• After releasing the button „TIMER", the current
time appears again after 2 seconds. The choosen
starting time for brewing process is programmed. It
remains until a new starting time will be programmed
or when the appliance disconnected from socket.

expires.
• The brewing process can be started independently
from timer-function by pressing the "ON/OFF"
button.
Adjustable warmkeeping time
Longterm warmkeeping of the coffee on the warming-
plate leads to loss of taste. Therefore we recommend
a warmkeeping time for not longer than 30 minutes.
This time is presetted for securing an optimal coffee
quality and also to avoid unneeded energy consumption.
If you want to keep your coffee warm for a longer
time, you can set the time in 4 steps until appliance
switches off automatically.
• For setting the warmkeeping time keep the
"ON/OFF" button pressed. 0:30 appears in the
display.
• Set the needed warmkeeping time by pressing the
"MIN" button in 30 minutes steps (up to 2 hours
max.)
• After releasing the "ON/OFF" button, the current
time appears again after 2 seconds. Last setting
maintains even when the appliance will be discon-
nected from socket.

Descaling programme

To secure a proper function of the appliance, it has to
be descaled regularly. We recommend to use Swirl
Oxy-Power or Swirl Citrus-Clean. To simplify this
®
necessary process, the appliance is equipped with a
descaling programme.
