3) USING YOUR APPLIANCE
a) Using the coffee maker
Open the reservoir lid and fill the reservoir with fresh, cold water up to the level

corresponding to the desired number of cups of coffee. Do not exceed the maximum
level of the reservoir.
Open the filter holder lid and fill with the required amount of ground coffee and

close the filter holder lid.
We suggest one level a spoonful of coffee per cup of coffee. Once you have

used the coffee
maker several times, you will be able to adjust the amount of coffee according to
your taste.
Close the reservoir lid.

Place the jug with its lid duly in place, onto the hot plate. The jug will open the

anti-drip valve when placed correctly onto the plate; otherwise the filtered coffee
will not pass into the jug and the filter may overflow.
Plug the appliance in and turn the coffee maker on by pressing the on/off switch.

The indicator light will come on. The water will begin to filter through the coffee
maker, pouring the coffee into the jug.
Once the coffee is ready, the hot plate will keep the coffee hot for 40 minutes

maximum. If there is no need to preserve heat, press ON/OFF button and the unit
will stop working.
After 40 minutes, the coffee maker will shut off automatically anyway, for energy saving.

Unplug the coffee maker.

The coffee maker is fitted with an anti-drip system; this prevents the coffee from
dripping onto the plate when the jug is not properly in place.
b) Tips for a good coffee
To give the coffee a better flavour and aroma, we advise you to use freshly ground
coffee. Medium-ground coffee should be used; it should not be too finely ground.
Store the coffee in a dry place. Once the packet of coffee has been opened, it can be kept
well-sealed in the refrigerator in order to maintain its aroma. This coffee maker will keep
the coffee hot by means of the hot plate, but for best results, drink the coffee as soon as it
has been made.
