To remove the carafe lid, pull it upwards and then slide it to the left or right as shown in the figure (3). After cleaning, fit the lid back on again and press it down. These accessories can also be washed in the dishwasher. To clean the inside of the coffee maker, run it twice without any coffee in the filter. For details of this procedure, see the instructions in the "Making coffee" section.

• Do not use any electrical appliance if its cord or plug are deteriorated, or if the appliance is not working correctly or is damaged in any way. Take the appliance to an authorised technical service for overhaul, repair or adjustment.
• In case of breakdown and/or incorrect functioning, switch off the appliance and unplug it from the mains. Do not try to repair it. Contact an authorised Technical Assistance Service and insist on the use of original spare parts and accessories.
• When the appliance is no longer useful, after unplugging it from the mains you should cut its cord so that it cannot be used again.
• If the carafe breaks, the hot liquid inside it could cause burns. To avoid breaking the carafe, the following precautions should be taken:
• Do not allow all of the liquid to evaporate. Do not heat the empty carafe.
• Do not use a carafe if it is cracked or if its handle is loose or deteriorated. Replace it as soon as you notice any signs of wear. A crack or chip to the glass could cause the whole carafe to break, or glass particles could enter the liquid.
• Do not clean the carafe with abrasive scouring pads or cleaners as these could scratch and deteriorate the glass.
• The carafe is designed for use with this coffee maker only. Do not place the carafe on or near hot surfaces (stoves, ranges, cooker hotplates, hot ovens, microwaves, etc.)
• Do not stand the carafe on wet or cold surfaces.
• Avoid any rough handling or knocks.

4. FUNCTIONING

Figures 4 - 11 Making coffee

• Open the lid (a) and fill the tank with cold water up to the desired level (4). Close the lid. Do not exceed the maximum tank level of 10 cups.
• Turn the filter basket (c) to the left to insert the filter in the filter holder (b) (5).
• Place a filter (size 4 or 1 x 4) in the filter basket. Before placing the filter you should bend the filter arm as shown in the figure (6).
• Place the desired amount of ground coffee in the filter (7). We recommend one level dessert spoonful of ground coffee per cup. After using the coffee maker several times you will know how much to use according to your own taste.
• Close the filter basket by turning it to the right until it clicks into place (8).
• Place the carafe (e) with the lid fitted to it (d) on the warming plate (f) (9). Ensure the carafe lid opens the anti-drip valve ( ).
• Plug the appliance in and press the "I" button (h) (10). The two pilot lights will come on.
• The water will begin to filter through the coffee and flow into the carafe. When the coffee is ready it is kept hot by the warming plate. If you do not want to keep the coffee hot, switch off the coffee maker using the "0" button (g). The two pilot lights will switch off.
• If you wish to serve a cup of coffee before the coffee making process has finished, remove the carafe from the warming plate, pour the cup of coffee and then place the

carafe immediately on the warming plate again.

• When there is no more coffee in the carafe, unplug the coffee maker and wait about 10 minutes for it to cool down before making more coffee or cleaning it.

• Before cleaning the coffee maker, switch it off using the "0" button, unplug it and wait for it to cool down.
• Do not submerge the appliance in water or place it under the tap.
• The carafe, carafe lid and filter holder can be washed in the dishwasher (top rack only).

• If the coffee maker has not been switched off using the "0" button (g), the warming plate will continue to function, keeping the coffee at drinking temperature.
• After 2 hours the appliance will switch off automatically.

6. DESCALING

Precautions when making coffee

• Use only cold water. Never use warm or hot water. Do not use any other liquids apart from water.
• The carafe lid must be correctly fitted to prevent overflow of the water flowing into the filter. This is necessary to open the anti-drip valve allowing water to flow to the carafe.
• Wait for the coffee maker to cool down before filling the tank again, as otherwise steam may be produced with a risk of burns.
• The water gets very hot during the coffee making process and could cause burns. The filter basket must therefore not be turned during the process.
• Do not touch the warming plate as it heats up and could cause burns.

• Depending on water hardness and frequency of use, obstructions may be caused by water scale. If this happens, you will notice that the filtering process is taking longer than normal. To prevent this from happening the coffee maker must be descaled.
• If you use the coffee maker frequently, it should be descaled as follows: - for soft water up to 7 H (0-1.4 mol/m3) = once a year - for medium-hard water, 7-14 dH (1.242.5 mol/m3) = quarterly - for hard water, 14 dH or more (2.5-3.75 mol/m3) = monthly In case of doubt, consult the water hardness in your area at the local water board or town hall.
• Use acetic acid or salad vinegar for descaling, as other decalcifying agents could damage the conduction system.
• Dissolve 2 spoonfuls in half a litre of water and pour this mixture into the water tank. If you are using vinegar fill the carafe with one part vinegar and three parts water and pour into the water tank.
• Switch on the coffee maker (in the same way as for making coffee, but with no filter or coffee) and allow the solution to flow through the system. Repeat this operation 2 or 3 times depending on the degree of scale.
• Lastly, fill the tank with cold water and run the coffee maker 2 or 3 times to remove any residues. Anti-drip valve The anti-drip valve closes when the carafe is removed from the warming plate. By means of this device you may remove the carafe to serve a cup of coffee before the filtering process is complete. The carafe should only be removed during the filtering process when at least two cups of coffee have been filtered into the carafe. Important: The carafe must be put back in place as soon as the coffee has been served in order for the filtering process to resume.
