Unpacking and checking

• Carefully take the device and its accessories out of the packaging. Retain the packaging in case you would like to store the device away or transport it at a later date. If you choose to dispose of the packaging, then please do so according to the applicable legal regulations.
• Check the packaging contents for completeness and damages. Should the contents in the packaging not be complete or be damaged, do not use the device. Return it to your retail outlet immediately.

Preparation

• Conduct a cleaning of the device before preparing coffee for the first time. Also clean this device if it will not be used for a longer period of time and after each decalcification treatment.
• Open the lid of the water container (2) and fill it with fresh water to the max marking on the water level indicator (3). Insert the filter insert (10) and the permanent filter (11) correctly and put the carafe (7) on the warming plate (6). Do not put in any coffee powder.
• Connect the plug (4) to a suitable power outlet. Put the On / Off switch I/O (5) to position I. The operation indicator lights up. The brewing procedure begins within a few seconds.
• Let all of the water run through for cleaning. Put the On / Off switch I/O to position 0 and pull the plug from the power outlet. Let the device cool off for approximately 5 minutes before restarting brewing procedure. Repeat this procedure two or three times. Pour the water out after each brewing procedure.

Preparing coffee

• Open the lid of the water container (2) and fill it with the desired amount of fresh drinking water. You can prepare up to 12 cups of coffee (125 ml each).
• Do not fill the water container beyond the max marking, in order to prevent the water container or carafe (7) from overfilling.
• Insert the filter insert (10) correctly into the filer holder (9) and press it down gently. If the filter insert is not correctly inserted, water can overflow.
• Insert the permanent filter (11) into the filter insert.
• Put the desired amount of coffee powder into the permanent filter and close the lid (1). Attention! Never open the lid during the brewing procedure.
  • Put the carafe on the warming plate (6).

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

• Once the water has completely run through the filter, the carafe (7) can be removed from the device.
• The brewed coffee can remain warm by placing the carafe (7) on the warming plate (6). Keeping the coffee warm for more than one hour is not recommended. The coffee becomes increasingly bitter even after 10-15 minutes.
• Always switch the device off after use. Put the On / Off switch I/O (5) to position 0 and pull the plug (4) from the power outlet.

Notes:

• This device is equipped with a drip-protection system. This prevents coffee from dripping on the warming plate if you remove the carafe briefly during the brewing procedure (maximum of 30 seconds).
  • Let the device cool off for approximately 5 minutes before starting brewing procedure again.
• Be very carefully when pouring coffee, in order to prevent spilling hot coffee.
• Touch the carafe by the handle only.

Tips

• Use only fresh drinking water for coffee preparation.
- Dispose of the coffee grounds after each brewing procedure. Do not use the same coffee grounds for a renewed brewing procedure because the flavour will not be retained.
• Store the coffee powder in a cool, dry area which is protected from light.
• Always keep the coffee in its original package. Close an opened package and put it in a container or a tin.
- The tin or container in which the coffee is stored should be hermetically closed. This way, the flavour is retained longer.
• You can also keep the container with the coffee powder in the refrigerator.
• Always keep this device clean and clean it according to use (see CLEANING AND CARE).

Cleaning and care

• Prior to cleaning, pull the power plug (4) out of the power outlet. Wait until the device has completely cooled off.
• Clean the exterior surfaces of the housing with a slightly damp cloth.
• Never immerse electrical parts of the device in water during cleaning or operation. Never hold the device under running water.
• Never use solvents and abrasives, hard brushes, metallic or sharp objects for cleaning. Solvents are harmful to health and attack the plastic parts. Abrasive cleaners and tools do scratch the surface.
  • Empty the permanent filter (11) immediately after each use and rinse under running water.
• Clean the carafe (7) and the filter insert (10) after use with warm water and some dishwashing liquid. Then dry it up.
• Clean the warming plate (6) regularly with a slightly damp cloth.

- Start the brewing procedure and let the water run through completely. Empty the carafe (7). Repeat the procedure as necessary.
- Rinse out the device after decalcifying by conducting several brewing procedures in order to remove descaler residues.
- Rinse the carafe with warm water after decalcifying.
