3. Set up the device and connect it (see the "Set-Up and Connection" chapter).
4. Before you enjoy your first coffee, we recommend that you carry out a trial run without coffee powder to remove any possible production residues on the device and in the water system. To do this, follow the instructions in the "Handling and Operation" and "Preparation" chapters.

When the device is first used, production-related additives may cause a small amount of smoke and / or an odour to be produced. This is normal and not a device defect.

1. Repeat this process twice. Do not drink this water!
2. Clean the device and accessories (see the "Cleaning and Care" chapter).

Set-Up and Connection

PLEASE NOTE!

• Only connect the device to a plug socket that is properly installed. The plug socket must also be readily accessible after connection so that the connection to the mains can quickly be isolated. The mains voltage must match the technical data of the device.
• Lay the connecting cable in such a way that it does not become squashed or bent and does not come into contact with hot surfaces (also applies to the hot surfaces of the device!).
• Do not place the device below kitchen wall units or similar cupboards. The rising steam could cause damage to them!

I. Fully unwind the connecting cable.

Filling the Water Tank

1. Open the lid (I).
2. Pour the quantity of water required for the number of cups you want (maximum 8 cups) into the water tank (7).
3. Close the lid. You must hear and feel it engage.

All of the water in the water tank is always used.

Pouring In Coffee Powder

1. Open the lid (I).
2. Insert the filter holder into the filter compartment (2).
3. Insert the permanent filter or a filter paper (size 1 × 4 ) into the filter holder.
4. Add the quantity of coffee powder you want to the filter directly using the measuring spoon which is supplied with the device or another suitable spoon. We recommend one level spoonful for each 125ml cup.
5. Flip the lid shut. You must hear and feel it engage.

"Added Flavour" Function

If you like your coffee a little stronger, you can switch on the "Added Flavour" function. Note here that the flow time will be extended as a result.

Touch the field PROG (17) for approx. 3 seconds until ±b±b (14) is shown on the display (8).

The "Added Flavour" function remains selected and is used each time you make coffee until the PROG button is pressed again for approx. 3 seconds. then goes out on the display and the function is switched off.

Drip Stop

The device has a drip stop which prevents water from dripping out of the filter compartment (2) when the thermal jug (6) is removed from the device.

When the device is in operation, the filter compartment must be closed and the thermal jug with the lid placed on it must be placed beneath the filter compartment. The lid of the thermal jug pushes the drip stop upwards and the coffee can flow from the permanent filter through the lid into the thermal jug.

During the brewing process, the thermal jug must not be removed from the main unit for longer than 30 seconds as otherwise the permanent filter could overflow.

Preparation

PLEASE NOTE!

• The device should only be used if it has been correctly assembled! Before each use, check whether the filter holder and the permanent filter are inserted correctly and whether the water tank is filled correctly!
• Do not operate the device without water. If this does happen, the device switches off automatically. In this case, allow the device to cool down before water is poured in and the device is used again.
• Never use the device without a suitable jug below the coffee outlet.

I. Prepare the coffee machine (see the "Handling and Operation" chapter).

We recommend always making at least 4 cups of coffee as the brewing time when making just 2 cups, for example, is very short for making coffee with real flavour and this can have an adverse effect on how the coffee tastes.

1. If you wish, activate the "Added Flavour" function BEFORE starting the brewing process (see the "Handling and Operation" chapter - "Added Flavour Function").
2. Touch the ON/OFF field (10) to start the brewing process. The red operating lamp (12) appears on the display (8). Hot water is poured over the coffee powder to brew it.

The red operating lamp goes out after the end of the brewing process. The thermal jug (6) can then be removed.

To end the brewing process prematurely, touch the ON/OFF field again. The red operating lamp goes out and the brewing process is aborted.

Making Coffee with a Preset Time

To make coffee with a preset time, the clock needs to be set (see the "Handling and Operation" chapter - "Setting the Time").

I. Prepare the coffee machine (see the "Handling and Operation" chapter).
2. If you wish, activate the "Added Flavour" function BEFORE activating the timer (see the "Handling and Operation" chapter - "Added Flavour Function").
3. Touch the PROG field (17) twice. The display shows TIMER (16) and the preset time 12:00 (13).
4. Set the hours by turning the dial (3).
5. Wait until the minutes display flashes and set it by turning the dial.
6. Wait a few seconds or touch the PROG field again. The blue timer control lamp (15) lights up.

