First use
∙ First clean your coffee maker by operating
it twice or three times with approx. 6 cups
of fresh cold water but without using
ground coffee.
How to make fi lter coffee
∙ When making smaller quantities of coffee,
it is better to place the glass jug on the
hotplate and then switch it on. In that way,
the freshly brewed coffee will be delivered
into the pre-heated jug.
∙ Open the pivoted fi lter holder (6) and take
off the fi lter holder lid (5) (illustration I).
∙ Place a paper fi lter (size 1 x 4) into the
plastic fi lter and add fi ne ground coffee:
∙ We recommend the use of fi nely ground

coffee
∙ approx. 6g=2 tsp. for a medium sized
coffee cup and
∙ approx. 4g=1½ tsp. for a smaller sized
coffee cup.
∙ The amount of coffee used may be
altered to taste.
∙ Replace the fi lter lid (5) back onto the
fi lter holder (6) and swing back the fi lter
holder.
∙ Open the water reservoir lid (3) and fi ll
the reservoir (4) with the required amount
of cold water. The minimum quantity of
water used should be for two medium-
sized coffee cups (illustration II).
∙ The water level marks inside the water
reservoir help you to measure the amount
of water needed for the number of cups of
coffee you wish to prepare:
∙ water level marks on the left-hand side:
medium-sized coffee cups (approx.
125 ml)
∙ water level marks on the right-hand
side: smaller sized coffee cups.
∙ Be careful not to exceed the maximum
water level of 8 medium-sized cups as
otherwise boiling water may be ejected
and cause burns.
∙ Close the water reservoir lid (3). This is
important as the "Vapotronic"-system can
only operate while the lid is closed.
∙ Place the glass jug (9) with its lid (8) on
top of it onto the hotplate (10). The jug
lid opens the non-drip valve of the fi lter
holder (illustration III).
∙ Use the On-off button (1) to switch on the
hot-plate (10).
∙ Now use the On-off button (2) to turn on
the brewing system (illustration IV). The
indicator light comes on. The water in the
reservoir is now brought to the boil. With
