steam escaping through the water outlet.
Making coffee
Filling with water:
✦
Open the water container lid, fi ll the container with the desired quantity of
water and replace the lid.
Inserting the paper fi lter:
✦
Open the swing-out fi lter sideways and insert a size-4 paper fi lter into the
fi lter insert, fi rst folding down the perforated sides of the fi lter.
Filling with ground coff ee:
✦
For each regular-sized cup (125ml), a measure of about 6 g (= 1½ - 2 teaspoons)
of medium or fi nely ground coff ee will be required. Close the swing-out fi lter
afterwards.
Preparing the glass carafe:
✦
Fit the lid onto the carafe, and then place the carafe into the appliance. If
correctly inserted, the lid will disable the drip-stop mechanism in the fi lter
holder during the brewing cycle.
Starting the brewing cycle:
✦
Insert the plug into a suitable wall outlet and use the On/Off switch to switch
the coff ee maker on. The fi ltration cycle starts and the water passes through
the fi lter.
Removing the glass carafe:
✦
Wait until all the water has passed through the fi lter before the carafe is
removed from the appliance.
Switching off the coff ee maker:
✦
The coff ee may be kept warm inside the carafe by leaving it standing on the
hot-plate. The plate is kept warm until the appliance is switched off . Always
switch off the appliance after use and remove the plug from the wall socket.
Descaling
Depending on the water quality (lime content) in your area as well as the
✦
frequency of use, all thermal household appliances using hot water need
descaling (i.e. removal of lime deposits) on a regular basis to warrant proper
functioning.
A lengthening of the brewing time and increased noise during brewing
✦
indicate that descaling of the coff ee maker has become necessary.
An excessive build-up of lime deposits is very diffi
cult to remove, even when
✦
strong descaling agents are used. It may also cause the brewing system to
leak. We therefore strongly recommend descaling the appliance after each
thirty to forty brewing cycles. For descaling, a vinegar solution may be used
as follows:
