Putting into operation

Before first use and after the appliance has not been used for a long time operate the appliance with maximum water content and without coffee. Then rinse the filter and the jug with hot water.

Preparing coffee

Fill in cold water into the water container. The water level indication indicates the number of brewed cups with 125ml of coffee each.

Coffee filter

Swing filter out toward the front when filling in the ground coffee.

The permanent filter insert makes it possible to brew coffee without paper filters.

The permanent filter insert must be removed when brewing with a paper filter. Insert a paper filter, size 4 (1 x 4) into the filter, however, fold over the perforated edge first. The filter bag may not project over the edge of the filter; it must therefore be pressed on lightly by hand.

Fill in the required quantity of ground coffee. A level measuring spoon contains approximately 6 grams. Approximately 5 to 7 grams of medium fine ground coffee is calculated per cup, depending on personal taste. If it is ground too fine, it may obstruct the drainage from the filter and result in overflowing.

After the filter is snapped in again, activate the switch. The brewing process begins when the indicator light is illuminated. The pot can be removed after the end of the filtration. The drip stop prevents that residual coffee drips from the filter.

The finished coffee is automatically kept at serving temperature in the glass carafe on the heating plate until the appliance is switched off.

It must be noted that the coffee looses flavor when kept warm too long.

Used filter bags and coffee powder are biodegradable.

Cleaning and maintenance

Disconnect the appliance from the socket and let the coffeemaker cool down. Never immerse the appliance in water. Use a damp cloth with washing-up liquid and rub dry afterwards.

Do not use abrasive or scouring agents.

The glass jug can be cleaned under running water or in a dishwasher.

Dscaling

Like other hot water appliances the coffee maker has to be descaled periodically. A considerable longer brewing time and a higher noise level are an indication that the appliance needs to be descaled.

The following indications are guidelines which refer to a daily use in the household.

Hardness Hardness Descaling degree intervals
1 water with 0-7° low descale a year calcium content	dH twice
2 water with >7-14° DH four times medium descale calcium content	a year
3 water with >14-21° dH every 6 high descale weeks calcium content
4 water with >21° dH monthly very high descale calcium content

1^ corresponds to aprox. 0.18 mmol/ Ca and MG lons

You can ask for the degree of hardness in your residential area at the responsible waterworks or the local administration.

Use a conventional decalcification agent according to the instructions by the manufacturer.

Fill the fresh water tank to the maximum number of cups with decalcification solution. We recommend the use of durgol® express. This is highly efficient and yet gentle. Fill 2

durgol® express into the fresh water tank and dilute with the same amount of tap water.

Insert the permanent filter and place the carafe into the machine. After always a minute during the filtration, switch off the appliance for a few minutes; the decalcifying agent will be most effective by this method.

Repeat the process each time with fresh decalcifying agent until the disturbing noise is eliminated. Never fill hot decalcifying solution into the appliance.

Caution! Filter a maximum fresh water fill-up through after decalcifying. Warranty compensation does not exist for damages that occur due to non-compliance.

Attention: After descending it is necessary to operate the appliance with a full container of water as done before

the first use.

Damages caused by the non-observance of these instructions are not covered by the guarantee.

The appliance complies with the European directives 2006/95/EC and 89/336/EEC.

At the end of its lifetime this product must not be disposed of through the normal domestic waste, but it should be handed to an assembly

point for the recycling of electrical and electronic appliances. You can inquire about details at the local administration.
