Note on the Brewing Process
Depending on the grind and quantity, the coffee powder
absorbs water during the brewing process. The amount of
finished coffee therefore differs from the amount of water
added.
Electrical Connection
1. Ensure that your mains power corresponds with the
specifications of the appliance. The specifications are
printed on the type label.
2. Insert the mains plug into a properly installed earthed
socket. The appliance is in standby mode. Readiness for
operation is displayed by the time on the display.
European Regulations on Energy Saving
The European Directive 2009 / 125 / EC (Ecodesign Direc-
tive) incorporates measurements for energy saving.
The following applies to coffee makers: The keep-warm
period is limited to max. 5 minutes after which the appliance
turns off automatically.
You benefit from better safety and lower energy consumption.
Initial Operation
Before brewing coffee for the first time, start the appliance
twice with clean water only, without paper filter and without
coffee powder. This will remove any dust that may have
accumulated in the appliance during transport. Proceed as
described under "Switching on the Coffee Machine Directly".

Operation
Set the Time
The appliance works in the 24-hour mode. The time "12:00"
is preset.

Preparing the Coffee Machine
1. Fold open the water tank lid.
2. Fill the water tank with cold water according to the
desired number of cups. The water level can be read off
the scale.
- The jug can be used to fill the water tank.
- Do not overfill the water tank! Do not fill beyond the
MAX mark.
3. Insert the filter holder. Press the filter holder down until it
clicks into place.
4. Bend the bottom fold of the paper filter (size 1 × 4) and
place in the filter holder. Fill the filter with coffee powder.
- Do not put too much coffee powder in the filter, other-
wise there is a risk of the filter overflowing.
5. Now close the lid of the water tank. It must snap into
place.
6. Place the jug onto the warming plate.
CAUTION: Anti-drip protection
Your appliance is equipped with anti-drip protection. It
closes when the jug is removed. This prevents coffee
from dripping onto the shelf when there is still water
in the filter.
• Make sure that the lid is on the jug. It opens the
anti-drip protection.
• If there is still water in the water tank, put the jug
back on the storage surface in good time. The filter
could otherwise overflow.
Selection of Aroma Strength
Filter coffee develops more aroma if it swells before brew-
ing. The longer the swelling time, the stronger the aroma.
The appliance offers a choice of three different aroma
strengths: mild, medium and strong. Swelling time is
increased or decreased in accordance with the brewing
procedure.
• Press the MODE button once. The display shows "
above the time.
