General information

● Fill water tank 1 with clean, cold water
only. Never add milk or beverages such
as tea or coffee since this will damage
the appliance.
● Never exceed the "10" marking when you
fill the tank 1 with water.
● Use coffee with a medium grind (approx.
7 g per cup).
● Do not brew less than the minimum
amount of three cups since the coffee
will not have the desired strength and
temperature (1 cup = approx. 125 ml).
● Never remove the glass carafe 6 while
the machine is brewing coffee since this
may cause the filter holder 4 to overflow.
● Make sure that glass carafe's lid is closed
when you place the carafe 6 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 4 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 9 and plug in.
● Remove coffee pot handle from storage
compartment and rotate forwards.
● To clean, open the lid 2 and fill the water
tank 1 with nine cups of water. Close the
lid 2, insert the glass carafe 6 and press
the ON/OFF switch 7 to switch on and
start the cleaning process.
● 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 (2 cups of vinegar
for 6 cups of water) and run the cleaning
program. Next, rinse the machine twice with
nine cups of water.
● Clean the carafe thoroughly.

Brewing coffee

● Fill the water tank 1 with water, taking
note of the marking.
● Swivel out the filter holder 4.
● Insert a 1x4 paper filter in the filter holder
4 and add the desired amount of coffee.
● Swivel back the filter holder 4 and let it
click into place.
● Place the glass carafe 6 with the lid
closed underneath the filter holder 4.
● Press the ON/OFF switch 7 to start the
brewing cycle.
Note: The appliance has an automatic
auto off (power save) function, which
switches it off after a period of about
40 minutes.
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.
