Substantial dangers for the user can appear from inappropriate repairs. Information for the Thermal Carafe The thermal carafe contains 10 cups of coffee at 125 ml each. It is designed as serving carafe and keeps the contents warm at maxi- mum fill. The warming period can be essentially reduced in case of partial filling and residual quantities. It is best, if the carafe is rinsed with hot water prior to preparation. The closure of the brewing lid is not 100% leak-proof, so that it can be easily opened after the coffee has cooled. Only lightly twist the cover for closing. Use the filled carafe only vertically, do not bump hard and do not tilt. When pouring, turn the lid counter- clockwise until the marking is above the pouring spout. The double-walled insulating glass insert is mouth blown. Streaks or bubbles, which can appear like cracks, cannot be prevented. They do not inhibit its usability. High temperature differences must be avoided, otherwise the insulating glass insert could shatter. Do not use any hard objects for stirring or cleaning. Do not place any tea filters into the thermal carafe or fill with ice cubes. If the glass is damaged, a risk of imploding the insert exists due to the vacuum. This could also occur at a later time without connecting the cause of the damage. Therefore never drink directly from the thermal carafe, do not reach into the carafe and do not use any hard brushes and such! Always close the carafe with a lid and do not leave unattended near children! Damages on the insulating glass ins- ert are exempt from the warranty. Liability is not assumed for subse- quent damages that occur due to careless handling. Replace insulating glass insert You may obtain a replacement for the insulating glass insert where you bought the appliance or you can order it directly from petra-electric. Please state the precise model de- scription. You will find it on the bot- tom of the appliance. Please wear safety glasses and safety gloves when replacing the insulating glass insert and make sure that no other person is in the vicinity. Unscrew the bottom of the thermal carafe by turning it counterclockwise and remove the glass insert. Place the rubber seal on the edge of the new insulation glass insert, and then push the insert into the housing and screw onto the bottom by turning clockwise. The dowel of the glass

Instructions for use6 flask is extremely sensitive, it may not be damaged. Putting into operation Before first use or when the appli- ance has not worked for some time, make 2 operations without coffee powder and with max. water filling, then rinse filter and jug with hot water. Preparing coffee Pour cold water into the water con- tainer. The number of cups which are to brew can be seen on the water level indicator. The water level indi- cation shows the number of brewed cups with 125 ml of coffee each. Swivel the filter holder to the front and insert the paper filter 1 x 4 fol- ded 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 and according to personal prefe- rence. Put the thermal jug with the closed brewing lid under the filter. Connect plug with a safety socket and switch on. The operation lamp shows the start of the brewing process. After completing the process, switch off the appliance and remove the carafe. The Drip stop prevents that the coffee continues to drip. Before making new coffee, the appli- ance has to cool down for some minutes. Soluble coffee can be used in the filter without paper. Prepare tea by hanging the tea bags into jug. The jug must be used with the empty filter. Cleaning and maintenance Disconnect the appliance from the socket and let the coffee maker cool down. Never immerse the appliance in water. Use a damp cloth with wa- shing-up liquid and rub dry after- wards. Filter can be cleaned under running water or in a dish washer. The jug is to be cleared only with warm water in the inside after each use. Never put it in a dish washer. In case after some time there should be a film inside the thermal 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. Do not use abrasive or scouring agents. 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 appli- ance needs to be descaled. The following indications are guide- lines which refer to a daily use in the household. Hardness Hardness Descaling degree intervals 1 water with 0-7° dH twice low descale a year calcium content 2 water with >7-14° DH four times medium descale a year calcium content 3 water with >14-21° dH every 6 high descale weeks calcium content 4 water with >21° dH monthly very high descale calcium content 1° dH corresponds to aprox. 0.18 mmol/l Ca and MG Ions You can ask for the degree of hard- ness in your residential area at the responsible waterworks or the local administration. Use a standard descaling agent according to the application instruc- tions. Use a paper filter and put the jug in the coffee maker. Pour some desca- ling agent, diluted according to the application instructions up to the maximum number of cups. If during the brewing process the appliance is switched off several times for some minutes, the descaling agent can work best. Repeat this process with a new descaling agent each until the dis- turbing noise is removed. Never pour hot descaling solution into the water container. Attention: After descaling it is neces- sary to operate the appliance 2-3 times with a full container of water as done before the first use. Damages caused by the non-obser- vance of these instructions are not covered by the guarantee. For UK use only1.
