Caution
• Please read the use instructions carefully and
completely before using the appliance.
• This appliance must be kept out of reach of
children.
• Before plugging into a socket, check that your
voltage corresponds with the voltage printed on
the bottom of the appliance.
• Never place the thermal carafe on a hotplate or
other heated surfaces, as this would damage the
carafe base.
• Caution: During and after operation, the metal
surfaces will get hot. Avoid touching hot surfaces,
especially the carafe base, to prevent burns or
scalds. Always use the handle to carry the carafe
and keep it upright.
• Do not use the thermal carafe in a microwave.
• Never submerge the thermal carafe in water, nor
clean it in a dishwasher.
• Before you start preparing a new carafe of coffee,
always allow the coffeemaker to cool down for
approximately five minutes (switch off the appli-
ance), otherwise steam can develop when filling
the water tank with cold water.
• Braun electric appliances meet applicable safety
standards. Repairs on electric appliances
(including cord replacement) must only be carried
out by authorized Braun service centers. Faulty,
unqualified repair work may cause accidents or
injury to the user.

Water filter
This product includes an exclusive Brita
especially designed for Braun coffeemakers. The
water filter improves coffee flavor by significantly
reducing chlorine and also prevents calcification
(scale) buildup. Provided that the cartridge is re-
placed regularly (every two months), it not only brews
better tasting coffee, but can also extend the life of
your coffeemaker by preventing calcification buildup.
Braun water filter cartridges are available at your local
retailer or Braun service centres.
Installing the water filter cartridge
1. Unpack the water filter cartridge (E) and follow the
instructions given on the pack.
2. Remove the space compensator (B) from the
water tank.
3. Insert the water filter cartridge (E). (Be certain to
keep the space compensator as it must be
installed in the water tank whenever the water filter
cartridge is removed.)
4. The water filter should be exchanged every two
months. To remind you, set the dial (F) to the
month that the water filter should be replaced.
Note:
Before using the coffeemaker for the first time, after a
long period of not using it, or after installing a new
water filter cartridge, run the coffeemaker through
one brewing cycle using a maximum of 8 cups of
cold, fresh water without any ground coffee.
Thermal carafe
The thermal carafe (K) is made of high-quality, double
walled, vacuum stainless steel. In order to create the
best heat-retention environment, it is essential to pre-
warm the thermal carafe by rinsing with hot water.
• To remove the lid, turn the grip anti-clockwise (a)
and take it off.
• To close it again, place it on the carafe with the
grip located at the right of the carafe handle (b)
and turn it clockwise until it locks into place.
• During brewing, the coffee runs through a special
opening of the closed lid.
• If you want to serve coffee after brewing is
finished, press the raised end of the silver lid grip
(c) and keep it pressed as long as you are pouring
out.
