Preparation

Caution

• First time use: Run the appliance at least 4 times without adding coffee.
• Please follow the steps 1 and 6 - 11 in the "Brewing Coffee" section.
  1 Remove all packaging and stickers and dispose of them according to applicable legal regulations.
  2 Before using the appliance for the first time, clean all parts which come into contact with water carefully. Please see full details in the "Cleaning and Care" section.
  3 Make sure that the appliance is placed in an upright position and on a stable, flat, clean, dry and non-slip surface.

Brewing Coffee

1 Open the water tank / filter basket cover and fill in the water up to "max" level.

Notes

The scale on the thermo jug is marked in coffee cups, e.g. 4 = 4 cups. For good coffee taste it is suggested to operate the appliance with at least 4 cups coffee serving. The brewed amount of coffee will be 10% less than the filled water, because some water is absorbed by the coffee grounds and the filler.
■ Use only clean, cold and fresh drinking water.
There is a drip hole on the back of the water reservoir to prevent exceeding the capacity of the coffee maker. If you add too much water, it will drip out from the back of the unit.
2 Pull out the filter basket 1.
3 Take a suitable paper filter (1 x 4) and insert the paper filter into the filter basket 1.

Note

■ Use only one paper filter at each time. Make sure that the paper filter does not bend or fold.
4 Fill the filter with the desired amount of ground coffee. To do this, you may use the supplied measuring spoon J.
5 Insert the filter basket □ back into the housing and close the cover □.
6 Place the thermo jug F on the warming plate G.

Caution

If the filter basket 1 is not closed or the thermo jug F is not placed accurately, the drip-stop function will not work properly. It could cause hot water or hot coffee to overflow.
7 Connect the plug to the wall socket.
8 Turn the appliance on by pushing the On/Off button E.

- The On/Off button 📄 illuminates and the brewing process begins.

Notes

■ The brewing process can be stopped at any time by pushing the On/Off button E again.
The appliance is equipped with a drip-stop located underneath the filter basket I and enables you to briefly remove the thermo jug F to pour coffee before the water has finished running through the machine.
■ After your coffee is ready, the machine will be shut-off automatically, thermo jug will keep your coffee warm.

Caution

■ Make sure to place the thermo jug F on the plate G quickly (max. 30 seconds). Otherwise the brewed coffee from the filter could overflow. If you want to use the thermo jug for more than 30 seconds switch off the appliance.
■ Never pull out the filter basket 1 during the brewing process even if no water is draining from the filter. Extremely hot water or coffee can spill out from the filter basket and cause injury.

If water/coffee is not draining from the filter basket 1 after several seconds with the thermo jug F properly in place immediately unplug the unit and wait 10 minutes before opening and checking the filter basket 1.
When the brewing process ends and the water level indicator C is empty, there will still be hot liquid in the filter basket I. Wait a few minutes for the rest of the liquid to drip into the thermo jug F.
9 Remove the thermo jug F from the plate G as soon as the brewing process has finished and the thermo jug is filled. The coffee is ready.
10 To turn the appliance off, push the On/Off button E.
11 Disconnect the appliance from the wall socket.

Notes

If you want to continue the brewing process, repeat the procedure from 1 to 11. Let the appliance cool down at least 15 minutes between each brewing process.
For a better aroma, use aroma button D which activates a unique brewing process that enhances the flavor and aroma of your coffee. To reach this rich flavor, the coffee maker advances through several continuous cycles. This special time-release process saturates grounds gradually to extract the best flavor and aroma.

Hints and Tips

■ Use softened or filtered water to prevent lime scale build-up.
■ Store unused coffee in a cool, dry place. After opening a package of coffee reseal it tightly to maintain its freshness.
- Do not reuse the coffee sediment in the filter since this will reduce the flavor.
■ Reheating coffee is not recommended as coffee is at its peak flavour immediately after brewing.

Aroma button

Note

■ The device is equipped with a button to intensify the coffee aroma.

1 Press aroma button D
2 Press On/Off button E. On/Off button light will be turned on.
