Water tank cover. Water tank. Filter-holder. Permanent filter. Thermal cup. Integrated thermal cup cover.

• This coffee-maker lets you make one or two coffees at the same time in their respective cups. First select 1 or 2 coffees using the selector (7) on the top of the coffee-maker (Fig. 1). IMPORTANT! When you are going to make 1 cup, use the left-hand side of the coffee-maker.
• Raise the water tank cover (1) and pour the water into the tank (2) (Fig. 2). Check the maximum water level for 1 and 2 cups in the sight glass. Use the cup (5) to fill the tank and calculate the desired amount of water per cup. If you are making 2 cups, fill the tank with the sufficient amount (2 cups).
• Open the filter-holder (3) outwards by pulling the tab and make sure the permanent filter (4) is correctly in position (Fig. 3). Then put the ground coffee in the filter (4). Use the dispensing spoon (14) to calculate the amount of coffee. IMPORTANT! The maximum recommended amount is three spoonfuls per cup. If you put too much coffee in, it may spill during the brewing process.
• Close the filter-holder (4) and make sure it is correctly in position.
• Place both cups (5) with their cover (6) in the coffee-maker, even though you are only going to make one cup, and plug the coffee-maker in.

• When you plug the coffee-maker in, the digital screen (9) lights up and displays ’00:00’, not showing any particular time. The red pilot light (8) in the middle indicates that the coffee-maker is on.
• If you want the coffee-maker to start up immediately, press the on button (8). The green light comes on and stays on while the coffee is being brewed.
• Once the coffee has been made, the red light comes on and the coffee-maker beeps 5 times. IMPORTANT! These five beeps mean that the coffee-maker has used up all the water in the tank, not that the coffee has finished coming out. The coffee might continue to come out for another 1 or 2 minutes. We recommend that you wait this amount of time before removing the cup.
• The brewing process can be stopped at any time by pressing the on button. IMPORTANT! Remove the cover (6) from the cup carefully to add sugar or milk to the coffee. The cover comes off by turning it to the right (Fig. 4). TIMER

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Before cleaning the coffee-maker, leave it to cool and check that it is unplugged. You must not place it in water nor spray it with water.
• To clean the body of the coffee-maker, simply use a sponge or a damp cloth.
• The thermal cup and the filter holder can be washed in hot, soapy water or in the dishwasher.
• Descale the coffee-maker approximately once every 6 months, depending on how often you use it and the hardness of the water. To remove incrusted scale, we recommend cleaning out all the pipes that carry water. To do so, add equal amounts of water and vinegar. Switch the coffee-maker on and let all the liquid come out. Then, let the coffee-maker work twice with nothing but water, to clean it out completely.
