Preparation
Caution
█ First time use: Run the appliance at least 4
times without adding coffee.
█ Please follow the steps 1 - 2 and 7 - 12 in the
“Brewing Coffee” section.
1 Remove all packaging and stickers and
dispose of them according to applicable legal
regulations.
2 Before using the appliance for the first time,
clean all parts which come into contact with
water carefully. Please see full details in the
“Cleaning and Care” section.
3 Make sure that the appliance is placed in an
upright position and on a stable, flat, clean,
dry and non-slip surface.
Brewing Coffee
1 Pull off and fill the water tank F with the
required amount of water, but do not fill past
the “12” mark. The brewed amount of coffee
will be 10% less than the filled water, because
it is absorbed by the coffee grounds and the
fillter. The scale on the glass jug is marked in
coffee cups, e.g. 4 = 4 cups. For the good
coffee taste it is suggested to operate the
appliance with at least 4 cups coffee serving.
Notes
█ Use only clean, cold and fresh drinking water.
█ There is a drip hole on the back of the water
reservoir to prevent exceeding the capacity of
the coffee maker. If you add too much water, it
will drip out from the back of the unit.
2 Close the water tank cover A and open the
filter basket cover B.
3 Pull out the filter basket C.
4 Take a suitable paper filter (1 x 4) and insert
the paper filter into the filter basket C and
close the filter basket cover B.
Note
█ Use only one paper filter at each time. Make
sure that the paper filter does not bend or fold.
5 Fill the filter with the desired amount of ground
coffee. To do this, you may use the supplied
measuring spoon.
6 Insert the filter basket C back into the housing.
7 Place the glass jug H on the warming plate I.
Caution
█ If the filter basket C is not closed or the glass
jug H is not placed accurately, the drip-stop
function will not work properly. It could cause
hot water or work hot coffee to overflow.
8 Connect the plug to the wall socket.
9 Turn the appliance on by pushing the On/Off
button P.
– The On/Off button P illuminates and the
brewing process begins.
Notes
█ The brewing process can be stopped at any
time by pushing the On/Off button P again.
█ Ventilation slots D allow the steam output. Do
not block these during use.
█ The coffee machine has a stay-warm function
and can keep the brewed coffee warm for up
to 30 minutes when the machine is switched
on. In accordance with eco design guidelines,
the machine will automatically switch itself off
after this time.
█ The appliance is equipped with a drip-stop G
located underneath the filter basket C and
enables you to briefly remove the glass jug H
to pour coffee before the water has finished
running through the machine.

ENGLISH
OPERATION ______________________________
Caution
█ Make sure to place the glass jug H on the
warming plate I quickly (max. 30 seconds).
Otherwise the brewed coffee from the filter
could overflow. If you want to use the glass
jug for more than 30 seconds switch off the
appliance.
█ Never pull out the filter basket C during the
brewing process even if no water is draining
from the filter. Extremely hot water or coffee
can spill out from the filter basket and cause
injury.
█ If water/coffee is not draining from the filter
basket C after several seconds with the glass
jug H properly in place I immediately un-
plug the unit and wait 10 minutes before open-
ing and checking the filter basket C.
█ When the brewing process ends and the water
level indicator E is empty, there will still be
hot liquid in the filter basket C. Wait a few
minutes for the rest of the liquid to drip into the
glass jug H.
10 Remove the glass jug H from the warming
plate I as soon as the brewing process has
finished and the glass jug H is filled. The
coffee is ready.
11 To turn the appliance of, push the On/Off
button P.
12 Disconnect the appliance from the wall
socket.
Notes
█ If you want to continue the brewing process,
repeat the procedure from 1 to 12. Let the ap-
pliance cool down at least 15 minutes between
each brewing process.
█ For a better aroma, use aroma button O which
activates a unique brewing process that en-
hances the flavor and aroma of your coffee.
To reach this rich flavor, the coffee maker ad-
vances through several continuous cycles. This
special time-release process saturates grounds
gradually to extract the best favor and aroma.
Hints and Tips
█ Use softened or filtered water to prevent lime
build-up.
█ Store unused coffee in a cool, dry place. After
opening a package of coffee reseal it tightly to
maintain its freshness.
█ Do not reuse the coffee sediment in the filter
since this will reduce the flavour.
█ Reheating coffee is not recommended as coffee
is at its peak flavour immediately after brewing.

Descaling the appliance
Descaling extends the life of your appliance.
Descale your coffee maker at least 4 times per
year. The period depends on the water hardness
in your area. The harder the water is, the more
often the appliance has to be descaled.
1 Purchase a suitable descaler from a speciality
store. Please ask naming the device.
2 Prior to commencing the descaling process
thoroughly read the manufacturer’s
package insert of the descaler. Should the
manufacturer’s instructions differ from the ones
listed below, then follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Note
█ You can also use white vinegar and lemon acid
instead of a commercially available descaler.
3 Fill the water tank to the “12” mark and add
descaler.
Mixing ratio: 4 parts water to 1 part descaler.
4 Turn the appliance on and allow approximately
one large coffee cup to run through the
appliance.
5 Turn the appliance off.
6 Let the mixture soak for about 15 minutes.
7 Repeat steps 4 – 6.

mixture run through.

water and run all the water through.
