Using your Coffee Maker
1. Lift the lid (1) using the tab (2) at the front of the coffee maker.
2. Fill the water tank (4) with the desired amount of water. Do not fill above the MAX level.
• Use cold water. We recommend using filtered water as it reduces limescale and prolongs the
life of your coffee maker. Never use ware or frizzy water.
• Ensure the filter holder (9) is positioned correctly.
3. Fit either the permanent filter (10) supplied or a paper filter into the filter holder (9).
4. Add the coffee using the spoon supplied (approximately 1 tablespoon (7gr.) per cup
depending on your taste).
5. Close the lid (1) and put the glass carafe (7) on the hotplate.
6. Plug in.
7. Turn on the coffee maker by pressing the power button ON/OFF (6). The power indicator
light will turn on.
Note: You can take out the carafe, pour and serve at any time. The coffee maker will
stop dripping automatically for 30 seconds.
8. Remove the carafe from the heating plate at least one minute after the preparation of coffee
is completed. When the carafe is empty, turn off and unplug the appliance.
Notes:
The amount of brewed coffee after the brewing process will always be slightly less than
the amount of water placed into the coffee maker, since some water is absorbed by the
coffee ground or evaporates. Add a little extra water at the beginning so that you end up
with the exact number of cups desired.
If you have not used the appliance for a while, run one full tank of water (without coffee)
through to clean it out.
The coffee maker will turn off automatically, after 40 minutes of the completion of
brewing.
Tips for Great-Tasting Coffee
• A clean coffee maker is essential for making great-tasting coffee. Regularly clean the coffee
maker as specified in the “Cleaning and Maintenance” paragraph.
• Always use fresh, cold water in the coffee maker.
• Fine-cut coffee ensures better filtration, intense aroma and rich flavor. If the coffee is not
grounded well enough, slightly put more required amount of coffee per cup to ensure the same
taste performance.
• Keep coffee in a cool and dry place. When you open the package of coffee, keep it tightly
closed in the refrigerator so as to maintain its freshness.
• For optimal effect, buy whole coffee beans and grind them just before the filtering process.
