Note About the Brewing Process
During the brewing process and depending on the degree of grinding and the used amount, the coffee powder absorbs a certain amount of water. That is why the quantity of coffee might diverge from the quantity of water in the water tank.
European Regulations on Energy Saving
NOTE:
The European Directive 2009 / 125 / EC (Ecodesign Direc-tive) incorporates measurements for energy saving. The following applies to coffee makers: The keep-warm period is limited to max. 5 minutes after which the appli-ance turns off automatically.
You benefit from better safety and lower energy con-sumption.
Electric Connection

1. Ensure that your mains power corresponds with the specifications of the appliance. The specifications are printed on the type label.
2. Connect the mains cable to a properly installed and earthed wall outlet.

Initial Operation
Before making coffee for the first time operate the appliance twice with clean water only and without paper filter. This removes dust, which may have collected during transport. Follow the instructions given under “Operation”.
Turning the Appliance On / Off

• Press the “ ” switch in order to turn on the appliance. The button must snap in. The operating control lamp lights up.
• Press the “ ” switch in order to turn off the appliance or to cancel the brewing process. The operating control lamp turns off.

Operation

1. Open the lid of the water tank.

2. Fill cold water according to the desired amount of cups of coffee into the rear water tank. You can determine the water level with the help of the scale in the water tank.

   You can use the pot to fill the water tank. To open the lid of the pot, press the two latching lugs together simultaneously.
   CAUTION :
   Do not overfill the tank! Do not fill it above the MAX mark.

3. Insert the filter holder. One of the two handles must be on the right hand side and the other on the left. Push the filter holder down until it snaps in.

4. Turn over the lower fold of the paper filter (size 1 x 4) and place it in the filter funnel. Then fill it with coffee powder.
   NOTE:
   Do not put too much coffee powder into the filter to avoid spillage.

5. Now close the lid of the water tank. It must snap into place.

6. Place the lid on the pot. The button on the lid must face the handle. Note the recesses on the opening of the pot and the latching lugs on the lid. The lid must snap in.

7. Place the pot onto the storage surface.
   CAUTION: Drip stop
   Your appliance comes with a drip stop. It closes when removing the coffee pot. This prevents the coffee from dripping onto the warming plate if there is still water in the filter.

   • Ensure that the lid is attached to the coffee pot. It opens the drip stop.
   • If there is still water in the tank, place the pot un-derneath as soon as possible. Otherwise the filter might overflow.

After the Brewing Process

• When no more coffee is flowing through the filter you can remove the pot.
• Press the button on the lid, if you wish to pour coffee from the pot.

NOTE:
The filter holder can be removed from the coffee machine by using its handles on the right and left side.
This makes it easier to dispose of the old coffee filter, for example.
WARNING:
If you would like to prepare another pot of coffee right away, wait about 5 minutes after the brewing process has been completed. Allow the appliance to cool down, with its water tank open, to prevent hot splashes of water when filling up the water. If the appliance is still too hot, a thermostat prevents it from being switched on again immediately.
