Fill the fresh water container with cold
water up to the top cup graduation.
Switch on the appliance and allow the
water to flow into the coffee jug with-
out a filter paper or coffee. Pour away
the water that has run through the
appliance.

Making Coffee

1. Fill with Water (Figure 3)
Lift the lid on the fresh water con-
tainer. Fill the container with clear,
cold tap water.
Never use hot water. Also, please never
1
fill the fresh water container with milk,
coffee, tea, etc.
You can use the coffee jug to add the
desired amount of water. There are cup
graduations
– on the coffee jug and
– on the water level gauge
(Figure 1/B).
The graduations apply to the quantity
of water used to make the coffee. The
actual quantity of coffee is less
because ground coffee absorbs water.
Close the lid again on the fresh water
container.
2. Insert a Filter Paper (Figure 4)
To open the filter, reach into the
recessed grip and swivel it to the left.
Place a size 4 paper filter in the filter
holder. Before placing in position,
please fold over the perforated sides.
3. Fill with Ground Coffee
(Figure 5)
Please use "medium" ground coffee.
The amount of coffee required depends
on your taste. One measurement spoon
(approx. 6-7 g) per cup is sufficient for
medium strength coffee. Swivel the fil-
ter back until it clicks into place.
4. Place the Coffee Jug with Lid
on the Hotplate
5. Switch on the Appliance
(Figure 6)
Your coffee machine has an aroma
switch (depending on the model). The
aroma switch guarantees a full coffee
flavour even with smaller quantities of
coffee (1-4 cups).
– 1-4 cups of coffee: toggle switch in
position "min-4" (Figure 6 A).
– 5-10 cups of coffee: put the toggle
switch in position "5-max"
(Figure 6 A).
Now switch the appliance on at the
On/Off switch (Figure 6 B). The power
light illuminates.
After a few seconds hot water flows
into the filter. Once all the water has
passed through, the coffee is kept
warm on the hotplate.
You should stir the coffee in the jug so
3
that it is of even strength.
6. Remove the Jug
When the jug is removed the filter
valve prevents drips falling onto the
hotplate (Figure 7). It is therefore
important when positioning the inner
filter that you ensure the inner filter is
placed in the holder on the inside of
the swivel filter, and the handle is
locked when folded over (Figure 8).
The hotplate will keep the coffee at the
correct temperature for drinking. It
remains in operation until you switch
off the appliance and the power light
extinguishes. Should you forget to
switch off the coffee machine manu-
ally, then the appliance will automati-
cally switch off after approx. 2 hours
(depending on the model). When all
the water has passed through the filter
and you want to add more water for
another brew, you should switch off
the appliance and leave it to cool for
approx. 5 minutes.
