Before Initial Use

I. Wipe the device with a clean, damp cloth. Clean all parts with a little mild detergent and clear water.
2. Set up the device and connect it (see the "Set-Up and Connection" chapter).
3. Before you enjoy your first coffee, we recommend that you carry out a trial run with coffee beans to remove any possible production residues in the water system and in the grinder. To do this, follow the instructions in the “Handling and Operation” and “Preparation” chapters.

When the device is first used, production-related additives may cause a small amount of smoke and / or an odour to be produced. This is normal and not a device defect.

1. Repeat this process twice. Do not drink this coffee!
2. Clean the device and accessories (see the “Cleaning and Care” chapter).

Set-Up and Connection

PLEASE NOTE!

• Only connect the device to a plug socket that is properly installed. The plug socket must also be readily accessible after connection so that the connection to the mains can quickly be isolated. The mains voltage must match the technical data of the device.
• Do not use the device in conjunction with extension cables.
• Lay the connecting cable in such a way that it does not become squashed or bent and does not come into contact with hot surfaces (also applies to the hot surfaces of the device!).
• Do not place the device below kitchen wall units or similar cupboards. The rising steam could cause damage to them!

I. Fully unwind the connecting cable.
2. Place the device on the kitchen unit or another dry, solid, flat, heat-resistant and splash-proof work surface. Ensure there is sufficient clear space on all sides (at least 20 cm to the sides and 30 cm above).
3. Plug the mains plug into a plug socket. You will hear a beep and the operating lamp in the ON/OFF button (19) and the control lamp in the MILD button (15) will light up.

Handling and Operation

Filling the Water Tank

I. Remove the water tank (5).
2. Flip open the water tank lid (3) and pour the quantity of water required for the number of cups you want (maximum 10 cups) into the water tank. Note the MAX marking. Only ever use water to make coffee; do not pour milk or other liquids into the water tank!
3. Close the water tank lid and insert the water tank back into the main device (6). Make sure that it fits correctly!

All of the water in the water tank is always used, regardless of the set number of cups or coffee strength.

Adding Coffee Beans

I. Remove the lid from the coffee bean compartment (I).

Ensure that the water tank (5) is closed so that no coffee beans can fall into the water tank.

1. Fill the coffee bean compartment (2) with coffee beans. Do not overfill it (note the MAX marking (10)!).

2. Place the lid back on the coffee bean compartment.

When you switch to another type of coffee, there will still be coffee powder from the previous type in the grinder shaft. The grinder shaft may need to be cleaned beforehand (see the “Cleaning and Care” chapter – “Cleaning the Grinder Shaft”).

Setting the Grinding Fineness

Move the dial for the grinding fineness (9) to the position you want (fine - coarse).

When you switch to another grinding strength, there will still be coffee powder with the previous grinding strength in the grinder shaft. The grinder shaft may need to be cleaned beforehand (see the “Cleaning and Care” chapter – “Cleaning the Grinder Shaft”).

Inserting the Filter

I. Open the filter compartment (12).
2. Place the filter insert into the filter compartment if necessary.
3. Insert a paper filter (1x4) or similar filter into the filter insert.
4. If the device is to be used with coffee powder, fill the filter.
5. Place the lid on the filter insert.
6. Close the filter compartment again. It must engage.

Setting the Number of Cups

Use the dial (17) to set the number of cups you want (2 - 10 cups). This setting is only required for making coffee with coffee beans.

"Added Flavour" Function

When making coffee with coffee beans, you can choose between mild coffee and strong coffee. When the coffee machine is activated, the setting MILD (15) is automatically selected. The control lamp in the MILD button lights up. If you want to have stronger coffee, press the STARK (strong) button (16). This extends the brewing period and your coffee will have a stronger flavour. The control lamp in the STARK (strong) button lights up.

The “added flavour” function remains saved until the MILD button has been pressed again or the device has been disconnected from the mains power.

Keep-Warm Function

The device has an automatic keep-warm function. The hotplate (14) remains switched on for approx. 35 minutes after each brewing process.

