4. BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
FOR THE FIRST TIME
• Before using your coffee maker for the
first time, familiarise yourself with all the
parts. Read all instructions carefully.
• Open the container lid (2) upwards
(fig 2), take out the filter and the
filter holder (fig. 3) and clean them
together with the jug and the jug lid in
warm soapy water, rinse well, dry and
reassemble.
• To clean the inside, operate the coffee
maker once or twice without putting
ground coffee in the filter. For this
process, follow the instructions under
the heading "Preparing the coffee".

5. PREPARING THE COFFEE

• Place the coffee maker on a flat, stable
surface.
• Open the container lid (2) upwards (fig 2)
and fill it with clean, cold water up to the
desired level. Do not exceed the container's
maximum level.
• Fill the permanent filter (9) with the amount
of ground coffee you need and close the
lid. We suggest one level dessertspoonful
of ground coffee for each cup of coffee.
After using the coffee maker several times,
you may adjust the amount of coffee to
taste.
• Place the jug onto the hotplate (5) with its
lid properly on. The jug will open the anti-
drip valve; if not, the filtered coffee will not
flow through to the jug and will overflow out
of the filter.
•
Take the cord out of the cord compartment
(11) and plug the appliance in at the mains.
• Connect the coffee maker by pressing the
switch (8). The red pilot light will come on.
• The switch light will indicate that the
appliance is in operation. The water will
start to filter through the coffee maker,
flowing into the jug.
•
When the coffee is ready, the Model CF-
1000 hotplate (5) will keep the coffee hot.
With model CTI-915, the thermal jug (12)
will keep the coffee hot even when you
switch off the coffee maker.
• Disconnect the coffee maker by pressing
the on/off switch (8).
•
Unplug the appliance from the mains.
• The coffee maker is provided with an anti-
drip system to prevent the coffee from
dripping onto the plate when the jug is not
correctly in place or when it is taken away
from the appliance.
