Automatic switch-off
To save energy, the appliance will
switch itself off automatically around 35
minutes after the brewing cycle has been
completed.
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. The
scale refers to regular-sized cups of
approx.125 ml.
∙ Do not exceed the indicated max.
number of cups.
∙ 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.
