The following tips shall help you to get the desired optimum results as quickly as
possible and to keep this level of quality.
WATER
• Use fresh, cold tap water for preparing coffee. Alternatively, use low-mineral
bottled water, when the water hardness in your area is very high. Do not use de-
mineralized or highly filtered water. The coffee could get a stale and unpleasant
flavour and the appliance will not work correctly.
• For each brewing cycle, the appliance always uses the complete amount of
water filled into the water tank. Thus, via the filling level in the water tank and
adapting your setting for the number of cups accordingly, you get a way of adju-
sting the strength of your coffee. It is not mandatory to set the number of cups via
the cups button according to the filling level.
CLEANING
A clean coffee maker is an essential condition for making high quality coffee (see:
‘Care and Cleaning’).
• After each usage, thoroughly rinse all parts of the appliance that came in contact
with coffee. For this, use clear, hot water. This way, you avoid that residues of
coffee dry on the surfaces. Additionally, you should perform a thorough cleaning
cycle regularly. Deposits of lime have a negative influence on the functioning of
the appliance and, as well, on the taste of your coffee. Depending on the water
hardness of the water used and on the frequency of usage, descale the appli-
ance regularly. Different types of coffee beans or coffee powder and different
roasts lead to differences in the oil content of the coffee. These oils may cover
the surfaces of the filter system and steel carafe. At the latest, when droplets of
oil accumulate on the brewed coffee, you should clean all parts thoroughly, that
come in contact with coffee. Use hot dishwater and a soft cloth or soft brush for
removing any traces of oils.
• Strongly roasted types of coffee beans lead quite easily to droplets of oil on the
coffee, due to the normal content of oils and flavours. If desired, use another
brand of coffee beans.
CHOICE AND STORAGE OF COFFEE BEANS
• Ground coffee will loose taste and flavour remarkably in short time. Avoid sto-
ring pre-ground coffee powder for more than 1 week. It is best to grind coffee
directly before brewing to maximise flavour. Coffee beans are consumed best
