BREWING
1. Open the water tank lid (Fig. C-5) and pour 150 ml of
fresh cold water.
Pour water until the "LIMIT" island (Fig. F-17) just
sinks.

of the overflow opening (Fig. F-18).
2. Remove the filter holder (Fig. C-8) with filter (Fig. C-7)
from the appliance, put 6.5 gram of ground coffee
into the filter using the measure (Fig. C-14), and then
reinsert the filter holder in the appliance.
NOTE
• Place the filter correctly in the filter holder (Fig. G-8).
Otherwise, the filter holder cannot be inserted
correctly.

• With AC operation, a brewing cycle takes approx. 3
minutes, while with battery operation, it takes approx. 7
minutes (the cycle time varies depending on the amount
of water, temperature, and other conditions). The longer
the brewing cycle, the stronger the coffee.
CAUTION
• To reduce the risk of scalding, do not remove the filter
holder (Fig. C-8) during the brewing cycle.
• When the brewing section marked with
steaming, do not touch it.
• Steam builds up under the filter holder (Fig. C-8).

brewing cycle.
• After the brewing cycle completes, wait at least 5
minutes before removing the filter holder.
• If another brewing cycle is to be started, wait at least
