PRIOR TO FIRST USE

Before initial use, after non-using the unit for a long time or after descending it, we recommend to carry out 2 brewing operations for approximately 4 cups as described in the following, but without coffee.

The minimum preparation quantity for coffee is 2 cups, the maximum one is 10 cups.

• Insert the plug into the socket.

The LED-indicator will briefly illuminate and then go out again.

The unit is not switched on yet.

• Press the display on the touch display for 2 seconds.

• You will hear one beep. The unit is now switched on.

• Remove the lid.

IMPORTANT!

If there is still water in the water tank, the remaining water level will be displayed. If it is less than 2 cups, the 2 will flash.

• Fill in the desired amount of water.

• Display of the maximum filling level / maximum water level.

IMPORTANT!

It is also possible to carefully pour water via the opening of the lid with a downward curvature. The water will then flow through the openings in the lid into the water tank.

IMPORTANT!

You can also fill in more water than for the desired amount of cups. It will be used only the amount of water which is required for the respective selection of cups.

• On the display, the number of possible cups will be shown that can be prepared.

Put the lid back onto the water tank again.

• Remove the coffee filter.

• Insert a size 4 paper filter.

• Fill in the desired amount of coffee grounds.

IMPORTANT!

Bore putting the paper filter in, moisten the filter briefly. It contains pores which will then open making it possible that more flavours get into the coffee.

IMPORTANT!

With regard to the amount of ground coffee, we recommend to use per cup one measuring spoon that is full to the brim. That would be about 7 g per cup. Depending on your personal taste, you can also take more or less ground coffee.

Please check to see that the lid is always firmly on the filter jug.

• Put the coffee filter back onto the guide again.

• Ensure that the coffee pot has been inserted.

• Immediately after the brewing operation, remove the paper filter together with the coffee grounds. Before you can start another brewing operation, you must remove the coffee filter once.

IMPORTANT!

If there is remaining quantity of water in the tank, this will be shown to you by indicator lights showing the corresponding number of cups. If there is less water than for 2 cups in the tank, there will only flash the 2 on the display.

TANK EMPTYING

In order to empty the tank, please touch the number of cups display 2, for about 5 seconds until it beeps twice.

Make sure that the empty coffee filter has been inserted and the coffee pot with lid stand on the hotplate.

DESCALING REMINDER

If you touch the number of cups display 2 - 10 after 60 cycles, the numbers from 2 to 10 will illuminate one by one. The process is repeated twice. The unit will indicate that it should be descaled.

After 70 cycles, the device must be descaled. The display 4 will flash fast; coffee cannot be prepared any longer.

DESCALING FUNCTION

If you regularly decalcify the unit, this will increase its service life. For decalcifying, exclusively use Graef descaling tablets which are matched to our units. You can obtain them from our online shop on haushalt.graef.de/service/shop/ under article number 145618 or from your specialist dealer.
