CHLORINE FILTER
This filter removes the taste of chlorine from the water.
Install as follows:
• Remove the chlorine filter from its plastic bag and
rinse under the tap.
• Raise the coffee lid and lift out the filter holder (fig. 1).
• Open the holder by pushing where indicated
PUSH and fit the filter carefully as shown in fig. 2.
• Close the holder and replace by pushing down well.
• After 80 cycles or six months operation, the
chlorine filter must be changed. The filter is of
vegetable origin and can therefore be discarded
with normal household rubbish.

PREPARING THE COFFEE

• Fill the carafe with cold water up to the level
(marked on the carafe) which corresponds to the
number of cups of coffee required (fig. 3).
Warning: never exceed the 10 cup line to avoid
water leaking from the machine's rear slots.
• Pour the water into the tank (fig. 4). (The amount
of coffee obtained will be slightly less than the
amount of water poured into the tank because
some of the water remains in the coffee powder
and some is lost in steam).
• Place the carafe on the hotplate (S) making sure
the lid is on. The perforations in the lid serve to
preserve the coffee's aroma, which is why the lid
should be raised on the handle side in order for it
to be opened. (fig.3)
• Put the coffee in the filter by using the measuring
spoon supplied and level it off uniformly (fig. 5).
As a general rule, use a level measure of coffee
(approx. 7 gr.) for each cup required (e.g. 10
measures to obtain 10 cups). However, the
amount of coffee to be used can vary according
to personal taste.
• Use good quality medium ground coffee specially
for coffee percolators.
• Close the lid and press the "coffee" switch (fig. 6).
The red "ON" light on the left of the switch shows
that the machine is working. The coffee will begin
to brew after a few seconds and will finish doing
so at the sound of the characteristic gurgle which
means the process has finished.
It is entirely normal for the machine to emit steam
during the coffee percolating or for a few drops of
condensation to form around the lid. By leaving the
"coffee" switch pressed after brewing, the hotplate (S) will
keep the coffee in the carafe at just the right hot
temperature.
