To make coffee, the carafe with the lid on must be set
on the hotplate and the filter basket must be snapped
in place (due to the «drip stop»). If you should forget to
do so, a built-in overflow feature will protect the filter
basket from overflowing.
Remove the filter basket to empty grounds (8) (see
«Cleaning»).
Keeping the coffee hot
The carafe rests on a hotplate that starts to heat up
when the coffeemaker is switched on; it stays turned
on until the coffeemaker is switched off (pilot light
goes out).
The appliance is protected against overheating by
several special safety components.
Cleaning
Always pull the plug out of the socket before cleaning.
The appliance must never be cleaned under running
water and must never be immersed in water. Swing
out the filter basket, push up, then pull off downward
diagonally 8 . To replace, insert the top first. To clean,
take the lid off the carafe
The glass carafe, the lid and the filter basket can be
washed in the dishwasher. Clean all other parts with
a damp cloth only. Put the lid back on the carafe
Clean the hotplate with liquid cleansers only. Do not
use abrasive cleansers.
Decalcifying
If you have hard water, decalcify the appliance
occasionally. The frequency depends on the hardness
of your water and how often you use the coffee maker.
Whenever your coffeemaker takes much longer than
normal to brew, the appliance should be decalcified.
To decalcify your Braun coffeemaker, only use straight
2 , vinegar (in 5 % solution). Pour 1/2 liter of straight
vinegar into the water container.
Set the glass carafe with lid on the hotplate, snap the
filter basket (without paper filter) in place and switch
on the appliance. Let half of the straight vinegar flow
through. Switch off the appliance and leave for about
10 minutes. Then switch on the appliance again
allowing the residues to flow through.
Repeat this procedure as many times as necessary
until the flow rate returns to normal (approx. 1 cup/
minute). Use a clean vinegar solution for each cycle.
Run two cycles of clean water through the unit to
return to normal.
Subject to change without notice.