To end the keep-warm function prematurely, press the ON / OFF button (19).

Drip Stop

The device has a drip stop (7) which prevents water from dripping out of the filter insert when the glass jug (13) has been removed from the device.

When the device is in operation, the filter compartment (12) must be closed and the glass jug with the lid placed on it must be placed beneath the filter compartment. The lid of the glass jug pushes the drip stop upwards and the coffee can flow from the filter through the lid into the glass jug.

During the brewing process, the glass jug must not be removed from the device for longer than 30 seconds as otherwise the filter could overflow.

Preparation

PLEASE NOTE!

• The device should only be used if it has been correctly assembled! Before each use, check whether the liter insert and the permanent liter / the basket liter paper are inserted correctly and whether the water tank is lled correctly!
• Do not operate the device without water. If this does happen, the device switches off automatically. In this case, allow the device to cool down before water is poured in and the device is used again.
• Do not use any water that has been in the water tank for longer than 24 hours.
• Never use the device without a suitable jug below the coffee outlet.

Cleaning and Care

PLEASE NOTE!

- Do not use any toxic, corrosive or abrasive cleaning agents or scouring sponges to clean the device. These may damage the surface.

1. Clean the filter insert, its lid and the glass jug (13) after each use with mild detergent and warm water or in the dishwasher.
2. If necessary, wipe the coffee bean compartment (2) and the lid (1) with a damp cloth.
3. Wipe the housing with a damp cloth. If necessary, use a little mild detergent to remove more intense soiling.
4. Check the connecting cable regularly for any damage.

Cleaning the Grinder Shaft

I. Take the coffee beans out of the coffee bean compartment (2) (Apart from the few beans that you cannot reach by hand.)
2. Open the filter compartment (12).
3. Insert a filter (see the "Handling and Operation" chapter – "Inserting the Filter").

1. Close the filter compartment.
2. Press the ON/OFF button (19) to switch on the grinder. The operating lamp in the ON/OFF button and the control lamp in the dial flush.
3. Once the rest of the coffee beans have been ground – you can tell this from the change in the grinding noise – stop the grinding process by pressing the ON / OFF button again.
4. Open the filter compartment and dispose of the filter. The rest of the beans remaining in the grinder shaft should now also be removed.

Descaling

Limescale deposits have an adverse effect not only on the quality of the coffee and the water, but they also cause power losses and shorten the lifespan of the device. The thicker a limescale layer is, the more difficult it is to remove.

We therefore recommend regularly removing limescale deposits with a descaling agent in accordance with the water quality in your area and how often the device is used (approx. every 2 – 6 weeks).

The first indications that descaling is required are a large amount of steam being produced and slower brewing of the coffee.

For descaling we recommend the BEEM Premium Descaler Concentrate. The efficient, food-safe and environmentally friendly BEEM Premium Descaler Concentrate is available from selected specialist stockists, via our website www.beem.de or from our customer service department on request.

Descaling with the BEEM Premium Descaler Concentrate

I. Fill the water tank (5) up to the 8-cup marking with a concentrate/water solution of no more than 1:20 (one part concentrate to 20 parts water).
2. Press the ON/OFF button (19) to start the descaling process. The operating lamp in the ON/OFF button and the control lamp in the dial (17) flash.
3. At the end of the process, you will hear a beep, the operating lamp in the ON / OFF button goes out, and the control lamp in the dial is lit constantly. The device has switched to the keep-warm function. Switch off the device by pressing the ON / OFF button.
4. To rinse the device, allow two tankfuls (10 cups) of clear water to run through it (see the "Preparation" chapter). The device is now descaled and ready to be used again.

Storage

Disconnect the device from the mains power when it is not going to be used for a prolonged period. Clean the device again if necessary (see the “Cleaning and Care” chapter) and let it dry completely.

Store the device and all accessories in a dry, clean, frost-free place that is protected from direct sunlight and cannot be accessed by children or animals.
