INTENDED USE
The coffee machine is intended to be used to prepare filter coffee.
The appliance is to be used for domestic purposes only and must not be used commercially.
The coffee machine is suitable for contact with foodstuffs.
If the appliance is used for any purpose other than its intended use, or if it is operated incorrectly, severe injuries may occur or the appliance may be damaged. All warranty and liability claims will be rendered null and void in this case.
FUNCTIONS
The coffee machine can make up to 8 cups of 125 ml of filter coffee. The water level indicator on the water tank indicates the number of cups that can be made.
The appliance's water tank and brewing system are located above the filter. Having the water tank located this close to the filter reduces heat loss and therefore also energy loss.
The thermal jug is lined with a stainless steel vacuum cylinder, which means it can be used both to keep the coffee warm and as a serving jug. The thermal jug holds up to 1 litre of coffee.
The coffee machine automatically switches off after the brewing process is complete. The time it takes to switch off depends on how much limescale has built up in the appliance and how many cupfuls are currently running through it.
Standby power consumption is 0 watt.
The appliance's automatic lime-scale detection feature prevents premature wear and tear as well as increased energy consumption due to the build-up of limescale deposits on the appliance's components.
BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME
Preparation
Remove the appliance carefully from the packaging. Remove all packaging components and keep them in a safe place along with the packaging itself.
When disposing of the packaging parts later, please observe the statutory regulations governing proper disposal.

- If the drip stop of the filter holder (14) is not leak-proof, rinse it under running water.
Occasional cleaning
- In case of heavy soiling, place a dishwasher tablet in the thermal jug and add hot water.
- Leave the mixture for several hours (e.g. overnight) to take effect.
• Empty the thermal jug and then rinse it out several times with clear water.
De-scaling
De-scale your coffee machine regularly. Regular de-scaling saves energy. The frequency with which you need to de-scale depends on the hardness of the water in your local area.
The following signs indicate that your coffee machine needs to be de-scaled:
- The appliance switches off automatically, even though there is still some water in the water tank (3) (automatic lime-scale detection feature).
– There is visible lime-scale build-up in the water tank and in the riser tube (4)
– The brewing process is noticeably longer.
– The brewing process is noisier than usual.
– A significant amount of steam escapes during the brewing process.
To de-scale the appliance, follow the steps below:
- Insert an empty paper filter into the filter holder (14) to catch the limescale.
- Mix 1.1 litres of de-scaling solution following the manufacturer's instructions (if using vinegar or lemon essence, mix 1 part essence and 2 parts water).
- Fill the water tank with de-scaling solution up to the "max" level shown on the water level indicator (5).
- Switch the appliance on using the power switch (6).
- Allow approx. two cupfuls to run through the appliance before switching it off.
-
Leave the de-scaling solution to take effect for 20 to 30 minutes.
-
Switch the appliance on again and allow the remaining de-scaling solution to run through it. Note:
The appliance may switch off automatically, even though there is still some de-scaling solution in the water tank. If this happens, leave the solution to take effect again and then switch the appliance back on. - Rinse twice with fresh water (see “Cleaning the appliance” under “Before using the appliance for the first time”).
- Repeat the de-scaling process if necessary.
