∙ Filling 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
afterwards.
∙ Preparing the glass carafe:
Fit the aroma protection lid onto the
carafe, and then place the carafe into the
appliance. If correctly inserted, the lid will
disable the drip-stop mechanism in the filter
holder during the brewing cycle.
∙ Starting the brewing cycle:
Insert the plug into a suitable wall socket
and use the On/Off switch
coffee maker on. The filtration cycle starts
and the water passes through the filter.
∙ Removing the glass carafe:
Wait until all the water has passed through
the filter before the carafe is removed from
the appliance.
∙ Switching off the coffee maker:
The coffee may be kept warm inside the
carafe by leaving it standing on the hot-
plate. Once the last cup has been poured,
press to switch the coffee maker off.
Unless the appliance is switched off
manually, the hot-plate remains hot for
around 35 minutes after the brewing
cycle, when the appliance will switch itself
off automatically. Always switch off the
appliance after use and remove the plug
from the wall socket.

Descaling
∙ Depending on the water quality (lime
content) in your area as well as the
frequency of use, all thermal household
appliances using hot water need
descaling (i.e. removal of lime deposits)
on a regular basis to warrant proper
functioning.
∙ Any warranty claim will be null and
void if the appliance malfunctions
because of insufficient descaling.
