Important safety instructions

 Before the appliance is used, the main

body as well as any attachment  tted

should be checked thoroughly for any

defects. Should the appliance, for instance,

have been dropped onto a hard surface,

it must not be used any longer: even

invisible damage may have adverse e ects

on the operational safety of the appliance.

  e power cord should be regularly

examined for any signs of damage. In the

event of such damage being found, the

appliance must no longer be used.

 Do not operate the appliance if excessive

force has been used to pull the power

cord. Damage cannot always be detected

from the outside; the entire unit should

therefore be checked by a quali ed

technician before it is used again.

 During operation, the co ee maker must

be placed on a level, non-slip surface,

impervious to splashes and stains.

cord to touch hot surfaces or to come into

contact with any heat sources.

 Do not leave the appliance unattended

  e hot-plate becomes very hot during

 To prevent the danger of hot water or

steam being emitted, always switch o

the co ee maker and allow su cient time

for the appliance to cool down before it is

opened or any accessories or attachments

 Always remove the plug from the wall

- in case of any malfunction,

-a er use, and also

Before using for the  rst time

Before making co ee for the  rst time, let the

appliance go through two or three  ltration

cycles using the indicated maximum amount

of cold water, but without using ground

co ee.  is should also be done if the

appliance has not been used for an extended

period of time, and a er descaling.

– A measuring scale on the water container

and on the glass carafe facilitates  lling the

container with the correct amount of clean

water.  e le scale is used for regular-

sized cups of approx. 125 ml, while the

right scale is used for smaller cups. s. Make

sure that the indicated maximum amount

of water is not exceeded.

 If several consecutive brewing cycles are

required, switch o the co ee maker a er

each cycle and let the appliance cool down

for approx. 5 minutes.

 Important note: When  lling the

appliance with fresh water shortly a er

a brewing cycle is completed, there is

a danger of scalding from hot water or

steam escaping through the water outlet.

– Filling with water:

Open the cover and  ll the container with the

desired quantity of water.

– Inserting the paper  lter:

Insert a size-4 paper  lter into the  lter

holder,  rst folding down the perforated

sides of the  lter.

– Filling with ground co ee:

For each regular-sized cup (125ml), a

measure of about 6 g (= 1½ - 2 teaspoons)

of medium or  nely ground co ee will be

required. Close the cover a erwards.

– Preparing the glass carafe:

Fit the lid of the carafe, and then place the

carafe onto the hot-plate. If correctly inserted,

the lid will disable the drip-stop mechanism

in the  lter holder during the brewing cycle.

– Starting the brewing cycle:

Insert the plug into a suitable wall outlet and

use the On/O switch to switch the co ee

maker on.  e  ltration cycle starts and the

water passes through the  lter.

– Removing the glass carafe:

Wait until all the water has passed through

the  lter before the carafe is removed from

– Switching o the co ee maker:

 e co ee may be kept warm inside the

carafe by leaving it standing on the hot-plate.

 e plate is kept warm until the appliance is

switched o . Always switch o the appliance

 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

8the appliance malfunctions because of

insu cient descaling.

 A lengthening of the brewing time and

increased noise during brewing indicate

that descaling of the co ee maker has

 An excessive build-up of lime deposits

is very di cult 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 a er each thirty to forty

brewing cycles. For descaling, a vinegar

solution may be used as follows:

– Mix 2 tablespoons of vinegar with 250 ml

– Pour the descaling solution into the water

container, insert a paper  lter into the

 lter holder without adding any ground

co ee as described in section Making

co ee, and let the appliance run through

one  ltration cycle. Repeat the procedure

if necessary. During descaling, ensure

su cient ventilation and do not inhale

any vinegar vapours.

– To clean the appliance a er descaling, let

it run through 2-3  ltration cycles using

 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

immerse the co ee maker in water.  e

appliance may be cleaned with a slightly

damp cloth, using a mild detergent. Wipe

 Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning

– To remove the used ground co ee, open

the cover and remove the  lter holder.

Dispose of the paper  lter and the co ee

grounds (as a natural substance the co ee

grounds may be composted). Rinse out

the  lter holder, replace it and close the

warm water a er use. Wipe dry a erwards
