danger of scalding from hot water 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 (125ml), a
measure of about 6 g (= 1
1
/
2
- 2 teaspoons) of
medium or finely ground coffee will be
required. Close the swing-out filter
afterwards.
-
Preparing the glass carafe:
Fit the aroma protection 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 filter holder
during the brewing cycle.
-
Starting the brewing cycle:
Press the On/Off button twice to switch on
the coffee maker. The green indicator light I
comes on.
If the brewing cycle is to be started with a
delayed timer setting, press the PROG
button to verify that the timer has been set
to the desired time. Now press the On/Off
button once. The LCD display shows
AUTO, and the red indicator light AUTO
comes on. The coffee make automatically
switches on at the pre-programmed time.
-
Removing the glass carafe:
Wait until all the water has passed through
the filter before the carafe is removed from
the appliance.
-
Switching off the coffee maker:
The coffee may be kept warm inside the
carafe by leaving it standing on the hot-plate.
The plate stays warm for about 130 minutes,
but can also be switched off earlier by
pressing the On/Off button once. The green
indicator lamp I then goes out.
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.
● 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 2-3 tablespoons of vinegar with the
indicated maximum amount of cold
water.
-
Pour the descaling solution into the water
container, insert a paper filter into the
filter holder without adding any ground
coffee as described in section Making
coffee, and let the appliance run through
one filtration cycle. Repeat the
procedure if necessary. During descaling,
ensure sufficient ventilation and do not
inhale any vinegar vapours.
-
To clean the appliance after descaling, let
it run through 2-3 filtration cycles using
clean water only.
-
Do not pour descalers down enamel
sinks.
Cleaning and care
● Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is
disconnected from the power supply and
has cooled down completely.
● To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not
clean the appliance with water and do
not immerse it in water. The appliance
may be cleaned with a slightly damp
cloth, using a mild detergent. Wipe dry
afterwards.
