Anti-chlorine filter

(Only for KM 22 - 24 and KM 27- 29)

The anti-chlorine 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 125ml each and is designed as a jug for serving. With maximum filling it keeps contents warm at the longest. With partial fillings and residues the time of keeping warm is reduced.

Rinse the jug with hot water before preparing the coffee and put it under the filter 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 putting 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.

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 operate 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 container. The water level indication indicates the number of brewed cups with 125ml 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 × 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 can be bought where the appliance has been bought or ordered directly from the manufacturer.

Then rinse it several times.

Dscaling

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.

Degree of Descaling hardness intervals
1 water with low calcium content	descale twice a year
2 water with descale medium times calcium content	e four a year
3 and 4 water with high calcium content	descale monthly

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 coffeemaker. 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.

Attention: After descending it is necessary to operate the appliance 2 times with a full container of water as done before the first use. Damages caused by the non-observation of these instructions are not covered by the guarantee.
