important safeguards
Follow basic safety precautions, including:
1 This appliance must only be used by or under the supervision of a responsible adult.
2 Don't put the appliance in liquid, don't use it in a bathroom, near water, or
outdoors.
3 Don't touch hot surfaces (e.g. carafe, hotplate).
4 The scald hazard lasts long after boiling. Keep the appliance and cable away from
the edges of worktops and out of reach of children.
5 Sit the appliance on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface.
6 Route the cable so it doesn't overhang, and can't be tripped over or caught.
7 This appliance must not be operated by an external timer or remote control system.
8 Unplug the appliance when not in use, before moving and before cleaning.
9 Fill with at least 2 cups of water, but not above the max mark.
10 Put the carafe on the hotplate before switching the coffee maker on.
11 If you want to stop the coffee maker while it's brewing, press the 2 button.
12 Let the appliance cool for about 10 minutes before adding water or re–using, to
avoid spitting.
13 Don't put the carafe in a microwave oven.
14 Don't try to adjust the metal band round the carafe, you'll break the glass.
15 Keep the appliance and the cable away from hotplates, hobs or burners.
16 Don't use accessories or attachments other than those we supply.
17 Don't use the appliance for any purpose other than those described in these
instructions.
18 Don't use the appliance if it's damaged or malfunctions.
19 If the cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent,
or someone similarly qualified, in order to avoid hazard.
before using for the first time
1 Fill the reservoir to the max mark, and run the appliance without coffee.
2 Let it cool, discard the water, then use it normally.
ground coffee
3 If you want to buy ready-ground coffee, medium-ground filter coffee will give you
the best results. The amount will vary with the type of coffee and your individual
taste. We suggest starting with two rounded teaspoons of medium-ground coffee
per cup.
storing coffee
4 Coffee is best kept in an airtight container in a cool dry place, or in the fridge.
Exposure to air oxidises coffee and allows the flavour to evaporate.
bottled water
5 If you use bottled water, check that there are no added ingredients, flavourings, etc.,
and use "flat" water, not "sparkling". The carbon dioxide which gives the "sparkle"
will adversely affect the flavour of your coffee.
