3. Pour water into the water tank 2up to the 8-cup
mark and then place it in the coffee machine
so that it is firmly seated. If you fill it with more
than 8 cups water and brew it without coffee

2. Place a filter bag (size 1 x 4) with folded over
sides in the filter holder.
3. Fill it with the required amount of coffee powder
using the measuring spoon.
Note:
Fill it with about one levelled coffee spoon of
ground coffee per cup of filter coffee. If the filter
coffee should be less strong, you can reduce the
amount of ground coffee per cup.

Note
You can bbrriieeffllyytake the thermos can 8out of the
machine (for max. 30 seconds), for example, if you
want to pour a coffee. Thereby, no coffee will drip
from the machine.
Place the thermos can back on the stand plate 0
within 30 seconds.
Otherwise, the filter will overflow and coffee/water
will drain from the filter holder 4.
Pouring coffee
To pour coffee from the thermos can 8it is not
necessary to completely unscrew the thermos can
lid 7:
1. Unscrew the thermos can lid 7so far that the
arrow points to the symbol . With this,
coffee may be poured from the can without
the thermos lid 7falling off.
2. After pouring, close the thermos can lid 7
immediately. If you do not, the coffee will cool
more quickly.
Note
Should you wish to keep the coffee warm in the
thermos can 8for an extended period, remove the
thermos can 8from the coffee maker when the bre-
wing process is finished. When the thermos can 8
is standing in the coffee maker the thermos can lid
7, due to the brewing mechanism, is pressed
down. As soon as the brewing process is complete,
hot air escapes through the thermos can lid 7. The
coffee cools faster. When the thermos can 8is re-
moved from the coffee maker, the thermos can lid
7 closes itself automatically. The coffee stays hot
for longer.
Note
Wait at least 3 minutes before you start another
brewing process.

Cleaning
To obtain an optimal taste result after every brewing
process you should clean the coffee machine after
every use.
• Unplug the power cable from the mains power
socket.
Risk of electric shock!
Before you clean the coffee maker you MUST remove
the plug from the mains power socket. Under no
circumstances may the appliance be immersed in
water or held under running water during cleaning.
Risk of burns!
Always wait until the coffee maker has cooled
down before cleaning it. This avoids the potential
risk of being burnt.
Attention!
Do not use household detergents or sharp/pointed
objects to remove soiling. . These could damage
the appliance.
• Wipe the housing of the coffee machine and
the thermos can 8with a soft cloth lightly
moistened with a soapy solution. At the same
time remove any deposits that may have settled
in the thermos can 8.
• After every brewing process remove the filter
bag from the filter holder 4.
• Rinse both of them under running water.
• Clean the measuring spoon in mild soapy water
and rinse it with clean water.
Scale removal
The mineral content (hardness) in the water causes,
over a period of time, a calcification of the coffee
machine. This calcification impairs the appliance in
its function and diminishes the quality of the brewed
filter coffee.
Note:
Enquire at your local waterworks about the hardness
level of your mains water. The need for decalcification
comes early in hard water areas, somewhat later
in soft water areas. Use a decalcifier designed for
household appliances and pay heed to the usage
instructions.
1. Switch the coffee machine off and allow it to
cool down completely.
2. Place the scale removal product in the water
tank 2.
3. Fill it with the maximum permitted amount of
water for descaling (see the descaler instructions).
However, do not pour in more water than to the
8-cup marking in the water tank 2.
4. Place the thermos can 8on the stand plate 0.
5. Press the On/Off switch 9.
6. Wait until the brewing process is complete and
the control lamp goes out.
7. Unplug the power cable from the mains power
socket.
8. Carefully rinse the thermos can 8with mains
water.
9. Take the water tank 2off and rinse it out with
clean water.
10. To finish, complete two brewing processes using
only mains water, as described in the section
"Before the first usage".
When completed, you can continue to use the
coffee machine.
