Brewing with coffee soft pads
All conventional coffee soft pads with an outer diame-
ter of 7 cm can be used (coffee quantity of approxi-
mately 7 g).
The more careful you insert the pads, the better
the coffee will be. It is important to distribute the cof-
fee powder evenly in the pad up to the edge, so that
water cannot flow past the pad.
13 14 Tap the pad lightly with your finger tips so
that a small indentation develops in its center.
Never insert damaged pads, loose coffee powder
or instant coffee into the pad cassette; it could plug
up. The rocker lever (5) then can no longer be pus-
hed to the right to remove the pad cassette (7). If this
should occur, despite observing the information, please
proceed as described at the end of this user
manual in section "Help in case of malfunctions."

The coffee powder is initially only moistened in appli-
ances with a "pre-brewing function" (option).
Brewing is only continued after a short pause, in
which the coffee powder can expand. An especially
strong aroma can be achieved by this method.
Push the rocking lever (5) toward the right into the
starting position before removing the coffee. Post-drip-
ping on the coffee outlet (8) will thereby be reduced.
You should remove any used pads from the brewing
chamber soon (6) due to hygienic reasons. They are
bio-degradable.
Hints for the best coffee:
Prior to consumption, stir the coffee; you will achieve
an even coffee strength in the cup.
Carefully close the pad package to prevent aroma
losses. The best storage area is the refrigerator.
Fill fresh water in daily. The water tank should be rinsed
briefly beforehand.
If the appliance has not been used for several days,
proceed as described in section "Rinsing".
