Brewing
1. Open the lid and fill the water tank with the desired amount of water.
2. Swing the filter basket holder out and insert a 1x4 filter into the filter basket.
3. Fill the filter with the desired amount of coffee grounds and swing the filter holder
back into position so that it locks into place.
4. Close the carafe lid and slot the carafe securely onto the hotplate. Make sure
the carafe lid is slotted in place to prevent the filter holder’s drip-stop mechanism
from operating during brewing.
5. Plug the coffee maker’s plug into a wall socket and press the power button (6) to
turn the coffee maker on. The power button should shine red when pressed and
connected to the mains.
6. Wait until all the water has run through the filter before trying to remove the carafe
from the hotplate.
7. The coffee maker switches off automatically 40 minutes after it was switched on. It
automatically enters keep-warm mode once brewing is complete.
8. The coffee maker can be switched off before the 40 minutes has elapsed by
pressing the power button.
9. Always turn the coffee maker off after use and unplug it from the wall socket.
Care and maintenance
Cleaning
• Always unplug the lead from the power point and let the coffee maker cool down
properly before cleaning it.
• Clean the coffee maker’s exterior using a soft, moist cloth. Use only mild cleaning
agents, never solvents or corrosive chemicals.
• Hand wash the glass carafe with a little washing up liquid and hand dry it with
a kitchen towel.
Descaling
• For optimal performance, your coffee maker should be descaled regularly.
• If a substantial amount of scale is allowed to build up removal will be extremely
difficult even when using a descaling agent. Scale can also cause leaks in
the brewing mechanism. We recommend that the coffee maker be descaled after
every thirty to forty uses. For descaling you can use a mixture of white vinegar
and water:
1. Mix 2–3 tablespoons of white vinegar (12%) with an amount of cold water equal to
the coffee maker’s maximum capacity.
2. Pour this solution into the tank. Insert a filter into the filter basket without coffee.
3. Turn on the coffee maker and allow it to run through a complete filtering cycle.
Repeat if necessary. Conduct this descaling process in a well ventilated area and
avoid breathing in the resulting fumes.
4. To clean the coffee maker after descaling you should run the machine through
2–3 filtration cycles using clean water filled to full capacity.
