used for smaller cups. Make sure that the
indicated maximum amount of water is not
exceeded.
∙ If several consecutive brewing cycles
are required, switch off the coffee maker
after each cycle and let the appliance cool
down for approx. 5 minutes.
∙ Important note: When fi lling the
appliance with fresh water shortly after
a brewing cycle is completed, there is a
danger of scalding from hot water or steam
escaping through the water outlet.
Making coffee
∙ Filling with water:
Open the water container lid, fi ll the
container with the desired quantity of water
and replace the lid.
∙ Inserting the paper fi lter:
Open the swing-out fi lter sideways and insert
a size-4 paper fi lter into the fi lter holder, fi rst
folding down the perforated sides of the fi lter.
∙ Filling with ground coffee:
For each regular-sized cup (125ml), a
measure of about 6 g (= 1½ - 2 tea-spoons)
of medium or fi nely ground coffee will
be required. Close the swing-out fi lter
afterwards.
∙ Preparing the glass carafe:
Fit the lid onto the carafe, and then place
the carafe into the appliance. If cor-rectly
inserted, the lid will disable the drip-stop
mechanism in the fi lter holder during the
brewing cycle.
∙ Starting the brewing cycle:
Insert the plug into a suitable wall outlet and
use the On/Off switch to switch the coffee
maker on. The fi ltration cycle starts and the
water passes through the fi lter.
∙ Removing the glass carafe:
Wait until all the water has passed through
the fi lter before the carafe is removed from
the appliance.
∙ Switching off the coffee maker:
The coffee may be kept warm inside the
carafe by leaving it standing on the hot-plate.
The plate is kept warm until the appliance is
switched off. Always switch off the appliance
after use and remove the plug from the wall
socket.
Descaling
∙ Depending on the water quality (lime
content) in your area as well as the
frequency of use, all thermal household
appliances using hot water need
descaling (i.e. removal of lime deposits)
on a regular basis to warrant proper
functioning.
∙ Any warranty claim will be null and
void if the appliance malfunctions
because of insuffi cient descaling.
∙ A lengthening of the brewing time and
increased noise during brewing indicate
that descaling of the coffee maker has
become necessary.
∙
An excessive build-up of lime deposits is
very diffi cult to remove, even when strong
descaling agents are used. It may also
cause the brewing system to leak. We
therefore strongly recommend descaling
the appliance after each thirty to forty
brewing cycles. For descaling, a vinegar
solution may be used as follows:
∙ Mix 80 ml of vinegar essence with the
indicated maximum amount of cold
water.
∙ Pour the descaling solution into the
water container, insert a paper fi lter into
the fi lter holder without adding any
ground coffee as described in section
Making coffee, and let the appliance
