3. To clean the inside, operate the coffee maker twice running without coffee. To do this, follow the instructions in the next section.
4. For a perfect taste, carry out 2 or 3 boil-processes with fresh water (without coffee). Once all the water has passed through, switch off the appliance and let it cool down during 5 minutes. Then repeat the process with fresh water.

3/ USING YOUR APPLIANCE

A. Making coffee

• Open the reservoir lid and fill the reservoir with fresh, cold water up to the level corresponding to the desired number of cups of coffee.
• Do not exceed the maximum level of the reservoir.
• Open the filter holder lid and place the paper filter into the filter holder.
• Fill the paper filter with the required amount of ground coffee and close the filter holder lid. We suggest one level tablespoonful of coffee per cup of coffee. Once you have used the coffee maker several times, you will be able to adjust the amount of coffee according to your taste.
• Place the jug with its lid duly in place, onto the hot plate. The jug will open the anti-drip valve when placed correctly onto the plate; otherwise the filtered coffee will not pass into the jug and the filter may overflow.
• Plug the appliance in and turn the coffee maker on by pressing the on/off switch. The indicator light will come on. The water will begin to filter through the coffee maker, pouring the coffee into the jug.
• Once the coffee is ready, the hot plate will keep the coffee hot for two hours. If there is no need to preserve heat, press ON/OFF button and the unit will stop working.
  Unplug the coffee maker.

The coffee maker is fitted with an anti-drip system; this prevents the coffee from dripping onto the plate when the jug is not properly in place.

B. Tips for good coffee

To give the coffee a better flavour and aroma, we advise you to use freshly ground coffee. Medium-ground coffee should be used; it should not be too finely ground. Store the coffee in a dry place. Once the packet of coffee has been opened, it can be kept well-sealed in the

refrigerator in order to maintain its aroma. This coffee maker will keep the coffee hot by means of the hot plate, but for best results, drink the coffee as soon as it has been made.

A. Cleaning the coffee maker

• Before cleaning the coffee maker, turn it off, unplug the coffee maker and wait for it to cool down.
• Clean the hot plate with a cloth which has been moistened with soapy water.
• To remove the lid from the jug, push the hinge part of the lid to one side.
• Turn and lift the other side, the pin will spring out of the hinge and you will be able to remove the lid.
• Wash the filter holder, the jug and the jug lid in soapy water or in the dishwasher, rinse well and dry the parts before reassembling them.

To remove stains from the jug, rub with bicarbonate of soda or a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, fill the jug with hot water; add 2 spoonfuls of dishwasher detergent and leave to soak for several hours.

• Wash and rinse the jug well.
• Clean the outside of the coffee maker with a damp cloth.

• Do not use detergents or abrasive products to clean the coffee maker.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water or in any other liquid.
