Note:
Even with timer-controlled operation activated, you can start operation manually at
any time you like. For this, simply press the ON/OFF button. The ON/OFF button
will be illuminated to indicate that the appliance is operating, while the AUTO but-
ton goes out and timer-controlled operation is deactivated. Thereafter, if you wish
to activate timer-controlled operation again, you need to switch to timer setting
mode first. Then, timer-controlled operation will be available again.
TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
• A clean coffee maker is crucial for getting the optimum taste of your coffee.
Thus, rinse the filter basket and carafe with hot water after each brewing cycle
to remove the oils of the coffee. Regularly, thorough cleaning of the appliance
is necessary too (see: “Care and Cleaning”). At the latest, when little droplets
of oil accumulate on the surface of your coffee, the appliance needs a thorough
cleaning. However, oiliness may occur more frequently, when a heavily roasted
type of coffee is used.
• With white or sand-coloured particles or stains of lime in the water tank and/
or on the brewing arm, the appliance needs descaling (see: “Descaling”). Addi-
tionally, descale the appliance as soon as possible, when the descaling icon
flashes on the LCD Display during operation.
• Always use fresh cold drinking water for brewing coffee. The usage of mineral
water or de-mineralised or highly filtered water would influence the taste of your
coffee and the functioning of the appliance unfavourably. However, with a high
hardness of the tap water in your residential area, you may use bottled water
with low mineral content.With the DESIGN BREW ADVANCED, you may use
any sufficiently large, heat-resistant coffee container you like (china jug, coffee
mugs). However, it is essential to check that the opening of the used container
is sufficiently large and the coffee will drip continuously into the container an not
run down at the exterior. Thus, keep an eye on the filling process. When filling
cups and mugs directly with a high drip speed setting, it could be necessary to
hold up the cup or mug by the handle just below the filter basket until the cup or
mug is filled.
• Due to the material properties of china, it will take some time to warm the interior
of a china jug via the warming plate. Thus, when using a china jug, pour in and
toss some boiling water in the jug. Leave the water in the jug, while preparing
the appliance for operation. Discard the water just before placing the jug onto
the warming plate and switching on the appliance. This way, the coffee will drip
into a pre-warmed jug and stay hot.
