Before using your appliance

for the first time

To clean the appliance, flush twice with
9 cups of water. The new appliance may
emit a harmless odour.
In this case flush the appliance with a diluted
vinegar solution (2 cups of vinegar to 6 cups
of water), then flush the appliance twice with
9 cups of water.
Brewing coffee and keeping
it warm
Figs. 1 to 5
Fill the tank with water only, never milk
or instant drinks such as tea or coffee (this
will affect the taste of subsequent brews)!
Insert 1x4 filter bag into the filter holder.
Use medium ground coffee (we recommend
approx. 7 g per cup), add slightly more coffee
per cup for a few cups than for a larger
number of cups.
Brew at least three large cups, otherwise
the coffee will not have the required
temperature and strength.
= approx. 125 ml
The cup heater remains hot for some time
after the appliance was switched off.

= approx. 85 ml
Allow the automatic coffee maker to cool
down for 5 min. before refilling it with water.
Even tea can be prepared in this way.
Switch for cup selection
The strength and therefore the aroma
can be selected by switching to
(3–6 cups) or 7–10 (7–10 cups).

Cleaning and maintenance

Electric shock risk
Before cleaning the appliance, pull out
the mains plug.
Never immerse the appliance in water
or clean in the dishwasher.
Do not use a steam cleaner.
All parts which come into contact with coffee
should always be cleaned after use.
Residue will impair the taste.
All loose parts are dishwasher-proof, do not
place them over the heater or wedge them
into the dishwasher (deformation possible).
Wipe the outside of the housing with a damp
cloth only. Do not use scouring agents.

Descaling the appliance

Descale the appliance regularly, at the latest
if
– the brewing time becomes longer,
– excessive steam occurs,
– the appliance becomes louder.
Measure descaling agent according
to the manufacturer's specifications
and pour into the tank.
Leave the solution to stand for 5 min.,
then switch on the appliance, switch
off after 1 min. and leave to stand for 10 min.
Repeat at least three times (more frequently
depending on the calcification).
Flush residual solution out of the appliance.
