by depressing switch (2) (illustration
IV). The pilot light on the right-hand
side will illuminate. The water in the
reservoir is now brought to the boil.
With the water reservoir filled to its
maximum capacity, it will take about 5
minutes to heat the water.
- Once the perfect brewing temperature
has been reached the valve inside the
water reservoir opens and the brewing
cycle begins.
- The water reservoir element will switch
off automatically and the pilot light on
the right-hand side will go out.
- The water starts to flow through the
filter holder into the glass jug (9). The
filtering process is complete when the
total amount of water has passed
through and no water is left in the filter
holder.
- When removing the glass jug (9) from
the machine once the filtering process is
complete, the non-drip valve of the filter
holder will close and prevent coffee
from dripping onto the hotplate of the
machine.
- We recommend you to stir the coffee
before serving.
- To keep remaining coffee hot, replace
the glass jug (9) back onto the hotplate
(10).
- The hotplate (10) will keep the coffee
hot as long as you leave it switched on.
- The plastic filter can be removed for
cleaning (illustration V).
●
This coffee maker has been designed for
domestic use only. Should you wish to
start several brewing cycles one after
the other, allow the machine to cool
down for at least 5 minutes with the
reservoir lid open before re-using it. Use
cold water only to refill the water
reservoir.
Warning! Remember that the water
reservoir and the reservoir lid are still hot
after the brewing cycle has been completed
and hot steam may escape from the
reservoir when opening the lid (danger of
scalding)!
Cable storage
The cable storage space serves for storing
the cable and for the limitation of its length
(illustration VI).
Cleaning and care
●
Before cleaning your coffee maker,
always make sure that the plug has been
removed from the mains supply socket.
For safety reasons the coffee maker
should not be treated with water or
liquids and should never be immersed.
- Wipe the body of the machine with a
clean damp cloth and dry afterwards. To
prevent the valve of the water reservoir
from getting clogged, use a non-fluffy
cloth to clean the water reservoir and
the glass jug.
- The glass jug (9), its lid (8), the filter lid
(5) and the plastic filter (6) are
dishwasher safe.
- Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners.
Descaling
In order to maintain the excellent quality of
your coffee maker, we recommend you to
descale the machine at regular intervals.
Descaling is needed when
- the brewing cycle takes longer than
normal,
- there is build-up of deposits inside the
water reservoir or on the valve unity,
- the valve of the water reservoir has
become leaky.
For descaling we recommend using a
mixture of min. 0.25 litre of water and 2
tablespoonful of vinegar.
- Place a paper filter into the plastic filter
(without using ground coffee).
- Fill the cold descaling mixture into the
water reservoir (4).
- Switch on the machine and allow it to
complete the brewing cycle. To clean
the machine after descaling operate it
twice or three times with fresh cold
water only (without using ground
