NOTE
The appliance does not have an OFF switch. Once all the water has passed through, the
appliance turns off automatically. Therefore always unplug the appliance when it is not in use.
If the appliance is turned on by accident, wait until it turns off automatically and let it cool
down. Even when the appliance is unplugged only for a moment, it will not turn off.
Never open the lid of the water tank when in use, hot water can splash and cause burns.
INITIAL OPERATION
• When you use your appliance for the first time, pour fresh water into the water tank and
switch on the appliance (see paragraph “Preparation of coffee”) without coffee in it.
• Once all the water has passed through, the appliance switches off automatically. When it
is cold enough (after about 5 minutes) repeat the process with fresh water only. Repeat
this process at least 2 times.
PREPARATION OF COFFEE
• Open the lid of the water tank (5).
• Pour the desired amount of water into the water tank. Make sure not to overfill by filling
maximum 12 cups of water (do not exceed the “MAX” indication on the water tank). The
number of cups can be read from the water level indicator (6). Use a paper filter if you
want to make more than 10 cups of coffee, as the fine pores of the permanent filter only
allow the coffee to pass through slowly and using too much coffee powder might make it
run over.
• Use the permanent filter (12) or insert a paper filter (size 4) in the filter holder (11) and add
the desired quantity of ground coffee (1 teaspoon per cup, approximately 6g). Pay
attention: fold the bottom and the side edges of the paper filter in such a way that it fits
perfectly in the filter holder.
•
Note:
When the permanent filter is not being used (but only a paper filter), an aroma-
retaining brewing is not possible.
• Put the permanent filter in the filter holder in such a way that the half round notch fits
exactly, then put the filter holder in the appliance with the notch in front and the small
handle in the foreseen notch on the left. Press on the filter holder until you hear a click.
• Never forget to close the lid (5) before switching on your coffee maker.
• Put the thermos flask (8) with closed lid (9) on the supporting plate (2).
• Switch on the coffee maker with the switch (7). The pilot light on the switch will be
illuminated, indicating that your appliance is in use. The thermos flask allows you to keep
the coffee warm for quite some time.
• When the brewing process is over, remove the thermos flask from the supporting plate (the
drip stop (3) will prevent dripping) and pour the desired amount of coffee, keeping the
lever (10) of the trickle-through lid pressed down.
AROMA SELECTOR SWITCH
The appliance has an aroma selector switch (4) which makes it possible to choose between
normal coffee (position ) and aroma retaining coffee (position ). If you choose an
aroma retaining brewing process, some of the hot water will drip separately into the thermos
flask.
