A. Using the coffee maker

• Open the reservoir lid and fill the reservoir with fresh, cold water up to the level corresponding to the desired number of cups of coffee. Do not exceed the maximum level of the reservoir.
• Open the basket support, place the paper filter in the filter basket.
• Corresponding to your taste, put suitable coffee powder on the paper filter by spoon.
  We suggest one level tablespoonful of coffee per cup of coffee. Once you have used the coffeemaker several times, you will be able to adjust the amount of coffee according to your taste.
• Close the reservoir lid.
• Place the jug with its lid duly in place, onto the hot plate. The jug will open the anti-drip valve when placed correctly onto the plate; otherwise the filtered coffee will not pass into the jug and the filter may overflow.
• Plug the appliance in and turn the coffee maker on by pressing the on/off switch. The indicator light will come on. The water will begin to filter through the coffee maker, pouring the coffee into the jug.
• Once the coffee is ready, the hot plate will keep the coffee hot for two hours. If there is no need to preserve heat, press ON/OFF button and the unit will stop working.
  Unplug the coffee maker.

The coffee maker is fitted with an anti-drip system; this prevents the coffee from dripping onto the plate when the jug is not properly in place.

B. Tips for a good coffee

To give the coffee a better flavour and aroma, we advise you to use freshly ground coffee. Medium-ground coffee should be used; it should not be too finely ground. Store the coffee in a dry place. Once the packet of coffee has been opened, it can be kept well-sealed in the refrigerator in order to maintain its aroma. This coffee maker will keep the coffee hot by means of the hot plate, but for best results, drink the coffee as soon as it has been made.

4/ CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

A. Cleaning the coffee maker

Before cleaning the coffee maker, turn it off, unplug the coffee maker and wait for it to cool down.

• Clean the hot plate with a cloth which has been moistened with soapy water.
• Wash the filter holder, the jug and the jug lid in soapy water or in the dishwasher, rinse well and dry the parts before reassembling them.

To remove stains from the jug, rub with bicarbonate of soda or a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, fill the jug with hot water; add 2 spoonfuls of dishwasher detergent and leave to soak for several hours.

• Do not use detergents or abrasive products to clean the coffee maker.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water or in any other liquid.

B. Descaling the coffee maker

Depending on how hard the water is in your area and how often you use the coffee maker, it is possible that the pipes may become blocked due to the lime content of the water. This is noticeable when the filtering process lasts longer than usual. To descale your appliance:

• Fill the reservoir with 1/3 of vinegar and 2/3 of water.
• Plug on and turn on the appliance.
• After 30 seconds turn off the coffee maker using the ON/OFF button.
• Wait for 30 minutes and then turn on the appliance.
• Let the appliance processing normally and turn off the appliance.
• Repeat the process 2 or 3 times according to the degree of lime.
• After decaling the appliance, use it only with water 2 or 3 times in order to eliminate residue of vinegar.

The frequency depends on different type of water you are using:

• Soft water: every 6 months
• Medium water: every 2/3 months
• Hard water: every 6 to 8 weeks
