• Use only cold water and filter paper n°2 or
4 (fig.5) or the permanent filter* (fig.4).
• Do not exceed the maximum quantity of
water indicated by the water level on the
tank.
• This coffee maker has a drip stop so that
you can serve coffee before the end of
the cycle. Once your coffee is served,
replace the jug or thermal pot* to prevent
overflowing.
• Ground Coffee: Use one measuring spoon
of ground coffee per large cup.
• Wait a few minutes before making a
second pot of coffee.
• Do not make another pot of coffee if the
jug already contains coffee.
Thermal pot*
• Do not use the thermal pot without its lid.
• The lid of the isothermal pot must be
closed properly when preparing coffee and
to keep it warm.
• To serve coffee, press the lever on the lid of
the isothermal pot downwards or unscrew
the lid half way*.
• Do not put your thermal pot in the
microwave or dishwasher.
• Rinse the thermal pot in hot water before
using so that it retains heat better and do
not put it back inside the coffee maker
after you have prepared the coffee.
• The thermal pot keeps your coffee warm
for a maximum of four hours.
Aroma selector* (see figure n°7)
• The aroma selector (fig.7) allows you to
adjust the intensity of the coffee.
• For a stronger cup of coffee, turn the
aroma setting either towards the black cup
or the large coffee grain*.
Automatic stop*
• In order to save energy, your coffee ma-
chine will turn off automatically.
- Models with glass pot:
About 30 minutes after the end of the
coffee brewing cycle (i.e. about 30 mi-
nutes after there is no more water in the
tank), your coffee machine will turn off
automatically. The light on the on/off
button will turn off.
During these 30 minutes, your coffee will
be kept warm at a suitable temperature.
- Models with thermo pot:
A few minutes after the end of the
brewing cycle (i.e. a few minutes after
there is no more water in the tank), your
coffee machine will turn off automati-
cally. The light on the on/off button will
turn off.
Reheating the coffee
• Do not put the glass jug into the microwave
if it has a metallic part (e.g.: metal band).
Cleaning
• To dispose of the used coffee grounds,
remove the filter paper (fig.5) or permanent
filter* (fig.4).
• Unplug the appliance from the wall socket
outlet, and allow the coffee maker to
completely cool down.
• Clean with a cloth or damp sponge.
• Do not clean the appliance when it is still
hot.
• Never immerse the appliance, the power
cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
Dishwasher:
• The removable filter holder is dishwasher
safe.
• Only glass jugs without a metal band can
be placed in the dishwasher (without lid).
Thermal jug*
• Do not clean with abrasive cleaning
products.
• Do not put your hand inside to clean (risk
of breaks).
• To clean your Thermal jug, fill it with soapy
water and then rinse out thoroughly.
• In cases where the jug becomes very
stained by the coffee, fill it with lukewarm
water, add a dishwasher detergent tablet
and let it soak. Afterwards, rinse out
thoroughly.
Descaling
• Descale your coffee maker every 40 uses.
You can use:
- a sachet of descaling agent diluted in two
large cups of water;

available white vinegar.

coffee maker (without coffee).
