Make sure that the indicated maximum amount of water or number of cups is not exceeded.
If several consecutive brewing cycles are required, switch off the coffee maker after each cycle and let the appliance cool down for approx. 5 minutes.
- Caution: When filling the appliance with fresh water shortly after a brewing cycle is completed, there is a danger of scalding from hot water or steam escaping through the water outlet.

To interrupt the brewing cycle, or if the keeping-warm function is not needed, press the On/Off button twice to turn the appliance off.
Recipes
Are you in the mood for some delicious coffee specialities?

Depending on the water quality (lime content) in your area as well as the frequency of use, all thermal household appliances using hot water need descaling (i.e. removal of lime deposits) on a regular basis to warrant proper functioning.
- Any warranty claim will be null and void if the appliance malfunctions because of insufficient descaling.
- A lengthening of the brewing time, increased noise during brewing or residual water remaining in the container indicate that descending has become necessary.
- An excessive build-up of lime deposits is very difficult to remove, even when strong descending agents are used.
- After 100 brewing cycles, the display shows Descale. The appliance needs descaling as described below. Once descaling is complete, the Descale indicator goes out.
- Descaling must not be done right away, but should be done soonest. The Descale indicator may be cancelled by simultaneously pressing and holding the h and min buttons for around 3 seconds. A new reminder will be issued only after a further 100 brewing cycles.
- Descaling may also be initiated at any time prior to the Descale indicator showing.
The descending process
- For descending, a vinegar solution may be used as follows:
- Mix 80ml of vinegar essence with the indicated maximum amount of cold water.
- Pour the descending solution into the water container. Insert a paper filter without adding any ground coffee.
- Press the ① and PROG buttons simultaneously, keeping them pressed for around 3 seconds. The display shows Descale. The descending cycle starts. To ensure thorough descending, the water is heated in intervals.
- Switch the unit off once the descending solution has passed through the system completely.
- Repeat the procedure if necessary.
- During descending, ensure sufficient ventilation and do not inhale any vinegar vapours.
To clean the appliance after descaling, let it run through 2-3 filtration cycles using clean water only. - Do not pour descalers down enamel sinks.
Daily cleaning
- Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is disconnected from the power supply and has cooled down completely.
- To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not clean the appliance with liquids or immerse it; do not clean under running tap water. The appliance may be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth, using a mild detergent. Wipe dry afterwards.
- Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions.
To remove the used coffee grounds, open the swing-out filter, lift out the paper filter and dispose of the grounds (as a natural substance they may be composted). Wipe the inside of the swing-out filter with a damp cloth, dry it and close it again. - The jug with lid and the filter insert may be cleaned with warm water or in a dishwasher after use.
- For easy cleaning, open the jug lid and remove it by pulling it up. Replace it after cleaning, applying light pressure.
