be checked thoroughly for any defects.
Should the appliance, for instance, have
been dropped onto a hard surface, or
if excessive force has been used to
pull the power cord, it must no longer
be used: even invisible damage may
have adverse ef-fects on the operational
safety of the appliance.
∙ Before use, make sure that the handle
of the glass jug is properly and securely
fitted. If necessary, the metal ring may
be tightened by means of the screw in
the handle.
∙ During operation, the coffee maker must
be placed on a level, non-slip surface,
impervious to splashes and stains.
∙ Do not leave the appliance unattended
while in use.
∙ Do not allow the appliance or its power
cord to touch hot surfaces or to come
into contact with any heat sources.
∙ Caution: The hot-plate becomes very
hot during operation.
∙ To prevent the danger of hot water or
steam being emitted, always switch off
the coffee maker and allow sufficient
time for the appliance to cool down
before it is opened or any accessories or
attachments are removed.
∙ Remove the plug from the wall socket
- in case of any malfunction,
- during cleaning,
- if the appliance is not being used for
an extended period of time.
∙ When removing the plug from the wall
socket, never pull on the power cord;
always grip the plug itself.
∙ Do not allow the power cord to hang
free; the cord must be kept well away
from hot parts of the appliance.
∙ No responsibility will be accepted if
damage results from improper use, or if
these instructions are not complied with.
Automatic switch-off
To save energy, the appliance will
switch itself off automatically around 35
minutes after the brewing cycle has been
completed.
Before using for the first time
Before making coffee for the first time,
let the appliance go through two or
three filtration cycles using the indicated
maximum amount of cold water, but without
using ground coffee. This should also be
done if the appliance has not been used
for an extended period of time, and after
descaling.
General information
∙ A measuring scale on the water
container and on the glass jug facilitates
filling the container with the correct
amount of clean water. With a dual-
scale, the left scale is used for regular-
sized cups of approx.125 ml, while the
right scale is used for smaller cups.
Make sure that the indicated maximum
amount of water is not exceeded.
∙ If several consecutive brewing cycles
are required, switch off the coffee maker
after each cycle and let the appliance
cool down for approx. 5 minutes.
∙ Important note: When filling the
appliance with fresh water shortly after
a brewing cycle is completed, there is
a danger of scalding from hot water
