• Do not use a carafe that is cracked or if
its handle is loose or deteriorated.
Replace it as soon as you notice any
signs of wear. A crack or chip to the
glass could cause the whole carafe to
break, or glass particles could enter the
liquid.
• Do not clean the carafe with abrasive
scouring pads or cleaners as these could
scratch and deteriorate the glass.
• The carafe is designed for use with this
coffee maker only. Do not place the
carafe on or near hot surfaces (stoves,
ranges, cooker hotplates, hot ovens,
microwaves, etc.)
• Do not stand the carafe on wet or cold
surfaces.
• Avoid any rough handling or knocks.
3. BEFORE USING FOR
THE FIRST TIME
Before using the coffee maker for the first
time, carefully clean all the removable parts
with warm water and detergent (the filter,
filter holder and glass carafe with its lid).
To clean the inside of the coffee maker, run
it twice without any coffee in the filter. For
details of this procedure, see the
instructions in the "Making coffee" section.
4. MAKING COFFEE
Always use cold water to make coffee.
1. Take the lid off the water tank and fill it
up with the desired amount of water (2
cups minimum and 4 cups maximum). Fit
the lid correctly back onto the water tank
again.
2. Fit the filter into the filter holder (fig. 1).
Place the desired amount of ground
coffee for 2 or 4 cups in the filter
(observe the marks on the inside of the
filter). Clean any coffee residues from the
edge of the filter holder. Do not
compress the coffee or exceed the 4-cup
mark.
3. Fit the filter holder onto the coffee maker
in the direction of the arrows and turn it
to "OK" position (fig. 2).
4. Place the glass carafe on the drip grid so
that the hole in the centre of the lid is
directly underneath the coffee nozzle.
5. 5. Plug in the coffee maker and turn the
function selector to
(fig. 3.b). The
appliance will take a few minutes to
reach the correct temperature.
6. When all the water has gone, turn the
function selector to "0". The pilot light will
switch off (fig. 3.a).
7. Unplug the appliance and then turn the
function selector to
(fig. 3.c), so that
all the steam left in the tank is expelled.
8. Wait for approximately 2 minutes before
removing the filter holder from the
appliance. To remove the filter holder,
turn it in the opposite direction. Hold it by
its lever (h) and empty it (fig. 4).
5. MAKING CAPPUCCINO COFFEE
1. Fill the water tank with the amount of
water for the desired number of cups of
coffee, and add 1 or 1
1/2
more cups of
water to make steam.
2. Fill a tall, narrow container (preferably
metal) half-full of very cold low-fat milk.
3. Place the steam pipe (c) in the container,
with the steam nozzle (d) submerged
about 2 cm in the milk, without touching
the bottom of the container.
4. Turn the function selector to a position
within the steam adjustment field,
between the symbols
and
(fig.
3.c). Wait for a few seconds until the
steam is expelled. When it has finished
frothing up the milk, turn the function
selector to "0" (fig. 3.a).
5. Unplug the appliance and turn the
function selector to
to expel any
steam left in the tank.
6. Clean the steam pipe (c) and the
steam nozzle (d) with a damp cloth after
each use. Take care not to touch them
directly with your hands (see section
on cleaning).
