„ The ground coffee could otherwise block the water circuit.
„ Add 1 spoonful (P) of ground coffee per cup. Do not exceed 10 spoonfuls (70 g). Fig. 9.
„ Close the lid (B).
„ If the coffee maker is in standby, press any button to switch it on.
„ Press the ON/OFF (J) button to start the cycle. The coffee maker beeps and the carafe
symbol is displayed on the screen. Fig. 10.
„ When the cycle is complete, the warm-up feature automatically turns on for 30 minutes.
The carafe symbol remains on the display for the duration of the warm-up period.
„ To stop the coffee maker during the cycle, press the ON/OFF button (J).
Please note:
„ The quantity of coffee in the carafe at the end of the cycle is less than the quantity of water
poured into the reservoir, since the ground coffee and the filter absorb approximately
10% of it.
„ The reservoir is equipped with an overflow opening at the back of the appliance. If you
add too much water, it will come out of this opening.
OTHER FUNCTIONS
– DELAYED START (PROG)

CLEANING
„ Clean the coffee maker using a damp soft cloth or sponge. Never use abrasive
or strong products on any part of your coffee maker.
„ To clean the stainless steel parts of your coffee maker, moisten a soft cloth or
sponge with hot water. Wipe them well using a dry cloth.
„ For stubborn stains, use a cloth with some white vinegar.
„ Do not immerse the appliance in water or under the tap.
DESCALING
Why is descaling important?
„ Limescale builds up naturally in your coffee maker. Descaling helps to protect the
coffee maker, ensure a longer service life and consistently high-quality coffee over time.
Limescale may permanently alter the appliance's performance.
When is it time to descale?
„ The frequency of descaling depends on water hardness and the number of coffee cycles.
When users observe signs such as extended cycle lengths, intense boil-off, loud noise
levels at the end of the cycle or stoppage during a cycle, this means your machine
requires descaling.
„ Descaling the coffee maker must be performed approximately once a month, depending
on the water hardness.
How to descale your coffee maker
„ Use a descaling solution or 0.5 L of white vinegar diluted in 0.5 L of cold or warm water.
Fig. 16.
„ Pour the solution into the water tank. Fig. 17.
„ Do not put any coffee in the filter and press the ON/OFF button (J) to start the descaling
cycle. Fig. 18.
„ Please wait until the end of the cycle.
„ To rinse the machine, start 2 complete 10-cup cycles with water, but without coffee.
„ Repeat the operation as needed.
„ The guarantee does not cover coffee makers that are inoperative or which run badly
due to a lack of descaling.
