CAUTION
– If the filter holder cannot be inserted easily under the brewing
head, check whether the filter system is installed correctly. Do not use violence, but
clear away the obstacle (see: ‘Solving Problems’). When using a filter bag,
perhaps, you must push the splash shield gently down onto the filter bag.
Always empty the steel carafe completely, before starting the brewing cycle.
Otherwise the steel carafe could overflow with hot coffee running out.
3. Place the splash shield in the correct orientation on the filter basket. If the splash
shield does not lie stable on the filter basket, the splash shield must be turned over.
4. Turn the filter holder under the brewing head and slightly press the filter holder
into the front of the appliance until the filter holder engages securely under the
brewing head.
5. For pre-warming the steel carafe, pour some boiling water into the steel carafe and
toss the water in the steel carafe for some seconds. Thereafter empty the steel carafe
completely, close the carafe lid and insert the steel carafe into the coffee machine.
6. Insert the power plug into a suitable power outlet (see: ‘Important Safeguards for
Electrical Appliances’). The on/off button illuminates white.
7. Touch the on/off button to switch on the appliance. All buttons and the display
area illuminate. After connecting the appliance to the power supply, the factory
settings are active and shown on the display area. The appliance is ready for
operation now.
NOTE
After plugging in, the internal clock is set to 12 o'clock (high noon, 12:00). You
need to adjust the clock only when timer operation is desired (see: ‘Using the
Timer’). No other function is influenced by the clock.
ADJUSTING THE AMOUNT, STRENGTH, AND TASTE OF YOUR COFFEE
There are various possible adjustments, you can use to adapt the strength and taste of
your coffee to your likings. The influence of these parameters is described in chapter ‘Pro-
perties of Your New COFFEE MACHINE GRIND & BREW PRO THERMO’. Additional-
ly, several useful hints concerning these settings are given in chapter ‘Tips for Best Results’.
NOTE
The appliance always uses the complete amount of water within the water tank.
Therefore, you select the
actual amount of brewed coffee
via the filling level
within the water tank (see: ‘Preparing the Appliance for Operation’).
