SEVERIN KA 4821 Instructions For Use Manual page 14

Before using for the first time
∙ Unpack the appliance completely and
remove all packaging materials and
stickers.
∙ Clean the jug and filter insert as
described in the section Cleaning and
care.
∙ Before making coffee for the first time,
let the appliance go through two or
three filtration 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.
Automatic switch-off
To save energy, the appliance (including
the hot-plate) will switch itself off
automatically about 35 minutes after the
brewing cycle is complete.
Power-cord storage compartment
The integrated power-cord storage
compartment at the rear is used for storing
the power cord.
The recess at the bottom facilitates limiting
the length of the power cord.
Making coffee - general information
∙ The measuring scales on the water
container and glass jug help measuring
the correct amount of clean water. The
left scales are used for standard-sized
cups of approx.125ml, the right scales
for smaller cups.
∙ Make sure that the indicated maximum
amount of water or number of cups is not
exceeded.

∙ 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.
∙ Caution: 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
1. Filling with water:
Open the water container and fill it with the
desired quantity of water, then close the lid.
2. Preparing the jug:
Replace the lid on the jug, and then place
it in the appliance. If correctly inserted, the
lid will disable the drip-stop mechanism in
the filter holder during the brewing cycle.
3. Inserting the paper filter:
Open the swing-out filter sideways and
insert a size-4 paper filter into the filter
holder, first folding down the perforated
sides of the filter.
4. Filling with ground coffee:
For each regular-sized cup (125ml), a
measure of about 6 g (= 1½ - 2 teaspoons)
of medium or finely ground coffee will
be required. Close the swing-out filter
afterwards.
5. Connecting the appliance:
Insert the power plug.
6. Starting the brewing cycle:
Use the button to switch the coffee
maker on. The filtration cycle starts and the
water passes through the filter.
7. Removing the jug:
Wait until all the water has passed through;
the jug can now be removed.
