• The green LED above the button will illuminate.
• If the BOLD button is not pressed, regular coffee
strength is automatically selected.
Making Coffee (B)
Before using the coffee maker for the first time,
after a long period of not using it, or after installing a
new charcoal water filter, run the coffee maker
through a complete brew cycle without ground
coffee. Use a full carafe of fresh cold water. This will
remove any dust from the manufacturing process or
residues that have remained in the unit.
• Open the reservoir cover (6).
• When filling the water reservoir (3) with fresh cold
water, refer the water level indicator (inside the
water reservoir) and fill to the desired number of
cups.
• To prepare the exact amount of coffee for the
Braun Thermal Mug (available separately as
accessory), fill to the corresponding water mark
(11 oz.) inside the reservoir.
• Insert the gold tone permanent filter (5) or a
paper filter (cone type # 4) in the filter basket (4).
• Add the desired amount of ground coffee,
corresponding to the number of cups being
brewed. We recommend using 1 tablespoon or 1
coffee scoop of ground coffee per cup, but use
more or less to suit your taste.
• Close the water reservoir and place the carafe in
its position on the carafe stand (9).
• Plug the cord into an electrical outlet and press
the On/Off button (1).
• Press the BREW button (a) to start brewing
immediately or press AUTO ON (b) to commence
brewing at the pre-set time.
• During brewing, the indicator light will flash
continuously. Once the brewing cycle is complete,
the light will turn off.
NOTE: The anti-drip system halts the flow of coffee
from the filter basket when the carafe is removed, so
a cup can be poured before brewing is finished.
The carafe should be returned to the carafe stand
(maximum 20 seconds) to prevent the filter basket
from overflowing.

• When using paper filters, be sure that it is
completely open and fully inserted in the basket.
It may help to fold and flatten the seams of the
paper filter beforehand.
• Store ground coffee in a cool, dry and dark place
in an airtight container.
• For the best performance from your Braun coffee
maker, descale the unit regularly.

Note: The maximum amount of ground coffee the
coffee maker can take is 10 coffee measuring
scoops or tablespoons.
Descaling
For the best performance from your Braun coffee
maker, descale the unit when the LED CLEAN (c)
lights up solid green. This indicates it is time to
descale your coffee maker.
Frequency will depend upon the hardness of your
tap water and how often you use the coffee maker.
To set water hardness, see «Setting the Water
Hardness Level».
You can use a commercially available descaling
agent that is safe to use on aluminum.
We recommend using the Braun Descaling Solution
(can be purchased in stores, through the Braun
website, or by calling Customer Service).
NOTE: For your convenience, the cleaning cycle is
automatic. The entire cleaning cycle including
rinsing can take up to 45 minutes to complete.
• Remove the charcoal water filter holder (8)
including the charcoal water filter (7) and the gold
tone permanent filter (5).
• Follow package instructions on the descaling
agent.
• Place the empty carafe in its position on the
carafe stand (9).
• Press the CLEAN button (c). The green LED above
the button will start flashing.
• Press BREW (a) to start the descaling program,
while the green LED is still flashing. Once the
descaling process has started, it is not possible to
stop the program until finished.
• When the descaling program has been
completed, the green LED will turn off.
• Discard the cleaning solution and rinse the carafe
thoroughly with clean water.
• Fill the water reservoir with clean, fresh water (not
exceeding 8 cups). Run the coffee maker through
two complete brew cycles to flush the unit after
descaling.
Repeat the procedure as many times as necessary
in order to reduce the brewing time per cup to a
normal level.
Cleaning and Maintenance (C)
• Always turn the coffee maker off and remove the
plug from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
• Let the appliance cool down.
