Coffee preparation

Open the water tank (4) by swinging open the water tank lid (1). Pour cold water only into the water
tank (4). The water-level indicator (5) applies to the amount of fresh water needed to brew the desired
number of cups of coffee @ 125ml. Close the water tank lid (1). Open the filter (3) by flipping the
filter lid (2) upwards. Take a size 2 paper filter, fold over the stamped edge and place it into the filter
(3). The paper filter should not protrude over the edge of the filter. If necessary, push it down slightly
with your hand.
Add the required amount of ground coffee. Depending on your personal taste, use approx. 5-7g of
medium-fine ground coffee per cup. If the coffee is ground too finely, the filter (3) may overflow.
Close the filter lid (2).
Place the aroma glass jug (6) inside the appliance.
Plug the mains plug into the socket and push the on/off button (7). This illuminates white and brewing
begins.
You can cancel the brewing at any time by pressing the on/off button (7) again.
Wait a few minutes until all of the coffee has run into the jug (6). When you remove the jug (6), a
drip-stop valve prevents the coffee dripping.
Keep-warm function
Your device is fitted with a keep-warm function to maintain brewed coffee at serving temperature.
The keep-warm function switches on automatically once brewing has been completed. The on/off
button (7) remains illuminated white. Coffee is kept warm for 40 minutes, after which the device
automatically switches off and the light on the on/off button (7) is extinguished.
You can deactivate the keep-warm function at any time by pressing the on/off button (7).

Cleaning and care

Cleaning
Unplug the mains plug and allow the appliance to cool down.
Do not immerse the appliance in water. Outer surfaces can be cleaned using a damp cloth and a little
washing-up liquid.
Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents.
The filter (3) and aroma glass jug (6) can be cleaned under running water.
Limescale
Limescale deposits extend brewing times and lower the quality of your coffee. They also lead to energy
losses and impair the service life of the appliance.
If too much limescale has accumulated, the appliance switches off prematurely. The limescale is then
very difficult to remove. You should therefore descale regularly or at the latest when brewing times
are significantly longer or the noise level increases.
The following data are guidelines based on daily use in the home.
Hardness range Hardness Descaling intervals
1 Soft 0-7° dH Every 6 months
2 Medium >7-14° dH Every 3 months
3 Hard >14–21° dH Every 6 weeks
4 Very hard >21° dH Monthly
1° dH corresponds to about 0.18 mmol/l Ca and Mg ions
You can ask your local water company or government about the water hardness range in your neigh-
bourhood.
