a danger of scalding from hot water or
steam escaping through the water outlet.
Making coffee
∙ Filling with water:
Open the lid and fi ll the container with the
desired quantity of water.
∙ Inserting the paper fi lter:
Open the swing-out fi lter 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 teaspoons)
of medium or fi nely ground coffee will
be required. Close the swing-out fi lter
afterwards, ensuring that it locks into place.
∙ Preparing the glass carafe:
Place the drip-through lid onto the carafe and
close it. Ensure that the two arrow marks on lid
and carafe are properly aligned before placing
the carafe into the appliance. If correctly
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 Start button to switch the coffee
maker on. The fi ltration cycle starts and the
water passes through the fi lter. The LED
indicator lamp lights up.
∙ Removing the glass carafe:
Wait until all the water has passed through
the fi lter before the carafe is removed
from the appliance. Onc e the brewing
cycle is complete, the appliance switches off
automatically and the LED indicator lamp goes
out. To interrupt the brewing cycle, disconnect
the appliance from the mains.
∙ Switching off the coffee maker:
Remove the plug from the wall outlet after
use.
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.
∙ During brewing, and also while pouring
the coffee from the heat-retaining carafe,
the drip-through lid does not need to be
removed and should remain in place.
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.
∙ The interior of the heat-retaining carafe
insert consists of high quality double-walled
glass with a vacuum in-between for better
insulation. Any streaks or bubble marks
inside the carafe looking like bubbles or
scratches do not affect its functional use nor
its heat-retaining ability.
In case the glass is damaged for one or the
other reason as mentioned below, there is
a risk that the glass carafe implodes. This
might happen quite some time after the glass
carafe has actually been damaged.
∙ Therefore do not drink out of the carafe
and do not put your hand into it. Always
close the carafe with its screw cap. Do not
leave the vacuum carafe unattended near
where children may reach it.
To prevent damage to the glass carafe:
