■ Do not brew less than the minimum
amount of three cups since the coffee
will not have the desired strength and
temperature (1 cup = approx. 125 ml).
■ Never remove the carafe while the
machine is brewing coffee since this may
cause the filter holder to overflow.
■ Make sure that carafe's lid is closed
when you place the carafe on the coffee
machine.
■ Do not use other carafes since the special
drip protector will block the coffee from
flowing into the receptacle.
■ Some water accumulation on the filter
holder is normal; it does not indicate that
the coffee machine is defective.
