or steam escaping through the water
outlet.
Making coffee
∙ Filling with water:
Open the water container lid, fill the
container with the desired quantity of water
and replace the lid.
∙ Inserting the paper filter:
Open the swing-out filter sideways and
insert a size-4 paper filter into the filter
holder, first folding down the perforated
sides of the filter.
∙ Filling with ground coffee:
For each regular-sized cup (125 ml), a
measure of about 6 g (= 1½ - 2 tea-spoons)
of medium or finely ground coffee will
be required. Close the swing-out filter
afterwards.
∙ Preparing the glass jug:
Fit the lid onto the jug, and then place the
jug into the appliance. If correctly inserted,
the lid will disable the drip-stop mechanism
in the filter holder during the brewing cycle.
∙ Starting the brewing cycle:
Insert the plug into a suitable wall outlet
and use the On/Off button to switch the
coffee maker on. The filtration cycle starts
and the water passes through the filter.
∙ Removing the glass jug:
Wait until all the water has passed through
the filter before the carafe is removed from
the appliance.
∙ Switching off the coffee maker:
Wait until all the water has passed through
the filter before the jug is removed from the
appliance.
∙ Keeping the coffee warm:
The coffee may be kept warm inside the jug
12
by leaving it standing on the hot-plate. The
plate is kept hot for around 35 minutes after
brewing is complete.
∙ Interrupting the brewing/keeping-
warm cycle:
To interrupt the brewing cycle, or if the
keeping-warm function is not needed,
press the On/Off button again to turn the
appliance off.
∙ Switching off the coffee maker:
Remove the plug from the wall socket once
brewing/keeping-warm is complete.
Descaling
∙ Depending on the water quality (lime
content) in your area as well as the
frequency of use, all thermal household
appliances using hot water need
descaling (i.e. removal of lime deposits)
on a regular basis to warrant proper
functioning.
∙ Any warranty claim will be null and
void if the appliance malfunctions
because of insufficient descaling.
∙ A lengthening of the brewing time and
increased noise during brewing indicate
that descaling of the coffee maker has
become necessary.
∙ An excessive build-up of lime deposits
is very difficult to remove, even when
strong descaling agents are used. It
may also cause the brewing system to
leak. We therefore strongly recommend
descaling the appliance after each thirty
to forty brewing cycles. For descaling, a
vinegar solution may be used as follows:
∙ Mix 80 ml of vinegar essence with the
indicated maximum amount of cold
water.
