■ Never remove the carafe while the
machine is brewing coffee since this may
cause the filter holder to overflow.
■ Make sure that carafe's lid is closed
when you place the carafe on the coffee
machine.
■ Do not use other carafes since the
special drip protector will block the coffee
from flowing into the receptacle.
■ Some water accumulation on the filter
holder is normal; it does not indicate that
the coffee machine is defective.
Before using for the
first time
■ Remove any stickers or film.
■ Pull enough of the power cable out of the
storage compartment and plug in.
■ To clean, fill water tank with 6 cups of
water and replace it. Press the ON/OFF
switch O; cleaning program starts.
■ Repeat the cleaning process.
Note: You may notice a "new machine"
smell; this is normal. If this is the case, fill
with a vinegar solution (1 cup of vinegar
for 5 cups of water) and run the cleaning
program. Next, rinse the machine twice with
6 cups of water.
■ Clean the carafe thoroughly.

TKA80. only
Info: The appliance has an automatic
auto off (power save) function, which
switches off the appliance around
40 minutes after the brewing process is
complete.
TKA8A05. only
Info: The appliance has an automatic
auto off (power save) function, which
switches off the appliance a few minutes
after the brewing process is complete.
Tip: If you rinse out the thermos carafe with
hot water before use, the coffee will stay
warm even longer.
Important: When the brewing process
is complete, wait a moment until all the
coffee has run through the filter and into the
carafe.
Let the machine cool down for five
minutes before brewing a fresh pot.
Low water indicator K
This coffee machine senses if the water
volume in the water tank is low (less than
approx. 4 cups). If the water level is low,
K lights up and the machine automatically
increases the brewing time. This ensures
that the coffee retains its ideal flavour.
Thermos carafe
TKA8A05. only
Important: Never use the carafe for
keeping dairy products or baby food warm,
because bacteria may form. Do not heat
the carafe in the microwave or in a regular
oven. Never use the carafe to store or
transport carbonated beverages. Carefully
rinse the carafe after each use.
To keep the lid from permanently vacu-
um-sealing itself shut, it was designed to
not close hermetically. Since the thermos
carafe may leak, you should always store
and transport it in an upright position. The
thermos carafe holds approximately 8 cups.
