BREWING COFFEE
WARNING – RISK OF BURNS:
During operation, some parts of the appli-
ance will get very hot, especially the brewing arm, filter basket, carafe, and war-
ming plate. Hot steam and hot water may escape. Always switch OFF (ON/OFF
button gets dark), unplug and wait until the appliance cooled down, before clea-
ning or moving the appliance.
Do not hold your hands, arms or face or any delicate object over the appliance or
carafe or under the filter basket during operation and some time thereafter to avoid
scalds due to hot water and hot steam. Pour hot coffee carefully.
Always ensure to prepare the appliance for operation completely and correctly accor-
ding to the instructions given in this booklet (see: “Assembling the Appliance”), before
connecting the appliance to the power supply.
The brewing arm must be installed
correctly and firmly on the riser pipe in the centre of the water tank to prevent
hot water from splashing vigorously out of the riser pipe.
Additionally, the filter
basket must be locked on the filter support, and a sufficiently large container fitting
properly below the filter basket (e.g. the provided carafe or an appropriate china
jug) must be placed on the warming plate below the filter basket, before connecting
the appliance to the power supply. Otherwise, hot water could run out, causing high
risk of scalds and damage.
Only use heat-resistant containers with the appliance (e.g. large cups, mugs, and
jugs made of china or stoneware). Otherwise, hot water could run out and cause
severe burns and damage. Additionally, splinters or melted foreign particles or
chemicals could get into your beverages, causing severe harm.
Always keep the working space clean and dry. Do not pour or spill any liquids on or
under the appliance. Do not place clothes or similar materials on or under the appli-
ance during operation to avoid overheating and electric shock.
Do not operate the appliance with the water tank empty. While filling the water
tank, ensure that the water will not run out of the overflow opening at the rear. Do
not fill in more than 1.25 litres (filling level 1.25). When using other containers than
the designated carafe, always ensure that the amount of water in the water tank will
fit completely into your container without overflow. If any liquid has been spilled on
the appliance or liquid is accumulating under the appliance, immediately unplug the
appliance. Wipe off spilled liquids immediately. Thereafter clean and dry the appli-
ance according to the instructions in chapter “Care and Cleaning”. Then leave the
appliance dry naturally for at least 1 day.
Always use clear, cold tap water or bottled table water with low mineral content for
operating the appliance. Do not use mineral water or de-mineralised water.
