Features and accessories

Technical features and accessories depend on the coffee maker model. Please follow the descriptions and illustrations on the packaging of your appliance.

Before using for the first time

Before making coffee for the first time, let the appliance go through two or three filtration cycles using the indicated maximum amount of cold water, but without using ground coffee. This should also be done if the appliance has not been used for an extended period of time, and after descaling.

General information

- - The markings on the water reservoir and/or on the jug help you to measure the amount of water needed to prepare the required number of cups of coffee. If your appliance comes with a double graduation scale, the one on the left-hand side corresponds to medium-sized cups with a capacity of approx. 125 ml, the one on the right-hand side to smaller-sized coffee cups. Take care not to exceed the indicated maximum number of cups.

• Caution: the hot water outlet is integrated in the water reservoir lid. Do not attempt to open the lid while brewing is in progress, as the hot water outlet will be exposed: there is a danger of scalding.
  ● Always switch off and allow the coffee maker to cool down for about 5 minutes before it is switched don again.
  ● Warning! Be careful not to fill water into the reservoir immediately after a brewing cycle is complete as hot steam may escape from the water nozzle.

To prepare filter coffee

- Filling the water reservoir

Open the water reservoir lid and fill the reservoir with the required amount of fresh cold water.

- Inserting the paper filter

Insert a size-4 paper filter, first folding down the perforated sides of the filter.

- Adding ground coffee

We recommend using fine ground filter coffee, approximately 6 g = 1^1/2 - 2 tsp. per medium-sized cup (125 ml). Close the reservoir lid afterwards.

- Preparing the jug

Place the jug lid or the drip-through lid onto the jug. Fitted correctly, the lid will disable the drip-stop mechanism in the filter during the brewing cycle.

- Starting the filtering process

Plug in the appliance and switch on. The filtering process begins.

- Removing the jug

When the filtering process is complete, i.e. all water has run through the filter holder into the jug, remove the jug to serve the coffee.

- Switching off the appliance

Once the filtering process is complete, switch off the appliance and unplug from the mains supply socket.

Coffee maker with hotplate:

The hotplate will keep remaining coffee warm as long as you leave it switched on. Switch the appliance off after use.

Coffee maker with drip-through lid

During the filtering process and while pouring the coffee out, the drip-through lid does not need to be removed and should remain on the jug. To pour the coffee, press the lever on the lid down to open it, when the coffee may now pass out through the spout.

Coffee maker with vacuum jug

• For technical reasons the screw cap does not close hermetically. Therefore always hold the jug in an upright position.
• A vacuum jug accumulates heat energy. Therefore the jug should preferably be filled to its maximum capacity. If it is only partly filled, the temperature will not be held as efficiently. If you rinse out the jug with hot water before use, the coffee will be kept warm for a longer time.

Vacuum jug with glass flask

The glass flask of the jug is made of high quality double-walled glass with a vacuum in-between for better insulation. Any marks inside the jug looking like bubbles or scratches do not affect its use nor its ability to keep the temperature.

In case the glass is damaged for one or the other reason as mentioned below, there is a risk that the glass flask implodes. This might happen quite some time after the glass flask has actually been damaged.

● Therefore do not drink out of the jug and do not put your hand into it. Always close the jug with its screw cap. The

coffee can be poured out easily by half a turn of the cap, without removing the cap. Do not leave the vacuum jug unattended near where children may reach it.

To prevent damage to the glass flask:

• Avoid shocks and great differences in temperature.
• Do not stir in the jug, for example with a metal spoon.
• Do not use hard brushes or abrasive cleaning agents.
• Do not wipe the inside with a cloth. Dust particles may cut the glass (similar to a glass-cutter).
• Do not wash in a dishwasher.
• Do not use in a microwave oven.

Descaling

● To keep the coffee maker in excellent working order, we recommend that you descale the appliance at regular intervals.
- Descaling is required when the filtering process takes longer than normal, or if the appliance becomes noisy during operation.
● To avoid damage caused by the build-up of deposits, descale the appliance after thirty to forty operations. We recommend using vinegar for descaling.
- Add two to three tablespoons of vinegar essence to the maximum amount of cold water.
- Pour this mixture into the water reservoir. Place a paper filter into the filter holder (without ground coffee) and operate the appliance as described in section To prepare filter coffee. Repeat the descaling process if necessary. Ventilate the room during the descaling process and do not breathe in the vinegar vapours.
- To cleanse the appliance after descaling, operate it a further three times with cold fresh water only (without using ground coffee).
- Do not pour descalers into enamelled

sinks.

Cleaning and care

• Remove the plug from the wall socket and allow the appliance to cool before cleaning.
  ● To avoid the risk of electric shock, never immerse the coffee maker in water. Wipe the coffee maker with a clean damp cloth and dry afterwards.

- Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners.

- To remove the coffee grounds, open the water reservoir lid and lift up the folding handle of the filter insert, then remove the insert by pushing it lightly towards the reservoir and lifting it out by its folding handle. Dispose of the coffee grounds (as a natural substance, they may be composted). Rinse out the filter insert. Afterwards, replace the filter insert and lock it by pushing it down. Fold down the handle and close the water reservoir lid.

Coffee maker with glass jug:

• Clean the glass jug in warm soapy water and dry afterwards.
• Glass jug and jug lid are dishwasher safe.
• Every time the coffee maker is used, ensure that the handle of the glass carafe is properly and securely fitted. If necessary, the metal ring may be tightened by means of the screw in the handle.

Coffee maker with vacuum jug:

• Do not dismantle the jug, do not wash in a dishwasher and do not immerse it in water.
• Rinse the inside of the jug with water and wipe the outside with a clean damp cloth after use.
• To remove coffee deposits from the inside of the vacuum jug, fill the jug with hot water and add a tablespoon of dishwasher detergent. Close the screw cap and leave the jug for some hours. Rinse out thoroughly with water

afterwards.

- To clean the drip-through lid, place it on the jug and allow the water or cleaning solution (after it has cleaned out the jug itself) to pass out through the lid.

Disposal

Do not dispose of old or defective appliances in domestic garbage; this should only be done through public collection points.
