The front mark shows the fill level for
two cups, while the mark at the rear
shows the level for one cup. The
container may be filled to a maximum of
250ml of drinking water.
-
To facilitate filling the filter with ground
coffee, and also for cleaning purposes,
the filter holder can be removed: lift it up
slightly and pull it out from the front.
Making coffee
-
Place one or two cups, as desired,
underneath the outlets. When preparing
coffee for one cup only, ensure that the
cup is placed directly underneath both
outlets.
-
Open the water container lid and fill the
container with the desired quantity of
clean drinking water, i.e. according to the
number of cups to be prepared.
-
Remove the filter holder to put in the
ground coffee. We recommend the use of
finely ground coffee. Depending on your
personal taste, a measure of about 6 g (=
1
1
/
2
- 2 teaspoons) of ground coffee will be
required for each cup.
-
Close the water container lid.
-
Insert the plug into a suitable wall outlet
and use the On/Off switch to switch the
coffee maker on. The indicator light goes
on.
-
Wait until the filtration cycle is complete.
-
The cups may now be removed.
-
Use the On/Off switch to switch the
coffee maker off.
-
Wait until the appliance has cooled down
sufficiently before removing the filter
holder and the permanent filter. The
used ground coffee can now be disposed
of.
-
Clean the permanent filter (as described
in the section Cleaning), replace it in the
filter holder and re-attach the holder to
the appliance.
● If several successive brewing cycles are
required, the appliance should be
switched off and given sufficient time
(approx. 5 mins.) to cool down after each
cycle.
● Important note: When refilling the
container with water shortly after a
brewing cycle has finished, steam may be
emitted from the water outlet. Caution:
danger of scalding.
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.
A lengthening of the brewing time and
increased noise during brewing indicate that
descaling of the coffee maker has become
necessary.
Important note: an excessive build-up of
lime deposits is very difficult to remove, even
when using strong descaling agents. We
therefore strongly recommend descaling the
appliance after each thirty to fourty brewing
cycles. For descaling, a vinegar solution may
be used as follows:
-
Mix 1 tablespoon of vinegar with 2 cups
of cold water.
-
Fill the water container with the
descaling solution and place two cups
underneath the outlets.
-
Do not add any coffee.
-
Remove the permanent filter from its
holder and re-attach the filter holder to
the housing.
-
Switch the appliance on and wait for the
descaling cycle to finish. If necessary,
repeat the cycle.
-
To clean the appliance after descaling, let
it run through 2-3 filtration cycles using
clean water (without coffee or
permanent filter).
● Do not pour descalers down enamelled
sinks.
Cleaning
● Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is
disconnected from the power supply and
