Important safety instructions Before using the appliance, the user should read the following instructions ✦ carefully. Before the appliance is used, the main body as well as any attachment tted ✦ should be checked thoroughly for any defects. Should the appliance, for instance, have been dropped onto a hard surface, it must not be used any longer: even invisible damage may have adverse e ects on the operational safety of the appliance. Before use, make sure that the handle of the glass carafe is properly and ✦ securely tted. If necessary, the metal ring may be tightened by means of the screw in the handle. During operation, the co ee maker must be placed on a level, non-slip ✦ surface, impervious to splashes and stains. Do not allow the appliance or its power cord to touch hot surfaces or to come ✦ into contact with any heat sources. Do not leave the appliance unattended while in use. ✦ The hot-plate becomes very hot during operation. ✦ To prevent the danger of hot water or steam being emitted, always switch ✦ o the co ee maker and allow su cient time for the appliance to cool down before it is opened or any accessories or attachments are removed. Always remove the plug from the wall socket ✦

GBin case of any malfunction, ✦ after use, and also ✦ before cleaning the appliance. ✦ When removing the plug from the wall socket, never pull on the power cord; ✦ always grip the plug itself. Do not allow the power cord to hang free; the cord must be kept well away ✦ from hot parts of the appliance. This appliance is not intended for use by any person (including children) ✦ with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lacking experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the ✦ appliance. Caution: ✦ Keep any packaging materials well away from children, as they are a potential source of danger e.g. from su ocation. Use only original accessory parts; the use of any attachments other than ✦ those provided by the manufacturer may cause serious hazards to the user. This appliance is intended for domestic use only and not for commercial ✦ applications. No responsibility will be accepted if damage results from improper use, or if ✦ these instructions are not complied with. In order to comply with safety regulations and to avoid hazards, repairs of ✦ electrical appliances must be carried out by quali ed personnel, including the replacement of the power cord. If repairs are needed, please send the appliance to one of our customer service departments. The addresses can be found in the appendix to this manual. Before using for the first time Before making co ee for the rst time, let the appliance go through two or three ltration cycles using the indicated maximum amount of cold water, but without using ground co ee. This should also be done if the appliance has not been used for an extended period of time, and after descaling. General information A measuring scale on the water container and on the glass carafe facilitates ✦ lling the container with the correct amount of clean water. Make sure that the indicated maximum amount of water is not exceeded. If several consecutive brewing cycles are required, switch o the co ee maker ✦ after each cycle and let the appliance cool down for approx. 5 minutes. Important note: ✦ When lling the appliance with fresh water shortly after a brewing cycle is completed, there is a danger of scalding from hot water or 8steam escaping through the water outlet. Making coffee Filling with water: ✦ Open the water container lid, ll the container with the desired quantity of water and replace the lid. Inserting the paper lter: ✦ Open the swing-out lter sideways and insert a size-4 paper lter into the lter insert, rst folding down the perforated sides of the lter. Filling with ground co ee: ✦ For each regular-sized cup (125ml), a measure of about 6 g (= 1½ - 2 teaspoons) of medium or nely ground co ee will be required. Close the swing-out lter afterwards. Preparing the glass carafe: ✦ Fit the lid onto the carafe, and then place the carafe into the appliance. If correctly inserted, the lid will disable the drip-stop mechanism in the lter holder during the brewing cycle. Starting the brewing cycle: ✦ Insert the plug into a suitable wall outlet and use the On/O switch to switch the co ee maker on. The ltration cycle starts and the water passes through the lter. Removing the glass carafe: ✦ Wait until all the water has passed through the lter before the carafe is removed from the appliance. Switching o the co ee maker: ✦ The co ee may be kept warm inside the carafe by leaving it standing on the hot-plate. The plate is kept warm until the appliance is switched o . Always switch o the appliance after use and remove the plug from the wall socket. Descaling 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. A lengthening of the brewing time and increased noise during brewing ✦ indicate that descaling of the co ee maker has become necessary. An excessive build-up of lime deposits is very di cult to remove, even when ✦ strong descaling agents are used. It may also cause the brewing system to leak. We therefore strongly recommend descaling the appliance after each thirty to forty brewing cycles. For descaling, a vinegar solution may be used as follows: 9Mix 2-3 tablespoons of vinegar with the indicated maximum amount of ✦ cold water. Pour the descaling solution into the water container, insert a paper lter into ✦ the lter holder without adding any ground co ee as described in section Making co ee, and let the appliance run through one ltration cycle. Repeat the procedure if necessary. During descaling, ensure su cient ventilation and do not inhale any vinegar vapours. To clean the appliance after descaling, let it run through 2-3 ltration cycles ✦ using clean water only. Do not pour descalers down enamel sinks. ✦ Cleaning and care 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 immerse the co ee maker in 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 ground co ee, open the swing-out lter and lift out the ✦ lter insert. Dispose of the ground co ee (as a natural substance, it may be composted). Rinse out the lter insert. Afterwards, replace the lter insert and close the swing-out lter. The glass carafe may be cleaned with warm water after use. Wipe dry ✦ afterwards Both glass carafe and lid are dish-washer safe. ✦ Disposal Do not dispose of old or defective appliances in domestic garbage, but only through public collection points.
