Congratulations ...
... on the purchase of your new coffee
machine. You have purchased a mod-
ern, reliable appliance with which you
will certainly frequently enjoy prepar-
ing fresh, aromatic coffee.
As for all appliances, there are a num-
ber of basic points on this coffee
machine that need to be noted and
observed. Therefore, please read the
operating instructions carefully, and
retain them. Above all, please take note
of the safety instructions.

Safety instructions
• The appliance operating voltage and
the mains voltage must be the same!
(See the rating plate on the underside
of the coffee machine).
• Never let the mains lead touch the
hotplate when it is hot!
• Never pull the plug from the socket by
means of the mains lead!
• Do not use the appliance if:
– the mains lead is damaged,
– the housing shows visible signs of
damage.
• The hotplate, coffee jar and water
pipes become hot during operation due
to the nature of their function. Keep
children away!
• Do not fill the appliance with water
when hot! Switch off the coffee
machine and leave to cool for approx.
5 minutes!
• Follow the instructions on descaling!
• Prior to performing maintenance or
cleaning, ensure that the appliance is
switched off and unplugged from the
mains!
• Do not submerge the base unit in
water!
• If the appliance needs to be repaired,
including the replacement of the mains
cable, it must be sent to the dealer
(special tools are required) where the
coffee machine was purchased or to an
AEG Customer Service Centre (for list-
ing see last page).
Repairs to electrical appliances may
only be performed by qualified service
engineers.
Improper repairs can give rise to signif-
icant hazards for the user.
If the appliance is used for purposes
other than those intended or used
incorrectly, no liability can be accepted
for any damage that may be caused.
;
This appliance complies with the fol-
lowing EC directives:
• 73/23/EWG dated 19.02.1973 "Low
Voltage Directive", including Directive
Amendment 93/68/EWG
• 89/336/EWG dated 03.05.1989 "EMC
Directive", including Directive Amend-
ment 92/31/EWG
Cable Compartment (Figure 2)
Your coffee machine has a cable com-
partment. If the mains cable is too
long, you can store cable that is not
required in the base of the housing.
Prior to initial start-up
Depending on the model, your coffee
machine is fitted with a fresh water fil-
ter. The first filter element is in a bag
inside the swivel filter (Figure 1/H).
Substances that affect the taste of the
coffee, for example chlorine, are
removed to large degree with the aid
of the fresh water filter. The aroma of
your coffee can thus unfold to the full.
(For information on the usage and
replacement of the fresh water filter,
see the "Using and Replacing the Fresh
Water Filter" section.)

Before brewing coffee for the first
time, you should perform one or two
brews with water only, however with
the full quantity of water:
1. to clean the coffee machine;
2. because a new fresh water filter disco-
lours the water when water first flows
through it. This does not spoil the taste
of coffee brewed subsequently.
