Cable storage compartment
There is a cable storage compartment at the rear of the appliance. Pull out the cord to the required length before use.
Automatic switch-off
To save energy, the appliance will switch itself off automatically after the brewing cycle is complete.
Before using for the first time
Before making coffee for the first time, let the appliance go through two or three filtration 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
- Depending on the appliance model, the water container shows one or two measuring scales to facilitate filling the container with the correct amount of clean water. The left scale is used for regular-sized cups of approx. 125 ml, while the right scale is used for smaller cups. Make sure that the indicated maximum amount of water is not exceeded.
- Caution: 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 filling 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 lid and fill the container with the required quantity of water.
- Inserting the paper filter:
Open the swing-out filter and insert a size-4 paper filter, first folding down the perforated sides of the filter.
• Filling with ground coffee:
For each regular-sized cup (125 ml), a measure of about 6 g (= 1½ - 2 teaspoons) of medium or finely ground coffee will be required. Close the swing-out filter and the lid afterwards.
• Preparing the carafe:
Fit the drip-through lid onto the carafe, and close it so that the two arrow marks are facing each other. Place the carafe into the appliance. If correctly inserted, the lid will disable the drip-stop mechanism in the swing-out filter 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 filtration cycle starts and the water passes through the filter. Shortly after completion of the brewing process, the appliance switches off automatically.
- Removing the carafe:
Wait until all the water has passed through the filter before the carafe is removed from the appliance.
To pour the coffee, turn the lid counterclockwise about half a turn so that the arrow on the lid is aligned with the pouring spout.
After serving, turn the lid clockwise until the two arrows are facing each other.
- 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.
Heat-retaining carafe
- For technical reasons the screw-in lid does not close hermetically. Therefore always hold the carafe in an upright position when filled with coffee.
- Keeping the coffee hot: A heat-conserving carafe accumulates heat energy. Therefore, the carafe should
preferably be filled to its maximum capacity. If it is only partly filled, the temperature will not be held as efficiently. 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 carafe implodes. This might happen quite some time after the carafe has actually been damaged.
- Therefore do not drink out of the carafe and do not put your hand into it.
To prevent damage to the carafe:
- Avoid shocks and great differences in temperature.
- Do not use any metal or other hard objects (eg a metal spoon) to stir in the carafe.
- 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 insufficient descaling.
- A lengthening of the brewing time, residual water remaining in the container or increased noise during brewing indicate that descaling of the coffee maker has become necessary.
- An excessive build-up of lime deposits is very difficult 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.
- 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 filter into the filter holder without adding any ground coffee as described in section Making coffee, and let the appliance run through one filtration cycle. Repeat the procedure if necessary. During descaling, ensure sufficient ventilation and do not inhale any vinegar vapours.
- To clean the appliance after descaling, let it run through 2-3 filtration 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 used ground coffee, swing open the swing-out filter and take it out. The coffee grounds can be composted.
- Rinse the swing-out filter in clean water.
- Finally, replace the swing-out filter and swing it shut.
- 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, fill 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.
