done if the appliance has not been used for
an extended period of time, and after
descaling.
General information
-
A measuring scale on the water
container facilitates filling 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 coffee maker
after each cycle and let the appliance cool
down for approx. 5 minutes.
● Important note: When filling the
appliance with fresh water shortly after a
brewing cycle is completed, there is a
danger of scalding from hot water or
steam escaping through the water outlet.
Making coffee
-
Filling with water:
Open the water container lid and fill the
container with the required quantity of
water.
-
Inserting the paper filter:
Open the swing-out filter and insert a size-4
paper filter, 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 water container lid
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 swingßout filter
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 coffee
maker on. The filtration cycle starts and the
water passes through the filter.
-
Removing the glass carafe:
Wait until all the water has passed through
the filter before the carafe is removed from
the appliance. To keep the coffee hot for as
long as possible, remove the aroma
protection lid and use the screw-in lid to
close the carafe.
-
Switching off the coffee maker:
Always switch off the appliance after use
and remove the plug from the wall socket.
Heat-retaining carafe
-
For technical reasons the screw-in lid
does not close hermetically. Therefore
always hold the carafe in an upright
position when filled with coffee.
-
Keeping the coffee hot: A heat-
conserving carafe accumulates heat
energy. Therefore the carafe should
preferably be filled to its maximum
capacity. If it is only partly filled, the
temperature will not be held as
efficiently. If you rinse out the carafe with
hot water before use, the coffee will be
kept warm for a longer time.
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.
