Brewing Coffee
1 Pull off and fill the glass jug
F
with the re-
quired amount of water, but do not fill past the
“10” mark. The brewed amount of coffee will
be 10% less than the filled water, because it is
absorbed by the coffee grounds and the filter.

Cleaning and care
Descaling the appliance
Descaling extends the life of your appliance.
Descale your coffee maker at least 4 times per
year. The period depends on the water hardness
in your area. The harder the water is, the more
often the appliance has to be descaled.
1 Purchase a suitable descaler from a speciality
store. Please ask naming the device.
2 Prior to commencing the descaling process thor-
oughly read the manufacturer›s package insert
of the descaler. Should the manufacturer›s in-
structions differ from the ones listed below, then
follow the manufacturer›s instructions.
3 Fill the water tank to the «10» mark and add
descaler. Mixing ratio: 4 parts water to 1 part
descaler.
4 Turn the appliance on and allow approxi-
mately one large coffee cup to run through the
appliance.
5
Turn the appliance off.
6 Let the mixture soak for about 15 minutes.
7 Repeat steps 4 - 6.
8 Now turn the appliance on and let the entire
mixture run through.
9 Fill the water tank with cold, fresh drinking
water and run all the water through.
10 Repeat step 9 four times.
