4. BEFORE USING FOR

THE FIRST TIME

Before using for the first time, familiarise yourself with all the components. Read all instructions carefully. Remove the filter-holder (4) (fig. 2) and the jug lid (7) (fig. 3) and clean along with the jug itself and the permanent filter (3) in warm soapy water. Dry thoroughly and replace, fitting the filter-holder into its place and the lid onto the jug. To clean the inside of the appliance, run a coffee-making cycle twice without adding ground coffee to the filter. To do this, follow the instructions given in the section entitled "Making coffee".

5. MAKING COFFEE

With the appliance unplugged:

• Place the coffeemaker on a flat, stable surface.
• Open the deposit lid (1) and make sure that the deposit is empty. Fill with clean, cold water to the required level. Do not exceed the indicated maximum level mark.
• Fill the filter (3) with the required quantity of ground coffee and close the lid. We recommend one dessertspoon of coffee per cup. After using the coffeemaker a few times, you may wish to adjust the amount of coffee used according to individual taste.
• Make sure the lid of the jug (7) is properly fitted, and place the jug (8) on the heater plate (9). Ensure that the jug lid opens the anti-drip value (6), otherwise the filtered coffee will not drip down into the jug and will overflow from the filter.
• Plug the appliance into the mains and press the start/stop switch (10). The switch pilot light will indicate that the appliance is ON.
• Water will begin to filter down through The liquid that drips into the jug is hot and may cause burns if the jug is accidentally broken. To avoid breakage, take the following safety precautions:
• Do not allow all the liquid to evaporate. Do not heat the jug when empty.
• Do not use a broken jug or a jug whose handle is loose or weak. Replace if any signs of damage are detected. A tiny crack or breakage of a small piece of the glass may cause the jug to shatter and to contaminate the liquid with splinters of glass.
• Do not clean the jug with an abrasive scourer or any cleaning products that may scratch or otherwise weaken the glass.
• The jug is designed for use with this appliance. Do not place it on or near hot surfaces (heaters, burners, hobs, hot ovens, microwaves, etc.).
• Do not place the jug on wet or cold surfaces.
• Handle gently and avoid knocking.

• When the jug is empty, turn the start/stop switch off (the pilot light will go out), unplug the appliance leave to cool for 10 minutes before repeating the coffee-making operation or cleaning.

6. HOW TO MAKE A PERFECT

CUP OF COFFEE

For an even more delicious taste and aroma, use freshly ground coffee. Use medium, not fine ground coffee. Store coffee in a dry place. Once the packet has been opened, close firmly and store in the refrigerator in order to conserve its aroma. The heater plate will keep the freshly made coffee warm, but it tastes better if drunk immediately after filtering. Precautions to be taken while using the appliance

• Do not use warm or hot water. Always use cold water. Do not use any other liquid except water.
• To prevent the water in the filter from overflowing the jug lid should be correctly fitted in order to ensure that the anti-drip value is opened, enabling the water to pass through to the jug.
• Leave the coffeemaker to cool before refilling the deposit. If the deposit is filled while hot, steam may be generated that could cause burns. Do not move the coffeemaker while in use.

7. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always leave the appliance to cool before cleaning and make sure that the start/stop switch has been turned off and the coffeemaker unplugged from the mains. Clean the filter-holder, jug and jug lid in warm soapy water. Rinse well and dry thoroughly before replacing. Clean the outside of the coffeemaker with a damp cloth. Do not use detergent or abrasive cleaning products. Do not submerge the appliance in water or place under an open tap. Anti-drip valve The anti-drip value is located underneath the filter-holder and is activated when the jug is removed from the heater plate. It enables the jug to be removed to pour a cup of coffee during the filtering process. Make sure that the equivalent of at least two cups of coffee has filtered into the jug before removing during the filtering process.

Warning: replace the jug immediately

after pouring the cup of coffee to enable the filtering process to continue. If the jug is not returned immediately, the filter may overflow.

8. DECALCIFICATION

Depending on the hardness of the water in your area and the frequency of use, the appliance’s tubes may become obstructed by lime. You will know that this has occurred when the filtering process starts taking longer than normal. To prevent this, you should decalcify your coffeemaker by either using a commercial decalcifying agent specially designed for coffeemakers, or by following the instructions given below: Fill the jug with a 1/4 vinegar 3/4 water solution. Pour the solution into the deposit and switch the coffeemaker on. Allow the solution to drip down into the jug. Repeat this process 2 or 3 times, depending on the extent of calcification. After the lime has been removed, run an empty filtering process (with water but no coffee) 2 or 3 times to remove any remains of the water/vinegar solution. We recommend that you decalcify your coffeemaker once every 4 weeks.
