3. OPERATION

Coffee brewing

1. Lift the water tank cover and fill it with potable water.
2. Place three tablespoons of fine ground coffee or four tablespoons of regular ground coffee in the reusable mesh filter to make one cup of coffee.

Note: regular ground coffee requires more coffee per cup to reach the intensity of fine ground coffee.

ENGLISH

1. Gently shake the mesh filter to distribute the coffee evenly.
2. Place the mesh filter in the filter holder, then put the filter holder in the brewing unit.
3. Close the water tank cover.
4. Tilt the cup and place it on the base.
5. Insert the power plug into a wall socket.
6. Press the power button and the indicator light will light up, indicating that the machine is in operation.

Warning: do not open the water tank cover during the brewing cycle, as it may burn.

1. Allow the coffee to drip from the brewing unit into the cup before removing it.

Note: as the coffee grounds absorb some of the water during brewing, the amount of coffee brewed will be slightly less than the amount of water in the tank.

1. Once the brewing cycle is complete, the indicator light will turn off.

2. Unplug the coffee machine after use.

Note: after pressing the power button, the coffee machine will start the brewing cycle and will remain on until the cycle is completed. To interrupt or stop the brewing cycle, you must disconnect the mains plug from the socket.

Brewing a second cup of coffee

To prepare another cup of coffee, allow the machine to cool down completely (approximately three minutes) after the indicator light has turned off. Rinse the cup and the reusable mesh filter with water and repeat the brewing process.

WARNING: if the machine does not cool down completely before being used again, the water in the water tank may overheat. This may cause steam to escape from the machine, resulting in a risk of burns and/or personal injury.

NOTE: if you try to start another brewing cycle before the machine cools down, the cycle may be incomplete as the unit uses a thermal reset to prevent overheating. This may cause the machine to shut down automatically.

Tips for good coffee

• Always use fresh, cold water.
• For stronger or milder coffee, increase or decrease the amount of coffee beans.
• The finer ground coffee beans, such as those in drip and automatic drip coffee machines, promote full flavour extraction and a rich, textured coffee.
• Store ground coffee beans in a cool, dry place.

ENGLISH

• After opening a package of ground coffee, reseal it tightly and store it in a refrigerator to maintain its freshness.
• For a full-bodied flavour coffee, buy whole coffee beans and grind them just before use.
• Do not reuse coffee beans, as this greatly reduces their flavour.
• Reheating coffee is not recommended, as it reaches its full flavour immediately after brewing.
• A clean coffee machine is essential for good-tasting coffee. Clean it regularly as indicated in the section "Cleaning and maintenance."
• Avoid fat accumulation: if a small amount of oil remains on the surface of the coffee, this may be due to the release of oil from the roasted coffee beans. Highly roasted coffee beans release more oil. Regular cleaning of your coffee machine will prevent oil build-up.

4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING: always unplug the power cord from the wall outlet and allow the product to cool completely before cleaning or storing.

The surface may become hot during use.

Cleaning:

- The cup and filter holder can be placed on the top rack of the dishwasher for cleaning or washed by hand with warm, soapy water. The reusable mesh filter should be washed by hand.

NOTE: when washed in the dishwasher, the pieces may fade. Restore them by polishing them with a soft, dry cloth.

- Clean the housing with a clean damp cloth. Do not use metallic scouring pads or abrasive cleaning products.

Descaling

For your coffee machine to work efficiently, remove the limescale left by the water. At least once a month, use a household cleaning solution of water and vinegar as described below to prevent limescale build-up. If the water in your area is particularly calcareous, do this every two weeks.

1. Fill the cup with one-part white vinegar and three parts cold water.
2. Pour the water and vinegar mixture into the water tank.
3. Place the cup on the base.
4. Press the power button; the indicator light will turn on.

NOTE: during cleaning, more steam is produced than when brewing coffee.

1. When the vinegar and water solution is finished, allow the brewer to cool down for three minutes. Remove, rinse, and replace the mesh filter and pour the water/vinegar mixture back into the water tank.
2. Press the power button.
3. Allow the cleaning solution to drip into the cup.
4. Discard the cleaning solution from the cup.
5. Allow the machine to cool down for three minutes, then remove, rinse, and replace the filter holder.
6. Rinse the brewer by preparing a cup of cold water.
7. Allow the machine to cool down completely and clean it by washing the cup, filter holder and reusable mesh filter in soapy water. Rinse and allow to dry.

Storage:

Store in a cool, fresh place.
