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.

Using for the first time
Before using the machine for the first time, wash all the acces-
sories in warm soapy water and rinse. For the best tasting coffee
the internal circuits mut be flushed through at least twice.To do
this, follow the instructions in the paragraph “How to prepare the
filter coffee” without using ground coffee.
Installation
•After removing the packaging, make sure the product is com-
plete.
•If in doubt, do not use the appliance and contact a qualified pro-
fessional.
•The packing elements (plastic bags, polystyrene foam, etc.)
should be kept out of reach of children as they are a safety haz-
ard.
•Place the appliance on a work surface far away from water taps,
basins and sources of heat.
•After positioning the appliance on the work top, leave a space
of at least 5 cm between the surfaces of the appliance and the
side and rear walls and at least 20 cm above the coffee maker.
•Never install the appliance in environments where the tempera-
ture may reach 0°C or lower (the appliance may be damaged if
the water freezes).
•Make sure the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage indicat-
ed on the appliance rating plate.
Connect the appliance to an efficiently earthed socket with a
minimum current rating of 10A only.
The manufacturer may not be considered liable for possible
incidents caused by the failure to adequately earth the mains.
•If the power socket does not match the plug on the appliance,
have the socket replaced with a suitable type by a qualified pro-
fessional.
•The power cable on this appliance must not be replaced by the
user as this operation requires the use of special tools.
If the cable is damaged or requires replacing, contact an autho-
rised service centre only to avoid all risks.
Programming the clock (fig. 1)
Plug the appliance into the mains socket.The first time it comes
on, "AM 0:00" appears on the display.
To set the precise time, press the "SET CLOCK" button repeated-
ly.This can be done rapidly by simply holding the button down.
The time can be set at any moment.

Chlorine filter (if fitted)
The filter eliminates the taste of chlorine from the water. To install
the filter, proceed as follows :
•Remove the chlorine filter from the plastic bag and rinse it in
tap water.
•Lift the water tank lid and remove the chlorine filter holder
from its housing by lifting it upwards (fig. 2).
•Open the chlorine filter holder and carefully place the filter in
the holder as shown in fig. 3.
•Close the filter holder and replace it in its housing pushing it
fully down.
•The chlorine filter must be replaced every 80 uses, and alzays
after six months of operation.
How to prepare the filter coffee
•Lift the lid and fill the tank with fresh, clean water up to the
level corresponding to the number of cups of coffee required
using the coffee jug marked with the level indicators (fig. 4).
•Place the permanent filter in the filter holder (fig. 5).
•Place the ground coffee in the filter, using the measuring spoon
supplied, and level evenly (Fig. 6). As a general rule, use a level
measuring spoon of ground coffee (around 7 grams) for each
cup (for example, 8 spoons to make 8 cups). Never use more
than 14 level spoons.The quantity of ground coffee used will
vary according to personal taste. Use good quality, medium
ground coffee, packaged for filter coffee makers.
•Close the lid and place the jug on the plate with the lid on (fig.
7).
•Your appliance has an AROMA button.When this is pressed,
percolation of the coffee is slowed down to extract more of
the aroma.To activate the function, press the AROMA button.
The light on the button comes on. You are recommended to use
the AROMA button when you do not want to make a full jug of cof-
fee.
• Press the "ON/AUTO/OFF" switch (Fig. 8).The light on the but-
ton comes on to indicate that the drip coffee maker is operat-
ing and "BREW" appears on the display.

• The coffee will start to come out after a few seconds. It is
completely normal for the appliance to release a little
steam while the coffee is filtering.
•Abeep indicates when the coffee is ready. If you leave the
ON/OFF button pressed after percolation has finished, the
plate will keep the coffee at the ideal temperature.
Attention: removing the jug before all the coffee is made does
not interrupt production of the coffee, but merely blocks flow
into the jug. If you want to pour out a little coffee immediate-
ly, you are recommended to do so as rapidly as possible in
order to avoid the coffee overflowing in the filter holder.
PROGRAMMING START-UP (AUTO)
Check that the time of day is set correctly.
To programme when you want the coffee to be made:
•Press the "SET TIMER" button and hold it down until the start-
up time is reached.
•Then release the "SET TIMER" button.The time flashes briefly.
ACTIVATING THE TIMER FUNCTION
After:
- setting the time you want the appliance to come on and go off
as described in the above paragraph;
- preparing the appliance to make coffee. Press the
"ON/AUTO/OFF" button (fig. 9) rapidly twice.The light on the
button shows that the appliance is operating and AUTO appears
on the display.
Coffee starts to run off several minutes later than the set time to
allow for preheating of the machine, thus optimising the tempera-
ture of the coffee.
Cleaning and maintenance
Before performing any cleaning or maintenance operations, turn
the machine off, unplug it from the power socket and allow it to
cool down.
1. When cleaning the coffee maker, do not use solvents or abra-
sive detergents.A soft, damp cloth is sufficient.
2. Never immerse the coffee maker in water: it is an electrical
appliance.

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.
When the "ON/AUTO/OFF" button flashes, proceed with descal-
ing.The descaling process may be performed using special com-
mercially-available scale removers for filter coffee makers.
Alternatively, white wine vinegar can be used as follows:
1. Remove the chlorine filter.
2. Pour 2 cups of white wine vinegar and 3 cups of water into the
tank. Place the tank in the coffee maker;
3. Place the jug on the warming plate, do not put any ground cof-
fee in the filter holder;
4. Press the filter coffee ON/OFF switch, filter the equivalent of
one cup and then switch off the appliance;
5. Leave the vinegar to act for one hour;
6. Switch the coffee maker back on and filter the rest of the solu-
tion;
7. To rinse the machine, operate it with water and without ground
coffee at least 3 times (3 complete tanks of water).
You are recommended to descale the coffee machine about every
300 coffees.
