Before preparing the first cup of coffee
• Connect appliance to socket. Cord can be lengh -
tend or shortened by using the cable storage (

)
• The display (LCD) is illuminated and flashes.
• Set the time by using the buttons „H“ and „MIN“
(
2
). A quick run is possible by pressing the
buttons constantly.
• To save energy, the LCD-light switches off 2
seconds after last use of one of the buttons. If you
want to have a constant lighting of the display press
the buttons “H” and “MIN” together for longer
than 1 second. Switching off the light can be done
the same way.
• For cleaning the appliance before first use, fill the
watertank with clear, cold water. Press button
“ON/OFF” (
3
) to start the cleaning process.
Switch off the appliance with “ON/OFF” button
after the end of the brewing process. Repeat this
once.
Adjusting the water hardness
To maintain value and function of the appliance it has
an integrated descaling programme. The appliance can
be programmed with 4 degrees of water hardness. It
is set to high water hardness in factory. We recom-
mend an individual adjustment based on your local
degree of hardness. You can ask your local water sup-
plier or use a special control strip for determining.
To adjust degree of hardness press button „CALC“
(
4
) and keep it pressed. The display shows the factory
provided presetting. For adjustment press button
„MIN“ as long as the display shows your desired
degree of hardness. 2 seconds after releasing the
“CALC” button, the display shows the time again.
Your choosen water hardness is programmed. Last
adjustment maintains even when the appliance will be
disconnected from socket.
Coffee preparation
To maintain the best aroma of your coffee keep the
coffee packaging always closed and store it in a refrid-
gerator. We recommend to use 6g ground coffee per
cup for best taste. To secure an optimal brewing
result fold the filterbag 102
®
as described on the
packaging.
• Fill the removable water tank (
6
) with fresh, cold
water. The needed amount of water based on cups
to prepare can be read off the cup scale on the
water tank.
• Insert the water tank again.
• Swivel out the filter (
7
). Place a filterbag into the
filtercone and fill in your desired quantity of ground
coffee into the filterbag. Swivel filter back until it
snaps in.
• Press „ON/OFF“ button (
3
). The green LED is illu-
minated and the brewing process starts.
• After end of brewing you can remove the jug from
the appliance. The drip stop avoids dripping.
• Let the appliance cool down for 5 minutes between
2 brewing cycles.
Timer function
The appliance is equipped with a timer function. With
this function, the brewing process can be started
automatically at a pre-programmed time.
• Press the button „TIMER“ (
5
) and keep it pressed.
When programming first time 00:00 is flashing in
the display.
• Set the desired starting time by using the buttons
„H“ and „MIN“ (
2
). A quick run is possible by
pressing the buttons constantly.
• After releasing the button „TIMER“, the current
time appears again after 2 seconds. The choosen
starting time for brewing process is programmed. It
remains until a new starting time will be programmed
or when the appliance disconnected from socket.
• By pressing the “TIMER” button again shortly, the
function is activated for the next brewing cycle. Blue
LED light shows activation and the programmed
starting time is visible in the display for a few
seconds.
• The timer-function can be de-activated by a further
press on the “TIMER” button. The blue LED light
expires.
• The brewing process can be started independently
from timer-function by pressing the “ON/OFF”
button.
Adjustable warmkeeping time
Longterm warmkeeping of the coffee on the warming-
plate leads to loss of taste. Therefore we recommend
a warmkeeping time for not longer than 30 minutes.
This time is presetted for securing an optimal coffee
quality and also to avoid unneeded energy consumption.
If you want to keep your coffee warm for a longer
time, you can set the time in 4 steps until appliance
switches off automatically.
• For setting the warmkeeping time keep the
“ON/OFF” button pressed. 0:30 appears in the
display.
• Set the needed warmkeeping time by pressing the
“MIN” button in 30 minutes steps (up to 2 hours
max.)
• After releasing the “ON/OFF” button, the current
time appears again after 2 seconds. Last setting
maintains even when the appliance will be discon-
nected from socket.
