-
Every time the appliance is used, the main body including the power cord as well as any attachment fitted should be checked thoroughly for any defects. Should the appliance, for instance, have been dropped onto a hard surface, or if excessive force has been used to pull the power cord, it must no longer be used: even invisible damage may have adverse effects on the operational safety of the appliance.

Do not touch the plug with wet hands.
-
To prevent the danger of hot water or steam being emitted, always switch off the coffee maker and allow sufficient time for the appliance to cool down before opening the lid or removing any accessories or attachments.
-
Do not leave the appliance unattended while it is switched on.
-
No responsibility will be accepted if damage results from improper use, or if these instructions are not complied with.
Cable storage compartment
There is a cable storage compartment at the rear of the appliance. Pull out
the cord to the required length before use.
Automatic switch-off
To save energy, models with a heatretaining carafe will switch off
automatically once the brewing cycle has been completed.
Before using for the first time
Before making coffee for the first time, let the appliance go through two or
three filtration cycles, using the indicated maximum amount of cold water but
without any coffee. Perform this procedure separately for each side. This
should also be done if the appliance has not been used for an extended time,
and after descaling.
General information
-
The double markings on each of the water reservoirs help you to measure the amount of water needed to prepare he required number of cups of coffee.
The scale on the left-hand side corresponds to medium-sized cups with a capacity of approx. 125 ml; the one on the right to smaller-sized cups.
Take care not to exceed the indicated maximum number of cups. -
If several consecutive brewing cycles are required, switch off the machine after each cycle and let it cool down for approx. 5 minutes.
-
Warning: Be careful not to put water into the reservoir immediately after a brewing cycle, as hot steam may escape from the water nozzle. Danger of scalding!
-
Caution: Do not attempt to open the lid while brewing is in progress: there is a danger of scalding.
To prepare filter coffee
Coffee can be prepared with one side, or with both sides at the same time.
-
Filling the water reservoir:
Open the lid, fill the reservoir with the required amount of fresh cold water and close the lid again. -
Inserting the paper filter:
Open the swing-out filter and insert a size-4 paper filter into the filter holder, first folding down the perforated sides of the filter. -
Adding ground coffee:
We recommend using finely ground filter coffee, approximately 6 g = 1½ – 2 tsp. per medium-sized cup (125 ml). -
Preparing the carafe:
Place the drip-through lid onto the carafe. If correctly fitted, the lid will disable the drip-stop mechanism in the filter holder during the brewing cycle.
Replace the carafe in the appliance. -
Starting the filtering process:
Insert the plug into a suitable wall outlet and use the On/Off button to switch the coffee maker on. The filtering process begins. -
Removing the carafe:
When the filtering process is complete, i.e. all water has run through the filter into the carafe, remove the carafe to serve the coffee.
To pour the coffee, turn the lid counterclockwise about half a turn so that the arrow on the lid is aligned with the pouring spout.
After serving, turn the lid clockwise until the two arrows are facing each other. -
The machine will switch off automatically once the brewing cycle is complete.
-
Interrupting the brewing cycle:
To interrupt the brewing cycle, press the On/Off button again to turn the appliance off. -
Switching the coffee maker off:
Remove the plug from the wall socket once brewing is complete.
Heat-retaining carafe
-
For technical reasons, the screw cap does not make a complete seal.
Therefore, always hold the carafe in an upright position. -
Keeping the coffee hot: a heatretaining carafe accumulates heat energy, and the carafe is therefore better filled to its maximum capacity. If it is only partly filled, the temperature will not be maintained as efficiently.
If you rinse out the carafe with hot water before use, the coffee will be kept warm for a longer. -
The glass flask of the heat-retaining carafe is made of high-quality doublewalled glass.
-
Any streaks or bubble marks inside the carafe looking like bubbles or scratches do not affect its functional use nor its heat-retaining ability.
-
For better insulation, there is a vacuum between the two walls.
-
In case the glass is damaged for one or the other reason as mentioned below, there is a risk that the glass carafe implodes because of the vacuum. This might happen quite some time after the glass carafe has actually been damaged, so that a connection to the actual cause of the damage is not obvious.
-
Therefore, do not drink out of the carafe and do not put your hand into it.
To prevent damage to the glass flask:
- Avoid shocks and large differences in temperature.
- Do not stir liquid inside the carafe with metal objects or other hard implements, for example with a metal spoon.
- Do not use hard brushes or abrasive cleaning agents.
- Do not wipe the inside with a cloth. Dust particles may damage the glass (in the same way as a glass-cutter).
- Do not put in a dishwasher.
- Do not use in a microwave oven.
Descaling
-
Depending on the water quality (lime content) in your area as well as the frequency of use, all thermal household appliances using hot water need descaling (i.e. removal of lime deposits) on a regular basis to warrant proper functioning.
-
A lengthening of the brewing time, residual water remaining in the container or increased noise during brewing indicate that descaling of the coffee maker has become necessary.
-
An excessive build-up of lime deposits is very difficult to remove, even when strong descaling agents are used. It may also cause the brewing system to leak.
To avoid damage caused by the build-up of deposits, descale the appliance after thirty to forty brewing cycles. -
Any warranty claim will be null and void if the appliance malfunctions because of insufficient descaling.
-
We recommend using vinegar for descaling.
Cleaning and care
- Remove the plug from the wall socket and allow the appliance to cool before cleaning.
- To avoid the risk of electric shock, never immerse the coffee maker in water. It may be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth, using a mild detergent. Wipe dry afterwards.
- Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners.
- Dispose of the coffee grounds and rinse the filter. As a natural substance, the coffee grounds may be composted.
Heat-retaining carafe:
- Do not dismantle the heat-retaining carafe, do not wash in a dishwasher and do not immerse it in water.
- Rinse the inside with water and wipe the outside with a clean damp cloth after use.
- To remove coffee deposits from the inside of the heat-retaining carafe, fill it with hot water and add a tablespoon of dishwasher detergent. Close the screw cap and leave the carafe for some hours. Rinse out thoroughly with water afterwards.
- Drip-through lid:
To clean the drip-through lid, it must be fitted before the water (with or without detergent) is poured out, so that the water flows through the lid. If a dishwasher detergent is used, rinse thoroughly with fresh water afterwards.
To clean the valve in the drip-through lid, push the valve in and flush with warm water.
Disposal
Devices marked with this symbol must be disposed of separately from your
