• Do not switch on the appliance without water. Do not fill the fresh water reservoir with more cold water than for the maximum number of cups.
• Do not fill water into the automatic coffee maker while the appliance is switched on or still hot. Switch off the automatic coffee maker first and let it cool down for five minutes.

• Caution. The appliance becomes very hot. Risk of scalding due to emerging steam. Never swing out the filter or open the cover while brewing is in progress.

• This appliance is not intended to be used by persons (including children) with limited physical, sensory or intellectual faculties or who lack experience and/or knowledge, unless they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety or have received instructions on how to use the appliance.

In these cases, have the appliance repaired.

■ The appliance must be decalcified regularly.
- Never immerse the appliance in water.
- We will not accept any liability for damages resulting from misuse, non-compliance with the decalcification instructions, or unqualified repairs. Also, guarantee services are excluded in such cases.
- If the power cable of the appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer's authorised service agent or a qualified technician. Incorrect repairs may result in considerable hazards for the user.

Information about the thermos pot

The pot is designed as a serving pot which keeps the contents hot and it works best when filled to the limit. The heat retention action is greatly reduced when small amounts are left in the pot or when the pot is only partly filled. It works best if the pot is rinsed out with hot water before use.

The lid is not fully sealed due to the brew-through design so that it can also be opened easily when the coffee has cooled down. Do not apply too much force when screwing on the lid. Keep the pot upright whenever in use.

Turn the lid anticlockwise to open until the arrow on the lid is lined up over the spout.

The double-thickness stainless steel container is unbreakable. Nevertheless, it should be treated with care.

Rinse the pot out regularly. Iron particles from the water may cause localised corrosion on the stainless steel surface. Remove these deposits immediately with a cleaning agent for stainless steel.

Start-up

Prior to initial use or when the automatic coffee maker has not been operated over a long period, fill the appliance with 9 cups of water but without coffee powder, let the water boil and finally rinse the filter and pot with hot water.

Automatic switch-off

The machine has an automatic switch-off function to ensure that it does not overheat when switched on. The machine only switches off when all the water has run out.

The machine can be switched off before by pressing the ON/OFF switch. This might be necessary if you have accidentally switched the machine on without adding any water. Do not pour water into the machine while it is still hot. Allow the machine to cool down for a few minutes before adding water.

Brewing coffee

Open the cover on the appliance and pour cold water into the reservoir. The water level indicator on the reservoir shows the quantity of fresh water required to brew the desired number of cups of fresh coffee.

Note: If you have accidentally filled in too much water, you can pour it out through the rear overflow outlet. Do not tilt the appliance forward to empty the reservoir.

To fill in coffee powder open the swing-out filter by pressing the OPEN button. Fold a paper filter size 1 x 4 along the fold lines and place it into the filter. The paper filter is not allowed to stick out beyond the rim of the filter and must therefore be pressed slightly into place by hand.

Fill in the required quantity of coffee powder. Depending on your personal taste, use approximately 5 to 7 grams of medium ground coffee per cup. If the coffee powder is ground too finely, the filter may overflow.

Push the thermos pot under the filter with its brew-through lid closed. Connect the power plug to a shockproof socket and press the ON/OFF button.

The indicator light indicates the starting oft he brewing process. After completion of the brewing process that appliance switches off automatically and the indicator light goes out. Wait for a few minutes until all the coffee has run into the pot. After removing the pot the drip-stop in the filter prevents coffee from dripping.

Before brewing more coffee the appliance should be left to cool down for a few minutes.

Cleaning

Disconnect the power plug and leave the appliance to cool down. Never immerse the appliance in water; simply wipe the exterior using a damp cloth with a drop of washing-up liquid.

Clean the filter under running water or in the dishwasher. Rinse out the interior of the pot with nothing but warm water after every use.

Never clean the pot in the dishwasher. If deposits form inside the pot after it has been in use over a longer period, the deposits can be removed gently with a denture cleaning tablet: Fill in water, add the tablet, and leave to take effect for several hours. Then rinse the pot several times.

Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents.

Decalcifying

Limescale and calcium deposits result in a loss of energy and impair the service life of the appliance. The appliance will switch off prematurely if the deposit is too excessive. It is then very difficult to remove the deposit. We therefore recommend you to decalcify the appliance regularly, but at the latest when the brewing time increases significantly or there is more noise during the brewing process.

The following values are offered for guidance and are based on daily use in a household.

Hardness range Hardness Decalcification
1 soft 0 - 7° dH every	6 months
2 medium >7- 14° dH every 3 months
3 hard >14 - 21° dH	every 6 weeks
4 very hard	>21° dH	every 4 weeks

1° dH corresponds to approximately 0.18 mmol/l Ca and Mg ions

You can obtain details of the water hardness range in your residential area from your water works or community offices.

We recommend using durgol® universal. This decalcifier is highly effective, protects the material and does not require any additional exposure time.

You can obtain this decalcifier where you bought the appliance or from select dealers, or you can order it directly from wmf consumer electric.

Insert the paper filter and place the pot into the automatic coffee maker. Fill 1-2 cups of durgol® universal into the water reservoir, fill up the reservoir with tap water to the 9 cups mark and switch on the appliance. During the decalcifying process repeatedly switch off the machine for a few minutes. This will ensure an optimal decalcifying effect.

Then let a reservoir full of tap water run through to rinse the appli- ance.

On no account use vinegar or vinegar essence, as the materials in the appliance could be damaged.

When using decalcifiers based on citric acid. precipitates may form during decalcification and seal the calcium deposits or block the pipelines in the appliance. Furthermore, decalcification with citric acid is too slow and therefore complete decalcification cannot be guaranteed.

Important. Warranty compensation does not cover damage that occurs due to non-compliance with the decalcification instructions.
