Anti-chlorine filter (not for KM 44)

The anti-chlorine filter can reduce chlorine which is in the mains water so that the aroma 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.

Flavour selection switch (not for KM 44)

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
0 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 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 shows the water quantity which is necessary for brewing of the desired cups of 125ml of coffee each.

The scale on the glass jug also indicates the water quantity. 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. 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.

Cleaning and maintenance

Disconnect the appliance from the socket and let the coffeemaker cool down. 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.

Decalcification

Calcium deposits result in energy losses and reduce the service life of the appliance. It switches off early, if the calcium coating is too thick. It is then difficult to remove. Please decalcify the appliance therefore routinely; however, always after an essentially extended brewing period or increased noise development. The following information is a guideline that refers to daily household use.

Hardness Hardness Decalcified
range cation		intervals
1 soft 0-7° dH	every 6	months
2 medium >7-14° dH every 3		months
3 hard >14-21° dH every 6		weeks
4 very hard >21° dH monthly

1^ corresponds to aprox. 0.18mmol / l Ca and Mg ions

You can obtain information concerning the hardness range in your residential area from the responsible water plant or the community administration.

We recommend using durgol express. However, it is very effective and safe for materials without any additional reaction period.

You may obtain it where you bought the appliance; directly from a select dealer or you can order it directly from petraelectric.

It must be removed prior to decalcification in appliances with an anti-chlorine filter. Insert the paper filter and place the carafe into the machine. Fill 1-2 cups of durgol expressinto the water tank, fill up to the max mark and switch on the appliance. Then run a complete tank full of tap water through for rinsing. Never use vinegar or vinegar essence, since materials in the appliance can be damaged by this.

When using decalcifiers based on citric acid, settlements can form during decalcification, which block the calcium coating or plug up the lines in the appliance. In addition, the decalcification using citric acid proceeds too slowly - a complete decalcification can therefore not be guaranteed.

Caution, warranty compensation does not exist for damages that occur due to non-compliance.
