Before using for the fi rst time
Before making coff ee for the fi rst time, let the
appliance go through two or three fi ltration
cycles using the indicated maximum amount
of cold water, but without using ground coff ee.
Th is should also be done if the appliance has
not been used for an extended period of time,
and aft er descaling.
General information
– A measuring scale on the water container
facilitates fi lling the container with the
correct amount of clean water. With a
dual-scale, the left scale is used for regular-
sized cups of approx. 125ml, while the right
scale is used for smaller cups. Make sure
that the indicated maximum amount of
water is not exceeded.
Caution: the hot water outlet is integrated
in the water container lid. Do not attempt
to open the lid while brewing is in
progress, as the hot water outlet will be
exposed: there is a danger of scalding.
If several consecutive brewing cycles are
required, switch off the coff ee maker aft er
each cycle and let the appliance cool down
for approx. 5 minutes.
Important note:
appliance with fresh water shortly aft er
a brewing cycle is completed, there is
a danger of scalding from hot water or
steam escaping through the water outlet.
Making coff ee
– Filling with water:
Open the water container lid and fi ll the
container with the required quantity of
water.
– Inserting the paper fi lter:
Open the swing-out fi lter and insert a size-4
paper fi lter, fi rst folding down the perforated
sides of the fi lter.
– Filling with ground coff ee:
For each regular-sized cup (125ml), a measure
of about 6 g (= 1½ - 2 teaspoons) of medium
or fi nely ground coff ee will be required. Close

– Preparing the glass carafe:
Fit the aroma protection lid or the drip-
through lid onto the carafe, and then place
the carafe into the appliance. If correctly
inserted, the lid will disable the drip-stop
mechanism in the swing-out fi lter during the
brewing cycle.
– Starting the brewing cycle:
Insert the plug into a suitable wall outlet and
use the On/Off switch to switch the coff ee
maker on. Th e fi ltration cycle starts and the
water passes through the fi lter.
– Removing the glass carafe:
Wait until all the water has passed through
the fi lter before the carafe is removed from the
appliance. To keep the coff ee hot for as long
as possible, remove the aroma protection lid
and use the screw-in lid to close the carafe.
– Switching off the coff ee maker:
Always switch off the appliance aft er use and
remove the plug from the wall socket.
Coff ee maker with drip-through lid
During the fi ltering process and while
pouring the coff ee out, the drip-through lid
does not need to be removed and should
remain on the jug. To pour the coff ee, turn
the lid counter-clockwise about half a turn so
that the arrow on the lid is aligned with the
pouring spout.
Heat-retaining carafe
– For technical reasons the screw-in lid does
not close hermetically. Th erefore always
hold the carafe in an upright position when
fi lled with coff ee.
– Keeping the coff ee hot
carafe accumulates heat energy. Th erefore
the carafe should preferably be fi lled to
its maximum capacity. If it is only partly
fi lled, the temperature will not be held as
effi ciently. If you rinse out the carafe with
hot water before use, the coff ee will be kept
warm for a longer time.
Th e interior of the heat-retaining carafe insert
consists of high quality double-walled glass
