Preparing the appliance for first use
Notes

- Before each rinsing process switch off the appliance using the on/off button and leave it to cool down for 5 minutes.
- Run the rinsing process twice using 6 cups of water without adding vinegar.
General information
- Observe the water level indicator on the water tank. Fill the water tank to at least the bottom marking line and no more than the top marking line.
- To attain an adequate coffee temperature and the full aroma, do not brew less than 3 cups of coffee. A cup is approx. 125 ml.
- Add approx. 6 g medium-ground coffee for each cup.
- Store ground coffee in a cool place or freeze.
- Once a pack of coffee has been opened, always close it tightly to preserve the aroma.
- How coffee beans are roasted affects their flavour and aroma.
- Darker roast = more flavour
- Lighter roast = more acidity
- Condensation may form on the filter housing for technical reasons.
Brewing coffee
Follow the illustrated instructions.

Your appliance is equipped with an automatic switch-off function that switches
the appliance off after a certain period of time. Models with a thermos jug
switch off a few minutes after the end of brewing. Models with a glass jug
keep the coffee hot for approx. 40 minutes and then switch off.
The on/off button lights up red until the cof-fee machine switches off
automatically.
Thermos jug
The thermos jug has a capacity of around 8 cups.
Notes

- Do not keep or transport carbonated drinks in the thermos jug.
- If you rinse the thermos jug with hot water before use, the coffee will stay hot for longer.
