∙ In order to avoid hazards, repairs to this electrical appliance or its power cord must be carried out by our customer service. If repairs are needed, please send the appliance to our customer service department.

∙ Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is disconnected from the power supply and has cooled down 8

completely. For detailed information on cleaning the appliance, please refer to the section Cleaning and care.

∙ To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not clean the appliance with water and do not immerse it in water. ∙ This appliance is intended for domestic or similar applications, such as - in shops, offices and other similar working environments, - in agricultural working environments, - by customers in hotels, motels etc. and similar establishments, - in bed-and breakfast type environments. ∙ This appliance may be used by children (at least 8 years of age) and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lacking experience and knowledge, provided they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance and fully understand all dangers and safety precautions involved.

∙ Children must not be permitted to play with the appliance.

∙ Children must not be permitted to carry out any cleaning or maintenance work on the appliance unless they are supervised and at least 8 years of age. ∙ The appliance and its power cord must be kept well away from children under 8 at all times.

∙ Caution: Keep any packaging materials well away from children – these are a potential source of danger, e.g. of suffocation.

∙ Every time the appliance is used, the main body including the power cord as well as any attachment fitted should be checked thoroughly for any defects. Should the appliance, for instance, have been dropped onto a hard surface, or if excessive force has been used to pull the power cord, it must no longer be used: even invisible damage may have adverse ef-fects on the operational safety of the appliance. ∙ Before use, make sure that the handle of the glass carafe is properly and securely fitted. If necessary, the metal ring may be tightened by means of the screw in the handle. ∙ During operation, the coffee maker must be placed on a level, non-slip surface, impervious to splashes and stains. ∙ Do not leave the appliance unattended while in use. ∙ Do not allow the appliance or its power cord to touch hot surfaces or to come into

contact with any heat sources.

∙ Caution: the hot-plate becomes very hot during operation. ∙ To prevent the danger of hot water or steam being emitted, always switch off the coffee maker and allow sufficient time for the appliance to cool down before it is opened or any accessories or attachments are removed. ∙ Always switch off the appliance after use. ∙ Remove the plug from the wall socket - in case of any malfunction, - during cleaning, - if the appliance is not being used for an extended period of time. ∙ When removing the plug from the wall socket, never pull on the power cord; always grip the plug itself. ∙ Do not allow the power cord to hang free; the cord must be kept well away from hot parts of the appliance. ∙ No responsibility will be accepted if damage results from improper use, or if these instructions are not complied with. Before using for the first time Before making coffee for the first time, let the appliance go through two or three filtration cycles using the indicated maximum amount of cold water, but without using ground coffee. This should also be done if the appliance has not been used for an extended period of time, and after descaling. General information ∙ A measuring scale on the water container and on the glass carafe facilitates filling the container with the correct amount of clean water. With a dual-scale, the left scale is used for regular-sized cups of approx.125ml, while the right scale is 9

used for smaller cups. Make sure that the indicated maximum amount of water is not exceeded.

∙ If several consecutive brewing cycles are required, switch off the coffee maker after each cycle and let the appliance cool down for approx. 5 minutes. ∙ Important note: When filling the appliance with fresh water shortly after a brewing cycle is completed, there is a danger of scalding from hot water or steam escaping through the water outlet. Making coffee ∙ Filling with water: Open the water container lid, fill the container with the desired quantity of water and replace the lid. ∙ Inserting the paper filter: Open the swing-out filter sideways and insert a size-4 paper filter into the filter holder, first folding down the perforated sides of the filter. ∙ Filling with ground coffee: For each regular-sized cup (125ml), a measure of about 6 g (= 1½ - 2 tea-spoons) of medium or finely ground coffee will be required. Close the swing-out filter afterwards. ∙ Preparing the glass carafe: Fit the lid onto the carafe, and then place the carafe into the appliance. If cor-rectly inserted, the lid will disable the drip-stop mechanism in the filter holder during the brewing cycle. ∙ Starting the brewing cycle: Insert the plug into a suitable wall outlet and use the On/Off switch to switch the coffee maker on. The filtration cycle starts and the water passes through the filter. ∙ Removing the glass carafe: Wait until all the water has passed through 10

the filter before the carafe is removed from the appliance.

∙ Switching off the coffee maker: The coffee may be kept warm inside the carafe by leaving it standing on the hot-plate. The plate is kept warm until the appliance is switched off. Always switch off the appliance after use and remove the plug from the wall socket. Descaling ∙ Depending on the water quality (lime content) in your area as well as the frequency of use, all thermal household appliances using hot water need descaling (i.e. removal of lime deposits) on a regular basis to warrant proper functioning. ∙ Any warranty claim will be null and void if the appliance malfunctions because of insufficient descaling. ∙ A lengthening of the brewing time and increased noise during brewing indicate that descaling of the coffee maker has become necessary. ∙ An excessive build-up of lime deposits is very difficult to remove, even when strong descaling agents are used. It may also cause the brewing system to leak. We therefore strongly recommend descaling the appliance after each thirty to forty brewing cycles. For descaling, a vinegar solution may be used as follows: ∙ Mix 80 ml of vinegar essence with the indicated maximum amount of cold water. ∙ Pour the descaling solution into the water container, insert a paper filter into the filter holder without adding any ground coffee as described in section Making coffee, and let the appliance

run through one filtration cycle. Repeat the procedure if necessary. During descaling, ensure sufficient ventilation and do not inhale any vinegar vapours.

∙ To clean the appliance after descaling, let it run through 2-3 filtration cycles using clean water only. ∙ Do not pour descalers down enamel sinks. Cleaning and care ∙ Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is disconnected from the power supply and has cooled down completely. ∙ To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not clean the appliance with water and do not immerse it in water. The appliance may be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth, using a mild detergent. Wipe dry afterwards. ∙ Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions. ∙ To remove the used ground coffee, open the swing-out filter and lift out the filter insert. Dispose of the paper filter and the coffee grounds (as a natural substance the coffee grounds may be composted). Rinse out the filter insert before it is replaced. Close the swing-out filter. ∙ The swing-out filter may be removed for cleaning as well. Remove the water container lid first. ∙ The glass carafe may be cleaned with warm water after use. Wipe dry afterwards ∙ Both glass carafe and lid are dish-washer safe.
