Before each usage, ensure that the glass carafe is completely undamaged. Do
not use the glass carafe when there are any cracks or chipped edges to avoid
that the glass carafe brakes to pieces and/or splinters get into your beverages,
causing severe injuries.
Do not press on the filter holder to avoid damaging the hinges of the filter holder.
Always use clear, cold tap water or bottled table water with low mineral content for
operating the appliance. Do not use mineral water, de-mineralised water, or other
liquids. Do not fill other liquids into the water tank (e.g. hot water, milk, or tea) to
avoid damage to the appliance.
Always keep the working space clean and dry. Do not let any liquids run on or under
the housing of the appliance.
Do not pour any liquids into the bean hopper!
Do
not fill the water tank above the maximum filling level 12. Otherwise, surplus water
runs down at the rear of the water tank.
If any liquid is spilled on the appliance or liquid is accumulating under the appli-
ance, immediately switch OFF and unplug the appliance. Wipe off spilled water
immediately. Thereafter thoroughly clean and dry the appliance (see: ‘Care and
Cleaning’), and leave the appliance dry naturally for at least 1 day.
IMPORTANT -
Only use filter bags with size 4 or the provided re-usable filter. Do
not forget to cover the filter via the splash shield.
NOTE
The amount of brewed coffee will always be somewhat smaller than the amount of
water, you poured into the water tank, because the coffee powder will be soaked
with water after brewing.
USING WHOLE COFFEE BEANS
CAUTION
– The grinder is designed for grinding whole, roasted, and dry
coffee beans that are fit for consumption. Do not fill in any pre-ground coffee pow-
der or any other substances. If the interior of the grinder gets wet, coffee powder
may stick to the inner parts, clock the grinder, and cause an unpleasant flavour. In
the worst case, with rare usage of the appliance, mouldering and damage to the
grinder could occur.
IMPORTANT -
The hopper lid is equipped with a sealing ring at the rim for kee-
ping the flavour of your coffee. Always close the bean hopper after filling. This will
keep moist and dust away from your coffee also. However, even with the bean
hopper closed correctly, some components for the flavour evaporate from the cof-
fee beans and your coffee may get a stale taste, when stored in the bean hopper
for an elongated time. Only fill the bean hopper with the appropriate amount of
coffee beans, you expect to consume within some days.
CAUTION
– Do not attempt to remove the dark bean guiding cone within the
bean hopper. The bean guiding cone prevents blockage of the grinder inlet by
coffee beans and cannot be removed. Do not attempt to push coffee beans under
the bean guiding cone to avoid blockage of the grinder.
1. Remove the hopper lid and fill max. 250 g fresh, whole, and dry coffee beans
into the bean hopper. Do not overfill the bean hopper. It is essential that the
hopper lid can be closed correctly. Slightly press the hopper lid down on the
bean hopper for closing the bean hopper tightly.
PREPARING THE APPLIANCE FOR OPERATION
NOTE
During the brewing cycle the appliance uses the complete amount of water in the
water tank always. Therefore, you actually adjust the number of cups that will be
brewed via the filling level in the water tank.
NOTE
For filling the water tank, it is good advice to use the glass carafe of the appliance.
Via the scale on the glass carafe, you can measure up the desired amount and
avoid overfilling the water tank and glass carafe.
CAUTION
– The filter holder is locked under the brewing head.
Do not
attempt to pull the filter holder out from under the brewing head with violence
to avoid damage.
Do not attempt to operate the appliance without the filter bas-
ket. This holds also, when the re-usable filter is used.
1. Fold the water tank lid back to the rear of the appliance and pour the required
amount of cold, clear tap water (max. 1.5 litres, approx. 12 cups) into the water
tank. While doing so, ensure that the water will not run out at the overflow ope-
ning on the rear of the water tank. Do not attempt to fill the water tank above
the filling level 12. After filling close the water tank lid.
