Should the appliance, for instance, have been dropped onto a hard surface, or if excessive force has been used to pull the power cord, it must no longer be used: even invisible damage may have adverse effects on the operational safety of the appliance. ∙ Before use, make sure that the handle of the glass carafe is properly and securely fi tted. ∙ During operation, the coffee maker must be placed on a level, non-slip surface, impervious to splashes and stains. ∙ Do not allow the appliance or its power cord to touch hot surfaces or to come into contact with any heat sources.12 ∙ Caution: the hot-plate becomes very hot during operation. ∙ To prevent the danger of hot water or steam being emitted, always switch off the coffee maker and allow suffi cient time for the appliance to cool down before it is opened or any accessories or attachments are removed. ∙ Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. ∙ Remove the plug from the wall socket - in case of any malfunction, - during cleaning, - if the appliance is not being used for an extended period of time. ∙ When removing the plug from the wall socket, never pull on the power cord; always grip the plug itself. ∙ Do not allow the power cord to hang free; the cord must be kept well away from hot parts of the appliance. ∙ No responsibility will be accepted if damage results from improper use, or if these instructions are not complied with. First use ∙ First clean your coffee maker by operating it twice or three times with approx. 6 cups of fresh cold water but without using ground coffee. How to make fi lter coffee ∙ When making smaller quantities of coffee, it is better to place the glass jug on the hotplate and then switch it on. In that way, the freshly brewed coffee will be delivered into the pre-heated jug. ∙ Open the pivoted fi lter holder (6) and take off the fi lter holder lid (5) (illustration I). ∙ Place a paper fi lter (size 1 x 4) into the plastic fi lter and add fi ne ground coffee: ∙ We recommend the use of fi nely ground coffee ∙ approx. 6g=2 tsp. for a medium sized coffee cup and ∙ approx. 4g=1½ tsp. for a smaller sized coffee cup. ∙ The amount of coffee used may be altered to taste. ∙ Replace the fi lter lid (5) back onto the fi lter holder (6) and swing back the fi lter holder. ∙ Open the water reservoir lid (3) and fi ll the reservoir (4) with the required amount of cold water. The minimum quantity of water used should be for two medium- sized coffee cups (illustration II). ∙ The water level marks inside the water reservoir help you to measure the amount of water needed for the number of cups of coffee you wish to prepare: ∙ water level marks on the left-hand side: medium-sized coffee cups (approx. 125 ml) ∙ water level marks on the right-hand side: smaller sized coffee cups. ∙ Be careful not to exceed the maximum water level of 8 medium-sized cups as otherwise boiling water may be ejected and cause burns. ∙ Close the water reservoir lid (3). This is important as the “Vapotronic“-system can only operate while the lid is closed. ∙ Place the glass jug (9) with its lid (8) on top of it onto the hotplate (10). The jug lid opens the non-drip valve of the fi lter holder (illustration III). ∙ Use the On-off button (1) to switch on the hot-plate (10). ∙ Now use the On-off button (2) to turn on the brewing system (illustration IV). The indicator light comes on. The water in the reservoir is now brought to the boil. With the water reservoir fi lled to its maximum13 capacity, it will take about 5 minutes to heat the water. ∙ Once the perfect brewing temperature has been reached the valve inside the water reservoir opens and the brewing cycle begins. ∙ The water reservoir element will switch off automatically and the pilot light on the right-hand side will go out. ∙ The water starts to fl ow through the fi lter holder into the glass jug (9). The fi ltering process is complete when the total amount of water has passed through and no water is left in the fi lter holder. ∙ To interrupt the brewing cycle, press the On/Off button again to turn the appliance off. ∙ When removing the glass jug (9) from the machine once the fi ltering process is complete, the non-drip valve of the fi lter holder will close and prevent coffee from dripping onto the hotplate of the machine. ∙ Remove the glass jug from the appliance. ∙ To keep remaining coffee hot, replace the glass jug (9) back onto the hotplate (10). ∙ The plate is kept hot for around 35 minutes after brewing is complete. However, it may be turned off by pressing the on-off button again to switch the appliance off. ∙ If the hot-plate is switched on only after the water is heated, it will automatically switch off after around 40 minutes. ∙ The plastic fi lter can be removed for cleaning (illustration V). ∙ Should you wish to start several brewing cycles one after the other, allow the machine to cool down for at least 5 minutes with the reservoir lid open before re-using it. Use cold water only to refi ll the water reservoir. Warning! Remember that the water reservoir and the reservoir lid are still hot after the brewing cycle has been completed and hot steam may escape from the reservoir when opening the lid (danger of scalding)! Cable storage The cable storage space serves for storing the cable and for the limitation of its length (illustration VI). Cleaning and care ∙ Before cleaning your coffee maker, always make sure that the plug has been removed from the mains supply socket. ∙ For safety reasons the coffee maker should not be treated with water or liquids and should never be immersed. ∙ Wipe the body of the machine with a clean damp cloth and dry afterwards. To prevent the valve of the water reservoir from getting clogged, use a non-fl uffy cloth to clean the water reservoir and the glass jug. ∙ Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners. ∙ The glass jug (9), its lid (8), the fi lter lid (5) and the plastic fi lter (6) may be cleaned in hot soapy water or in the dishwasher. Descaling ∙ In order to maintain the excellent quality of your coffee maker, we recommend you to descale the machine at regular intervals. ∙ Any warranty claim will be null and void if the appliance malfunctions because of insuffi cient descaling. ∙ Descaling is needed when ∙ the brewing cycle takes longer than normal, ∙ there is build-up of deposits inside the water reservoir or on the valve unity,14 ∙ the valve of the water reservoir has become leaky. For descaling we recommend using a mixture of min. 0.25 litre of water and 2 tablespoonful of vinegar. ∙ Place a paper fi lter into the plastic fi lter (without using ground coffee). ∙ Fill the cold descaling mixture into the water reservoir (4). ∙ Switch on the machine and allow it to complete the brewing cycle. ∙ To clean the machine after descaling operate it twice or three times with fresh cold water only (without using ground coffee). Never pour the descaler into an enamelled sink and do not use it a second time.
