Initial Operation of the Device

  1. Remove all packaging and transportation safety devices from the device that may be present.

Operation

NOTE: You can prepare a half or a full thermal stainless steel cup.

  1. Fold open the water tank lid.

    CAUTION: Do not overfill the tank! Do not fill above the marks for the maximum quantity of water.

  3. Fill coffee powder into the permanent filter.

    NOTE:

    • The power indicator lamp lights up.

      CAUTION: The slider is not a non-drip, leak-proof seal!
  6. Turn the device off. The control lamp goes out.
    WARNING: If you would like to make another cup of coffee immediately, switch the device off. Allow it to cool down with the water tank open to prevent hot water from splashing out when the machine is refilled.
