IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS Please read these instructions carefully before using the appliance. Only use the appliance in the way indicated in this instruction manual. Should you hand over the appliance to another user, make sure to hand over the instruction manual together with the appliance. Check that your mains voltage corresponds to that stated on the appliance. Never leave your appliance unsupervised when in use. People (including children) who are not able to use the appliance in a safe way, due to their physical, sensorial or mental capacity or their lack of experience or knowledge, must never use the appliance without supervision or instructions of a responsible person. Close supervision is necessary if children are near the appliance in order to avoid that they use it as a toy. From time to time check the appliance and its cord for damages. Never use the appliance if cord or appliance shows any signs of damage. In that case, all repairs should be made by a competent qualified electrician(*). Never use the appliance if it shows visible damage. Only use the appliance for domestic purposes and in the way indicated in these instructions. Never immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid for any reason whatsoever. Never place it into the dishwasher. Never use the appliance near hot surfaces. Never place it on hot surfaces (e.g. hotplates) or near a flame. Before cleaning or storing the appliance, always unplug the appliance from the power supply and let it cool down. Never use the appliance outside and always place it in a dry environment. Never use accessories that are not recommended by the producer. They could constitute a danger to the user and risk to damage the appliance. Never move the appliance by pulling the cord. Stand the appliance on a table or flat surface. Make sure the cord cannot get caught in any way. Do not wind the cord around the appliance and do not bend it. Never touch the hot parts of the appliance (be careful, also the warming plate is a hot part!), only touch the plastic parts and take the jug by the handle. Make sure the appliance never comes into contact with inflammable materials such as curtains, textiles, ... when it is in use as they might catch fire. Never put the appliance on hot surfaces or near a flame, as the housing might melt. Only use fresh cold or lukewarm drinkable water. Never use water coming from a bathtub or wash stand or other containers. Do not use the appliance if the jug is damaged. Use the jug only for this appliance. Handle the jug carefully so that it does not break. Never put the jug on the hotplate or any other hot surface if it is empty or almost empty. Pay attention not to get burned by the steam coming out of the filter during use. When removing lime scale, only use special products for the removal of lime scale. Never use ammonia or any other substance that might damage your health. Only put ground coffee in the filter. Never use your coffee maker without water in it. If you have a programmable coffee maker, make sure to fill it with water before programming it. Important: never put the jug in a microwave oven to warm up the coffee. We will not take any responsibility if you do so.

Fax [phone] Never forget that the coffee coming out of the appliance is very hot. Only move the jug very carefully to avoid splashing.

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.

• When you use your appliance for the first time, pour fresh water into the water tank (without coffee) and switch on the appliance.

• Once all the water has passed through, switch the appliance off and let it cool down. When it is cold enough repeat the process with fresh water. Repeat this process 3 times.

PREPARATION OF COFFEE

• Open the lid of the water tank and the filter holder.

• Pour the desired amount of water into the water tank. Both the glass jug and the scale on the water tank show the amount for normal cups (1 cup = 125 ml) and small cups. Make sure not to overfill by filling maximum 12 (15) cups of water.

• Open the lid of the filter holder.

• Use the permanent filter (included) or insert a paper filter (size 4) in the filter holder and add the desired quantity of ground coffee (approximately 6g per cup, or a teaspoonful).

• Never forget to close the lid before switching on your coffee maker.

• Put the jug with closed lid on the hotplate.

• Switch on the coffee maker by putting the switch in position “1”. The pilot light will be illuminated, indicating that your appliance is in use. Thanks to the keep warm function, your coffee is warmed up as long as the appliance is switched on and the jug is situated on the hotplate.

• When the brewing process is over, remove the jug from the hotplate (the drip stop will prevent dripping); pour the desired amount of coffee and put the jug with the remaining coffee back on the hotplate.

• However, we advise you not to let the appliance switched on more than 2 hours and make sure that you never let an empty jug on the hotplate. The hotplate will only stop heating up when the switch is in OFF position (i.e. position “0”).

DESCALING AND CLEANING

• 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 jug. Just clean it in soapsuds.

• To clean the plastic parts of the appliance, use a damp, non abrasive cloth.

PRACTICAL HINTS 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 descaling frequency depends on the amount of lime in water and therefore can be different from family to family.
