Timer Function; Coffee-Making Tips - Siemens TC86504 Instruction Manual

Timer function

This coffee machine is equipped with a
timer.
It lets you set the time at which the ma-
chine will automatically start the brewing
process. The timer works only if the ma-
chine is turned on or in power-save mode.
● The clock must be set to the correct cur-
rent time.
● Press and hold down the button 16 prog
while programming the timer (Fig. a).
● Use button 14 h to set the hour and but-
ton 15 min to set the minute at which you
want the brewing to start. (Figs. b and c).
● Release button 16 prog to save the
start time. The display 13 shows a little
V
clock to indicate that the timer function
is activated.
● Fill the machine with water and coffee as
usual and place the carafe 6 under the
filter housing 3.
● The brewing process will start automati-
cally at the set time; the little clock
disappears.
Note: To check the programmed time,
press and hold down the button 16 prog.
Turning the timer function on/off
Press button 16 prog. If the little clock
lights up, the timer function is on. If the little
V
clock turns off, the timer function is off.
Note: If you turn off the coffee machine
with switch 7 or the power supply is inter-
rupted (plug not plugged in, power failure),
the clock and timer settings will be stored
for approximately four days. If the power
interruption lasts longer, you must reset the
clock.
Tip: If you do not use the appliance for a
longer period of time, turn it off with switch 7.
Low water indicator J
This coffee machine senses if the water
volume in the water tank is low (less than
approx. 4 cups).
If the water level is low, J lights up and
the machine automatically increases the
brewing time. This ensures that the coffee
retains its ideal flavour.

Coffee-making tips

V
Store ground coffee in a cool place; you
can also freeze it.
Once a package of coffee has been
opened, close it tightly to maintain its
aroma.
How the coffee beans are roasted affects
their taste and aroma.
Darker roast = more flavour
Lighter roast = more acidity
Cleaning

it in the dishwasher!
Don't steam-clean the appliance.
