4.1 Flushing the appliance

Open the lid (Fig. 3).

Fill the water tank with fresh cold water up to the MAX indication (Fig. 4). Close the lid. Put the jug on the hotplate. Do not put a filter and ground coffee in the filter holder. Press the on/off switch to switch on the appliance. (Fig. 5) •• HD7448:The power-on light goes on. Let the appliance operate until all water has run into the jug. Press the on/off switch to switch off the appliance. Let the appliance cool down for at least 3 minutes before you start to brew coffee.

Open the lid (Fig. 3).

Fill the water tank with fresh cold water up to the required level (Fig. 6). •• The indications on the left side of the water level window correspond to large cups (120ml). •• The indications on the right side of the water level window correspond to small cups (80ml). Close the lid. Place the jug on the hotplate.

Make sure you place the jug properly on the hotplate.

If you do not place the jug properly on the hotplate, the drip stop prevents the coffee from flowing into the jug and the filter. As a result, the filter may overflow. Open the filter holder (Fig. 7). Take a paper filter (type 1x4 or no. 4) and fold the sealed edges to prevent tearing and folding. D Note: Some versions come with a permanent filter. In this case you do not need to use paper filters. Put the paper filter or the permanent filter in the filter holder.
