■ Clean the coffee machine with a damp sponge or cloth. (Fig. 2)
■ Run your machine for the first time without coffee, i.e. by just adding water to the tank (B) up to the maximum level indicated.

BREWING COFFEE

1. Place the machine on a solid, flat surface. Connect the appliance to a 120 V\~ electrical outlet. (Fig. 3)
2. Fill the water tank with cold water to desired water level (Max 60fl oz). (Fig. 4-6)

Note: Do not exceed the Max line (60fl oz) when brewing into coffee pot. Doing so could cause coffee maker to overflow.

1. Place the coffee pot (J) with its lid on the warming plate (G). CAUTION: Make sure the coffee pot is correctly placed on the warming plate before starting the brew cycle. If the coffee pot is not correctly positioned on the warming plate, hot water or coffee could overflow from the appliance.

2. Place filter holder (E) correctly in the coffee machine, then put permanent filter (D) in the correct position. (Fig. 7-8)

3. Add the desired amount of ground coffee directly into the filter, then close the top cover (A). The amount of coffee to use will vary depending on the desired strength and taste. (Fig. 9)

4. Press the START/PAUSE button (O); an LED light will come on. The appliance will start the brew cycle and coffee will pass through the flavortube (I), providing a balanced coffee in each cup. (Fig. 10) During the brew cycle, only the START/PAUSE button (O) will work.
5. The cycle can be interrupted at any time by pressing the START/PAUSE button (O); the LED will turn off.
6. When the brew cycle has finished, the unit will beep. Wait a few minutes for the rest of the coffee to finish dripping into the coffee pot (J) before removing it. (Fig. 11)
7. The coffee maker automatically goes to Keep Warm function after the brew cycle and the "Time since brew" display will appear on the LCD screen. Default keep warm time is 2 hours after coffee brewing has finished. The keep-warm time can be adjusted, see "Setting the Keep Warm Time" section (p. 17) for more information.

Note: You can end the keep warm time any time by pressing the "START/PAUSE" button (O). The LED light and the appliance will turn off. Wait a few minutes before making a second pot of coffee.

■ Use a soft sponge or cloth moistened with vinegar to remove stubborn stains.

■ Never immerse the appliance in water or clean it under a running tap.

■ Any other type of maintenance must be carried out by our authorized service center staff.

USEFUL INFORMATION AND TIPS

Only the coffee pot (J), its lid (H) and the removable filter holder can be cleaned in a dishwasher. The other parts of the machine are not suitable for dishwashers.

DESCALING THE APPLIANCE

For your machine to work optimally over time, you will need to remove mineral deposits left by the water used. How often they should be removed will depend on the quality of water supplied to your area and how often you use your machine. You can use whichever of the following methods is most practical for you:

A. Using a commercially available descaling product. Prepare the descaling solution as per the instructions provided with the product. Next, add the solution to the water tank (B) and run a brew cycle but do not add ground coffee to the filter. Once the equivalent of a cup has dripped into the pot, switch off the appliance and wait 15 minutes. Switch the appliance on again and complete the brew cycle until the descaling solution previously added to the tank has run out. Repeat if necessary. B. Using a white vinegar and water solution. The ratio should be 1 part vinegar diluted in 3 parts water. Carry out a brew cycle as described above until the yellow liquid is no longer dripping. Once the descaling process is complete, use tap water to rinse the coffee machine several times until the smell of vinegar or descaling product disappears.

If the build-up of limescale or mineral deposits is excessive, the appliance will show the following symptoms:

1. The brew cycle takes too long. If there is an excessive accumulation of mineral deposits, the drip rate becomes slower, therefore the cycle takes longer to complete.
2. The drip function switches on and off constantly before the end of the brew cycle.

If you notice any of the above symptoms, use the regular brew cycle to descale the unit using suggested method A or B.

1. The "Clean" icon on the LCD screen flashes to indicate that the appliance needs cleaning. To descale the appliance, use the suggested method A or B and the cleaning function by holding down the "HOUR" (L) and "MIN" (M) buttons, and then press the START/PAUSE button (O) to start the cleaning cycle.

Think of the environment!

iYour appliance contains valuable materials that can be recycled.
Leave it at a local civic waste collection point where it will be disposed of properly.
