- after use.
∙ When removing the plug from the wall
socket, never pull on the power cord;
always grip the plug itself.
∙ Do not allow the power cord to hang free;
the cord must be kept well away from hot
parts of the appliance.
∙ No responsibility will be accepted if
damage results from improper use, or if
these instructions are not complied with.
Automatic switch-off
To save energy, the appliance will switch
itself off automatically around 35 minutes
after the brewing cycle has been completed.
To restart, set the On/Off switch to its ‘ 0 ’
position and then back to ‘ 1 ’.
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 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 and fi ll the
container with the desired quantity of water.
Close the water container lid.
∙ Inserting the paper fi lter:
Open the swing-out fi lter sideways and insert
a size- 2 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 carafe:
Fit the lid onto the carafe, and then place
the carafe into the appliance. If cor-rectly
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 switch to turn the coffee
maker on. The fi ltration cycle starts and the
water passes through the fi lter.
∙ Removing the glass carafe:
Wait until all the water has passed through
the fi lter before the carafe is removed from
the appliance.
∙ Keeping the coffee warm:
The coffee may be kept warm inside the
carafe by leaving it standing on the hot-plate.
The plate is kept hot for around 35 minutes
after brewing is complete.
