Setting the Water Hardness Level
Set the water hardness level on the coffee maker to
the water hardness level for your local area.

seconds.
• The default setting (h3) will start flashing.
• Press the SET button (e) to scroll through the
options (h1 = soft, h2 = normal, h3 = hard) and
select the appropriate water hardness level.
• Press the CALC button again to save the hardness
level.
• The pre-set water hardness disappears after 3
seconds and the time of day will show on the LED
control panel.
1 – 4 Cups Setting
• Press the
button (g). The green LED above
the button will illuminate.
• Press START (a) to start brewing.
• The green LED turns off after the brewing cycle is
finished.
Brew Strength Selector
• Press the STRONG button (f) to select brew
strength «strong».
• The green LED above the button will illuminate.
• If the STRONG button is not pressed, regular
coffee strength is automatically selected.
(B) Making Coffee
• Open the reservoir cover (5).
• When filling the water reservoir (3) with fresh cold
water, refer to the water level indicator (inside the
water reservoir) and fill to the desired number of
cups.
• To prepare the exact amount of coffee for the
Braun Thermal Mug (available separately as
accessory), fill to the corresponding water mark
(330 ml) inside the reservoir.
• Insert a paper filter (cone type # 4) in the filter
basket (4).
• Alternatively you can use the gold tone permanent
filter which is available separately.
• Add the desired amount of ground coffee,
corresponding to the number of cups being
brewed. We recommend using 1 tablespoon or 1
coffee measuring scoop of ground coffee per
cup, but use more or less to suit your taste.
• Close the water reservoir and place the carafe in
its position on the carafe stand (6).
• Plug the cord into an electrical outlet and press
the On/Off button (1).
• Press the START button (a) to start brewing
immediately or press TIMER (b) to commence
brewing at the pre-set time.
• During brewing, the indicator light will flash
continuously. Once the brewing cycle is complete,
the light will turn off.
Note: The anti-drip system halts the flow of coffee
from the filter basket when the carafe is removed, so
a cup can be poured before brewing is finished.
The carafe should be returned to the carafe stand
(maximum 20 seconds) to prevent the filter basket
from overflowing.
For Best Results
• When using paper filters, be sure that it is
completely open and fully inserted in the basket.
It may help to fold and flatten the seams of the
paper filter beforehand.
• Store ground coffee in a cool, dry and dark place
in an airtight container.
• For the best performance from your Braun coffee
maker, descale the unit regularly.
Note: The maximum amount of ground coffee the
coffee maker can take is 10 coffee measuring
scoops or tablespoons.
Descaling
For the best performance from your Braun coffee
maker, descale the unit when the LED CALC (c)
lights up solid green. This indicates it is time to
descale your coffee maker.
Frequency will depend upon the hardness of your
tap water and how often you use the coffee maker.
To set water hardness see «Setting the Water
Hardness Level».
You can use a commercially available decalcifying
agent not affecting aluminum.
We recommend using the Braun Descaling Solution
(can be purchased in stores, through the Braun
website, or by calling Customer Service).
Note: For your convenience, the cleaning cycle is
automatic. The entire cleaning cycle including
rinsing can take up to 45 minutes to complete.
• Follow the package instructions of the
decalcifying agent.
• Place the empty carafe in its position on the
carafe stand (6).
• Press the CALC button (c). The green LED above
the button will start flashing.
• Press START (a) to start the descaling program,
while the green LED is still flashing. Once the
descaling process has started, it is not possible to
stop the program until finished.
• When the descaling program has been
completed, the green LED will turn off.
• Discard the cleaning solution and rinse the carafe
thoroughly with clean water.
• Fill the water reservoir with clean, fresh water (not
exceeding 8 cups). Run the coffee maker through
2 complete brew cycles to flush the unit after
descaling.
