time for the appliance to cool down
before it is opened or any accessories or
attachments are removed.
∙ Always remove the plug from the wall
socket
- in case of any malfunction,
- after use, and also
- before cleaning the appliance.
∙ When removing the plug from the wall
socket, never pull on the power cord;
always grip the plug itself.
∙ Do not allow the power cord to hang free;
the cord must be kept well away from hot
parts of the appliance.
∙ No responsibility will be accepted if
damage results from improper use, or if
these instructions are not complied with.
∙ Caution: The water reservoir heats up
during operation.
First use
∙ Before making coffee for the fi rst time,
let the appliance go through two or
three fi ltration cycles using the indicated
maximum amount of cold water, but
without using ground coffee. This should
also be done if the appliance has not
been used for an extended period of time,
and after descaling.
Making coffee
∙ Open the swing-out fi lter holder and take
off the fi lter holder lid.
∙ Insert a size-4 paper fi lter into the fi lter
insert, fi rst folding down the perforated
sides of the fi lter.
∙ We recommend the use of fi ne-ground
coffee:
∙ for normal-size cups use around 6 g (=
2 teaspoons) of ground coffee;
∙ for small cups use around 4g (= 1½
12
teaspoons.
∙ Depending on your personal taste, the
actual quantity used may vary.
∙ Replace the fi lter holder lid and close the
swing-out fi lter.
∙ Open the lid of the fresh-water container
and fi ll it with the desired quantity of cold
water, observing the minimum fi ll amount
(2 cups).
∙ Two measuring scales on the valve unit
help you to fi nd the correct amount of
fresh water:
∙ left scale for normal-size cups (around
125 ml).
∙ right scale for small cups.
∙ Caution: To prevent boiling water from
being forced out, be careful not to exceed
the maximum water level of 8 medium-
sized cups.
∙ Close the water reservoir lid. This is
important as the Vapotronic system can
only operate when the lid is closed
∙ Fit the aroma-protection lid on the carafe,
and then place the carafe on the base
plate.
∙ Press the On/Off button; the indicator
light comes on and the heating process
starts. With the water reservoir fi lled to its
maximum, it will take about 5 minutes to
bring the water to the boil.
∙ Once the optimum brewing temperature
has been reached, the valve opens and
the brewing cycle begins.
∙ The Vapotronic system will switch off the
heating process automatically.
∙ The coffee starts fl owing through the fi lter
into the heat-preserving carafe.
∙ The indicator light goes out once the
fi ltration cycle is complete.
∙ To interrupt the brewing cycle, press the
