Before using for the first time
Before making coffee for the first time, let
the appliance go through two or three
filtration cycles using the indicated
maximum amount of cold water, but without
using ground coffee. This should also be
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 and on the glass carafe
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.
●
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, fill the
container with the desired quantity of water
and replace the lid.
- 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
medium or finely ground coffee will be
required. Close the swing-out filter
afterwards.
- Preparing the glass carafe:
Fit the aroma protection lid onto the carafe,
and then place the carafe into the appliance.
1 / - 2 teaspoons) of
2
If correctly inserted, the lid will disable the
drip-stop mechanism in the filter holder
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.
- Switching off the coffee maker:
The coffee may be kept warm inside the
carafe by leaving it standing on the hot-plate.
The plate is kept warm until the appliance is
switched off. Always switch off the appliance
after use and remove the plug from the wall
socket.
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.
We therefore strongly recommend
descaling the appliance after each thirty
to forty brewing cycles. For descaling, a
vinegar solution may be used as follows:
- Mix 2-3 tablespoons of vinegar with the
indicated maximum amount of cold
water.
- Pour the descaling solution into the water
container, insert a paper filter into the
filter holder without adding any ground
coffee as described in section Making
coffee, and let the appliance run through
