• Do not use too large filter bags. Otherwise, the filter bag could block
the overflow opening in the filter basket. Therefore, hot liquid could
run down at the exterior of the filter basket, causing high risk of scalds
and damage. Always use size 4 coffee filter bags.
• The carafe is made of glass and fragile. Always handle with care
to avoid damage.
Always remove the carafe from the appliance,
before moving the appliance.
Do not place the carafe on a hot range
or in a heated oven. Do not expose the carafe to extreme temperature
variations. Do not use the carafe, if there are any cracks or chipped
edges. Otherwise, the carafe could burst during operation with large
amounts of hot water running out. Additionally, splinters could get into
your coffee causing severe injuries. Only use the carafe for operating
the appliance in the way, described in this booklet. Do not use the
carafe with the handle loose or damaged in any way.
• For operation, only fill cold, fresh tap water in the water tank up to
filling level 1.25 at the maximum. Do not attempt to switch on the
appliance with the water tank empty. However, do not overfill the
water tank. Otherwise, water could run out and cause hazards due
to overheating, fire and electric shock. When filling, ensure that the
water will not run out at the overflow opening at the rear of the water
tank. Always wipe off spilled liquids immediately. If water runs out or
is spilled on the base, immediately unplug and clean the appliance
(see: “Care and Cleaning”).
• After closing the drip stop valve, you may shortly take out the carafe even
during operation (see: “Drip Speed Control”). However, always ensure
that the coffee will stop running, before taking out the carafe. With water
still in the water tank, after 15 seconds at the maximum place the cara-
fe back onto the warming plate and carefully open the drip stop valve.
Always keep in mind that the drip stop valve is operated manually!
• Always switch OFF (ON/OFF button gets dark) then unplug the appli-
ance, and leave the appliance cool down, before moving, or clea-
ning the appliance, or when the appliance is not in use. Always hold
the base at both sides for moving the appliance.
Do not hold the
appliance at the brewing arm, water tank, filter basket, filter sup-
port, or power cord for moving the appliance.
