(B) Making Coffee
Before using the coffee maker for the first time,
after a long period of not using it, run the coffee
maker through a complete brew cycle without
ground coffee. Use a full carafe (12 cups) 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 (5).
•
When filling the water reservoir (3) with fresh cold
water, refer to the carafe height markings or 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
(330 ml) inside the reservoir.
•
Insert a paper filter (cone type # 4) in the filter
basket (4).
•
Alternatively you can use the gold tone permanent
filter which is available separately.
•
Add the desired amount of ground coffee,
corresponding to the number of cups being
brewed. We recommend using 1 coffee
measuring 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 keep warm plate (6).
•
Plug the cord into an electrical outlet.
•
Press the START button (a) to start brewing
immediately or press TIMER (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 solid green indicating the coffee
maker is in «keep warm» mode.
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 keep warm plate
(maximum 20 seconds) to prevent the filter basket
from overflowing.
For Best Results
•
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.
•
Once the coffee has finished brewing, stir it
before serving to blend the flavors. The coffee at
the bottom of the carafe will be somewhat
stronger than the coffee at the top.
Note:
The maximum amount of ground coffee the
coffee maker can take is 11 coffee measuring
scoops. Exceeding this amount may cause overflow.
Descaling
For the best performance from your Braun coffee
maker, descale the unit when the LED CALC (c)
lights up solid green. This indicates it is time to
descale your coffee maker.
To set water hardness see «Setting the Water
Hardness Level».
The removal of built-up calcium deposits from the
water reservoir will help extend the life of your
coffee maker and keep your coffee tasting great.
Frequency will depend upon the hardness of your
tap water and how often you use the coffee maker.
You can use a commercially available decalcifying
agent not affecting aluminum.
We recommend using the Braun Descaling Solution
(can be purchased in stores, through the Braun
website, or by calling Customer Service).
Note:
The entire cleaning cycle including rinsing
can take up to 45 minutes to complete.
•
Follow the package instructions of the
decalcifying agent.
•
Place the empty carafe in its position on the keep
warm plate (6).
•
Press the CALC button (c) to select the descaling
program.
•
The green LED above the button will start flashing.
•
To start the descaling program press START (a).
The green LED is still flashing.
•
When the descaling program has been
completed, the green LED (c) will turn off.
•
Discard the cleaning solution and rinse the carafe
thoroughly with clean water.
•
Fill the water reservoir with a full carafe (12 cups)
of clean, fresh water. Run the coffee maker
through two complete brew cycles to flush the
unit after descaling. Use a full carafe of fresh cold
water each time.
•
Repeat the procedure as many times as
necessary in order to reduce the brewing time per
cup to a normal level.
(C) Cleaning and Maintenance
•
Always turn coffee maker off and remove the plug
from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
•
Lift up the reservoir cover. Remove the paper filter
and discard the ground coffee.
•
Remove the carafe from the keep warm plate.
•
The filter basket, carafe and lid are dishwasher-
safe.
•
Do not use any scouring agents or harsh
cleansers on any part of the coffee maker.
•
Never immerse the unit in water or other liquids.
•
To clean base, simply wipe with a clean, damp
cloth and dry before storing.
•
Do not put any water in the unit once the filter
basket has been removed.
