Making Coffee; Heat-Retaining Carafe - SEVERIN CAFE CAPRICE Instructions For Use Manual

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
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
12
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
On/Off button again to turn the appliance
off.
∙ Remove the carafe from the base plate.
∙ Take off the aroma-protection lid and
replace it with the screw-in lid for the
carafe.
∙ The freshly brewed coffee can be poured
without having to remove the screw-in lid.
∙ To pour, simply rotate the screw-in lid anti-
clockwise half a turn. Turn the lid back
again after pouring.
∙ Should you wish to start several brewing
cycles one after the other, allow the
machine to cool down for at least 5
minutes with the reservoir lid open before
re-using it. Use cold water only to refi ll the
water reservoir.
Warning: Remember that the water
reservoir and its lid are still hot after the
brewing cycle has been completed and hot
steam may escape from the reservoir when
opening the lid (danger of scalding).

Heat-retaining carafe

∙ For technical reasons the screw-in lid
does not close hermetically. Therefore,
