IMPORTANT -
If coarse grounds are in your coffee, the used filter is damaged or
coffee ran out over the brim (see: ‘Solving Problems’).
KEEP WARM FUNCTION AND AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF
After the brewing cycle is complete, the appliance switches to the keep warm func-
tion automatically with all elements on the control panel illuminated still and the on/
off button illuminated red. The heating plate keeps your coffee hot for up to 60
minutes (1 hour at 70-75°C), However, you can cancel the keep warm function by
touching the on/off button any time you like.
IMPORTANT -
Only the on/off button is active, while the keep warm function is
running. No other button will respond to your touch. By switching off the appli-
ance (touching the on/off button), the keep warm function is cancelled completely.
There is no way to start the keep warm function without starting a brewing cycle.
After the maximum keep warm time elapsed, an acoustic signal sounds and the
appliance switches off automatically. Thereafter, only the on/off button is illumina-
ted. If desired, via the on/off button you can immediately switch on the appliance
and start a new brewing cycle.
If the appliance is idle for more than 1 minute (no buttons pressed, no function run-
ning), the appliances switches off automatically and the control panel gets dark
despite of the on/off button. However, any entries already made will be kept in
memory. For activating the appliance again, simply touch the on/off button. This
action does not start any operation but simply puts the appliance in operating mode
again, waiting for your entries.
IMPORTANT -
The automatic shut-off is triggered only, when the appliance is com-
pletely idle. While the appliance is in operation (e.g. timer control is activated
with the timer button illuminated red), all items on the control panel stay illuminated.
INTERNAL TIMER
The appliance is equipped with an internal timer for automatically starting the brew-
ing cycle at a pre-selected point in time (starting time). The begin of the brewing
cycle is indicated via an acoustic signal. You can control the timer via the timer but-
ton (see: ‘Brewing Coffee / Using the Timer’).
WARNING
–
When operating the appliance via the internal timer (time
control system), the appliance starts the pre-programmed brewing cycle auto-
matically at the given point in time (starting time), without any further input or
supervision by the user. Always ensure to prepare the appliance completely
and correctly according to the following instructions (see: ‘Brewing Coffee’),
before activating the timer (timer button is illuminated red, the timer icon is
shown on the display area).
NOTE
You cannot operate the appliance via any external timer or remote control system.
After an interruption of the power supply, the appliance always starts with the def-
ault factory settings, waiting for your input.
IMPORTANT -
For activating timer operation, you need to set the internal clock
first. The internal clock is shown on the display, as soon as the appliance is swit-
ched on (see: ‘Setting the Internal Clock’). Thereafter you can adjust the starting
time for the timer (see: ‘Using the Timer’).
TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS
The following tips shall help you to get the desired optimum results as quickly as
possible and to keep this level of quality.
WATER
• Use fresh, cold tap water or for preparing coffee. Alternatively, use low-mineral
bottled water, when the water hardness in your area is very high. Do not use de-
mineralized or highly filtered water. The coffee could get a stale and unpleasant
flavour and the appliance will not work correctly.
• For each brewing cycle, the appliance always uses the complete amount of
water filled into the water tank. Thus, via the filling level in the water tank and
adapting your setting for the number of cups accordingly, you get a way of adju-
sting the strength of your coffee. It is not mandatory to set the number of cups via
the cups button according to the filling level.
CLEANING
A clean coffee maker is an essential condition for making high quality coffee (see:
‘Care and Cleaning’).
