Preparation
Caution
7 First time use: Run the appliance at least 4
times without adding coffee.
7 Please follow the steps 1 - 2 and 7 - 12 in the
“Brewing Coffee” section.
1 Remove all packaging and stickers and dis-
pose 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 Open the water tank cover A and use the
glass jug G to fill the water tank E with the
required amount of water, but do not fill past
the “max” mark. The brewed amount of coffee
will be 10 % less than the filled water, because
it is absorbed by the coffee grounds and the fil-
ter. The scale on the glass jug is marked in cof-
fee 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
7 Use only clean, cold, and fresh drinking
water.
7 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.
3 Pull out the filter basket C by pulling the han-
dle B.
4 Take a suitable paper filter (1 x 4) and insert
the paper filter into the filter basket C.
Note
7 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 side
rail.
7 Place the glass jug G on the warming plate H.
Caution
7 If the filter basket C is not closed or the glass
jug G is not placed accurately, the drip-stop
function will not function properly. It could
cause hot water or hot coffee to overflow.
8 Connect the plug to the wall socket.
9 Turn the appliance on by pushing the ON/OFF
button M.
– The ON/OFF button M illuminates and the
brewing process begins.
Notes
7 The brewing process can be stopped at any
time by pushing the On/Off button M again.
7 The appliance is equipped with a drip-stop F
located underneath the filter basket C and
enables you to briefly remove the glass jug G
to pour coffee before the water has finished
running through the machine.

OPERATION _________________________________
Caution
7 Make sure to place the glass jug G on the
warming plate H 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.
7 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.
7 If water / coffee is not draining from the filter
basket C after several seconds with the glass
jug G properly in place H immediately
unplug the unit and wait 10 minutes before
opening and checking the filter basket C.
7 When the brewing process ends and the
water level indicator with MAX marking D 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 G.

finished and the glass jug G is filled. The cof-
fee is ready.

repeat the procedure from 1 to 12. Let the
appliance cool down at least 15 minutes be-
tween each brewing process.
Hints and Tips
7 Use softened or filtered water to prevent lime
build-up.
7 Store unused coffee in a cool, dry place. After
opening a package of coffee reseal it tightly
to maintain its freshness.
7 Do not reuse the coffee sediment in the filter
since this will reduce the flavour.
7 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. Des-
cale 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 for the descaler. Should the manufac-
turer’s instructions differ from the ones listed
below, then follow the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions.
Note
7 You can also use white vinegar and lemon
juice instead of a commercially available
descaler.
3 Fill the water tank to the MAX marking and add
descaler.
Mixing ratio: 4 parts water to 1 part descaler.
4 Turn the appliance ON and allow approxi-
mately one large coffee cup to run through the
appliance.
5 Turn the appliance off.
6 Let the mixture soak for about 15 minutes.
