Making coffee
∙ Filling with water:
Open the water container lid and fill the
container with the desired quantity of water.
Close the water container lid.
∙ I nserting the paper filter:
Open the swing-out filter sideways and
insert a size-2 paper filter into the filter
holder, first folding down the perforated
sides of the filter.
Alternatively, the enclosed permanent filter
may be used.
∙ F illing with ground coffee:
For each regular-sized cup (125 ml), a
measure of about 6 g (= 1½ - 2 teaspoons)
of medium ground coffee will be required.
Close the swing-out filter afterwards.
∙ P reparing the glass carafe:
Fit the 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 filter holder during the
brewing cycle.
∙ S tarting the brewing cycle:
Insert the plug into a suitable wall outlet
and use the On/Off switch to turn the coffee
maker on. The filtration cycle starts and
the water passes through the filter.
∙ R emoving the glass carafe:
Wait until all the water has passed through
the filter before the carafe is removed from
the appliance.
∙ K eeping the coffee warm:
The coffee may be kept warm inside the
carafe by leaving it standing on the hot-
plate. The plate is kept hot for around 35
minutes after brewing is complete.
∙ I nterrupting the brewing/keeping-
warm cycle:
To interrupt the brewing cycle, or if the
keeping-warm function is not needed, use
the On/Off switch to turn the appliance off.
∙ S witching off the coffee maker:
Once brewing/keeping-warm is complete,
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 insufficient 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 difficult 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 40 ml of vinegar essence with the
indicated maximum amount of cold
water.
∙ Pour the descaling solution into the
water container, insert a paper filter
into the filter holder without adding
any ground coffee as described in
section Making coffee, and let the
appliance run through one filtration
