Read the instructions and keep them safe. If you pass the appliance on, pass on the instructions
too. Remove all packaging, but keep it till you know the appliance works.
important safeguards
Follow basic safety precautions, including:
1 This appliance must only be used by or under the supervision of a responsible adult. Use and
store the appliance out of reach of children.
2 Don’t put the appliance in liquid, don’t use it in a bathroom, near water, or outdoors.
3 Don’t touch hot surfaces (e.g. carafe, hotplate).
4 The scald hazard lasts long after boiling. Keep the appliance and cable away from the edges
of worktops and out of reach of children.
5 Sit the appliance on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface.
6 Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be tripped over or caught.
7 Unplug the appliance when not in use, before moving and before cleaning.
8 Fill with at least 2 cups of water, but not above the
max
mark.
9 Put the carafe on the hotplate before switching the coffee maker on.
10 If you want to stop the coffee maker while it’s brewing, press the button.
11 Let the appliance cool for about 10 minutes before adding water or re–using, to avoid spitting.
12 Don’t put the carafe in a microwave oven.
13 Keep the appliance and the cable away from hotplates, hobs or burners.
14 Don’t use accessories or attachments other than those we supply.
15 Don’t use the appliance for any purpose other than those described in these instructions.
16 This appliance must not be operated by an external timer or remote control system.
17 Don’t use the appliance if it’s damaged or malfunctions.
18 If the cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or
someone similarly qualified, in order to avoid hazard.
household use only
before using for the first time
1 Fill the reservoir to the
max
mark, and run the appliance without coffee.
2 Let it cool, discard the water, then use it normally.
ground coffee
3 If you want to buy ready-ground coffee, medium-ground filter coffee will give you the best
results. The amount will vary with the type of coffee and your individual taste. We suggest
starting with two rounded teaspoons of medium-ground coffee per cup.
storing coffee
4 Coffee is best kept in an airtight container in a cool dry place, or in the fridge. Exposure to air
oxidises coffee and allows the flavour to evaporate.
milk
5 There’s a great deal of contention on the subject of milk in coffee. Our view is that personal
taste should rule, not convention. If you like milk in your coffee, use warm or hot milk, to
avoid overcooling the coffee. To extract maximum flavour from the coffee, it should be cool
enough not to scald or burn the mouth, but hot enough to let the flavour fill the mouth, nose
and sinuses, not just the taste buds.
bottled water
6 If you use bottled water, check that there are no added ingredients, flavourings, etc., and use
“still” water, not “sparkling”. The carbon dioxide which gives the “sparkle” will adversely affect
the flavour of your coffee.
taste
7 Don’t be tempted to reheat coffee in the appliance. You’ll damage the appliance and the
coffee will be undrinkable.
8 Clean the filter holder and carafe after each use. Residue from a previous brew will spoil your
coffee.
preparation
9 Sit the appliance on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface.
10 Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be tripped over or caught.
11 Don’t plug it in yet.
filling
12 Open the reservoir lid.
13 Use the carafe to fill the reservoir, to avoid overfilling.
14 Fill with at least 2 cups of water, but not above the
max
mark.
15 Alternatively, you may lift the reservoir off the appliance, fill it in the kitchen, and carry it back
to the appliance.
16 Replace the reservoir in the appliance.
17 Close the reservoir lid
36 Use the grip to open the main lid.
19 Put filter-ground coffee into the filter. The amount will vary with the type of coffee and
individual taste, but we suggest two rounded teaspoons per cup of water.
20 Close the main lid.
21 Replace the carafe on the hotplate.
switch on
