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 jug 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
fi
lling the
appliance with fresh water shortly after
a brewing cycle is completed, there is a
danger of scalding from hot water or steam
escaping through the water outlet.
Making coffee
∙
Filling with water:
Open the water container lid,
fi
ll the
container with the desired quantity of water
and replace the lid.
∙
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 tea-spoons)
of medium or
fi
nely ground coffee will
be required. Close the swing-out fi lter
afterwards.
∙
Preparing the glass jug:
Fit the lid onto the jug, and then place the jug
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:
Insert the plug into a suitable wall outlet and
use the On/Off button to switch the coffee
maker on. The
fi
ltration cycle starts and the
water passes through the fi lter.
∙
Removing the glass jug:
Wait until all the water has passed through
the
fi
lter before the carafe is removed from
the appliance.
∙
Switching off the coffee maker:
Wait until all the water has passed through
the
fi
lter before the jug is removed from the
appliance.
∙
Keeping the coffee warm:
The coffee may be kept warm inside the jug
by leaving it standing on the hot-plate. The
plate is kept hot for around 35 minutes after
brewing is complete.
∙
Interrupting the brewing/keeping-warm
cycle:
To interrupt the brewing cycle, or if the
keeping-warm function is not needed, press
the On/Off button again to turn the appliance
off.
∙
Switching off the coffee maker:
Remove the plug from the wall socket once
brewing/keeping-warm is complete.
Descaling
∙
Depending on the water quality (lime
content) in your area as well as the
frequency of use, all thermal household
appliances using hot water need
descaling (i.e. removal of lime deposits)
on a regular basis to warrant proper
functioning.
