Before using the appliance for the first time

For the perfect flavour, run the coffee brewing cycle with water only (without coffee) two or three times. Each time the water runs through the appliance, unplug it and let it cool down for five minutes. Then repeat the cycle with fresh water.

Brewing coffee

1. Open the water tank cover and fill the water tank with drinking water. The water level should not exceed the MAX level as indicated on the water level gauge.
2. Place the funnel into the funnel support. Make sure it is assembled correctly, otherwise the water tank cover cannot be closed. Place the permanent filter in the funnel.
3. Add ground coffee into permanent filter. Usually a cup of coffee needs a level spoon of ground coffee, but you may adjust the amount according to personal taste. Close the water tank cover completely.
4. Place the carafe onto the warming plate horizontally.
5. Plug the power cord into the outlet. The LCD display indicates "12:00".
6. Press the ON/OFF button. The ON/OFF indicator lights up in red and the appliance begins to operate. Note: The brewing process may be interrupted at any time by pressing the ON/OFF button. The ON/OFF indicator will switch off, indicating your coffee maker is shut off.

Note: During the brewing process, the "PROG", "HOUR" and "MINUTE" buttons do not have any effect.

1. The brewing process can be interrupted at any time by pressing the ON/OFF button, The ON/OFF indicator will switch off. The appliance will continue brewing once the ON/OFF button is pressed again. Note: You can take out the carafe and serve the coffee at any time. The appliance will stop dripping automatically. This pause, however, may not exceed 30 seconds.
2. When the brewing process is complete (about one minute after the coffee stops dripping), you may remove the carafe to serve the coffee.

Note: The amount of coffee will be less than the amount of water you have added, since some water is absorbed by the coffee grounds and some may adhere to the plastic parts.

1. If you do not wish to serve the coffee immediately after the brewing process is finished, keep the coffee maker plugged in and switched on. Coffee can be kept warm on the warming plate. Forty minutes after the appliance was switched on with the ON/OFF button, the appliance will be switched off automatically, if it has not been manually disconnected after the end of the brewing process. For optimum coffee taste, serve it immediately after brewing.
2. Always turn off the coffee maker and unplug the power cord when not in use. Note: Be careful when pouring the coffee. The coffee that has just been brewed is very hot and you could scald yourself.

Delay function

If you do not want the coffee maker to start operating immediately – for example, if it is 8:00 a.m. right now, but you want your coffee maker to start operating automatically at 1:00 p.m., first follow steps 1 to 5 from the section “USING YOUR COFFEE MAKER”, and then set the automatic start function as follows:

Cleaning

CAUTION: Be sure to unplug this appliance before cleaning. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the cord, plug or the unit in water or liquid. After each use, always make sure plug is removed from wall outlet first.

1. Clean all detachable parts after each use in hot sudsy water.
2. Wipe the exterior surface of the unit with a soft, damp cloth to remove any stains.
3. Water droplets may build up at the top of the funnel and drip onto the product

base during brewing. To control the dripping, wipe off the area with a clean dry cloth after each use.

1. Use a damp cloth to gently wipe the warming plate. Never use an abrasive cleaner to clean it.

Removing mineral deposits

To keep your coffee maker operating efficiently, you should periodically clean the mineral deposits, the build-up of which depends on water quality in your area and on how frequently you use the appliance. We recommend removing the mineral deposits as follows:

1. Fill the water tank with water and descaler (descaling agent) to the max level as indicated on the water level gauge (mix the water and descaler in a 4:1 ratio; for details, refer to the descaler instructions). Please use a "household descaler". You may also use citric acid instead of descaler (one hundred parts of water to three parts of citric acid).
2. Place the glass carafe onto the warming plate.
3. Make sure the filter (without any ground coffee) and the funnel are assembled and in place.
4. Turn on the appliance and allow it to "brew" the descaling solution as described above.
5. After one cup of solution has been brewed, switch off the appliance.
6. Leave the solution in the appliance for 15 minutes, then repeat steps 3–5.
7. Switch on the appliance and run off the rest of the solution until the water tank is completely empty.
8. Rinse by operating the appliance with only water at least 3 times.
