SEVERIN KA-4150 Instrucciones De Uso página 12

Open the swing-out fi lter sideways and insert
a size-4 paper fi lter into the fi lter holder, fi rst
folding down the perforated sides of the fi lter.
∙ Filling with ground coffee:
For each regular-sized cup (125ml), a
measure of about 6 g (= 1½ - 2 teaspoons)
of medium or fi nely ground coffee will
be required. Close the swing-out fi lter
afterwards.
∙ Preparing the glass carafe:
Fit the aroma protection lid onto the carafe,
and then place the carafe into the appliance.
If correctly inserted, the lid will disable the
drip-stop mechanism in the fi lter holder
during the brewing cycle.
∙ Starting the brewing cycle:
Press the On/Off button twice to switch on
the coffee maker. The green indicator light I
comes on.
If the brewing cycle is to be started with
a delayed timer setting, press the PROG
button to verify that the timer has been set
to the desired time. Now press the On/Off
button once. The LCD display shows AUTO,
and the red indicator light AUTO comes on.
The coffee maker automatically switches on
at the pre-programmed time.
∙ Removing the glass carafe:
Wait until all the water has passed through
the fi lter 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 stays warm for about 130 minutes,
but can also be switched off earlier by
pressing the On/Off button once. The green
indicator lamp I then goes out.
Descaling
∙ Depending on the water quality (lime
12
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.
∙ Any warranty claim will be null and
void if the appliance malfunctions
because of insuffi cient descaling.
∙ 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 diffi cult 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 80 ml of vinegar essence with the
indicated maximum amount of cold water.
∙ Pour the descaling solution into the water
container, insert a paper fi lter into the
fi lter holder without adding any ground
coffee as described in section Making
coffee, and let the appliance run through
one fi ltration cycle. Repeat the procedure
if necessary. During descaling, ensure
suffi cient ventilation and do not inhale any
vinegar vapours.
∙ To clean the appliance after descaling, let
it run through 2-3 fi ltration cycles using
clean water only.
∙ Do not pour descalers down enamel
sinks.
Cleaning and care
∙ Before cleaning the appliance, ensure it is
disconnected from the power supply and
