carafe:
Wait until all the water has passed through
the fi lter before the carafe is removed from
the appliance.
∙ Switching off the coffee maker:
The coffee may be kept warm inside the
carafe by leaving it standing on the hot-plate.
Switch the coffee maker off once the last cup
has been poured.
Unless the appliance is switched off
manually, the hot-plate remains hot for
around 35 minutes after the brewing
cycle, when the appliance will switch itself
off automatically. Always switch off the
appliance after use and remove the plug
from the wall socket.
Cleaning and care
∙ Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is
disconnected from the power supply and
has cooled down completely.
∙ To avoid the risk of electric shock do not
immerse the coffee maker in water. The
