Thank you for choosing this coffee machine. To get the very
best out of your new coffee machine it is advisable to read
these instructions before using the appliance. This is the only
way to ensure optimum results and maximum safety.
Using for the first time
Carefully unpack the coffee maker and remove all the packaging
material. Before using wash the accessories and surfaces. Do not
immerse the coffee maker in water; simply wipe with a cloth and
mild detergent if necessary. Do not put in the dishwasher or use
harsh, abrasive cleaners.
For the best tasting results prior to making coffee we recommend
that you flush the coffee maker out with cold water only, without
using coffee to remove any dust which may still be inside the cof-
fee maker. To do this follow the directions ‘Preparing the coffee’.
Installation
• Place the coffee maker on a flat work surface at a safe distance
from taps and sinks.
• Check that the voltage corresponds to that indicated on the
appliance rating plate.The appliance must always be connected
to a well-earthed socket rated at 10A minimum.The manufac-
turer is not liable for damage caused by inadequate earthing of
the appliance.
• In the event of incompatibility between the plug on the appli-
ance and the socket, have the plug replaced by a qualified serv-
ice engineer.
If the cable is damaged or requires replacing, contact a service
centre authorised by the manufacturer only.
• Never install the machine in an environment that can reach a
temperature less than or equal to 0°C (the appliance may be
damaged if the water freezes).

How to prepare the filter coffee
•Lift the cover (Fig. 2).
•Fill the water tank (the carafe gives an indication of the levels)
with fresh clean water up to the mark corresponding to the
number of cups of coffee to be prepared (fig. 3).
•Position the permanent filter into the filter holder into the
machine (fig. 4).
•Place the ground coffee in the filter, using the measuring spoon
supplied, and level evenly (Fig. 5).As a general rule, use a level
measuring spoon of ground coffee for each cup (for example,
10 spoons to make 10 cups).The quantity of ground coffee used
may vary according to personal taste. Use good quality, medium
ground coffee, packaged for filter coffee makers.
•Close the cover and place the carafe with the cover in place on
the hot plate.
Mechanical models only:
•Press the switch to the "I" position: the switch will light up (fig. 6).
•The coffee will filter through after a few seconds. It is complete-
ly normal for the appliance to release a little steam while the
coffee is filtering.
•If the switch is left in the "I" position after filtration, the hot
plate keeps the coffee at the ideal temperature.

Descaling
If the water in your local area is hard, lime scale will form over
time.These deposits may affect the correct operation of the appli-
ance.
The appliance should be descaled every 40 cycles.To descale,
always use a special descaling product for filter coffee machines
available on the market. Alternatively, citric acid can be used.
Proceed as follows:
•fill the carafe with four cups of water: empty into the water
tank.
•dissolve two spoonfuls (about 30 grams) of citric acid (available
in chemists or drug stores) and pour the solution into the
water tank;
•place the carafe on the hot plate and the filter holder into place
without ground coffee;
•press the ON/OFF coffee button (electronic models) or the O/I
button (mechanical models), filter the equivalent of two cups
then turn the appliance off;
•leave the solution to act for an hour;
•turn the appliance on again and allow the rest of the solution to
filter through;
•rinse by operating the appliance with water only at least three
times (a full carafe at a time).

Electrical requirements
Before using this appliance ensure that the voltage indicated
on the product corresponds with the main voltage in your
home, if you are in any doubt about your supply contact your
local electricity company.
The flexible mains lead is supplied connected to a B.S. 1363 fused plug
having a fuse of 13 amp capacity. Should this plug not fit the socket out-
lets in your home, it should be cut off and replaced with a suitable plug,
following the procedure outlined below.
Note: Such a plug cannot be used for any other appliance and should
therefore be properly disposed of and not left where children might find
it and plug it into a supply socket - with the obvious consequent danger.
N.B. We recommend the use of good quality plugs and wall sockets that
can be switched off when the machine is not in use.
important: the wires in the mains lead fitted to this appliance are
coloured in accordance with the following code:
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not
correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your
plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the
terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the earth
symbol or coloured green or green and yellow.
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.
When wiring the plug, ensure that all strands of wire are securely
retained in each terminal. Do not forget to tighten the mains lead clamp
on the plug. If your electricity supply point has only two pin socket out-
lets, or if you are in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.
Should the mains lead ever require replacement, it is essential that this
operation be carried out by a qualified electrician and should only be
replaced with a flexible cord of the same size.
After replacement of a fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be refitted.
If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a replacement
cover is obtained.The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is
that of the coloured insert in the base of the fuse recess or elsewhere
on the plug. Always state this colour when ordering a replacement fuse
cover.
Only 13amp replacement fuses which are asta approved to B.S. 1362
should be fitted.
This appliance conforms to the Norms EN 55014 regarding the sup-
pression of radio interference.
