Important
• Check if the voltage indicated on the
appliance corresponds to the local mains
voltage before you connect the
appliance.
• Never put the appliance on a hot surface
• Unplug the appliance:
- if problems occur during the brewing
process;
- before you start cleaning the appliance.
• Make sure the cord does not come into
contact with hot surfaces.
• Keep the appliance out of the reach of
children when you use it.
Make sure the cord is placed in such a
way that children cannot pull at it.
• Never use the appliance if the plug, the
cord or the appliance itself is damaged.
Cord Storage
Excess cord can be stored at the back of the
coffee maker by pushing it into the opening
(fig. 1).
Before you use the appliance for the first time
Run the appliance once without putting coffee in
the filter (see the section on brewing).
Wash the separate parts (see the section on
cleaning).
Brewing (fig. 2-10)
- Fill the water reservoir with fresh, cold water.
- The graduations on the left are for big cups
(120 ml).
The graduations on the right are for small cups
(80 ml).
- Use paper filters (‘1x4’ or ‘No. 4’). Do not
forget to fold the glued edges of the filter
before you place it in the filter holder to
prevent the filter from tearing or collapsing.
- Some versions come with a permanent filter. In
this case you do not need to buy paper filters.
- For big cups: use 1 full measuring spoon of
ground coffee (extra-fine grind) for each cup.
For small cups: use 1 level measuring spoon of
ground coffee for one cup.
- Put the jug in place, close the filter holder and
switch the appliance on.
When the coffee is ready
- When all the water has passed through the
filter, you can take the jug out off the appliance
(fig. 11).
- After you have poured the coffee, put the jug
with the remaining coffee back on the hot plate
to keep it hot and to preserve its flavour.
“Drip-stop”
The drip stop system prevents coffee from
dripping through the filter onto the hot plate
when you take the jug out off the appliance
during and after brewing.
Protective buffer ring
(only for types HD 7501,
HD 7502 and HD 7504)
The jug has been provided with a
detachable buffer ring, which
helps prevent the jug from
breaking (fig. 14a).
Automatic switch-off
(only for type HD 7504)
For your convenience and for
extra safety the coffee maker will
switch off automatically after two hours.
Making fresh coffee right away
If you want to make fresh coffee right away,
switch the appliance off and allow it to cool down
for three minutes.
Then you can fill the watertank again and make
fresh coffee.
Heating up coffee in a microwave
If you want to heat up coffee, the jug can be
placed in a microwave, even with the buffer ring
attached (only for types HD 7501, HD 7502 and
HD 7504).
Cleaning
• Always unplug the appliance before you start
cleaning it.
• Never immerse the appliance in water. Clean it
with a damp cloth.
