Low water indicator J
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, J lights up and
the machine automatically increases the
brewing time. This ensures that the coffee
retains its ideal flavour.

Thermos carafe
Important: Never use the carafe for
keeping dairy products or baby food warm,
because bacteria may form. Do not heat
the carafe in the microwave or in a regular
oven. Never use the carafe to store or
transport carbonated beverages.
Carefully rinse the carafe after each use.
To keep the lid from permanently vacuum­
sealing itself shut, it was designed to not
close hermetically. Since the thermos carafe
may leak, you should always store and
transport it in an upright position.
The thermos carafe holds approximately
8 cups.
The lid of the thermos carafe can be
opened with the release switch 19.
● Open lid (Fig. d)
● Close lid (Fig. e)
● Remove lid (Fig. f)

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
