SEVERIN KA 4130 Instructions For Use Manual page 11

Before using for the fi rst time
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.
General information
∙ A measuring scale on the water container
facilitates fi lling the container with the
correct amount of clean water. With
a dual-scale, the left scale is used for
regular-sized cups of approx.125ml, while
the right scale is used for smaller cups.
Make sure that the indicated maximum
amount of water is not exceeded.
∙ Caution: Do not attempt to open the
swing-out fi lter while brewing is in
progress: there is a danger of scalding.
∙ If several consecutive brewing cycles
are required, switch off the coffee maker
after each cycle and let the appliance cool
down for approx. 5 minutes.
∙ Important note: When fi lling the
appliance with fresh water shortly after
a brewing cycle is completed, there is
a danger of scalding from hot water or
steam escaping through the water outlet.
Making coffee
∙ Filling with water:
Open the water container lid, fi ll the
container with the required quantity of water
and close the lid again.
∙ Inserting the paper fi lter:
Open the swing-out fi lter and fi t the fi lter
insert, folding down the handle so that it is
properly locked. Insert a size-4 paper fi lter,
fi rst folding down the perforated sides of
the fi lter.
∙ Filling with ground coffee:
For each regular-sized cup (125 ml), a
measure of about 6 g (= 1½ - 2 teaspoons)
of medium or fi nely ground coffee will be
required.
∙ Preparing the glass carafe:
FFit the drip-through lid onto the carafe,
turning it clockwise to lock it, and place
the carafe into the appliance. If correctly
inserted, the lid will disable the drip-stop
mechanism in the swing-out fi lter during the
brewing cycle.
∙ Starting the brewing cycle:
Insert the plug into a suitable wall outlet
and press the On/Off switch briefl y to switch
the coffee maker on. To select the aroma
function, keep the On/Off switch pressed
for about 2 seconds until the indicator light
begins to fl ash. The fi ltration cycle starts and
the water passes through the fi lter.
∙ Removing the glass carafe:
Wait until all the water has passed through
the fi lter before the carafe is removed from
the appliance.
∙ Switching off the coffee maker:
Always switch off the appliance after use and
remove the plug from the wall socket.
Drip-through lid
During the fi ltering process and while
pouring the coffee out, the drip-through lid
does not need to be removed and should
remain on the jug. Press the lid-opening
lever to pour the coffee.
Heat-retaining carafe
∙ For technical reasons the lid does not
close hermetically. Therefore always hold
the carafe in an upright position when
fi lled with coffee.
