oPERAtIon - Making coffee
1. Place the appliance on a flat and steddy surface. Connect the appliance to the wall socket. Make sure
the On/Off switch is set to ‘O’ (pilot light is extinguished).
2. Open the filter cover. Pour sufficient water into the reservoir (not less than 2 cups and not more than 15
cups, as shown on the water-level indicator).
3. This coffee maker is supplied with a permanent filter, no more paper filters needed. But if you prefer, you
can also fit a paper filter (1 x 4) in the filter holder. Fill the filter with the required amount of ground coffee
(the customary quantity is 1 level scoop for each cup).
4. Close the filter cover.
5. Place the glass pot on the hotplate.
6. Switch on the appliance (On/off switch in the ‘1’ position: the pilot light illuminates). The coffee will now
be prepared.
7. The pause-and-serve function enables you to pour a cup of coffee before the coffee maker has finished.
Replace the carafe quickly, to prevent the filter from overflowing.
• The hot plate keeps the coffee warm for another 40 minutes before it switches off automatically. The
indicator light goes off.
• If you want to make coffee again, please reset the appliance first by manually switching to 0 and then
to 1. The indicator light goes on. But let the appliance cool down for approx. 10 minutes first.
• In case you are finished making coffee, please turn off the appliance by manually switching to 0. The
indicator light goes off.

1. Switch off the appliance (On/off switch in the ‘O’ position: the pilot light

2. Remove the plug from the wall socket, and if necessary allow the appliance to cool.
3. Dispose of the paper filter, where relevant. Remove the permanent filter from the casing, and clean it
under running water. Unlock the filter holder by pulling up the handle. Remove the filter holder from the
casing, and clean it under running water also. Place the filter holder back into the casing and push the
handle down to lock the filter holder. When refitting the filter holder make sure that the non-drip nozzle
projects through the opening in the filter casing.
4. Clean the glass pot in hot washing-up water, or put it in a dishwasher.

to clean the appliance.
ClEAnInG And MAIntEnAnCE - descaling
Limescale can reduce the efficiency of your coffee maker. Limescale is common in areas with hard water.
We advise the use of a suitable descaling agent to remove any scale. Always follow the instructions for the
descaling agent. The amount of scale will be reduced when you use a water softener.
