spoon of ground coffee (around 7 grams) for
each cup (for example, 12 spoons to make 12
cups). The quantity of ground coffee used may,
however, be varied according to personal taste.
Use good quality, medium ground coffee,
packaged for drip coffee makers.
• Close the filter holder and place the carafe on
the warming plate with the lid on.
• Choose the desired flavor as indicated in the
paragraph "How to Choose the flavor".
• Press the "ON/OFF" button (Fig. 10). The ON
pilot light above the button indicates that the
coffee maker is in operation.
To activate the AUTO function, press the
ON/OFF button twice (on select models only).
• In some models, the water delivery time can be
optimized according to the number of cups being
prepared, To set the number of cups press button (4)
twice or (on select models only) three time. A point
on the display will indicate the selection made.
• The coffee will start to come out after a few
seconds.
It is completely normal for the
appliance to release a little steam while the
coffee is percolating.
• If the “ON/OFF” button is left in the ON
position after percolation, the warming plate
will keep the coffee at the ideal temperature.
Note: with models that include a rotating base, the
coffee maker can be turned to the right or the left
for easier access to the water tank. (Fig.14).
SETTING THE ON AND OFF TIMES (BUTTON 7)
Check that the current time is set correctly.
To set the time to start preparing the coffee:
• Press button (7): the display will show the time
12:00 flashing;
• Press the “HOUR” and “MIN” buttons repea-
tedly until reaching the desired start time;
• Press button (7) again.
Now that the ON time has been set, the display
will show the OFF time (that is, 2 hours after the set
ON time).
To change this setting, press the “HOUR” button to
increase it (+) or the “MIN” button to decrease it (-).
The time can be increased by up to 12 hours, with
30 minute steps.
Press button (7) within 8 seconds to confirm the set-
ting made. If button (7) is not pressed in time, the
display will show the current time.
ACTIVATE THE TIMER FUNCTION
After having:
-
Set the ON and OFF times as shown in the pre-
vious paragraph;
-
Selected the desired number of cups by pres-
sing button (4) (on select models only);
-
prepared the machine to make the coffee,
press the “ON/OFF” button (2) or (some
models only) the “AUTO” button (8) (on select
models only).
For models that feature the “AUTO” button (8), the
coffee will take a few more minutes to be delive-
red; this time is used to pre-heat the machine and
thus optimize the temperature of the coffee.
Note: the appliance is programmed to prewarm
the carafe some minutes before the coffeee is
brewed which gives the best coffee result. This
special feature only operates when the timer
function has been selected.
HOW TO CHOOSE THE FLAVOR OF THE
DRIP COFFEE
With the Flavor System, the flavor of the drip
coffee can be chosen according to personal taste.
By turning the flavor adjustment knob (Fig. 11), the
coffee maker can be set for coffee with a strong
(STRONG position) or light taste (LIGHT position).
The Flavor System changes the strength of the
aftertaste of the coffee, while the actual taste
remains the same.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before performing any cleaning or maintenance
operations, turn the machine off, unplug it from the
outlet and allow it to cool down.
1. When cleaning the coffee maker, do not use
solvents or abrasive detergents. A soft, damp
cloth is sufficient.
2. Never immerse the coffee maker in water: it is
an electrical appliance.
CLEANING THE FLAVOR SAVOR
To clean the Flavor Savor more efficiently, it can be
removed from the filter holder cone by pressing it
lightly inwards (Fig. 12). To replace it, simply slide
it in from above (Fig. 13).
