Setting the clock

(certain models only)
Plug the appliance into the mains socket. The first time it comes
on, "0:00" appears on the display. To set the exact time, press
and hold the SET CLOCK button (R) (fig. 1) until the current time
is displayed, then release. The time can be set at any moment.
How to make drip coffee
Please note: the first time the appliance is used, all ac-
cessories and the internal circuits must be washed through by
making at least two jugs of coffee without using pre-ground
coffee.
• Open the door at the front by pulling the handle (E) and
use the jug to pour clean cold water into the water fill com-
partment (F) up to the level indicated for the number of
cups of coffee you want to make. check the level of water
in the tank through the level window (D) (fig. 3). You are
recommended to use the jug provided as a measure as the
maximum capacity of the jug and the tank are the same.
• Position the permanent filter (H) (if present) in the filter
holder (G) (fig. 4). In versions without permanent filter, use
the paper filter (size 1x4).
• Place the pre-ground coffee in the filter using the measu-
re (C) provided and level evenly (fig. 5). See the table for
recommended quantities. Use good quality, medium pre-
ground coffee for drip coffee makers.
