The Solution
If you wish to keep your coffee warm for more than 40

immediately after brewing. Switch off and unplug the
appliance.
Unplug the appliance and get in contact with an authori-
sed service centre for examination and repair.
Press the ON/OFF button. Then, fill the water tank with
at least 0.25 litres of water, and try again. Do not start
operation without any water in the water tank. There is
no way of activating the warming plate without perfor-
ming a brewing cycle.
Try again, pressing the AUTO button twice more quickly.
Press the AUTO button twice quickly to display and adjust
the current starting time. Then try again (see: "Starting
Operation via the Timer").
After setting the starting time, you can only activate the
timer once. If you wish to activate the timer again with
the same starting time, press the AUTO button twice
quickly to switch to timer setting mode. Thereafter, timer
controlled operation will be available again. There is no
need to select another starting time.
