precautions involved.
∙ Children must not be permitted to
play with the appliance.
∙ Children must not be permitted
to carry out any cleaning or
maintenance work on the appliance
unless they are supervised and at
least 8 years of age.
∙ The appliance and its power cord
must be kept well away from children
under 8 at all times.
∙ Caution: Keep any packaging materials
well away from children – these are
a potential source of danger, e.g. of
suffocation.
∙ Every time the appliance is used, the
main body including the power cord as
well as any attachment fi tted should
be checked thoroughly for any defects.
Should the appliance, for instance, have
been dropped onto a hard surface, or if
excessive force has been used to pull the
power cord, it must no longer be used:
even invisible damage may have adverse
ef-fects on the operational safety of the
appliance.
∙ Before use, make sure that the handle of
the glass carafe is properly and securely
fi tted. If necessary, the metal ring may be
tightened by means of the screw in the
handle.
∙ During operation, the coffee maker must
be placed on a level, non-slip surface,
impervious to splashes and stains.
∙ Do not allow the appliance or its power
cord to touch hot surfaces or to come into
contact with any heat sources.
∙ Caution: the hot-plate becomes very hot
during operation.
∙ To prevent the danger of hot water or
steam being emitted, always switch off
the coffee maker and allow suffi cient
time for the appliance to cool down
before it is opened or any accessories or
attachments are removed.
∙ Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
∙ Remove the plug from the wall socket
- in case of any malfunction,
- during cleaning,
- if the appliance is not being used for an
extended period of time.
∙ When removing the plug from the wall
socket, never pull on the power cord;
always grip the plug itself.
∙ Do not allow the power cord to hang free;
the cord must be kept well away from hot
parts of the appliance.
∙ No responsibility will be accepted if
damage results from improper use, or if
these instructions are not complied with.
Before using for the fi rst time
Before making coffee 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 coffee. This should also be done
if the appliance has not been used for an
extended period of time, and after descaling.
General information

and on the glass carafe 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
