Congratulations on your purchase of this excellent SEVERIN coffee maker. Decades of experience as well as our most modern production facilities guarantee the high quality standard of our products. With this machine, SEVERIN presents a new generation of coffee makers: Vapotronic brewing system ... the coffee tastes as if hand-brewed functional design ... the coffee maker is easy to operate The Vapotronic brewing system allows to make excellent rich-flavoured coffee as the maximum amount of flavour is extracted from the coffee grounds – real coffee for the connoisseur.

Connection to mains supply

Connect only to perfectly installed and earthed sockets. Make sure that the supply voltage is the same as the voltage marked on the rating label of the machine. This product complies with the directives which are binding for the CE-labelling.

And this is how the Vapotronic-brewing system works:

A 1400 watt element heats the water up to the perfect brewing temperature. Once the perfect brewing temperature has been reached the valve opens and the brewing cycle begins. The remaining water is brought to the boil and the arising steam leads the water reservoir element to switch off automatically. The hot water flows in one jet onto the coffee powder, which ensures that the maximum amount of flavour is extracted from the grounds. The self-regulating element of the hotplate guarantees that the coffee is kept warm with almost no loss of flavour. Thus your coffee maker does not only convince through its modern design but also through its technical features. Please read the instruction booklet carefully before using your coffee maker for the first time. Contribution to environmental preservation:

● The hotplate (10) and the water reservoir (4) get very hot while the machine is in use. ● Ensure that the mains lead does not touch the hotplate (10). ● Never leave the machine unattended. ● This appliance is not intended for use by any person (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lacking experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. ● Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. ● Never place the coffee maker nor its mains lead on or adjacent to hot surfaces such as the hot plates of an electric stove or near a hot gas flame. 8

● Unplug the machine from the mains

- Place a paper filter (size 1 x 4) into the plastic filter and add fine ground coffee: We recommend using - approx. 6g=2 tsp. for a medium sized coffee cup and - approx. 4g=1 1/ 2. for a smaller sized coffee cup. The amount of coffee used may be altered to taste. - Replace the filter lid (5) back onto the filter holder (6) and swing back the filter holder. - Open the water reservoir lid (3) and fill the reservoir (4) with the required amount of cold water. The minimum quantity of water used should be for two medium-sized coffee cups (illustration II). - The water level marks inside the water reservoir help you to measure the amount of water needed for the number of cups of coffee you wish to prepare: - water level marks on the left-hand side: medium-sized coffee cups (approx. 125 ml) - water level marks on the right-hand side: smaller sized coffee cups. ● Be careful not to exceed the maximum water level of 8 medium-sized cups as otherwise boiling water may be ejected and cause burns. - Close the water reservoir lid (3). This is important as the “Vapotronic“-system can only operate while the lid is closed. - Place the glass jug (9) with its lid (8) on top of it onto the hotplate (10). The jug lid opens the non-drip valve of the filter holder (illustration III). - Switch the hotplate (10) on by turning the on/off switch (1) to ON-position. Alternatively you can leave the hotplate switched off during the filtering process and switch it on only after the filtering process is complete. This affects the coffee temperature. - Switch on the water reservoir element

- in the event that it malfunctions during use, - when it is not in use, - before cleaning. Do not operate the coffee maker with a damaged mains lead or after it has been damaged in any manner. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. Repairs of electrical appliances should only be performed by skilled personnel as safety precautions have to be observed. Improper repairs can result in considerable hazards for the user. Should your coffee maker require repair, please contact the nearest authorized Severin service centre. Addresses are detailed in this booklet. This coffee maker has been designed for domestic use only and not for commercial applications. In case the coffee maker is misused or operated in any manner other than described in these instructions for use, no liability will be undertaken for possible damage.

● First clean your coffee maker by operating it twice or three times with approx. 6 cups of fresh cold water but without using ground coffee. ● The Vapotronic-system will automatically switch off the water reservoir element. It cannot be switched off manually. How to make filter coffee - When making smaller quantities of coffee, it is better to place the glass jug on the hotplate and then switch it on. In that way, the freshly brewed coffee will be delivered into the pre-heated jug. - Open the pivoted filter holder (6) and take off the filter holder lid (5) 9

by depressing switch (2) (illustration

IV). The pilot light on the right-hand side will illuminate. The water in the reservoir is now brought to the boil. With the water reservoir filled to its maximum capacity, it will take about 5 minutes to heat the water. Once the perfect brewing temperature has been reached the valve inside the water reservoir opens and the brewing cycle begins. The water reservoir element will switch off automatically and the pilot light on the right-hand side will go out. The water starts to flow through the filter holder into the glass jug (9). The filtering process is complete when the total amount of water has passed through and no water is left in the filter holder. When removing the glass jug (9) from the machine once the filtering process is complete, the non-drip valve of the filter holder will close and prevent coffee from dripping onto the hotplate of the machine. We recommend you to stir the coffee before serving. To keep remaining coffee hot, replace the glass jug (9) back onto the hotplate (10). The hotplate (10) will keep the coffee hot as long as you leave it switched on. The plastic filter can be removed for cleaning (illustration V). This coffee maker has been designed for domestic use only. Should you wish to start several brewing cycles one after the other, allow the machine to cool down for at least 5 minutes with the reservoir lid open before re-using it. Use cold water only to refill the water reservoir.

The cable storage space serves for storing the cable and for the limitation of its length (illustration VI). Cleaning and care ● Before cleaning your coffee maker, always make sure that the plug has been removed from the mains supply socket. For safety reasons the coffee maker should not be treated with water or liquids and should never be immersed. - Wipe the body of the machine with a clean damp cloth and dry afterwards. To prevent the valve of the water reservoir from getting clogged, use a non-fluffy cloth to clean the water reservoir and the glass jug. - The glass jug (9), its lid (8), the filter lid (5) and the plastic filter (6) are dishwasher safe. - Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners. Descaling In order to maintain the excellent quality of your coffee maker, we recommend you to descale the machine at regular intervals. Descaling is needed when - the brewing cycle takes longer than normal, - there is build-up of deposits inside the water reservoir or on the valve unity, - the valve of the water reservoir has become leaky. For descaling we recommend using a mixture of min. 0.25 litre of water and 2 tablespoonful of vinegar. - Place a paper filter into the plastic filter (without using ground coffee). - Fill the cold descaling mixture into the water reservoir (4). - Switch on the machine and allow it to complete the brewing cycle. To clean the machine after descaling operate it twice or three times with fresh cold

Warning! Remember that the water reservoir and the reservoir lid are still hot after the brewing cycle has been completed and hot steam may escape from the reservoir when opening the lid (danger of

descale the water reservoir (see section

water only (without using ground coffee).

- Never pour the descaler into an enamelled sink and do not use it a second time.

In case descaling does not help to eliminate the malfunction, check whether the valve of the reservoir is clogged (e. g. through coffee grounds, fluff). Only in this case the valve unit should be removed for cleaning. To clean it proceeds as follows:

Turn the complete valve unit anticlockwise and lift it out of the reservoir. Do not point the valve unit at any person as it is under tension. Clean the valve unit and the water outlet opening thoroughly. After cleaning, re-insert the valve unit and fasten it, turning clockwise.

Do not dispose of old or defective appliances in domestic garbage; this should only be done through public collection points.
