with diff erent kinds of lacquer or plastic
materials, which are then treated with
various cleaning agents, it cannot be
completely ruled out that some of those
materials contain substances which may
react with the rubber feet of the appliance,
i.e. soft ening them. To prevent this, a
suitable non-slip mat should be placed
under the appliance wherever necessary.
Caution:
z
Th
ere is a
danger of scalding
from hot water or steam escaping through
the fi lter insert lid during use. Ensure
that the steam is allowed to escape freely.
Do not, therefore., place the appliance
underneath a shelf and keep well away
from hot steam.
Before using for the fi rst time
Before making coff ee for the fi rst time, let
the appliance go through two or three cycles
using the indicated maximum amount of cold
water, but without using ground coff ee or a
paper fi lter. Th
is should also be done if the
appliance has not been used for an extended
period of time, and aft er descaling.
General information
A measuring scale on the glass carafe
–
facilitates fi lling the container with the
correct amount of clean water. Th
e scale
shows the amount of coff ee available aft er
brewing. Th
e scale refers to normal-sized
cups with a capacity of about 125 ml.
Make sure that the indicated maximum
amount of water is not exceeded.
If several consecutive brewing cycles are
z
required, switch off the coff ee maker aft er
each cycle and let it cool down for approx.
5 minutes.
Caution:
When fi lling the appliance with
fresh water shortly aft er a brewing cycle is
completed, there is a
danger of scalding
from hot water or steam escaping through
the water outlet.
Making coff ee
Filling with water:
–
Grip the recess on the water reservoir and
lift it out. Open the reservoir, fi ll it with the
required amount of fresh cold water and close
the lid. Replace the reservoir in the appliance
and push it down to open the valve in the
bottom of the reservoir.
You may also use the glass carafe to fi ll the
water reservoir.
Inserting the paper fi lter:
–
Pull out the fi lter holder by its handle and
insert a size
4
paper fi lter, fi rst folding down
its perforated sides.
Adding ground coff ee:
–
We recommend using fi nely ground fi lter
coff ee, approximately 6 g = 1½ - 2 tsp. per
medium-sized cup (125 ml). Take the fi lter by
its handle and replace it into the appliance.
Preparing the carafe:
–
Fit the aroma protection lid on the carafe,
and then place the carafe into the appliance.
Only if correctly inserted will the lid disable
the drip-stop mechanism in the fi lter holder
during the brewing cycle.
Starting the fi ltering process:
–
Plug in the appliance and use the On/Off
switch to turn the appliance on. Th
e fi ltration
cycle starts and the water passes through the
fi lter.
Note: While the water is passing through
the system, certain noises can be heard.
Th
is is perfectly normal and no sign of any
malfunction.
Removing the carafe:
–
Wait until all the water has passed through
the fi lter before the carafe is removed from
the appliance.
Switching the coff ee maker off :
–
Th
e coff ee may be kept warm inside the
carafe by leaving it standing on the hot-plate.
Th
e plate is kept warm until the appliance
is turned off using the On/Off switch. Aft er
the appliance has been switched off , it takes
several more minutes for the hot-plate to cool
down. Always switch off aft er use and remove
the plug from the wall socket.
Descaling
Like all thermal household appliances

using hot water, the coff ee maker needs
