Before first use

CAUTION - PROPERTY DAMAGE!

▶ Never fill more than 8 cups of water into the water tank ⑬ (MAX mark). A small hole is located on the back of the appliance. It is a water overflow ②, which prevents excessive amounts of water from being filled into the machine. If the water level exceeds the MAX mark, the water will escape through the water overflow ② onto the worktop. If the water tank ⑬ is full (8 cups of water) and the appliance is moved, water may spill through the water overflow ②. ▶ Never fill the water tank with less than 2 cups of water ⑬. Use the water level gauge ⑥ on the water tank ⑬.

1) Unscrew the lid ⑦ and remove it from the vacuum flask ⑧. 2) Carefully rinse the vacuum flask ⑧ with water. 3) Open the appliance lid ① and remove the filter holder ⑭ from the appliance.

4) Rinse the filter holder 14 and lid 7 of the vacuum flask 8 with clean water. Place the filter holder 14 back in the appliance. Screw the lid 7 back on the vacuum flask 8.

5) Fill the water tank ⑬ with water. To empty it again, carefully turn over the appliance over a sink and pour out the water. When you turn the appliance around again, water will escape from the appliance. Hold the appliance over the sink until no more water escapes. Then carefully dry the appliance.

6) Fill the water tank ⑬ with water up to the MAX mark.

7) Close the appliance lid ①.

8) Place the lid ⑦ back on the vacuum flask ⑧. Place the vacuum flask ⑧ in the appliance.

9) Press the ON/OFF button ⑩. The display ⑫ will read BREW and the red control lamp BREWING PROCESS ⑪ will light up. Wait until the brewing process finishes and you hear 6 acoustic signals.

10) Empty the vacuum flask ⑧ and rinse it with clean water again.

11) Wait until the appliance has cooled down, then rinse the filter holder ⑭ with clean water again.

The appliance is now ready for use.

Making coffee

Inserting ground coffee

1) Open the appliance lid ①. The filter holder ⑭ is already inserted.

2) Take a paper coffee filter (size 1 x 4) and fold its sides over. Insert the paper filter into the filter holder ⑭.

3) Use the measuring spoon to insert ground coffee into the filter.

NOTE

▶ Use approximately one flat measuring spoon of ground coffee for each cup of filter coffee. If the filter coffee is too strong, reduce the amount of ground coffee per cup.

Filling the appliance with water

⚠️ WARNING - HEALTH HAZARD!

▶ Only use drinking water for your coffee!

The appliance lid ① is still open after adding the ground coffee.

1) Use the vacuum flask ⑧ or another container to fill the water tank ⑬ with water. Fill enough water for your desired amount of coffee into the water tank ⑬. Use the water level gauge ⑥ on the water tank ⑬ for reference.

2) Place the vacuum flask ⑧ into the device, making sure that the vacuum flask lid ⑦ is shut tight.

CAUTION - PROPERTY DAMAGE!

▶ Never fill more than 8 cups of water into the water tank ⑬ (MAX mark). A small hole is located on the back of the appliance. It is a water overflow ②, which prevents excessive amounts of water from being filled into the machine. If the water level exceeds the MAX mark, the water will escape through the water overflow ② onto the worktop. If the water tank ⑬ is full (8 cups of water) and the appliance is moved, water may spill through the water overflow ②. ▶ Never fill the water tank with less than 2 cups of water ⑬. Use the water level gauge ⑥ on the water tank ⑬.

3) Close the appliance lid ①.

NOTE

▶ During the brewing process, the amount of water decreases: some evaporates, while the coffee grounds also retain some water. This is why the volume of coffee in the vacuum flask ⑧ will be slightly lower than the amount of water you filled into the water tank ⑬.

Initiating the brewing process

After you fill with the ground coffee and water:

WARNING - RISK OF INJURY!

▶ Never open the appliance lid ① while brewing is in progress! Bursts of hot steam may be released. Risk of scalding!

1) Press the AN/AUS button ⑩. The red control lamp BRÜHVORGANG ⑪ will light up and the display ⑫ will read BREW. The appliance will start brewing.

