Do not allow persons (also children) with restricted physical sensory perception or mental abilities or with lack of experience and knowledge to operate the appliance unless they are supervised or have been instructed in the use of the appliance by somebody who is responsible for their safety.

To clean the appliance, run 9 cups of water twice through the appliance.

Occasionally, new appliances emit a completely harmless odour. In this case run a diluted vinegar solution through the appliance (2 cups of vinegar to 6 cups of water), then run 9 cups of water twice through the appliance.

1. Fill the tank with water only (Fig. 2). Never add milk or ready drinks such as tea or coffee.

2. Place a paper filter (1×4) in the filter holder (Fig. 3).

3. Add medium ground coffee (approx. 7g per large cup) or tea leaves (Fig. 4).

4. Place the jug onto the warming plate (Fig. 5).

5. Switch the appliance on (Fig. 6). For models with cup selection, choose the appropriate setting (3-6 or 7-10 cups).

6. Wait for the brewing process to complete.

7. Switch off the appliance after use (unless it has an automatic switch-off feature).

Allow the coffee maker to cool down for 5 min. before refilling with water for the next brew.

The same process can be used to brew tea.

Use medium ground coffee. We recommend approx. 7 g per large cup. Add slightly more coffee per cup for a few cups than for a larger number of cups.

Brew at least three large cups, otherwise the coffee will not have the required temperature and strength.

The large cup marking (represented by a larger cup icon) corresponds to approx. 125 ml. The small cup marking (represented by a smaller cup icon) corresponds to approx. 85 ml.

The cup heater remains hot for a short period after the appliance has been switched off.

For models equipped with a cup selection switch (Fig. 6b, 6c), the strength and therefore the aroma can be selected by switching to the 3-6 setting (for 3-6 cups) or the 7-10 setting (for 7-10 cups).

All parts which come into contact with coffee should be cleaned after use, as residue will affect the taste.

All detachable parts are dishwasher-proof. However, do NOT place them over the dishwasher heater or jam them in the dishwasher (deformation may occur).

Wipe the housing exterior with a damp cloth only.

Do NOT use any scouring agents.

Do NOT use a steam cleaner.

NEVER immerse the appliance in water!

Thoroughly rinse all detachable parts after cleaning or descaling.

Descale the appliance regularly, especially if:

– the brewing cycle takes longer than usual,

– excessive steam is produced,

– the appliance is noisier than usual.

If the water hardness is normal and the appliance is used daily, descale every 6 weeks.

If the descaling agents which you use are based on vinegar or citric acid, descale every 3 weeks.

1. Measure descaling agent according to manufacturer’s specifications and pour into the tank.

2. Leave the solution to stand for 5 min., then switch on.

3. Switch off after 1 min. and leave to stand for 10 min.

4. Repeat step 3 at least 3 times (or more frequently depending on calcification).

5. Allow the residual solution to run through the appliance completely.

6. Flush the appliance twice with 9 cups of clean water.

7. If your model features cup selection, set the switch to 3–6 cups during the descaling process (steps 2-5).

8. Thoroughly rinse all detachable parts after descaling.
