How to make drip coffee
Please note: the first time the appliance is used, all ac-
cessories and the internal circuits must be washed through by
making at least two jugs of coffee without using pre-ground
coffee.
• Open the lid (B) (fig. 1) and use the jug (A) to pour clean
cold water into the water tank compartment (E) up to the
level indicated for the number of cups of coffee you want to
make (fig. 2). Check the level of water in the tank through
the level window (F) (fig. 3). You are recommended to use
the jug provided as a measure as the maximum capacity of
the jug and the tank are the same.
• Position the permanent nylon filter (I) within the filter
holder (C) (fig. 4).
• Place the pre-ground coffee in the filter using the measure
(G) provided and level evenly (fig. 5). Use good quality,
medium pre-ground coffee for drip coffee makers. The
type of blend has a considerable influence on the coffee
you make. You should therefore try various types of coffee
to find the one best suited to your taste.

For a stronger taste we suggest to add 1 measure more each cup.
The quantities given in the table are indicative and should be
adapted to your personal taste and the type of coffee. Never
exceed the maximum quantity of 5 measures. The type of blend
has a considerable influence on the coffee you make. You should
therefore try various types of coffee to find the one best suited
to your taste.
• Close the lid (B) and place the closed jug on the plate (fig.
7).
• Press the button (L) (fig. 8). The light on the switch in-
dicates that the coffee maker is operating. Coffee delivery
will start after a few seconds. It is completely normal for
the appliance to give off steam while the coffee is percolat-
ing. The coffee maker emits a beep when delivery begins,
then three beeps when it ends. The taste of the coffee can
be optimised by pressing the AROMA button (N). This func-
tionenables a process of percolation which releases the
water in the filter more slowly. Filtering a little at a time
improves the flavour and aroma of the coffee. To enable
the function, press the aroma button (the light on the but-
ton comes on). To disable the function, press the button
again. You are recommended to use the AROMA button
when you do not want to make a full jug of coffee.
• If you leave the button (L) pressed after percolation
has finished, the plate will keep the coffee at the ideal
temperature. The appliance goes off automatically 40 min-
utes after coffee delivery ends. To turn the warming plate
(M) off press the button (L) again. For a new brewing
cycle switch off the appliance pressing
restart.
Please note: removing the jug before all the coffee re-
quested has been delivered does not interrupt coffee making,
but merely blocks flow into the jug. If you want to pour out a
little coffee immediately, you should do so as rapidly as possible
in order to avoid the coffee overflowing.

Cleaning and maintenance

Before maintenance or cleaning of the appliance, turn off, un-
plug from the mains socket and allow to cool.
• Do not use solvents or abrasive detergents to clean the
coffee maker. Just wipe with a soft damp cloth.
• Never immerse the coffee maker in water. It is an electrical
appliance.
• The water tank filter (H) can be reached through the lid (B)
(fig. 6). Clean when necessary.
