(1) Competent qualified electrician: after sales department of the producer or importer or any person who is qualified, approved and competent to perform this kind of repairs in order to avoid all danger. In any case you should return the appliance to this electrician.
INITIAL OPERATION
- For a perfect taste, carry out 2 or 3 boil-processes with fresh water (without coffee). These boil-processes are absolutely necessary.
- Once all the water has passed through, switch the appliance off and let it cool down during 5 minutes. Then repeat the process with fresh water.
PREPARATION OF COFFEE
- Open the lid of the water tank and pour the desired volume of water in it. Make sure not to overfill by filling maximum 8 cups of water. The number of cups can be read from the water level indicator (7).
- Use the permanent filter or insert a paper filter (size 4) in the filter holder and add the desired quantity of ground coffee (1 teaspoon per cup, approximately 6g). Pay attention: fold the bottom and the side edges of the paper filter in such a way that it fits perfectly in the filter holder.
- Do never forget to close the lid of the water tank (4) before switching on your coffee maker. !! Attention please close the lid exactly !!
- Put the thermos flask (1) with closed lid on the supporting plate.
- To switch on the machine, put the switch in position "I" and its pilot light will come on, indicating that the appliance is working.
- When the brewing process is over, remove the thermos flask from the supporting plate and pour the desired amount of coffee, keeping the lever of the trickle-through lid pressed down.
- When you remove the thermos flask from the appliance, a non-drip valve will automatically operate to stop any drops of coffee dripping onto the hotplate. Replacement of the thermos flask automatically opens the non-drip valve and allows remaining coffee to filter through into the thermos flask.
- Wait until the brewing process is finished and the filter has run empty. Switch off the appliance by putting the ON/OFF switch in position "0" and unplug it.
•The thermos flask allows you to keep the coffee warm for quite some time.
•Practical hints:
- When the water tank is empty, wait a few additional minutes, as some water might still drip out of the filter.
•To keep the coffee warm, remove the flask from the appliance, as then the cap will close itself hermetically.
- Press the lever of the lid to pour coffee.
DECALCIFICATION AND CLEANING
- When you notice that the coffee making process is longer than it should be, it is probably time to decalcify the appliance. Do not wait until the situation gets worse. The

decalcifying frequency depends on the amount of lime in water and therefore can be different from family to family. Therefore it is important to pay attention to this.
- We advise you to descale the coffee maker to prolong its life span. For descaling only use products especially made for descaling of coffee makers and follow their instruction manual. Then rinse the appliance twice with fresh water, without coffee powder. Guarantee claims will not be accepted for appliances that have not been descaled.
- Never use a dishwasher to clean the appliance or its accessories. Just clean the thermos flask in soapsuds.
•To clean the plastic parts of the appliance, use a damp, non abrasive cloth.
