Before using
for the first time
● Remove any stickers or film.
● Pull enough of the power cable out of the
storage compartment 12 and plug in.
● To clean, fill water tank with 6 cups of
water and replace it. Press the ON/OFF
switch 7 O; cleaning program starts.
● Repeat the cleaning process.
Note: You may notice a „new machine"
smell; this is normal. If this is the case, fill
with a vinegar solution (1 cup of vinegar
for 5 cups of water) and run the cleaning
program. Next, rinse the machine twice with
6 cups of water.
● Clean the carafe thoroughly.

Brewing coffee

● Remove the water tank 1, fill it with water
and replace it.
● Flip out the filter housing 3 and let it
engage.
● Insert a 1x4 paper filter in the filter holder
4 and add the desired amount of coffee.
● Flip back the filter housing 3 until it
engages.
● Place the glass carafe 6 with the lid
closed under the filter housing 3.
● Press the ON/OFF switch 7 O to start the
brewing cycle. At the same time, the auto
off function is activated; the display lights
up.
Note: The machine has an auto off (power
save) function, which switches it off after
approximately two hours.
Important: When the brewing process
is complete, wait a moment until all the
coffee has run through the filter and into
the carafe.
Let the machine cool down for five
minutes before brewing a fresh pot.

Low water indicator K
This coffee machine senses if the water
volume in the water tank is low (less than
approx. 4 cups).
If the water level is low, K lights up and
the machine automatically increases the
brewing time. This ensures that the coffee
retains its ideal flavour.
Coffee­making tips
Store ground coffee in a cool place; you
can also freeze it.
Once a package of coffee has been
opened, close it tightly to maintain its
aroma.
How the coffee beans are roasted affects
their taste and aroma.
Darker roast = more flavour
Lighter roast = more acidity
