Before using for the fi rst time
Before making coffee for the fi rst time,
let the appliance go through two or three
fi ltration cycles using the indicated maximum
amount of cold water, but without using
ground coffee. This should also be done
if the appliance has not been used for an
extended period of time, and after descaling.
General information
∙ A measuring scale on the water container
and on the glass carafe facilitates fi lling
the container with the correct amount
of clean water. With a dual-scale, the
left scale is used for regular-sized cups
of approx.125 ml, while the right scale is
used for smaller cups. Make sure that the
indicated maximum amount of water is not
exceeded.
∙ If several consecutive brewing cycles
are required, switch off the coffee maker
after each cycle and let the appliance cool
down for approx. 5 minutes.
∙ Important note: When replacing a
re- fi lled water container shortly after
a brewing cycle has only just been
completed, there is a danger of scalding
from hot water or steam escaping through
the water outlet.
Making coffee
∙ Filling with water:
Take out the water container, open the lid,
fi ll the container with the desired quantity of
cold water, close the lid again and replace
the container in the appliance. The container
is hooked in at the top, and must be sitting
fl ush against the appliance.
∙ Inserting the paper fi lter:
Open the swing-out fi lter sideways and insert
a size-4 paper fi lter into the fi lter holder, fi rst
folding down the perforated sides of the fi lter.
∙ Filling with ground coffee:
For each regular-sized cup (125 ml), a
measure of about 6 g (= 1½ - 2 teaspoons)
of medium or fi nely ground coffee 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 manually:
Press the On/Off button once to turn on the
coffee maker. The blue indicator light
comes on.
∙ Starting the brewing cycle at a later
pre-determined time:
Press the AUTO button. The blue AUTO
indicator light comes on and the current
and pre-programmed starting time appear
alternately in the display. The coffee maker
will automatically switch on at the chosen
time.
To check or adjust the pre-programmed
starting time, do not press the AUTO button
at this point; but instead press the PROG
button twice and then change the time, as
described in the Timer section if necessary.
∙ 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 coffee maker:
The coffee may be kept warm inside the
carafe by leaving it standing on the hot-plate.
The plate stays warm for about 40 minutes,
but can also be switched off earlier by
pressing the On/Off button. The blue main
indicator lamp then goes out.
