How to make drip coffee

Please note: the first time the appliance is used, all accessories and the internal circuits must be washed through by making at least two jugs of coffee without using pre-ground coffee.

• Open the door at the front by pulling the handle (E) and use the jug to pour clean cold water into the water fill compartment (F) up to the level indicated for the number of cups of coffee you want to make. Check the level of water in the tank through the level window (D) (fig. 3). You are recommended to use the jug provided as a measure as the maximum capacity of the jug and the tank are the same. Position the permanent filter (H) (if present) in the filter

holder (G) (fig. 4). In versions without permanent filter, use the paper filter (size 1x4). - Place the pre-ground coffee in the filter using the measure (C) provided and level evenly (fig. 5). See the table for recommended quantities. Use good quality, medium pre-ground coffee for drip coffee makers.

Recommended quantities:

No. small cups ☐	No. large cups ☐	No. measures (*)
15	10	10
12	8	8
9	6	6
6	4	4
3	2	2

(^*) 1 level measure = 1 tablespoon (5g)

The quantities given in the table are indicative and should be adapted to your personal taste and the type of coffee. Never exceed the maximum quantity of 10 measures. The type of blend has a considerable influence on the coffee you make. You should therefore try various types of coffee to find the one best suited to your taste.

• Models with glass jug (A): close the door at the front of the appliance and place the closed jug on the plate (fig. 6).
• Models with thermal jug (B): before placing the jug on the plate, make sure the lid is closed (fig. 7).
• Models with electronic controls: press the ON/AUTO/ button (O) (fig. 8). The red light indicates that the coffee maker is operating and "BREW" appears on the display. The appliance emits a beep when delivery begins, then three beeps when it ends. The taste of the coffee can be optimised by pressing the AROMA button (Q). This function enables a process of percolation which releases the water in the filter more slowly. Filtering a little at a time improves the flavour and aroma of the coffee. To enable the function, press the aroma button (the light on the button comes on). To disable the function, press the button again. You are recommended to use the AROMA button when you do not want to make a full jug of coffee.
• Models with switch: Press the button (J) (fig. 9). The light (K) indicates that the coffee maker is operating. Coffee delivery will start after a few seconds. It is completely normal for the appliance to give off steam while the coffee is percolating. The coffee maker emits a beep when delivery begins, then three beeps when it ends. The taste of

The coffee can be optimised by pressing the AROMA button (Q). This function enables a process of percolation which releases the water in the filter more slowly. Filtering a little at a time improves the flavour and aroma of the coffee. To enable the function, press the aroma button (the light on the button comes on). To disable the function, press the button again. You are recommended to use the AROMA button when you do not want to make a full jug of coffee.

• In models with glass jug: if you leave the button pressed after percolation has finished, the plate will keep the coffee at the ideal temperature. The appliance goes off automatically 40 minutes after coffee delivery ends.
• Models with thermal jug: to pour the coffee, turn the lid to the position shown in fig. 10. To remove the lid completely, turn the lid to the position shown in fig. 11. After percolation has ended, the appliance goes off automatically.

Please note: removing the jug before all the coffee requested has been delivered does not interrupt coffee making, but merely blocks flow into the jug. If you want to pour out a little coffee immediately, you should do so as rapidly as possible in order to avoid the coffee overflowing.

Programming auto-start (models with electronic controls only)

Check that the time is set correctly.

To programme when you want the appliance to make coffee:

• Press the SET TIMER button (P) and hold it down until the time you want the coffee maker to come on is reached.
