Should the appliance, for instance, have been dropped onto a hard surface, or if excessive force has been used to pull the power cord, it must no longer be used: even invisible damage may have adverse effects on the operational safety of the appliance. ∙ During operation, the coffee 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. ∙ To prevent the danger of hot water or steam being emitted, always switch off the coffee maker and allow suffi cient time for the appliance to cool down before it is opened or any accessories or attachments are removed. ∙ Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. ∙ Remove the plug from the wall socket - in case of any malfunction, - during cleaning, - if the appliance is not being used for an extended period of time. ∙ 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. ∙ No responsibility will be accepted if damage results from improper use, or if these instructions are not complied with. Automatic switch-off To save energy, the appliance will switch itself off automatically after the brewing cycle is complete. Before using for the fi rst time Before making coffee for the fi rst time,12 let the appliance go through two or three fi ltration 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 ∙ A measuring scale on the water container facilitates fi lling the container with the correct amount of clean water. With a dual-scale, the left scale is used for regular-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. ∙ Caution: the hot water outlet is integrated in the water container lid. Do not attempt to open the lid while brewing is in progress: there is a danger of scalding. ∙ If several consecutive brewing cycles are required, allow the appliance to cool down for 5 minutes or so after each cycle. ∙ Important note: When fi lling the appliance with fresh 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 ∙ Filling with water: Open the water container lid and fi ll the container with the required quantity of water. ∙ Inserting the paper fi lter: Open the swing-out fi lter and insert a size-4 paper fi lter, fi rst folding down the perforated sides of the fi lter. ∙ Filling with ground coffee: For each regular-sized cup (125ml), a measure of about 6 g (= 1½ - 2 teaspoons) of medium or fi nely ground coffee will be required. Close the water container lid afterwards. ∙ Preparing the glass carafe: Fit the aroma protection lid or the drip- through 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 swing-out fi lter during the brewing cycle. ∙ Starting the brewing cycle: Put the plug into a suitable wall outlet and use the On/Off button to turn the coffee maker on. The fi ltration cycle starts and the water passes through the fi lter. ∙ Removing the glass carafe: Wait until all the water has passed through the fi lter before the carafe is removed from the appliance. To keep the coffee hot for as long as possible, remove the aroma protection lid and use the screw-in lid to close the carafe. However, this is not necessary if your coffee maker has a drip- through lid, which can remain on the carafe. Once the brewing cycle is complete, the appliance switches off automatically. ∙ Switching off the coffee maker: Always remove the plug from the wall outlet once brewing is complete. ∙ Interrupting the brewing cycle: The brewing cycle can be interrupted by pressing the On/Off button again. Coffee maker with drip-through lid During the fi ltering 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, turn the lid counter-clockwise about half a turn so that the arrow on the lid is aligned with the pouring spout.13 Heat-retaining carafe ∙ For technical reasons the screw-in lid does not close hermetically. Therefore always hold the carafe in an upright position when fi lled with coffee. ∙ Keeping the coffee hot: A heat- conserving carafe accumulates heat energy. Therefore the carafe should preferably be fi lled to its maximum capacity. If it is only partly fi lled, the temperature will not be held as effi ciently. If you rinse out the carafe with hot water before use, the coffee will be kept warm for a longer time. The interior of the heat-retaining carafe insert consists of high quality double-walled glass with a vacuum in-between for better insulation. Any streaks or bubble marks inside the carafe looking like bubbles or scratches do not affect its functional use nor its heat-retaining ability. In case the glass is damaged for one or the other reason as mentioned below, there is a risk that the glass carafe implodes. This might happen quite some time after the glass carafe has actually been damaged. ∙ Therefore do not drink out of the carafe and do not put your hand into it. Always close the carafe 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 carafe unattended near where children may reach it. To prevent damage to the glass carafe: ∙ Avoid shocks and great differences in temperature. ∙ Do not stir in the carafe, 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 ∙ 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 80 ml of vinegar essence with the indicated maximum amount of cold water. ∙ Pour the descaling solution into the water container, insert a paper fi lter into the fi lter holder without adding any ground coffee as described in section Making coffee, and let the appliance run through one fi ltration cycle. Repeat the procedure if necessary. During descaling, ensure14 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. ∙ 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 clean the appliance with liquids or immerse it. 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 coffee grounds, open the swing-out fi lter and remove it. Dispose of the ground coffee (as a natural substance, it may be compo-sted). Rinse out the swing-out fi lter, replace and close it. ∙ Do not dismantle the carafe, do not wash in a dishwasher and do not immerse it in water. ∙ Rinse the inside of the carafe with water and wipe the outside with a clean damp cloth after use. ∙ To remove coffee deposits from the inside of the carafe, fi ll it with hot water and add a teaspoon of dishwasher detergent. Close the screw-in lid and leave the carafe for some hours. Rinse out thoroughly with water afterwards. ∙ The drip-through lid may be cleaned with hot soapy water; rinse thoroughly with fresh water afterwards.
