General information – Fill water tank 1 with clean, cold water only. Never add milk or beverages such as tea or coffee since this will damage the appliance. – Never exceed the „10 À “ marking when you ill the tank 1 with water. – Use coffee with a medium grind (approx. 6 g per cup = level measuring spoon 13). – Do not brew less than the minimum amount of three cups since the coffee will not have the desired strength and temperature (1 cup = approx. 125 ml). – Never remove the glass carafe 6 while the machine is brewing coffee since this may cause the ilter holder 4 to overlow. – Make sure that glass carafe’s lid is closed when you place the carafe 6 on the coffee machine. – Do not use other carafes since the special drip protector will block the coffee from lowing into the receptacle.