Once the preset time has been reached, the brewing process starts automatically. The blue control lamp goes out on the display and the red operating lamp (12) lights up. The red operating lamp goes out after the end of the brewing process.

Deactivating the Preset Time

To deactivate the preset time, touch the PROG field (17) once. The blue timer control lamp (15) goes out and the programming is deactivated. However, the preset time is retained and can be reactivated at any time until a new preset time is programmed in or the device has been disconnected from the power supply.

Cleaning and Care

PLEASE NOTE!

• Do not use any toxic, corrosive or abrasive cleaning agents or scouring sponges to clean the device. These may damage the surface.

• Empty the permanent filter or dispose of the filter paper and if necessary empty the thermal jug (6).

• Clean the permanent filter, the filter holder and the thermal jug after every use with a mild detergent and warm water, or in the dishwasher.
• Wipe down the inside and outside of the housing with a damp cloth. If necessary, use a little mild detergent to remove more intense soiling.
• Check the connecting cable regularly for any damage.

Cleaning the Thermal Jug Thoroughly

Coffee grounds and coffee oil residues can contaminate the thermal jug (6) over time. It should therefore be thoroughly cleaned regularly (at least every 4 weeks).

We recommend that you do this using BEEM Premium Cleaning Tablets. They will remove the residues quickly and easily. In addition, the cleaning tablets are gentle on the material and guarantee food-safe and environmentally friendly cleaning - ensuring an authentic coffee flavour. BEEM Premium Cleaning Tablets in a pack of 20 or 50 can be obtained from selected specialist stockists, directly via our website www.beem.de or from our customer service department on request.

Cleaning with the BEEM Premium Cleaning Tablets

I. Dissolve a cleaning tablet in water at 60 - 70^
2. Pour the solution into the thermal jug (6).
3. Move the thermal jug slowly in circular motions to ensure that the inside is wetted with the cleaning solution.
4. Allow the cleaning solution to take effect for a few minutes.
5. Empty the thermal jug and rinse it thoroughly several times with clear water.

The BEEM Cleaning Tablets do not have a descending effect!

Dscaling

Limescale deposits have an adverse effect not only on the quality of the coffee and the water, but they also cause power losses and shorten the lifespan of the device. The thicker a limescale layer is, the more difficult it is to remove.

We therefore recommend regularly removing limescale deposits with a descending agent in accordance with the water quality and how often the device is used (approx. every 2 - 6 weeks).

The first indications that descending is required are a large amount of steam being produced and slower brewing of the coffee.

For descending we recommend the BEEM Premium Descaler Concentrate. The efficient, food-safe and environmentally friendly BEEM Premium Descaler Concentrate is available from selected specialist stockists, via our website www.beem.de or from our customer service department on request.

Dscaling with the BEEM Premium Descaler Concentrate

I. Fill the water tank (7) up to the 8-cup marking with a concentrate/water solution of no more than 1:20 (one part concentrate to 20 parts water).
2. Place the thermal jug (6) under the coffee outlet (5).
3. Touch the ON/OFF field (10) to start the descaling process. The red operating lamp (12) appears on the display (8).
4. When the descending process is finished, empty the thermal jug and place it back under the coffee outlet.
5. To rinse the device, allow two tankfuls (8 cups) of clear water to run through it.
6. Thoroughly clean all accessories (see the "Cleaning and Care" chapter). The device is now descaled and ready to be used again.

Storage

Disconnect the device from the mains power when it is not going to be used for a prolonged period. Clean the device again if necessary (see the "Cleaning and Care" chapter) and let it dry completely.

Store the device and all accessories in a dry, clean, frost-free place that is protected from direct sunlight and cannot be accessed by children or animals.

Disposal

Dispose of the packaging material in an environmentally friendly manner so that it can be recycled.

This device is governed by the European Directive 2012/19/EU on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). Do not dispose of this device as normal domestic waste, but rather in an environmentally friendly manner via an officially approved waste disposal company.
