■ Remove any stickers or film.
■ Pull enough of the power cable out of the
storage compartment and plug in.

nine cups of water.

Brewing coffee

underneath the filter holder.

brewing cycle.
Note: The appliance has an automatic
auto off (power save) function, which
switches it off after a period of about
40 minutes.
Important: When the brewing process
is complete, wait a moment until all the
coffee has run through the filter and into the
carafe.

minutes before brewing a fresh pot.

Coffee-making 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
