Information about the stainless steel pot

(version with vacuum jug only)

The pot is designed as a serving pot and best keeps coffee warm when filled to the

maximum. The keep-warm time can be drastically reduced if only filled partially or

with residual amounts. It is best if the pot is rinsed with hot water before prepara-

For technical reasons, the seal made by the drip-through lid is not 100 percent sealed

so that it can still easily be opened after the coffee has cooled down. To close, lightly

tighten the lid. Only use the filled pot in an upright position.

To pour, press the pour button on the handle.

To open the pot, lightly turn the lid in a counter-clockwise direction. Ensure that the

pour button is located over the handle once again after closing the lid.

The double-walled, stainless steel container is absolutely unbreakable. Nevertheless,

it should be protected from mechanical stresses.

Rinse the pot regularly. If iron particles from water set on the stainless steel surface,

it may lead to localised corrosion at that point. Therefore, remove these deposits

immediately with a stainless steel cleanser.

You can remove the water tank for easy filling. Open the water tank by pressing on

the lid. Only pour cold water into the tank. The water level display applies to the

fresh water quantity that is needed to brew the desired number of 125 ml cups of

Swing out the swing-out filter to fill with ground coffee. Place a 1 x 4 paper filter in

the filter, but fold the edge before doing so. The paper filter should not extend over

the edge of the filter, so it is therefore to be lightly pressed with your hand.

Fill with the required amount of ground coffee. Depending on personal test, figure

approximately 5-7 g medium-fine ground coffee per person. If the coffee is ground

too finely, the filter may overflow.

Close the swing-out filter until you hear an audible click.13

You can activate the aroma function if you want to prepare a stronger, more

aromatic coffee. It is particularly recommended for preparing small quantities. To

do so, press the aroma button

or activate the automatic switch-on system, the aroma function is deactivated

Please note that the preparation time takes slightly longer.

(version with vacuum jug only)

In order to achieve a particularly intense flavour, you can activate the pre-brew

. Only a small amount of water is advanced at first for the pre-brew.

overheat. The device switches off only once all of the water has drained completely.

It is possible to shut off the device earlier by pressing the start / stop button. This

could be necessary if you accidentally switch on the unit without water. Before

filling the hot device with water, it is necessary to wait a few minutes to allow the

coffee machine to cool down.14

Allow the device to cool for 5 minutes before preparing more coffee.

The automatic scaling indicator determines the time for the due descaling. Depend-

ing on the coffee consumption and the set water hardness, you will be prompted to

descale after 4 to 6 weeks by the flashing CALC display during brewing.

After another approximately 50 cups of coffee, CALC appears permanently in the

display and no more coffee can be brewed. A descaling must now take place.

Setting the water hardness

Your appliance has an automatic scaling display. To protect against too much lime

scale, the appliance is pre-configured

for very hard water. Ask your local waterworks or local authorities about the water

hardness of your tap water. Change the setting when the water hardness is less than

21°dH. You will not be asked to descale as often as before.

To do so, hold the Set button approximately 7 seconds until Set CALC appears in the

display. The CALC display and the current set degree of hardness, e.g. H4, now flash

alternately. As long as the water hardness is flashing in the display, it can be changed

to water hardness 1, 2, 3 or 4 by pressing the

Confirm the setting by pressing the Set button.

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

Limescale deposits lead to losses of energy and impair the service life of the device.

We recommend using durgol® universal. It is highly effective and non-abrasive

without additional reaction time.

You can find this where the device was purchased, in select speciality stores or you

can order it directly from wmf consumer electric.15

EN Insert paper filter and place the pot in the machine. Place one dose of (125 ml)

durgol® universal into the water tank and fill with tap water to the 10-cup mark

(version with glass pot) or to the 8-cup mark (version with vacuum jug).

To start the descaling, press the

button and hold this down for approximately 4

seconds. CALC appears in the display, the descaling program starts automatically and

the illuminated ring for the start / stop button illuminates. The descaling program

ends automatically after approximately 40 minutes, the illuminated ring of the start

/ stop button turns off and the display shows the time again.

Note: The device switches on and off several times during the descaling process.

Important: Afterwards, fill the tank to the 10-cup mark (version with glass pot) or

to the 8-cup mark (version with vacuum jug) with fresh tap water to rinse and run

the cycle once through.

Using vinegar or vinegar concentrate could damage materials in the appliance.

When using descalers with citric acid bases, deposits could form during descaling

that seal the limescale layer or clog the lines in the device. In addition, descaling

with citric acids runs too slowly. A complete descaling process can therefore not be

Attention: there is no claim under warranty for damages caused by not observing

the descaling instructions.

Unplug the mains plug and allow the appliance to cool down.

Do not immerse the device in water, but rather clean the outside with a damp cloth16

with a little washing-up fluid and then wipe away.

Do not use any sharp and abrasive cleaning agents.

The filter, glass pot and vacuum jug can be cleaned under flowing water.
