• For a perfect taste, carry out 2 or 3 boil-processes with fresh water (without coffee). These boil-processes are absolutely necessary.

• Once all the water has passed through, switch the appliance off and let it cool down during 5 minutes. Then repeat the process with fresh water.

• Open the lid of the water tank and pour the desired volume of water in it. Make sure not to overfill by filling maximum 8 cups of water. The number of cups can be read from the water level indicator (7).

• Insert a paper filter (size 4) in the filter holder and add the desired quantity of ground coffee (1 teaspoon per cup, approximately 6g).

• Do never forget to close the lid of the water tank (4) before switching on the device. Attention : close the lid properly (you should hear a click sound).

• Put the thermos flask (1) with closed lid on the supporting plate.

• To switch on the machine, put the switch in position "I" and its pilot light will come on, indicating that the appliance is working.

• When the brewing process is over, remove the thermos flask from the supporting plate and pour the desired amount of coffee, keeping the lever of the trickle- through lid pressed down.

• When you remove the thermos flask from the appliance, a non-drip valve will automatically operate to stop any drops of coffee dripping onto the hotplate. Replacement of the thermos flask automatically opens the non-drip valve and allows remaining coffee to filter through into the thermos flask.

• Wait until the brewing process is finished and the filter has run empty. Switch off the appliance by putting the ON/OFF switch in position “0” and unplug it.

• The thermos flask allows you to keep the coffee warm for quite some time. Practical hints:

• When the water tank is empty, wait a few additional minutes, as some water might still drip out of the filter.

• To keep the coffee warm, remove the flask from the appliance, as then the cap will close itself hermetically.

DECALCIFICATION AND CLEANING

• When you notice that the coffee making process is longer than it should be, it is probably time to decalcify the appliance. Do not wait until the situation gets worse. The decalcifying frequency depends on the amount of lime in water and therefore can be different from family to family. Therefore it is important to pay attention to this.

• We advise you to descale the coffee maker to prolong its life span. For descaling only use products especially made for descaling of coffee makers and follow their instruction manual. Then rinse the appliance twice with fresh water, without coffee powder. Guarantee claims will not be accepted for appliances that have not been descaled.

• Never use a dishwasher to clean the appliance or its accessories. Just clean the thermos flask in soapsuds.

• To clean the plastic parts of the appliance, use a damp, non abrasive cloth.7 TKG KA 520.1
