To do so, fill the tank to the 8-cup mark (version with glass jug) or to the 6-cup mark (version with thermos jug), as otherwise the jug can overflow. Coffee preparation Open the water tank (6) by removing the lid (5). Only pour cold water into the tank (6). The water level indicator is for the amount of fresh water that is needed to brew the desired number of cups per 125 ml coffee. Remove the lid (3) of the aroma filter (2) to add the coffee powder. Place a size 4 paper filter into the filter (2), but fold the stamped edge before doing so. The paper filter should not protrude over the edge of the filter, therefore you must push it down slightly with your hand. Fill with the required amount of coffee powder. Depending on your personal taste, use approx. 5-7 g of medium ground coffee per cup. If it is ground too finely, the filter can overflow. Place the lid (3) on the filter (2) and place this on the aroma glass jug/ Cromargan® thermos jug. Insert the mains plug into the socket and push the Start / Stop button (1). The ring light illuminates white and the preparation begins. You can cancel the preparation at any time by pressing the Start / Stop button (1). Wait until all of the coffee has run into the jug. Remove the jug from the appliance and take the filter (2) out of the jug. A drip-stop valve in the filter prevents coffee from dripping. Now close the pot with the lid. Note: if there is no water in the water tank and a brewing process has been started, an audible alarm sounds.15

WMF Aroma Perfection If you would like to prepare a strong aromatic coffee, you can activate the aroma function WMF Aroma Perfection. It is particularly recommended for preparing small amounts. Just press the Start/Stop button (1) twice quickly, and the ring light on the Start/Stop button (1) will flash white. Note: If you wait longer than approximately 3 seconds before pressing the Start/ Stop button (2) for a second time, the appliance will switch off. Please note that the preparation time takes slightly longer. Keep-warm function (only version with glass jug) In order to keep the finished brewed coffee at a serving temperature, your device is equipped with a keep-warm function. After the preparation is complete, the keep-warm function activates automatically and the Start / Stop button (1) remains illuminated white. The keep-warm time is 30 minutes. Then the device automatically switches off and the Start / Stop button (1) turns off. You can deactivate the keep-warm function at any time by pressing the Start / Stop button (1). Automatic shut-off (only version with thermos jug) After being switched on, the automatic shut-off ensures that the device does not overheat. Only once the water has completely passed through does the device switch off and the Start / Stop button (1) is no longer illuminated. It is possible to shut off the coffee maker early by pressing the Start / Stop button (1) . This could be necessary if you accidentally start the coffee machine without water. You must wait for a few minutes before you add more water into the hot device. Allow the coffee machine to cool beforehand. Information about the Cromargan® vacuum jug (only version with vacuum jug) The jug is designed as a serving pot and best keeps the content warm when it is full. The time the content is kept warm can be significantly reduced if it is only partially full or has residual amounts. It is best to rinse the jug with hot water before prepara- tion. Place the lid on the pot so that the markings on the pot and lid are at . Turn the lid to the pouring position (see image). In this position the lid is also secured against falling off. A full jug should only be used in an upright position, since the lid does not have a sealing function. To remove the lid, turn it slightly counter-clockwise. The double-walled Cromargan® jug is absolutely shatter-proof. Nevertheless, it should be protected against mechanical stresses. Rinse the jug regularly. If iron particles from water accumulate on the Cromargan® surface, they can create pitting at those points. These deposits must therefore be removed immediately with a stain- less steel cleanser. Note: Stubborn coffee grounds in the jug can e.g. be dissolved with baking soda.16 Cleaning and maintenance Cleaning Unplug the mains plug and allow the appliance to cool down. Do not immerse the appliance in water, but instead just use a damp cloth and a little washing-up liquid to clean its exterior. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents. The filter, glass jug and thermos jug can be cleaned under running water. Scaling indicator Scale deposits result in an extended brewing time and lower quality coffee. Limescale deposits also lead to energy losses and impair the service life of the appliance. The automatic scaling indicator determines the time for the next descaling cycle. Depending on the coffee consumption, the Start/Stop button (1) will flash blue/ white during brewing to prompt you to descale the appliance after 4 to 6 weeks. Descaling - Anti-limescale program Descaling agent We recommend using Cromargol®. This product is highly effective, food safe and is neutral in taste and smell. Thanks to its special care formula with six high-quality and protective additives, Cromargol® is also very gentle on materials. You can usually purchase Cromargol® from the store where you purchased your appliance or from your chosen dealer. You can also use a commercially available descaling agent that is suitable for filter coffee machines. Do not use vinegar or vinegar concentrate, as this can damage materials in the appliance. When using descalers based on citric acids, precipitates could form during descaling that seal the limescale layer or clog the lines in the appliance. Descaling with citric acids also takes too long, and therefore complete descaling cannot be guaranteed. Damage caused by the use of an unsuitable descaling agent or through non- compliance with the descaling instructions is not covered by our warranty claim. Handle the descaling agent carefully to ensure that no furniture or clothing is damaged.17

Descaling programme Your coffee machine has an automatic descaling programme. Note: Once the descaling programme has started it must not be interrupted. This is for the safety of all users. It prevents coffee from being brewed accidentally while the descaling solution has not yet been fully rinsed away. In case of emergency, you can interrupt the descaling programme by pressing the Start-Stop button (1). In this case you should rinse the tank (8) and then fill it to the 8-cup mark (version with glass jug) or to the 6-cup mark (version with thermos jug) with fresh tap water and allow this to run through the machine.

• Insert the paper filter and place the jug in the machine. Any more substantial amounts of limescale residue collect on the filter paper, thus preventing the outlet valve from clogging.

• Add a portion (100 ml) of Cromargol® to the water tank (6) and top off with tap water to the 8-cup mark (version with glass jug) or to the 6-cup mark (version with thermos jug).

• Dose other descaling agents according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Inset the mains plug into the socket and hold down the Start/Stop button (1) for approx. 2 seconds. The ring light turns blue and the descaling programme starts. The Start/Stop button (1) illuminates blue during the descaler programme.

• The descaling program automatically ends after about 40 minutes and the Start/ Stop button ring light turns off. Note: The descaling process comprises several rinse cycles and pauses.

• Important: Then to rinse, fill the tank (6) to the 8-cup mark (version with glass jug) or to the 6-cup mark (version with thermos jug) with fresh tap water and allow this to run through the machine.18 For UK use only
