Important
Do not use the appliance if the plug, the cord or the appliance itself is
damaged.
Thermos jug:
Do not disassemble the thermos jug.
To prevent water from entering the thermos jug, never immerse the jug
in water or any other liquid (fig. 17).
When the jug is filled with coffee, put it in upright position to prevent
leakage (fig. 18).
During brewing, the lower part of the appliance and the bottom of the
thermos jug will become hot.
Tip: preheating the jug with hot water will help to keep the coffee hot
after brewing. Please note that the coffee stays hot longer if you prepare
a full jug than if you prepare a smaller amount.
If the coffee maker has a longer brewing time or switches off before the
water tank is empty, you should descale the appliance (see 'Descaling)'.

ground coffee and water.
Before using the Active Balance System, please note the following:
Strength selector
Types HD7622, HD7624, HD7626, HD7634, HD7636.

(b).
If you prefer mild coffee, turn the knob to the left. If you prefer strong coffee,
turn the knob to the right (fig. 5).
Make sure the filter holder is in place when selecting the strength of your
coffee.

The indicator of the Active Balance System (d) can be put in 'OK' position by
turning the 'OK' knob to the left or to the right (fig. 6).
When putting the system in balance, make sure that:
- the filter holder is in place;
- the appliance does not contain any water and/or ground coffee.
3 First fill the water tank with water.The indicator of the Active Balance
System goes up (fig 7).
- The level indications apply to cups with a content of 120 ml.
- The level indications on the jug apply to an amount of water that is 10%
more than the total amount of coffee after brewing.This extra 10% is
needed to compensate for evaporation.
4 Put a paper filter (type 1x4 or no.4) in the filter holder (fig. 8).
Do not forget to fold the sealed edges of the filter in order to prevent tearing
and folding. Some versions come with a permanent filter. In this case you do
not need to use a paper filter.
5 Then fill the filter holder with coffee (filter-fine grind) until the
indicator of the Active Balance System has reached the 'OK' position
(fig. 9) and switch the appliance on.
6 Close the lid (fig. 10).
Switching the appliance on or off
1 Switch the appliance on by pressing the on/off button (fig. 3).
2 Switch the appliance off after use (fig. 4).

appliance will automatically switch itself off after two hours (auto switch-off).
- Types HD7634, HD7636:The appliance will switch itself off automatically
(auto switch-off) after brewing coffee.
3 Remove the paper filter and throw it away (fig. 11-12).

again.

coffee again.

maker:

- once every 4 months if you are using soft water (up to 18 DH).
Turn to your local water board for information about the water hardness in
your area.
