Frequently Asked Questions - CB 146 BOMANN

How much water to use for the coffee?

Use the water level mark on the tank. Pour cold water according to the desired number of cups.

What type of filter to use?

Use a paper filter size 1x4. Fold the lower edge and place it in the filter holder.

How to adjust the coffee aroma?

Use the aroma selector on the device to choose between strong or mild coffee.

What to do if the coffee is flowing too slowly?

This may indicate a need for descaling. Use a descaling agent based on citric acid according to the instructions on the package.

How to clean the coffee machine?

Unplug the appliance and let it cool down. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Wash the filter holder with soapy water. Do not immerse the carafe in water.

Why won't my coffee machine turn on?

Check that the appliance is plugged into a working 230 V outlet and that the On/Off button is pressed. If the indicator does not light up, contact customer service.

Can I use ground coffee other than filter?

It is recommended to use filter ground coffee. Too fine a grind could clog the filter.

How to avoid burns from the hot plate?

Do not touch the hot plate during or after use. It becomes very hot. Handle the carafe with caution.

What to do in case of water leakage?

Make sure the carafe is properly placed under the filter and that the anti-drip system works. Do not remove the carafe during the brewing cycle.

Where can I find spare parts?

• The appliance is designed exclusively for private use and for the envisaged purpose. This appliance is not fit for commercial use. Do not use it outdoors (except if it is designed to be used outdoors). Keep it away from sources of heat, direct sunlight, humidity (never dip it into any liquid) and sharp edges. Do not use the appliance with wet hands. If the appliance is humid or wet, unplug it immediately. Do not put it in water.
• When cleaning or putting it away, switch off the appliance and always pull out the plug from the socket (pull on the plug, not the cable) if the appliance is not being used and remove the attached accessories.
• Do not operate the machine without supervision. If you should leave the workplace, always switch the machine off or remove the plug from the socket (pull the plug itself, not the lead).
• To protect children from the dangers posed by electrical appliances, make sure that the cable is hanging low and that children do not have access to the appliance.
• Check the appliance and the cable for damage on a regular basis. Do not use the appliance if it is damaged.
• Do not try to repair the appliance on your own. Always contact an authorized technician. To avoid the exposure to danger, always have a faulty cable be replaced only by the manufacturer, by our customer service or by a qualified person and with a cable of the same type.
• Use only original spare parts.
• Pay careful attention to the following "Special Safety Instructions".

Special Safety Instructions

• Fill the water tank only with cold water!
• Never open the lid of the water tank while the coffee is percolating. Otherwise this may result in severe burns.
• The warming plate becomes hot! Danger of burning!

Putting the device into operation

- Remove all the packaging and transport protections from the device. Wipe all the parts with a moist cloth to remove all the dust that may have deposited on and in the device during transport. Then mount the device again by proceeding in the opposite order.

- Carry out 2 or 3 cycles with cold water only to clean the device before brewing the first cup of coffee.

Electrical connection

• Insert the plug in a duly installed 230V/50Hz protective contact socket. The details can be found on the appliance's nameplate.

Operating

1. Pull the lid of the water tank forwards. Fill the machine to the level corresponding to the number of cups required with cold water.
2. Bend the lower fold of the paper filter (size 1x4), place it into the filter funnel and fill it with coffee powder (approx. 1 teaspoon for 2 cups).
3. Close the water tank lid.
4. Place the pot evenly on the base. Please ensure that the lid is on the pot.
5. Switch on the appliance (the LED in the switch lights up).
6. The brewing lasts about 10 to 15 minutes.
7. Your appliance is provided with a drip stop. By removing the pot, before the water runs through the filter completely, it avoids that the coffee drips on the base. If there is still water in the tank or filter, make sure that the pot is placed back under the filter to avoid overflowing.
8. When the coffee stops flowing into the filter, you can remove the pot.
9. Switch off the appliance (the LED in the switch is off).
10. To pour the coffee out of the pot, press the button on the lid.

Aroma selection switch

To select the aroma, change the setting between "strong coffee" ( ) and "weak coffee" ( ) according to taste.