NOTE

Thanks to the anti-drip function of this appliance, you can remove the vacuum flask ⑧ and pour coffee even during the brewing process. Make sure to put the vacuum flask ⑧ back into the device within 30 seconds, however.

2) Once the coffee has run through the appliance completely and no more coffee is dripping into the vacuum flask ⑧, you will hear 6 acoustic signals. The red control lamp BRÜHVORGANG ⑪ goes out and BREW is no longer displayed.

NOTE

▶ You can use the AN/AUS button ⑩ at any time to stop the brewing process.

Pouring coffee

WARNING - RISK OF INJURY!

Following the brewing process, a small amount of hot coffee may have collected on the lid ⑦ of the vacuum flask ⑧. Carefully wipe the coffee with an absorbent tissue before removing the vacuum flask ⑧ from the appliance.

1) Remove the vacuum flask ⑧ from the appliance. 2) The lid ⑦ is shut tight, the arrow on the handle points at the 🔒 symbol. 3) To pour coffee, turn the lid ⑦ a half turn until the arrow on the handle points at the 🔍 symbol. You can now pour coffee without the lid ⑦ falling off. 4) Before placing the vacuum flask ⑧ back in the appliance, turn the lid ⑦ back until the arrow points at the 🔒 symbol again.

Timer function

You can set a scheduled time within a 24-hour period for the appliance to start brewing coffee.

NOTE

If you wish to use the timer function, ensure that the correct time has been set (see chapter "Setting the time").

1) Fill the appliance with ground coffee and water as described previously. 2) Press the AUTO/PROGRAMM button ④ twice. The display ⑫ will read PROG. 3) Repeatedly press the STD ⑨ and MIN ⑤ buttons to set the desired starting time (see chapter "Setting the time").

4) Press and hold the AUTO/PROGRAMM button ④ for approximately 3 seconds until the green control lamp AUTO ③ lights up. This light indicates that the timer is active and the appliance will initiate the brewing process at the set time.

NOTE

You can use the AN/AUS button 10 at any time to deactivate the timer.

As soon as the set time is reached, the brewing process begins. The green control lamp AUTO ③ goes out and the red control lamp BRÜHVORGANG ⑪ lights up. The display ⑫ will read BREW.

The filter holder 14 and measuring spoon can be cleaned in a dishwasher. Make sure that the parts do not get jammed in the dishwasher.

■ Wipe the appliance with a damp cloth. If required, use a mild washing-up liquid on the cloth. Ensure that there are no detergent residues on the appliance, and that the appliance is completely dry before using it again.

- Rinse the vacuum flask ⑧ with clean water. In case of stubborn dirt, add a mild detergent to the vacuum flask ⑧ and clean the inside with a scrub brush. Afterwards, rinse the appliance with plenty of clean water to remove all residual detergent.

Descaling the appliance

Descale the appliance at regular intervals.

NOTE

▶ Depending on the hardness of your water, the necessary descaling intervals may vary considerably. If your water is very hard, descaling is generally necessary after approximately 30 uses, while less hard water only requires you to descale your appliance after approximately 60 uses. Your local water supplier can tell you about the hardness of your water.

Only use descaling agents that are specifically suitable for coffee machines and take note of their usage instructions.

Proceed as follows to descale:

1) Fill the water tank ⑬ with the descaling agent. 2) Fill in the right amount of water as specified in the usage instructions for the descaling agent, but do not exceed the MAX mark (8 cups) on the water level gauge ⑥. 3) Press the AN/AUS button ⑩ to start the brewing process. The red control lamp BRÜHVORGANG ⑪ will light up and the display ⑫ will read BREW. 4) Wait until enough water for approximately 2 cups has run through the machine, then interrupt the brewing process by pressing the AN/AUS button ⑩ again. 5) Allow the descaling agent to take effect for 15 minutes. 6) Repeat steps 3 to 5 twice.

7) Then start the brewing process and wait until the water has run through completely. 8) Allow the coffee machine to brew three times with the maximum amount of clean water. Following three brewing cycles, all residues of the descaling agents are removed and you can use your coffee machine again.
