Operation

Before using your coffee maker for the first time

Before using the appliance for the first time, clean it by running water through it once or twice without using paper filter and coffee.

Making coffee

Open the lid (figure 1/B).
Fill in water (figure 2).

Fill the water reservoir only with fresh cold water. Never fill the water reservoir with mineral water, distilled water, milk, ready made coffee, tea etc.

You can use the coffee jug to fill in the amount of water you require. There is a gauge for 2-10 cups in the water reservoir and on the coffee jug.

The markings apply for the amount of fresh water.

The quantity of coffee produced is lower as the ground coffee absorbs water.

Insert paper filter.

Insert a size 1x4 paper filter in the filter holder (figure 1/C). Please fold the perforated edges before doing this.

Fill in ground coffee.

Please use ground coffee, medium grind. The quantity of coffee is matter of personal taste. For an average strong coffee one measuring spoon (approx. 6-7 g) is sufficient per cup.

Close the lid (figure 1/B).

Place the coffee jug complete with lid onto the hotplate.

Switch on the appliance with the ON/OFF switch (figure 1/E).

The pilot lamp lights up. After a few seconds, hot water flows into the filter. When the water has stopped flowing, the appliance automatically switches to the warming mode.

After use the appliance must be switched off by hand.

Remove the jug.

Whilst boiling, the jug must not be removed for longer than 30 seconds or the filter will overflow.

Once the jug has been removed, the filter valve prevents coffee from dripping onto the hotplate. The hotplate always keeps the coffee hot. It remains on until the appliance is switched off with the ON/OFF switch (figure 1/E) and the pilot lamp goes out.

To guarantee uniform coffee strength it should be stirred in the coffee jug after preparation.

If the water has stopped flowing and you wish to refill water for a fresh jug of coffee, switch the appliance off and allow it to cool down for a few minutes.

Cleaning and Care

Unplug the power cord from the mains socket before cleaning.

To clean the filter holder, swing up the handle and remove the filter holder (figure 3).

To clean the filter valve thoroughly, activate it several times whilst it is being rinsed.

Reinsert filter holder and swing handle down..

Clean the appliance with a damp cloth but never immerse it in water!

Coffee jug and jug lid are dishwasher proof.

Descaling - making your coffee maker last longer

As a precautionary measure, we recommend descaling every three months.

Only use an environmentally friendly descaler and follow the instructions on the packet. Please do not use a descaler with a concentrated formic base, or any descaler in powder form.

Fill the water reservoir with water and only then add the descaler. Not vice versa! Place the coffee jug with its lid onto the hotplate. Allow the descaler to take effect for about 15 minutes, then switch the appliance on. Switch it off when the descaler solution has finished flowing through. If necessary repeat the descaling process. Following this, allow the appliance to run at least twice with plain water. Thoroughly rinse the coffee jug, lid and filter holder under running water, activate the filter valve repeatedly during the rinse process.

Coffee jug

If your coffee jug smashed, you can purchase a new one from your sales dealer or the service centre specifying the model of your coffee maker, see rating plate (figure 1/H).
