SEVERIN KA 9250 Instructions For Use Manual page 14

∙ Caution: Do not attempt to open the lid
while brewing is in progress: there is a
danger of scalding.
∙ If several consecutive brewing cycles
are required, allow the appliance to cool
down for 5 minutes or so after each
cycle.
∙ Important note: When filling 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
∙ F illing with water:
Open the lid and fill the container with the
required quantity of water.
∙ I nserting the paper filter:
Open the swing-out filter and insert a
size-4 paper filter, first folding down the
perforated sides of the filter.
∙ F illing with ground coffee:
For each regular-sized cup (125 ml), a
measure of about 6 g (= 1½ - 2 teaspoons)
of medium or finely ground coffee will be
required. Close the swing-out filter and the
lid afterwards.
∙ P reparing the carafe:
Fit the drip-through lid onto the carafe, and
close it so that the two arrow marks are
facing each other. Place the carafe into
the appliance. If correctly inserted, the lid
will disable the drip-stop mechanism in the
swing-out filter during the brewing cycle.
∙ S tarting the brewing cycle:
Put the plug into a suitable wall outlet and
use the On/Off button to turn the coffee
maker on. The filtration cycle starts and the
14
water passes through the filter. Shortly after
completion of the brewing process, the
appliance switches off automatically.
∙ R emoving the carafe:
Wait until all the water has passed through
the filter before the carafe is removed from
the appliance.
To pour the coffee, turn the lid counter-
clockwise about half a turn so that the
arrow on the lid is aligned with the pouring
spout.
After serving, turn the lid clockwise until the
two arrows are facing each other.
∙ S witching off the coffee maker:
Always remove the plug from the wall outlet
once brewing is complete.
∙ I nterrupting the brewing cycle:
The brewing cycle can be interrupted by
pressing the On/Off button again.
Heat-retaining carafe
∙ For technical reasons the screw-in lid
does not close hermetically. Therefore
always hold the carafe in an upright
position when filled with coffee.
∙ Keeping the coffee hot: A heat-
conserving carafe accumulates heat
energy. Therefore, the carafe should
preferably be filled to its maximum
capacity. If it is only partly filled,
the temperature will not be held as
efficiently. If you rinse out the carafe
with hot water before use, the coffee will
be kept warm for a longer time.
∙ The interior of the heat-retaining carafe
insert consists of high-quality double-
walled glass with a vacuum in-between
for better insulation. Any streaks or
bubble marks inside the carafe looking
