Coffee preparation

1. Remove the lid and fill the storage box with roasted coffee beans or ground coffee. The amount depends on the number of cups to be prepared and your personal taste.
   Warning: Prevent the coffee beans or ground coffee from falling into the water supply hole.

2. Put the lid back on.

3. Open the tank lid pour in clean and cold water. When filling, always observe the maximum level line. Never overfill the tank.

7. Press the button to switch the coffee maker on.

8. Press the button repeatedly to select preparation from coffee beans of ground coffee:
   : select to make coffee from coffee beans, 1 to 2 cups;
   : select to make coffee from coffee beans, 3 to 4 cups;
   : select to make coffee from ground coffee.

9. Press START and the coffee maker will start making coffee.

10. If you selected preparation from coffee beans, the coffee maker will grind the beans first. If you selected making 1 to 2 cups of coffee, the grinding time will be about 25 seconds; if you selected making 3 to 4 cups of coffee, the grinding time will be about 28 seconds.

11. The coffee preparation will start. The icon will be flashing on display while the coffee making is in progress.

12. The coffee maker will remain in operation as long as there is water in tank.

13. When the coffee preparation is finished, three short beeps will sound. The icon will light up on display. After that, the display backlight goes out and only the button will remain under lit. This is indicates that the coffee maker has been switched into the coffee temperature keeping mode. The coffee make hot plate will keep the coffee in the kettle warm.

14. The coffee temperature keeping mode will remain active for 30 minutes. The coffee maker switches off and enters standby mode then. The icon will go out on display.

15. The coffee kettle can be removed from the coffee maker at any time during the brewing process and during the coffee temperature keeping mode. The anti-drip valve prevents the coffee from dripping onto the hot plate. Once the coffee is poured into the cups, put the kettle back into the coffee maker. While the coffee brewing is in progress, we recommend to put the kettle back within 30 seconds to avoid the coffee overflow inside the dispensing chamber.

Note: The pump sound will be heard during the coffee brewing. This is a normal sign.
Warning: Do not remove the storage box bin during the coffee brewing. Avoid the lid contacting the steam at the steam outlet. High temperature steam may be escaping at this point. There is a risk of serious scalding!
Warning: Do not touch the hot plate during the coffee brewing or coffee temperature keeping mode. There is a risk of serious burning as the hot plate is being heated to a high temperature.
Note: The coffee maker will store the last coffee preparation setting in memory. Before starting the coffee maker, please check its settings and change the preparation from coffee beans to ground coffee or vice versa as needed. The setting will be cancelled as soon as the power cord is unplugged from the mains outlet.

Coffee temperature keeping mode

• The coffee temperature keeping mode is active for 30 minutes after the coffee brewing process is finished.
• During this time, the icon will light on display.
• In the coffee temperature keeping mode, the coffee maker will switch on in regular intervals. A short switching may be heard. This is a normal sign. The temperature sensor detects the hot plate temperature and if the temperature drops, it will switch the coffee maker on to balance the temperature.
• After 30 minutes, 3 short beeps will sound and the coffee maker will switch off. The button will go out and the icon will disappear on display.
• If you need to end the coffee temperature keeping mode, use the button to switch the coffee maker off or set another coffee brewing cycle.

Automatic start
The automatic start feature allows you to set the time when the coffee maker is to be switched on and start the coffee brewing. It’s important for you to set the clock correctly, otherwise this feature won’t work properly.

Storage

• Before storing, clean the coffee maker according to the instructions above.
• Store the coffee maker in its original box or other packaging in a dry and shady place out of reach of children and pets.

Descaling

• The coffee maker must be descaled regularly to remove mineral deposits and limescale that can form in the coffee maker internal circuit through use. These can affect the coffee maker operation and impair the quality and taste of the brewed coffee.

• For descaling, use commercially available descaling agents that are specifically designed for drip coffee makers.

• The descaling frequency depends on the hardness of the water used to make the coffee. If you use soft water, descale the coffee maker at least once every three months; if you use hard water, descale the coffee maker at least once a month. If you use mains water, check with your water supplier if you are unsure of its hardness.

• Carry out the descaling process if the coffee maker is noisier than usual when making coffee, if the brewing time is longer than usual, or if the coffee maker stops brewing before the water tank is empty.

• To carry out the descaling, proceed as follows:

  1. Dissolve the descaling solution in a bowl. Follow the instructions on the descaling agent package label.

  2. Pour the descaling agent in the tank up to the maximum level mark.
     Note: If you are using solid descaling agent, make sure that it’s completely dissolved before pouring it into the tank.

  3. Press the button to switch the coffee maker on.

  4. Press the button to select preparation from ground coffee.

  5. Press START to let the coffee maker empty the tank.

  6. Pour out water in the kettle and put the kettle back in the coffee maker.

  7. Repeat steps 1 to 5 with a new descaling agent. Not not reuse descaling agent.

  8. Then fill the tank with clean water and start the coffee maker to flush its internal system and remove any residues of descaler, mineral deposits and limescale.

  9. Pour out water in the kettle and put the kettle back in the coffee maker.

  10. Fill the tank with clean water again and start the coffee maker to flush its internal system and remove any residues of descaler, mineral deposits and limescale.

Warning: Do not interrupt the descaling process. Always allow the coffee maker to finish the entire descaling process.
