WARNING
When using electrical appliances,
basic safety precautions must al-
ways be followed, including the
following:
1. Read all instructions and use
only in accordance with these
instructions.
2. The appliance is designed
for brewing various types of
coee as described in the in-
structions. Do not use the ap-
pliance for other than intend-
ed use.
3. Never place your fingers un-
der the spout while the ap-
pliance is operating—this
may result in scalding. Never
insert your fingers in the pod
opening—this may result in
injury.
4. Never open the handle on
the appliance during the
brewing, rinsing, cleaning
or descaling processes. Al-
ways keep the handle in the
closed/down position while
brewer is operating.
5. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use
handles or knobs when avail-
able.
6. Never use a damaged or de-
formed pod. Only use bever-
age pods suitable for this ap-
pliance.
7. Only use pods intended for
this appliance. If the pod does
not fit, do not force the pod
into the appliance.
8. Never lift the appliance by its

16. Do not use outdoors.
17. Do not operate the appliance
from within cupboards.
18. To protect against fire, electric
shock and injury, do not im-
merse appliance, cord or plug
in water or any other liquid.
19. This appliance is equipped
with a power cord having a
grounding wire with a ground-
ing plug. Only plug the appli-
ance into a grounded 3-pin
wall outlet. In the event of
an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of
electrical shock. Check that
power supply ratings match
the electrical ratings speci-
fied on the product’s name-
plate. The warranty becomes
null and void if the appliance
is plugged into an incorrect
power supply.
20. Do not, under any circum-
stances, cut or remove the
third (ground) prong from the
power cord or use an adapter
that converts a 3-prong plug
to a 2-prong plug. Consult
a qualified electrician if the
grounding instructions are
not completely understood,
or if doubt exists as to wheth-
er the appliance is properly
grounded.
21. Turn o and unplug from out-
let when not in use and before
cleaning. Allow to cool before
putting on or taking o parts,
and before cleaning the appli-
ance.
22. Do not operate appliance with
a damaged cord or plug or af-
ter the appliance malfunctions
in any manner. Please find the
contact details on page 34
to report any malfunction or
damage to the appliance and
receive instructions for any
return for examination, repair,
or adjustment.
23. Do not let cord hang over the
edge of the table or the coun-
ter, or touch hot surfaces.
24. To disconnect, always turn any
control to “o” first, then re-
move plug from wall outlet.
25. Close supervision is necessary
when this appliance is used by
or near children. Store the ap-
pliance and all its accessories
outside the reach of children.
26. Refer to the instructions for
use of all cleaning and des-
caling agents before use and
comply with the safety regu-
lations. Do not turn o appli-
ance during rinsing or descal-
ing process.
27. Apart from normal use—

WARNING
WARNING: Make sure the handle
is closed completely during use.
Extremely hot water runs through
the appliance when operating
(brewing, descaling, cleaning,
rinsing). To avoid the risk of scal-
ding or other injury, always keep
the handle in the closed/down
position while machine is opera-
ting. Do not reach under the spout
or remove the drip tray while the
appliance is operating.
• Take care when emptying the drip
tray. The water can be very hot.
• There is a danger of scalding when
evaporating the residual water
(the steam temperature can be as
high as 248 °F / 120 °C).
CAUTION
Hygiene and cleaning
• Only use pods with a best-by date
that has not yet expired.
• Store pods in a suitable location.
• It is recommended to rinse the
appliance five times before first
use to prime machine and once
after your last beverage of the
day to rinse the system. Read
the instructions under “Daily
Maintenance“ on page 22 - 23.
• Clean the appliance periodically
and in accordance with the ope-
rating manual to prevent hygiene
risks.
• Only use water, dish soap and a
mild cloth.
• Carefully read the user instruc-
tions about the cleaning and des-
caling agents and comply with
the safety instructions.

Short cord instructions
A short power-supply cord is pro-
vided to reduce risks of entangle-
ment or tripping over a longer cord.
Extension cords may be used if care
is exercised in their use. If a longer
power supply or extension cord is
used, 1) The marked electrical ra-
ting of the extension cord should
be at least as great as the electrical
rating of the appliance, 2) If the
appliance is a grounded type, the
extension cord should be a groun-
ded type 3-wire cord, and 3) The
longer cord should be arranged so
it will not drape over the counter
top or table top where it can be pul-
led on by children or tripped over.
Information on Energy-Saving
Mode and Power O
The brewer returns to energy-
saving mode if it is unused for more
than 90 seconds (factory setting).
The brewer uses considerably less
energy (less than 0.5 W/h) in this
mode.

1Open and close the lever to eject any
pod which might have been inserted. Now
remove and empty the water tank.
2Set the insertion date (month) using
the rotating scale on the water filter. The
expiry date is automatically displayed.
3Insert the filter into the empty wa-
ter tank. Now fill the water tank with
fresh drinking water. Put it back into
the appliance and place a heat-safe cup
under the spout.
WARNING:
Read the user and safety
information about the water
filter through carefully. We recommend
that you replace the water filter every
3 months at the latest for hygienic rea-
sons.
NOTE:
This water filter protects your
appliance against calcifica-
tion and reduces the number of times
you have to descale it. It also removes
undesirable odours and flavourings
such as chlorine etc. and therefore
improves the quality of your drinks.
Please only use water filters which
are suitable for K-fee® – your system
brewer. For further information please

Information on using bottled
fresh water:
If you prefer to prepare your coee
using non-carbonated bottled water,
please note: depending on its origin,
this is not necessarily softer than drin-
king water from the tap. Your appliance
can become calcified just as quickly.
Please do not use carbonated mineral
water under any circumstances.
