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 ON/OFF 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.
