clean it.
• For the best coffee enjoyment and convenient use,
the appliance is equipped with various features.
These features are explained below.

3. Setting the hotplate

Keeping coffee warm on the hotplate affects the taste
of your coffee. To avoid this you should enjoy your
coffee fresh, by drinking it as soon after brewing as
possible. Unnecessary warming also uses valuable en-
ergy. The factory settings for the appliance are for 40
minutes of warming. After this the hotplate turns off
automatically. This time can be changed as needed:
• Hold down the START-button  and by briefly
pressing the h-button  set the desired time
(20, 40 or 60 minutes). The current warming
time will be shown in the display .
• Once you have set the desired warming time
let go of the button. Your setting is now saved.
• The last setting chosen remains even after removing
the power cable.

4. Making coffee

• Ensure that the appliance is connected to
the power source.
• Open the lid on the water tank .
• Fill the water tank with the desired amount of water
using the glass pot. With the help of the water level
display on the tank  you can choose the correct
number of cups.
Small cup symbol = approx. 85 ml coffee per cup,
large cup symbol = approx. 125 ml coffee per cup.
• Close the lid on the water tank and place the glass
pot with closed lid in the appliance.
• Open the swivel filter  to the left.
• Fold a Melitta
and place it in the filter holder . Press the filter bag
into the filter holder by hand, to ensure a good fit.
• Put the ground coffee into the filter. The amount
depends on your personal taste. We recommend
using 6 g of ground coffee per large cup.
• Swivel the filter back into the appliance.
• Turn the appliance on . Brewing begins.
Custo-
®
• After making your coffee the hotplate will keep it
warm and will turn off automatically after the time
you have set (see point 3). This avoids unnecessary
use of electricity and saves energy. You can of course
turn the machine off manually at any time.
• The drip stop prevents your coffee from dripping
when you remove the pot from the appliance .
