~ Never put fluids other than fresh drink- ing water into the coffee machine.

The filter holder|12 has an anti-drip valve|11. This ensures that no coffee drips out of the filter when you remove the pot|7. In order to ensure that the anti-drip valve|11 opens during the brewing process, it is im- portant that the filter holder|12 is inserted correctly and the pot|7 with its lid |8 closed is positioned completely in the coffee ma- chine. The fitted lid|8 of the pot|7 opens the anti-drip valve|11. Other- wise the filter can overflow.

7.2 Opening and closing the

lid In order that the appliance can work correct- ly, it is important that the pot|7 is placed in the coffee machine and that the lid|8 is closed.

Always fill the water tank at least up to the marking for 2 cups (2). Do not fill with water above the10 MAX marking in the water tank.

2. Only fill fresh, cold tap water into the

water tank|2. Hot or carbonated water can result in malfunctions. Fill the water tank|2 with water up to the desired marking (maximum 10 cups: 10 MAX).

8. Place ground coffee powder into the

permanent filter|14. For medium- strength coffee, put one coffee spoon (around 7 - 8 g) of ground coffee pow- der per cup into the filter. Use ground coffee powder for filter coffee. If you grind the coffee yourself, grind it to a medium grinding degree. NOTE: you can also use a paper filter. In this case, the permanent filter|14 must not be inserted, however. Place a paper filter (size 1x4) with folded sides directly into the filter holder|12. When it is folded, the pa- per filter fits better in the filter holder|12 and the seams are prevented from tearing.

Time intervals for descaling The intervals for descaling are dependent on the hardness of the water, and how often you use the device. Where the hardness of the water is medium or high, we recommend descaling monthly. If using tap water, you can find out the hard- ness of the water in the area where you live by inquiring at your local waterworks. After some time, the boiling process will re- sult in limescale being deposited in parts of the coffee machine (depending on the hard- ness of the water used). You should remove this at regular intervals, because otherwise the power consumption of the device will in- crease.

1. Turn off the coffee machine and allow it

to cool down completely.

2. Place the descaling agent into the water

tank|2. Use a liquid, environmentally friendly descaling agent based on citric acid, and follow the instructions of the manufacturer.
