Automatic switch-off The control panel display will switch off automatically about 35 minutes after the brewing cycle has been completed, or, if no coffee is made, 60 seconds after the last input. The appliance goes then into stand-by mode. Press any button to return to the ready-mode. Before using for the fi rst time ∙ Unpack the appliance completely and remove all packaging materials and stickers. ∙ Clean the glass carafe, water container, fi lter, ring and bean container lid as described in the section Cleaning and care. ∙ Clean the bean container as described in the section Cleaning and care. ∙ Before making coffee for the fi rst time, let the appliance go through two or three fi ltration cycles using the indicated maximum amount of cold water, but without using ground coffee (see Cleaning and care / Flushing the unit). ∙ This should also be done if the appliance has not been used for an extended period of time, and after descaling. Making coffee - General information ∙ A measuring scale on the water container allows the container to be fi lled with the correct amount of clean water. The left scale is used for standard-sized cups of approx.125ml, while the right scale is used for smaller cups. ∙ Make sure that the indicated maximum amount of water 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. ∙ Important note: When fi lling the appliance with fresh13 water shortly after a brewing cycle is completed, there is a danger of scalding from hot water or steam escaping through the water outlet. Making coffee using whole beans

1. Filling with coffee beans:

Remove the lid of the bean container and fi ll it with a maximum of 100 g of coffee beans. Replace the lid, pushing it fi rmly down.

2. Filling with water:

Remove the water container, open the lid and fi ll it with the desired quantity of water. Close the lid and replace the container. Note: With this method, all the water will be used, and so the water should only be fi lled for the desired number of cups.

3. Inserting the paper fi lter:

Open the swing-out fi lter sideways and insert a size-2 paper fi lter into the fi lter holder, fi rst folding down the perforated sides of the fi lter. Place the fi lter ring on the fi lter insert and close the swing-out fi lter. Hint: Instead of a paper fi lter, a permanent fi lter may also be used. However, a paper fi lter should be used when preparing the full 6 cups.

4. Preparing the glass carafe:

Replace the lid on the carafe, and then place it in the appliance. If correctly inserted, the lid will disable the drip- stop mechanism in the fi lter holder during the brewing cycle.

5. Connecting the appliance:

Insert the power plug. The and buttons light up and the unit is ready for use.

6. Selecting the amount of coffee:

Use the buttons 2, 4, or 6 to select the amount of coffee needed for the number of cups.

7. Selecting the coffee strength:

Use buttons - half bean for mild coffee - full bean for normal coffee to select the coffee strength.

8. Starting the grinding/brewing cycle:

Press to start the grinding/brewing cycle. The appliance grinds the beans and the water starts passing through the fi lter.

9. Removing the glass carafe:

3 beep signals indicate that all the water has passed through the fi lter; the carafe may now be removed.

10. Keeping the coffee warm:

The coffee may be kept warm in the carafe by leaving it standing on the hot-plate, which remains hot for about 35 minutes after brewing is complete.

11. Interrupting the brewing/keeping-warm cycle:

To interrupt the grinding or brewing cycle, or if the keeping- warm function is not needed, use the button to turn the appliance off.

12. Switching off the coffee maker:

Once brewing/keeping-warm is complete, remove the plug from the wall socket. Adjusting the grinding level Note: To prevent damage to the grind mechanism, any such adjustments must be made during the grinding process. Hint: For light-roasted beans, a fi ne grind level is recommended. For dark-roasted beans, a coarser level is better. Details of the roasting process are usually found on the coffee package.

1. Prepare coffee as described in the section Making

coffee using whole beans.

2. While grinding is in progress, adjust the grinding level

to the desired value.

3. By turning the adjustment knob clockwise towards the

small-bean symbol, a fi ner grind is achieved.

4. Turning the knob anti-clockwise towards the large-bean

symbol results in a coarser grind. Using ground coffee

1. Preparing the appliance:

Prepare the appliance as described under points 1 to 5 above - Making coffee using whole beans.

2. Selecting the ground-coffee mode:

3. Starting the brewing cycle:

Press to start the cycle. The water starts passing through the fi lter.

4. Removing the glass carafe:

3 beep signals indicate that the water has passed through the fi lter. Remove the carafe and proceed as described under points 10 to 12 above - Making coffee using whole beans. Note: Once the button is selected, the and buttons cannot be used. The coffee strength is determined by the respective amount of coffee and water used.14 Cleaning and care 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. ∙ Any warranty claim will be null and void if the appliance malfunctions because of insuffi cient descaling. ∙ A lengthening of the brewing time and increased noise during brewing indicate that descaling of the coffee maker has become necessary. ∙ An excessive build-up of lime deposits is very diffi 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: ∙ Mix 40 ml of vinegar essence with the indicated maximum amount of cold water. ∙ Pour the descaling solution into the water container, insert a paper or permanent fi lter without adding any ground coffee, as described in section Using ground coffee, and let the appliance run through one fi ltration cycle. Repeat the procedure if necessary. During descaling, ensure suffi cient ventilation and do not inhale any vinegar vapours. ∙ To clean the appliance after descaling, let it run through 2-3 fi ltration cycles using clean water only (see Cleaning and care /Flushing the unit). ∙ Do not pour descalers down enamel sinks. 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 fi lter, lift out the paper or permanent fi lter and dispose of the grounds (as a natural substance they may be composted). Wipe the inside of the swing-out fi lter with a damp cloth, dry it and close it again. ∙ The glass carafe, water container, fi lter ring and permanent fi lter may be cleaned with warm water after use. Wipe dry afterwards. ∙ Do not put the appliance or any of its accessory parts in a dishwasher. ∙ Clean the bean container frequently with a damp cloth and allow to dry fully. ∙ The area around the ground-coffee/water outlet above the swing-out fi lter must be frequently cleaned of any coffee residues. Open the swing-out fi lter and use a soft brush to clean round the outlet. ∙ If the container is removed with water still in it, there may be a slight return fl ow from the appliance. In such a case, the water emitted must be removed before the container is refi tted. Flushing the unit

1. Filling with water:

Remove water container, open the lid and fi ll in the maximum amount of cold water. Close the lid and replace the container.

2. Preparing the glass carafe:

Fit the lid on the carafe and place it into the appliance.

3. Connecting the appliance:

Insert the plug into the socket.

4. Starting the brewing cycle:

Press the and buttons to start the fl ushing process. The water starts passing through.
