Preparation

Caution

■ First time use: Run the appliance at least 4 times without adding coffee.
- Please follow the steps 1 - 2 and 7 - 12 in the "Brewing Coffee" section.

1 Remove all packaging and stickers and dispose of them according to applicable legal regulations.

2 Before using the appliance for the first time, clean all parts which come into contact with water carefully. Please see full details in the "Cleaning and Care" section.

3 Make sure that the appliance is placed in an upright position and on a stable, flat, clean, dry and non-slip surface.

Brewing Coffee

1 First remove the water tank F, then open the water tank cover A and use the glass jug J to fill the water tank F with the required amount of water, but do not fill past the "12" mark. The brewed amount of coffee will be 10% less than the filled water, because it is absorbed by the coffee grounds and the filter. The scale on the glass jug is marked in coffee cups, e.g. 4 = 4 cups. For a good coffee taste it is suggested to operate the appliance with at least 4 cups coffee serving.

Notes

■ Use only clean, cold and fresh drinking water.
There is a drip hole on the back of the water reservoir to prevent exceeding the capacity of the coffee maker. If you add too much water, it will drip out from the back of the appliance.

2 Close the water tank cover A and open the filter basket cover B

3 Pull out the filter basket c.

4 Take a suitable paper filter (1 x 4) and insert the paper filter into the filter basket ⓒ.

Note

■ Use only one paper filter at each time. Make sure that the paper filter does not bend or fold.
5 Fill the filter with the desired amount of ground coffee. To do this, you may use the supplied measuring spoon.
6 Insert the filter basket C back into the housing and close the filter basket cover B.
7 Place the glass jug J on the warming plate K.

Caution

If the filter basket C is not closed or the glass jug J is not placed accurately, the drip-stop function will not work properly. It could cause a hot water or hot coffee overflow.

8 Connect the plug to the wall socket.

9 Turn the appliance on by pushing the On/Off button H. - The On/Off button H illuminates and the brewing process begins.

Notes

■ The brewing process can be stopped at any time by pushing the On/Off button H again.
The appliance is equipped with a drip-stop I located underneath the filter basket C and enables you to briefly remove the glass jug J to pour coffee before the water has finished running through the machine.
■ Ventilation slots allow the steam output. Do not block the ventilation slots with any objects while the appliance is in use.
■ The coffee machine has a stay-warm function and can keep the brewed coffee warm for up to 30 minutes when the machine is switched on. In accordance with eco design guidelines, the machine will automatically switch itself off after this time.

Caution

■ Make sure to place the glass jug ☐ on the warming plate ☑ quickly (max. 30 seconds). Otherwise the brewed coffee from the filter could overflow. If you want to use the glass jug for more than 30 seconds switch off the appliance.
■ Never pull out the filter basket ☐ during the brewing process even if no water is draining from the filter. Extremely hot water or coffee can spill out from the filter basket and cause injury.
If water/coffee is not draining from the filter basket C after several seconds with the glass jug J properly in place K immediately unplug the appliance and wait 10 minutes before opening and checking the filter basket C.
- When the brewing process ends and the water level indicator (with 12 marking) E is empty, there will still be hot liquid in the filter basket C. Wait a few minutes for the rest of the liquid to drip into the glass jug J.
10 Remove the glass jug J from the warming plate K as soon as the brewing process has finished and the glass jug J is filled. The coffee is ready.
11 To turn the appliance off, push the On/Off button H.
12 Disconnect the appliance from the wall socket.

Notes

If you want to continue the brewing process, repeat the procedure from 1 to 12. Let the appliance cool down at least 15 minutes between each brewing process.
For a better aroma, use the aroma button which activates a unique brewing process that enhances the flavour and aroma of your coffee. To reach this rich flavour, the coffee maker advances through several continuous cycles. This special time-release process saturates grounds gradually to extract the best flavour and aroma.

Hints and Tips

■ Use softened or filtered water to prevent lime build-up.
■ Store unused coffee in a cool, dry place. After opening a package of coffee reseal it tightly to maintain its freshness.
- Do not reuse the coffee sediment in the filter since this will reduce the flavour.
■ Reheating coffee is not recommended as coffee is at its peak flavour immediately after brewing.

Caution

■ Never use petrol, solvents, abrasive cleaners or metal objects and hard brushes to clean the appliance.
■ Never put the appliance or power cord in water or any other liquid.
1 Turn the appliance off and disconnect it from the wall socket.

Note

• You can also use white vinegar and lemon acid instead of a commercially available descaler.
  3 Fill the water tank to the 12 marking and add the descaler. Mixing ratio: 4 parts water to 1 part descaler.
  4 Turn the appliance on and allow approximately one large cup to run through the appliance.
  5 Turn the appliance off.
  6 Let the mixture soak for about 15 minutes.
  7 Repeat steps 4 - 6.
  8 Now turn the appliance on and let the entire mixture run through.
  9 Fill the water tank with cold, fresh drinking water and run all the water through.
  10 Repeat step 9 four times.
  11 Now you may brew coffee again.
