Important:
You should descale the appliance regularly – at least when noticing
white or sand-coloured deposits in the water tank or at the riser pipe of the water
tank, or on the brewing arm. At the latest, with the descaling icon
flashing on
the LCD display during operation, the appliance needs descaling. Please, perform
the descaling cycle according to the instructions in section “Descaling” as soon as
possible.
PREPARING THE APPLIANCE FOR OPERATION
1. Remove the water tank lid and fill the water tank with the desired amount of cold,
clear tap water (0.25 to 1.25 litres = 2 -10 cups). Ensure that the water will not
run out of the rear opening of the water tank. Do not fill the water tank above
filling level 1.25.
2.
Ensure that the brewing arm is installed correctly and firmly on the riser pipe
in the centre of the water tank.
The brewing arm may not tilt or fall down, when
removing the filter basket or water tank lid. If in doubt, press the brewing arm
down on the riser pipe, until it settles firmly. Then, replace the water tank lid.
3. By the handle, pull out the filter cover from under the brewing arm. Then turn the
filter basket counter-clockwise, until it unlocks perceptibly from the filter support.
Pull the filter basket out from under the brewing arm.
Important:
Do not overfill the filter bag to avoid overflow of the filter bag, as this
would cause coffee ground getting into your coffee. At the maximum, the coffee
powder should reach half the height of the filter bag (approx. 45 g). Do not apply
any pressure on the filter support, when installing the filter basket. With the filter
basket in correct orientation (handle in 2-o'clock position), the filter basket will slide
down into the filter support without any effort.
4. Spread out a coffee filter bag (size 4) in the filter basket. According to your indi-
vidual taste, fill the desired amount of coffee powder into the filter bag (up to half
the height of the filter bag at the maximum). Place the filter basket onto the filter
support and turn the filter basket a little until it slides down easily into the support.
Then turn the filter basket clockwise until it engages perceptibly on the filter sup-
port. With the brewing arm sliding into the groove of the filter cover, push the
filter cover under the brewing arm onto the filter basket.
5. Ensure, that the carafe is clean and empty. Cover the carafe with the carafe lid,
with the handle of the carafe lid over the handle of the carafe. Press the carafe
lid down gently to lock it on the carafe. Place the carafe onto the warming plate.
