Note About the Brewing Process During the brewing process and depending on the degree of grinding and the used amount, the coffee powder absorbs a certain amount of water. That is why the quantity of coffee might diverge from the quantity of water in the water tank. European Regulations on Energy Saving NOTE: The European Directive 2009 / 125 / EC (Ecodesign Direc- tive) incorporates measurements for energy saving. The following applies to coffee makers: The keep-warm period is limited to max. 40 minutes after which the appli- ance turns off automatically. You benet from better safety and lower energy con- sumption. Electric Connection

1. Ensure that your mains power corresponds with the

specications of the appliance. The specications are printed on the type label.PC-K A1152_IM 04.05.18

2. Connect the mains cable to a properly installed and

earthed wall outlet. Indicator Light The indicator light indicates the functions. Light blue = the beans are being ground Light red = brewing operation; warming phase Function Selector Switch Symbol Meaning Brew coffee with coffee powder OFF Appliance turned off Coffee beans are ground coarsely (strong coffee)

Coffee beans are ground nely (mild coffee) Coffee Beans CAUTION: Use only roasted coffee beans for grinding. Coffee beans that are raw, frozen or placed in liquid may damage the grinder. Selection of Fineness of Grinding Whether you grind the coffee nely or coarsely depends on your preference. The type of coffee beans and the roasting process have an additional impact on the taste.

• Fill the striking mechanism with only as much coffee beans as required for one cooking process.

• We recommend one measuring spoon of coffee beans for one cup of water (100 ml). Initial Operation Operate the appliance 2 times with clean water before brewing coffee for the rst time.
