Using the appliance
Brewing coffee
The intensity switch lets you set the way the water flows through the coffee bed: a wide water distribution
setting gives a smooth, mild taste, while a concentrated distribution results in a strong intense taste.
1 Make sure the plug is in an earthed wall socket.
2 Make sure the glass jug or insulated jug (with the lid in the ‘closed/brewing’ position)
is placed under the filter holder.
3 Set the coffee strength you prefer with the intensity knob. (Fig. 12)
To choose the coffee strength, turn the knob to the preferred position: mild, regular or intense.
4 Remove the water tank and fill it with fresh, cold tap water (Fig. 13).
The level indications correspond to small cups of 80ml and large cups of 120ml.
5 Put the lid on the water tank (1) and put the water tank back onto the appliance properly (2) (Fig. 2).
6 Take a paper filter (type 1x4 or no. 4) and fold the sealed edges to prevent tearing and
folding (Fig. 14).
7 Open the filter holder lid (1) and put a paper filter in the filter holder (2) (Fig. 15).
8 Put pre-ground coffee (filter-fine grind) in the filter (1) and close the filter holder lid (2) (Fig. 16).
Tip: Experiment with the amount of coffee and water to find out the perfect coffee-to-water ratio for you.
9 Press the on/off switch downwards to switch on the appliance (Fig. 6).
10 When all the water has passed through the filter, you can remove the jug from the appliance.
If you remove the jug for more than 20 seconds before all the water has passed through the
filter, the filter may overflow.
,
HD7699/HD7697: the appliance switches off automatically after brewing. The insulated jug
keeps the coffee hot.
,
HD7695/HD7685: the coffee is kept hot on the hotplate until you switch off the appliance or
until the appliance switches of automatically after the set keep-warm time.
11 Open the filter holder lid (1) and remove the filter holder (2) (Fig. 17).
12 Throw away the paper filter. (Fig. 18)
13 Let the appliance cool down for at least 3 minutes before you start brewing coffee again.
Note: If you set a keep-warm time of 60 minutes or more, the light in the on/off switch starts to flash
after 30 minutes to indicate that the freshness of your coffee is declining.

1 Unplug the appliance.
2 Clean the outside of the appliance with a moist cloth (Fig. 19).
