Start-up
Prior to initial use or when the coffee maker has not been ope-
rated over a long period, fill the appliance with the maximum
amount of water but without coffee powder, let the water boil
and finally rinse the filter insert and pot with hot water.
When inserting the filter insert make sure the recess faces to-
wards the water tank. Press the filter insert slightly downwards
and swivel the handle towards the front to lock the filter into
place.
Brewing coffee
Fill cold water into the water tank. The water level indicator
shows the quantity of fresh water required to brew the desired
number of cups à 125 ml coffee. The scale on the glass coffee
pot also indicates the quantity of fresh water and does not
apply to the quantity of brewed coffee.
Before adding the coffee powder, make sure that the filter
insert is correctly fitted and that the handle is locked.
Fold a paper filter size 4 (1 x 4) along the fold lines and insert
it into the filter insert. The paper filter is not allowed to stick
out beyond the rim of the filter insert and must therefore be
pressed slightly into place by hand.
Fill in the required quantity of coffee powder. Depending on
your personal taste, use approximately 5 to 7 grams of medium
ground coffee per cup. If the coffee powder is ground too
finely, the filter may overflow.
Close and press down the cover until it locks into place.
Then connect the power plug to a shockproof socket and
activate the switch. The indicator light will come on when the
brewing process starts.
After the brewing process is completed, the glass pot can be
removed. The drip-stop prevents coffee residues from dripping
from the filter.
The hot plate automatically keeps the brewed coffee at serving
temperature until the coffee maker is switched off.
Keep in mind that the coffee will lose its aroma if it is kept
warm too long.
Used paper filters with their coffee powder contents are bio-
degradable. To remove, open the cover, hold the filter insert by
the handle and pull up and out.

If the filter insert is not locked, coffee may overflow!
Cleaning
Disconnect the appliance from the mains and allow it to cool
down. Never immerse the appliance in water; simply wipe it
over using a damp cloth with a drop of washing-up liquid and
then rub dry.
Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents.
Clean the filter insert and glass pot under running water or in
the dishwasher.
Decalcifying
Calcium deposits result in energy losses and impair the service
life of the appliance. The appliance will switch off prematurely
if the calcium deposits are too severe. It is then very difficult to
remove the deposits. We therefore recommend you to decalcify
the appliance regularly, but at the latest when the brewing time
increases signicantly or there is more noise during the brewing
process.
The following values are offered for guidance and are based
on daily use in a household.
Hardness range Hardness Decalcification
1 soft 0 - 7° dH every 6 month
2 medium >7- 14° dH every 3 month
3 hard >14 - 21° dH every 6 weeks
4 very hard >21° dH every 4 weeks
1° dH corresponds to approximately 0.18 mmol/l Ca
and Mg ions
You can obtain details of the water hardness range in your
residential area from your water works or community ofḀces.
Use a standard descaling agent sold for coffee makers. Please
consider the user instructions of the manufacturer. Then let a
tank full of tap water run through to rinse the appliance. Never
use vinegar or vinegar essence, as the materials in the appliance
could be damaged. When using decalcifyers based on citric acid
precipitates may form during decalcification and seal the cal-
cium deposits or block the pipelines in the appliance. Further-
