Problem
Possible Reason
The Solution
Not enough coffee beans
in the bean hopper.
Before starting operation, ensure that the bean hopper is
filled sufficiently with coffee beans.
The grinder is not adjusted
sufficiently.
Adjust the settings of the appliance according to your
liking. For this, refer to the hints given in chapter ‘Tips
for Best Results’.
The freshness or brand
of your coffee powder
changed.
Flavour and taste of your coffee depend on the type and
freshness of your coffee beans/powder. Adapt the set-
tings accordingly (see: ‘Tips for Best Results’). Use fresh
coffee beans / coffee powder.
Using pre-ground coffee
powder: You did not de-
activate the grinder of
the appliance. Surplus
coffee powder is in the
filter.
When using pre-ground coffee powder, the grinder must
be de-activated for each brewing cycle again. Before
starting the brewing cycle, touch the grinder button for
DE-ACTIVATING the grinder. The grinder button must be
illuminated RED.
When removing the glass
carafe, the coffee drips
from the filter basket still.
The drip-stop valve is
clogged or sticks.
Immediately replace the glass carafe on the heating plate
of the appliance. Wait until the brewing cycle is comple-
te, indicated by the acoustic signal. Before next operati-
on, thoroughly clean the filter basket rinsing the drip stop
valve repeatedly (see: ‘Care and Cleaning’). Before next
use, ensure that the drip-stop valve closes the bottom of
the filter basket correctly.
The filter basket is damaged. Contact your vendor for replacement.
CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING
– A
lways ensure that the appliance is out of reach of young
children.
During operation and some time thereafter, steam and hot water may
escape from the brewing head, filter system, and glass carafe. Additionally, the
heating plate will be hot. Handle with care to avoid scalds.
Always unplug the appliance and leave the appliance cool down, before clea-
ning. Engage the filter holder under the brewing head and remove the glass carafe,
before moving the appliance.
Hygienic cleaning is done via the steps given in the following instructions. To avoid
hazards due to electric shock and damage: Do not immerse the housing, or power
cord in water or any other liquid. Do not spill or drip any liquids on the housing or
power cord.
Do not place the appliance, or power cord in an automatic dish-
washer!
CAUTION
–
Always handle the glass carafe with care to avoid damage to
the glass carafe and carafe lid.
To avoid damage to the glass: Do not hit the
glass carafe against hard and/or sharp-edged objects. Do not scratch within the
glass carafe. Do not expose the glass carafe to extreme temperature variations
(e.g. by pouring cold water into the hot glass carafe).
Do not use the glass cara-
fe again, if there are any cracks or chipped edges in the glass carafe. Other-
wise, the glass carafe could crack to pieces and/or splinters and shards could
get into your beverages, causing severe injuries.
The carafe lid cannot be removed!
The carafe lid pushes the drip-stop valve open.
To avoid overflow and risk of electric shock, fire, and hot liquid running out, the glass
carafe must be replaced, when the carafe lid is damaged in any way.
Do not use any violence. Do not press or push onto the filter holder to avoid damage
to the hinge. Do not use any abrasive cleaners or cleaning pads (e.g. metal scouring
pads) or any hard or sharp-edged objects for cleaning the appliance or any parts of
it, to avoid damage to the surfaces. Do not use any corrosive agents (e.g. chemical
bleach, unsuited descaling agents).
For cleaning, take the filter basket out of the filter holder. Do not leave any coffee
powder in the filter basket after operation. Residues of wet coffee powder easily go
mouldy, when left within the appliance.
IMPORTANT -
Descale the water system of the appliance regularly (e.g. monthly)
for avoiding damage to the water system, and maintaining correct operation and
good taste and flavour of your coffee (see: ‘Descaling’).
CLEANING THE FILTER BASKET, SPLASH SHIELD, AND RE-USABLE
FILTER
After each use, rinse filter basket, splash shield, and re-usable filter thoroughly with
hot water (see above: ‘Immediately After Use’) to keep the filter system in good wor-
king condition. However, thorough cleaning according to the following instructions
should be performed regularly (e.g. monthly).
IMPORTANT -
Do not leave any residues of coffee powder dry on the parts of the
filter system. This holds especially for the re-usable filter, because the fine nylon
mesh could get clogged. Do not use violence.
