3. Close the tank cover.
4. The water level display in the water tank indicates the number of cups.
5. Turn to open the funnel cover, put ground coffee as you need into the permanent filter (take one measure
spoon of medium fine ground coffee per cup).
6. Turn back the funnel cover.
7. Ensure that the carafe is place properly in its position.
8. Switch on the appliance and the pilot lamp illuminates, to indicate the unit is on.
9. After the brewing process, turn the coffee maker off and take away the carafe.
10. The thermal jug can keep warm for 12 hours no less than 40ºC even though it is removed from the plate.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO MAKE A GOOD CUP OF COFFEE
To give your coffee a better flavour and aroma, we recommend that you use recently ground coffee. The
coffee should be medium ground and should not be too fine. Keep your coffee in a dry place. Once the coffee
packet has been opened, keep it well closed in the refrigerator so as to maintain its aroma. Although the
thermal jug will keep the coffee hot, it is best to drink your coffee as soon as it is made.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
- Disconnect the appliance.
- Never immerse the appliance in water.
- Clean the appliance with a damp cloth only.
- The carafe can be cleaned with warm water, some washing-up liquid and a soft brush. Do not clean the
carafe in a dishwasher.
- Remove the filter and clean it with warm water, liquid detergent and soft brush.
DECALCIFYING
To make sure that your coffee maker goes on producing perfect coffee you will need, from time to time, to
decalcify it. Frequency will depend on how hard the water is in your area and how often you use the coffee
maker. If you use your coffee maker once or twice a day, the following guidelines for decalcifying should be
used:
- Soft water, every 6 months.
- Medium water, every 2-3 months.
- Hard water, every 6-8 weeks.
If the time it takes to brew a cup of coffee suddenly is increased it is recommend that the coffee maker is
decalcified. The harder the water in your area, the more often the coffee maker needs to be decalcified. The
hardness of the water can be advised at your local waterworks.
For decaling follow these steps:
1. Fill the water tank of the coffee maker with a composite mixture of 1 cup white vinegar with 2 cups hot
water. Place a filter to catch limescale or mineral loose during the cleaning process to prevent clogging
the mechanism of drip coffee.
2. Turn on the coffee maker and allow the mixture of vinegar and water "prepare". Collect the water in the
jar.
3. Filter a pitcher of clean water through the coffee maker. Repeat two or three times to rinse the remaining
vinegar. Use cold and tap water. You will notice that the machine is clean when it no longer smells like
vinegar during the preparation of coffee.
4. Clean the removable plastic parts of the appliance with soft detergent and water. Rinse them well and
return to put in the coffee maker.
