INSTALLATION
ELECTRICAL
·Electrical specification: 230Vac. 50Hz.
·This machine must be connected to a fused 13A single-phase power supply.
·This machine is provided with a 3-pin plug and must be connected to an earthed
supply.
PLUMBING
·Mains water pressure required (limits): 5-50psi (35-345kPa)
·Fit a stop Valve on a cold water line and attach a 3/4" BSP male fitting, (e.g. 3/4" x

·Connect straight tailpiece of the inlet hose to the stop valve fitting. Make sure that
the pre-attached sealing washer is fitted.
·Turn on the water to flush any impurities, dust etc from the inlet hose and water
pipe. Allow several gallons through.
·Connect right-angled tailpiece of the hose to the inlet valve of the boiler (again
3/4" BSP). Make sure the sealing washer is fitted here also.
·Turn on water and check for leaks.
LOCATION
·Position the brewer at buffet height on a firm level base that can bear the weight

OPERATION
PRIMING
This machine is self priming once it is connected to a mains water supply and turned on.
N.B. An amount of water will always remain in the machine and this should be
considered when moving the machine or leaving the machine unused for long periods.
BREWING COFFEE
·Use fine grain coffee which has been ground for use with filter brewers.
·Keep the jugs/flasks and basket filter clean
·Put the correct amount of ground coffee into the filter paper. Your coffee supply
company may have pack sizes to suit the brews of your new brewer; if not, as an
approximate guide for your first brews:
Glass Jug
Flask
Water Volume
1.8L
2.2L
Coffee
65-90 grams
75-110 grams
·Level off the surface of coffee by gently shaking the filter bowl. Slide the coffee
filter bowl into the guide rails and push fully home.
·Plug the machine into the power supply and switch on the power button –the left
rocker switch on the front panel - the ‘Brew Ready’ LED will illuminate Green.
·To initiate a brew, press the ‘Brew’ rocker switch –the right rocker switch on the
front panel.
·The ‘Brew Ready’ LED will now turn Off and the ‘Brewing’ LED will flash Red
whilst fresh water is taken into the tank.
·When the water tank is full, the ‘Brewing’ LED will stay lit Red and the heater will
switch on.
·At the end of the process the ‘Brew Ready’ light will stay illuminated red for 2
minutes to allow for adequate ‘drip time’ from the brew basket.
·At the end of 2 minutes the buzzer will sound (2 short pulses) and the ‘Brew
Ready’ LED will turn Green.
·The coffee is now ready to serve.
The lower hot plate will turn on as soon as the machine is turned on for single hot plate
versions.
To use the upper hot plate (only fitted on Dual Hot plate version - 1000619), turn the
switch on at back, right-hand side of the machine. The upper hot plate is independently
controlled by this switch.
MAINTENANCE
This machine has been designed to give many years of trouble free service.
The only regular maintenance required is occasional de-scaling.
In common with all coffee brewer manufacturers, service calls resulting from lime scale
are not covered by warranty. Fitting a scale reducer is recommended, especially in
hard water areas. This can reduce the build-up of scale but may not stop it altogether.
The machine should be de-scaled regularly (3-6 months). The frequency that de-scaling
is required depends on the local water supply; hard water areas need more attention.

The ‘Descale’ indicator is set to trigger every 300 cycles as a reminder for the user to
descale the machine. The machine will continue to operate but the ‘Descale’ light will
not reset until the ‘Descale Reset’ button is depressed and held during a power up
sequence.
DESCALING PROCEDURE
·Dissolve the recommended amount of scale remover (see instructions for scale
remover) in one litre of warm water (approx 60 –70 °C).
·Slide an empty filter basket into the basket guide rails and place an empty
jug/flask under it.
·Turn off the water supply to the machine.
·Select and run a brew - removing some of the water from the reservoir.
·At the end of the brew empty the jug and return it to under the basket.
·Carefully pour the solution into the tank (cold water reservoir) via the descale
port on the top of the machine. On Dual hot plate version (1000619) –the top lid
should be opened and the descale solution should be poured directly into the
tank. Select and run a brew. The solution will now run through the heating system
and discharge into the jug/flask.
·Switch off the machine after one minute.
·Wait about 2 minutes. The solution will react with the scale in the heating system.
·After the 2 minutes switch the machine back on and run a brew again to allow the
rest of the solution to run through the system.
·At the end of the process the ‘Brew Ready’ light will illuminate and the sounder
will sound. (2 short pulses).
·Dispose of the de-scale solution and rinse out the jug/flask.
·Turn the water supply on again and flush the system twice by following the coffee
brewing procedure without using filter paper or coffee. Remember to empty the
jug/flask each time.
·Switch off the machine and thoroughly clean the basket filter and the jug/flask.
·The machine is now ready for use.
·The ‘Descale’ light will not reset until the ‘Descale Reset’ button is depressed and
held during a power up sequence.
CLEANING
The exterior of this machine may be cleaned with a damp cloth and a light detergent.
Do not use abrasive cloths or creams, as this will spoil the finish of the machine. Do not
use a water jet or spray. The glass jugs and flasks can be washed normally and rinsed
clean. The coffee deposits in the coffee jugs/flasks and the filter can be cleaned with a
suitable Jug/Urn Cleanser.
The Filtro is designed with a spray head which can be easily removed by hand for
cleaning or de-scaling - the bayonet type of fixing can be simply twisted in and out of
position. Ensure that the spray head is securely in place when replacing it.
