4. Setting the hotplate
Keeping coffee warm on the hotplate affects the taste
of your coffee. To avoid this you should enjoy your
coffee fresh by drinking it as soon after brewing as
possible. Unnecessary warming also uses valuable
energy. The factory settings for the appliance are for
40 minutes of warming. After this the hotplate turns
off automatically. This time can be changed as needed:
• Press the START button
longer than two seconds.
• In the factory settings the START button
flashes
briefly twice with the following pause (…

the power cable.

dispose of the filter bag simply and easily.

Descaling
The CALC button
lights up again if the appliance has
been turned off without descaling. The CALC
button will go off again only after the descaling
programme has been completely finished.
Based on the water hardness level you have set (see

promptly after the CALC button
lights up.
• Follow the manufacturers instructions regarding
amounts and pour the descaler into the water tank.
