No responsibility can be accepted for any damage if the appliance is used incorrectly or for the wrong purposes.

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction con- cerning use of the appliance by a per- son responsible for their safety.

• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. Cable compartment (Figure 2) Your coffee machine has a cable com- partment. If the mains lead is too long, you can push cable that is not needed into the compartment on the rear of the appliance. Prior to using for the first time Prior to preparing coffee for the first time, you should perform one or two brews with water only. Fill the fresh water container up to the max. marking with cold water, and with the appliance switched on, allow the water to flow through into the coffee jug without using ground coffee or filter paper. To do this, turn the rotary knob (Figure 1/M) to the posi- tion . Then swich the appliance on using the On/Off-switch (Figure 1/K) and press the start button (Figure 1/L). Preparation Filling with water (Figure 3) 0 Raise the lid of the fresh water tank (Figure 1/J). 0 Fill the container with clear, cold tap water. You will find cup markings on the cof- fee jug for measuring out the required quantity. The markings apply to the quantity of fresh water. As the ground coffee absorbs water, the amount of coffee produced will be less. 0 Reclose the lid of the fresh water tank.

Never use hot water. Nor should you fill the fresh water container with milk, prepared coffee, tea etc. Inserting filter paper (Figure 4) 0 Swing out the swivel filter (Figure 1/B). 0 Place size 4 filter paper in the filter insert. Please first fold back the side and lower edge of the paper filter. 0 Swing the swivel filter back again. Place the coffee jug with lid on the warming plate (Figure 5) Coffee grinder Place coffee beans in the bean container (Figure 6) The coffee grinder has a bean con- tainer (Figure 1/E), which keeps the beans constantly aroma fresh. 0 Fill the container to the top and fasten firmly with the lid. The bean container holds approxi- mately 125 g of coffee beans. Grinding texture adjustment (Figure 7) You can change the size of coffee ground to suit the strength of roast. 0 Turn the bean container (Figure 1/E) to the desired position. Setting

(Figure 7/a) is for lightly roasted beans; setting

(Figure 7/b) for dark roast beans. We recommend beginning with a medium setting which is suitable for the types of coffee that are usually commercially available.

During the grinding process, it may occur that the grinder channel gets blocked. In this case, please clean the grinder channel and change to another grinder setting 822_949_393 EKAM80_Elux.book Seite 25 Dienstag, 15. Januar 2008 4:55 16g

You can prepare coffee with beans. Therefore you must set the number of cups with the rotary switch (Figure 1/M). The grinder will grind the appro- priate amount of coffee beans. 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10 cups can be set. 0 Pour in water. 0 Swing out the swivel filter (Figure 1/B). 0 Insert filter paper. 0 Swing the swivel filter back. 0 Place coffee jug on the warming plate. 0 Swing out the water supply (Figure 1/D) using the swivel lever (Figure 1/H) until it engages (Figure 9). 0 Set the desired number of cups with the rotary switch (Figure 1/M). 0 Swich the appliance on using the On/ Off-switch (Figure 1/K). The red indicator will come on. 0 Press the start button (Figure 1/L). Grinding will begin at once, the green indicator flashes quickly. Once the coffee has been ground, the water supply swings back automati- cally to the brewing position and brewing begins, the green indicator flashes slowly. Switching off Switch the appliance off with the On/ Off-switch (Figure 1/K). The red indica- tor goes off. Warming plate (Figure 1/N) After brewing the warming plate keeps the coffee in the glass jug warm. Two hours after brewing the warming plate switches off automatically, the green indicator goes off. Removing the jug (Figure 11) When the jug is removed, the anti-drip valve prevents dripping. Cleaning (It is imperative that these instructions are observed!) Coffee part The filter insert can be removed for emptying and cleaning. 0 Swing out the swivel filter. 0 Place your finger in the rear handle recess (Figure 12) and pull the bracket up. This unlocks the filter insert and it can be removed for cleaning. 0 Activate the anti-drip valve several times during cleaning. 0 After cleaning the filter insert, fit the swivel filter. Reposition the bracket (Figure 13). The filter insert is now relocked. Please check that it is positioned and locked correctly! 822_949_393 EKAM80_Elux.book Seite 26 Dienstag, 15.

0 Only clean the appliance using a damp cloth; never immerse it in water. Only the coffee jug and jug lid are dish- washer safe. Coffee grinder From time to time (at the latest when a blockage occurs), it is necessary to clean the grinder channel to free it from oily coffee residues. To do this, proceed as follows: 0 Remove the plug from the mains. 0 Using a pointed object (e.g. a ball pen) unlock the cover of the grinding chan- nel (Figure 1/G and Figure

) and pull the cover towards the front. 0 Swing out the water supply (Figure 1/D) using the swivel lever (Figure 1/H) until it engages (Figure 9). 0 Insert a paper filter in the swivel filter. 0 Brush the coffee residue (including that from the rear of the channel) into the paper filter using a suitable item (e.g., paintbrush) (Figure 15). The cof- fee residue can also be removed using a vacuum cleaner. 0 Then wipe the grinding channel with a dry cloth. 0 Empty the paper filter. 0 Press the release lever (Figure 1/C) to return the water supply to the brewing position (Figure 10). 0 Push the cover of the grinding channel (Figure 1/G and Figure 14) back on until it engages. When doing so, press the catch down with your finger. Check that the cover is correctly positioned. Your coffee machine is now fully ready for use again.

If dark, oily coffee beans are used, the grinding channel needs to be cleaned more often than for light beans. To avoid blockages in the grinding channel:

• Do not use frozen coffee beans, as water condenses on them on defrost- ing and can lead to blockages.

• Position the appliance sufficiently far away from the cooker or a deep fat fryer as fat can cause a blockage.

• Always keep the container for the cof- fee beans closed. 0 Every now and again clean the coffee grinder (Figure 1/E) of oily residues from the coffee beans using a dry cloth. Descaling - to prolong the life of your coffee machine As a precaution we recommend descal- ing every three months. If you are using a gold filter, remove it from the filter insert before descaling. Use only an environmentally friendly descaling agent and always follow the manufac- turer’s instructions. Do not use any descaler based on formic acid. Nor should you use a powder descaling agent.

First fill the fresh water container with water and then add the descaling agent. Never vice versa. 0 Place the coffee jug with lid on the warming plate. 0 Allow the descaling solution to work for approximately 15 minutes, then switch on the appliance. 0 Once the descaling solution has perco- lated through, switch the appliance off.

If necessary, repeat the descaling pro- cedure. 0 Then repeat the procedure at least twice using clear water. 0 Rinse the coffee jug, jug lid and filter insert thoroughly under running water. Activate the anti-drip valve several times as it is rinsed. Important

• you are unable to swing the swivel fil-ter into the brewing position?– Ensure that the filter insert is cor-rectly positioned!• the coffee runs into the jug too slowly?– Clean the anti-drip valve!– Descale the appliance (see instruc-tions on descaling).– Possibly use other paper filters. Coffee jug If you break your coffee jug, you can purchase a replacement jug (E-No. 407138479/8) at the appropri-ate charge from your specialist dealer or from the Customer Care Depart-ment.
