2. Press the opening button (“OPEN”) at the right side of the housing and swivel
out the filter holder. Remove the splash shield. Ensure that the filter basket is in
place in the filter holder. Insert the re-usable filter into the filter basket and fold the
handle of the re-usable filter completely down. Alternatively, line the interior of
the filter basket via a paper filter bag size 4 (see: ‘Properties of Your New Cof-
fee Machine Grind & Brew Pro’). For this, fold in the seams of the filter bag first.
Then hold the filter holder with one hand for avoiding to push the filter holder
down, because this could case damage to the hinges. Spread out the filter bag
at the inner walls of the filter basket. If you wish to use pre-ground coffee pow-
der, this is the best moment for filling the desired amount of coffee power into
the filter bag. Do not fill in more than 10-12 level measuring spoonful (approx.
60 g). Otherwise, the filter basket could overflow during brewing. Do not forget
to de-activate the grinder by touching the grinder button. The grinder button must
be illuminated red.
IMPORTANT - Please, do not forget to de-activate the grinder, when using pre-
ground coffee powder!
CAUTION
– If the filter holder cannot be inserted easily under the brewing
head, check whether the filter system is installed correctly. Do not use violence, but
clear away the obstacle (see: ‘Solving Problems’). When using a filter bag,
perhaps, you must push the splash shield gently down onto the filter bag.
Always empty the glass carafe completely, before starting the brewing cycle.
Otherwise the glass carafe could overflow with hot coffee running out.
3. Place the splash shield in the correct orientation on the filter basket. If the splash
shield does not lie stable on the filter basket, the splash shield must be turned over.
4. Turn the filter holder under the brewing head and slightly press the filter holder
into the front of the appliance until the filter holder engages securely under the
brewing head.
5. Empty the glass carafe completely and, if required, rinse the glass carafe with clear
water. Place the empty glass carafe onto the heating plate below the filter holder.
6. Insert the power plug into a suitable power outlet (see: ‘Important Safeguards for
Electrical Appliances’). The on/off button illuminates white.
7. Touch the on/off button to switch on the appliance. All buttons and the display
area illuminate. After connecting the appliance to the power supply, the factory
settings are active and shown on the display area. The appliance is ready for
operation now.
NOTE
After plugging in, the internal clock is set to 12 o'clock (high noon, 12:00). You
need to adjust the clock only when timer operation is desired (see: ‘Using the
Timer’). No other function is influenced by the clock.
ADJUSTING THE AMOUNT, STRENGTH, AND TASTE OF YOUR COFFEE
There are various possible adjustments, you can use to adapt the strength and taste
of your coffee to your likings. The influence of these parameters is described in chap-
ter ‘Properties of Your New Coffee Machine Grind & Brew Pro’. Additionally, seve-
ral useful hints concerning these settings are given in chapter ‘Tips for Best Results’.
NOTE
The appliance always uses the complete amount of water within the water tank.
Therefore, you select the
actual amount of brewed coffee
via the filling level
within the water tank (see: ‘Preparing the Appliance for Operation’).
IMPORTANT -
As long as the appliance is live without interruption, your settings
will be kept in memory. All your individual settings get lost when interrupting the
connection to the power supply and via power failure. In this case the parameters
are reset to factory values. However, there is no influence of the power supply on
the setting of the grind size, selected via the adjusting dial on top of the brewing
head. You should select medium settings for your first experiments.
Adjusting the Grinder
IMPORTANT -
Ensure to switch off the grinder, when using pre-ground coffee pow-
der. Otherwise, the filter could be overfilled and your coffee gets too strong and/
or runs out at the rim of the filter (see: ‘Tips for Best Results’). Grinder operation
is necessary only when using whole coffee beans. In this case, the bean hopper
must be filled first with the appropriate amount of coffee beans (see: ‘Using Whole
Coffee Beans’).
CAUTION
–
Do not fill pre-ground coffee powder into the bean hopper!
Otherwise, the grinder could get blocked and damaged.
Just as with other drip
coffee makers, coffee powder must be filled directly into the filter.
8. If you do not wish to use the grinder and filled pre-ground coffee powder into
the filter already, ensure to switch off the grinder by touching the grinder button.
With the grinder de-activated, the grinder button illuminates red. If you do not
