2. Before first use:

• Ensure that the power supply in your home
corresponds to that on the model plate on the
base of the appliance.
• Connect the appliance to a power source. Unused
cable can be stored in the base of the appliance. 
• Set the current time using the buttons "h" and "m"
. This goes faster if you hold down the button.

time has been set. You can turn the display light
GB
on or off by simultaneously pressing the h and m
buttons  for longer than two seconds
• All appliances have been tested during production
to ensure they work perfectly. Therefore there may
be for example water deposits remaining. Rinse the
appliance twice with the maximum amount of water
and without a filter bag or ground coffee, in order to
clean it.
• For the best coffee enjoyment and convenient use,
the appliance is equipped with various features.
These features are explained below.

3. Set water hardness

Depending on water hardness lime scale may build up
in the appliance. This increases the appliance's energy
consumption as lime scale on the heating element can
prevent the water heating effectively. To avoid damage
the appliance must be descaled regularly. The descaling
display helps you in this. If the CALC-button  is
permanently lit this shows that the appliance needs to
be descaled.
The appliance is pre-set for a high level of water
hardness (level 4). You can find out the level of water
hardness in your area by asking your local water
provider or by using water hardness measuring strips
available in the shops. For softer water the descaling
display can be adjusted to descale less often.
• Hold down the CALC-button  and by briefly
pressing the m-button  set the desired level of
water hardness. The hardness setting will then
show in the display
• Once you have set the desired level of water
hardness, let go of the CALC-button.
Your settings are now saved.
• The settings and display are shown in the table.

4. Setting the hotplate

Keeping coffee warm on the hotplate affects the taste
of your coffee. To avoid this you should enjoy your
coffee fresh, by drinking it as soon after brewing as
possible. Unnecessary warming also uses valuable
energy. The factory settings for the appliance are for
40 minutes of warming. After this the hotplate turns
off automatically. This time can be changed as needed:
• Hold down the START-button  and by briefly
pressing the m-button  set the desired time
(20, 40 or 60 minutes). The current warming
time will be shown in the display .
• Once you have set the desired warming time
let go of the button. Your setting is now saved.
• The last setting chosen remains even after removing
the power cable.

5. Making coffee

• Ensure that the appliance is connected to
the power source.
• Open the lid on the water tank. 
• Fill the water tank with the desired amount of water
using the glass pot. With the help of the water level
display on the tank  you can choose the correct
number of cups.
Small cup symbol = approx. 85ml coffee per cup,
large cup symbol = approx. 125 ml coffee per cup.
• Close the lid on the water tank and place the glass
pot with closed lid in the appliance.
• Open the swivel filter  to the left.
• Fold a Melitta
®
and place it in the filter holder.  Press the filter bag
into the filter holder by hand, to ensure a good fit.
• Put the ground coffee into the filter. The amount
depends on your personal taste. We recommend
using 6g of ground coffee per large cup.

• Turn the appliance on . Brewing begins.
• After making your coffee the hotplate will keep it
warm and will turn off automatically after the time
you have set (see point 4). This avoids unnecessary
use of electricity and saves energy. You can of course
turn the machine off manually at any time.
• The drip stop prevents your coffee from dripping
when you remove the pot from the appliance. 
