the container with the correct amount
of clean water. With a dual-scale, the
left scale is used for regular-sized cups
of approx.125ml, while the right scale is
used for smaller cups. Make sure that the
indicated maximum amount of water is not
exceeded.
∙ Caution: the hot water outlet is integrated
in the water container lid. Do not attempt
to open the lid while brewing is in progress,
as the hot water outlet will be exposed:
there is a danger of scalding.
∙ 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 and fi ll the
container with the required quantity of water.
∙ Inserting the paper fi lter:
Open the swing-out fi lter and insert a size-4
paper fi lter, 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 teaspoons)
of medium or fi nely ground coffee will be
required. Close the water container lid
afterwards.
∙ Preparing the glass carafe:
Fit the aroma protection lid or the drip-
through lid onto the carafe, and then place
the carafe into the appliance. If correctly
inserted, the lid will disable the drip-stop
mechanism in the swingßout fi lter 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. To keep the coffee hot for
as long as possible, remove the aroma
protection lid and use the screw-in lid to
close the carafe.
∙ Switching off the coffee maker:
Always switch off the appliance after use and
remove the plug from the wall socket.
Coffee maker with drip-through lid
During the fi ltering process and while
pouring the coffee out, the drip-through lid
does not need to be removed and should
remain on the jug. To pour the coffee, turn
the lid counter-clockwise about half a turn so
that the arrow on the lid is aligned with the
pouring spout.
Heat-retaining carafe
∙ For technical reasons the screw-in lid
does not close hermetically. Therefore
always hold the carafe in an upright
position when fi lled with coffee.
∙ Keeping the coffee hot: A heat-
conserving carafe accumulates heat
energy. Therefore the carafe should
preferably be fi lled to its maximum
capacity. If it is only partly fi lled,
the temperature will not be held as
effi ciently. If you rinse out the carafe with
hot water before use, the coffee will be
kept warm for a longer time.
