SEVERIN KA-4114 Mode D'emploi page 12

let the appliance go through two or three
fi ltration 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
facilitates fi lling the container with the
correct amount of clean water. With
a dual-scale, the left scale is used for
regular-sized cups of approx.125ml, while
the right scale is used for smaller cups.
Make sure that the indicated maximum
amount of water is not exceeded.
∙ Caution: the hot water outlet is integrated
in the water container lid. Do not attempt to
open the lid while brewing is in progress:
there is a danger of scalding.
∙ If several consecutive brewing cycles are
required, allow the appliance to cool down
for 5 minutes or so after each cycle.
∙ Important note: When fi lling 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.
Making coffee
∙ Filling with water:
Open the water container lid and fi ll the
container with the required quantity of water.
∙ Inserting the paper fi lter:
Open the swing-out fi lter and insert a size-4
paper fi lter, fi rst folding down the perforated
sides of the fi lter.
∙ Filling with ground coffee:
For each regular-sized cup (125ml), a
measure of about 6 g (= 1½ - 2 teaspoons)
of medium or fi nely ground coffee will be
12
required. Close the water container lid
afterwards.
∙ Preparing the glass carafe:
Fit the aroma protection lid or the drip-
through lid onto the carafe, and then place
the carafe into the appliance. If correctly
inserted, the lid will disable the drip-stop
mechanism in the swing-out fi lter during the
brewing cycle.
∙ Starting the brewing cycle:
Put the plug into a suitable wall outlet and
use the On/Off button to turn the coffee
maker on. The fi ltration cycle starts and the
water passes through the fi lter.
∙ Removing the glass carafe:
Wait until all the water has passed through
the fi lter before the carafe is removed from
the appliance. To keep the coffee hot for
as long as possible, remove the aroma
protection lid and use the screw-in lid
to close the carafe. However, this is not
necessary if your coffee maker has a drip-
through lid, which can remain on the carafe.
Once the brewing cycle is complete, the
appliance switches off automatically.
∙ Switching off the coffee maker:
Always remove the plug from the wall outlet
once brewing is complete.
∙ Interrupting the brewing cycle:
The brewing cycle can be interrupted by
pressing the On/Off button again.
Coffee maker with drip-through lid
During the fi ltering process and while
pouring the coffee out, the drip-through lid
does not need to be removed and should
remain on the jug. To pour the coffee, turn
the lid counter-clockwise about half a turn so
that the arrow on the lid is aligned with the
pouring spout.
