Do not use the appliance without water. Fill the water container with cold water only up to the maximum number of cups which is determined by the jug.

Do not put water into the operating appliance or into an appliance when it is still hot. Let the coffee maker cool down for 5 minutes after switching it off.

Caution: The appliance will become hot during use. Scalding danger due to escaping steam! Do not swivel the filter during the brewing operation and do not open the lid.

Children are not aware of the dangers that can be caused by electrical appliances. Therefore never leave the appliance unattended during use. Use and store the device out of reach of children.

Always switch off the appliance if it is not used and disconnect the plug.

If the following happens do not use the appliance and unplug it immediately: - the appliance or the mains cable is damaged - any defect after the appliance has accidently dropped or something similar is suspected In these cases have the appliance repaired.

Change the anti-chlorine filter after the fixed time of use.

Descale the appliance regularly.

The glass jug must not be used in a micro wave oven.

Do not immerse the appliance in water.

In the case of misuse, wrong handling, non-observance of the descaling in- structions or incorrect repair no liability will be taken for possible damages. Claims under guarantee are also excluded in such cases.

The appliance is not designed for commercial purposes.

In case the cord of this appliance is damaged, it has to be replaced by an authorised service agent of the manu- facturer or a person having similar qualifications. Substantial dangers for the user can appear from inappropriate repairs. Anti-chlorine filter (Only for KM 22 - 24 and KM 27- 29) The anti-chlore filter can reduce chlorine which is in the mains water so that the arome of the coffee can be completely developed. The filter should be rinsed under running water before it is put in. Remove the filter holder from the water container and take away the filter ring. The anti-chlorine filter is put in from the top in the ring and then it has to be snapped in the filter holder by turning it clockwise. Press down the filter holder in the water container. The effect of the anti-chlorine filter is reduced when it has been used a lot. Therefore, it should be changed after two months at the latest for an average daily consumption of 10 cups. The time of the next change of the filter can be determined by using the dial. The coffeemaker also works without anti-chlorine filter. Thermos jug in stainless steel EK 20 (Only for KM 25 - 29) The thermos jug has a capacity of 8 cups of coffee of 125 ml each and is designed as a jug for serving. With maxi- mum filling it keeps contents warm at the longest. With partial fillings and residues the time of keeping warm is reduced. 5Rinse the jug with hot water before pre- paring the coffee and put it under the fil- ter with the direct brewing lid. The jug should be closed with the closing lid immediately after brewing in order to avoid that the prepared coffee will cool. For technical reasons, the seal does not close 100 % so that the lid cannot suck. Therefore only transport and put down the filled jug upright. Attention: immediately after brewing the base of the thermos jug is hot. Therefore only hold it by the grip when you want to carry it and for put- ting it down. On sensitive surfaces protect it with a coaster. For pouring open the lid anti-clockwise like shown in the illustration. Do not use the thermos jug for keeping warm milk products and baby food because the bacteria could multiply uncontrollably. Flavour selection switch (Only for KM 22/24 and 27/28) The flavour selection switch offers the possibility to prepare a coffee to one’s own taste. aroma ● strong aromatic coffee ● preferably for 2 - 4 cups

● off normal ● mild aromatic coffee When choosing the control lamp lights up and the brewing starts. Putting into operation The cord which is not needed can be put in the cable compartment. Before first use and after the appliance has not been used for a long time oper- ate 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 contai- ner. The water level indication indicates the number of brewed cups with 125 ml of coffee each. The scale on the glass jug also indicates the water quantity for normal cups at 125 ml and small cups at 100 ml. This quantity indication is not valid for the prepared coffee because some water evaporates during preparation. For filling in the coffee swivel the filter holder forwards and insert a paper filter 1 x 4 with the filter folder along the embossed line. Make sure that the filter is within the filter holder by exerting light pressure. Fill in the necessary quantity of coffee. Use approximately 5 - 7 grams of medium fine ground coffee per cup or according to personal preference. If the coffee is too fine ground, the draining from the filter can be hindered and it can overflow. Connect plug with a safety socket and switch on. The operation lamp will light up. The brewing process starts. After the brewing process the jug can be removed without coffee dripping from the filter. With the warming plate switched on the coffee is automatically kept at serving temperature in the glass jug until the appliance will be switched off. After brewing, close the thermos jug with the closing lid in order to avoid that the coffee will cool before serving. After that, switch off the appliance. Observe that the coffee is losing flavour when it is kept warm for too much time. Soluble coffee can be used in the filter without paper. Prepare tea by hanging the tea bags into the jug. Put the empty filter into the filter holder. Used tea bags and paper filters with coffee can be composted. Accessories Accessories can be bought where the appliance has been bought or ordered directly from the manufacturer.

Never immerse the appliance in water. Use a damp cloth with detergent and rub dry afterwards. Do not use abrasive or scouring agents. Filter and glass jug can be cleaned under running water or in a dish washer. Do not immerse the thermos jug in stainless steel in water, eventually clean it with a brush. In case after some time there should be a film inside the jug you can use a pill suitable for cleaning dentures to get it off. Fill in water plus the pill and leave it some hours. Then rinse it several times. Descaling 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. You can ask for the degree of hardness in your residential area at the responsible waterworks or the local administration. Use a standard descaling agent which is appropriate for appliances with thermos jugs in stainless steel according to the application instructions. For descaling the anti-chorine filter has to be removed if available. Use a paper filter and put the jug in the coffee maker. Pour approximately 1 litre of the descaling agent, diluted according to the application instructions. If during the brewing process the appliance is switched off several times for some minutes, the descaling agent can work at best. Repeat this process with a new descaling agent each until the disturbing noise is removed. Never pour hot descaling solution into the water container. terminal which is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol , or coloured green or green and yellow, - the wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black, - the wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.
