Old appliance Before using the appliance for the first time, clean it by running water through it once or twice without using paper filter and coffee. Making coffee 0 Press the button to unlock the water tank (Figure 1/D). The water tank (Figure 1/E) will jump out slightly (Figure 3). 0 Pull the water tank out of the appliance. 0 Fill the water tank with fresh cold water.

Fill the water tank only with fresh cold water. Never fill the water tank with mineral water, distilled water, milk, ready made coffee, tea etc.

There is a gauge for 2-10 large or 4-15 small cups on the water tank. The markings apply to the amount of fresh water. The quantity of coffee produced is lower as the ground coffee absorbs water. Refit the water tank, ensuring it fits in the guide on the appliance (Figure 4). Press water tank in until it locks. Press the button to unlock the filter holder (Figure 1/A). The filter holder (Figure 1/B) will jump out slightly (Figure 5). Pull the filter holder out of the appliance. Insert paper filter. Insert a size 1x4 paper filter in the filter holder. Please fold the perforated edges before doing this. Fill with ground coffee. Please use ground coffee, medium grind. The quantity of coffee is matter of personal taste. For an average strong coffee one measuring spoon (approx. 6-7 g) is sufficient per cup. Refit the filter holder, ensuring it fits in the guide on the appliance (Figure 6). Press filter holder in until it locks. Place thermal jug (Figure 1/C) with closed lid (Figure 7/b) in the appliance. Switch on the appliance with the ON/OFF button (figure 1/G). The indicator lamp lights up. After a few seconds, hot water flows into the filter. When the flow ends, switch off the appliance at the ON/OFF button (Figure 1/G). The indicator lamp goes out. About 1 minute after end of flowing the appliance switches off automatically. 0 Remove the thermal jug.

Whilst boiling, the jug must not be removed for longer than 30 seconds or the filter will overflow. Once the jug has been removed, the filter valve prevents coffee from dripping. 0 To pour, turn the lid of the thermal jug so that the marking on the lid is aligned over the spout (Figure 7/a).

To guarantee uniform coffee strength it should be stirred in the jug after preparation.

If the water has stopped flowing and you wish to refill with water for a fresh jug of coffee, switch the appliance off and allow it to cool down for a few minutes. Aroma setting The aroma setting guarantees full coffee enjoyment even with small quantities (2-4 large cups or 3-6 small cups). 0 Switch on the appliance with the ON/OFF button (figure 1/G). 0 Switch on the aroma setting with the button (Figure 1/H). With aroma setting switched on, the indicator lamp lights. Cleaning and Care Unplug the power cord from the mains socket before cleaning. 0 To clean, unlock filter holder with the button (Figure 1/A) and remove (Figures 5 und 6). To clean the filter valve thoroughly, activate it several times whilst it is being rinsed. 0 To take the lid from the thermal jug, turn the lid so that the marking on the lid is placed as shown in Figure 8. 0 Clean the appliance with a damp cloth but never immerse it in water!

Descaling - making your coffee maker last longer As a precautionary measure, we recommend descaling every three months. Only use an environmentally friendly descaler and follow the instructions on the packet. Please do not use a descaler with a formic base, or any descaler in powder form. Fill the water tank with water and only then add the descaler. Not vice versa! 0 Place thermal jug (Figure 1/C) with closed lid (Figure 7/b) in the appliance. 0 Allow the descaler to act for about 15 minutes, then switch the appliance on. Switch it off when the descaler solution has finished flowing through. Thermal jug You can purchase a new thermal jug from your sales dealer or the service centre specifying the model of your coffee maker, see rating plate (figure 1/J). Technical data Mains voltage: Power consumption:

If necessary repeat the descaling process. 0 Following this, allow the appliance to run at least twice with fresh water. 0 Thoroughly rinse the water tank, thermal jug, lid and filter holder under running water, activate the filter valve repeatedly during the rinsing process.
