ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Check that the voltage where you shall use the unit is the same as that specified on the unit. Details can be found on the label on the unit’s base plate.
WHEN USING THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME
Please run 1.25L fresh water through the unit without using a coffee filter or coffee prior to using the unit for the first time.

OPERATION

•  Place the Wilfa Performance on a flat surface. Plug the power cord into the socket.
• Turn the on/off power switch on. Start button will blink twice and one beep will be heard.
• Fill the water tank with fresh water to the desired amount. Place a filter paper (1×4) in the filter holder. Place the recommended amount of coffee into the filter.
• We recommend that you use filter ground coffee, 60 g per litre of water. Experiment with the coffee quantities for the first few brewing’s to find the amount which you think is optimal.
• We also recommend that you use a Wilfa scale for best results.
• Attach the filter holder to the bracket. Set the flow control in relation to your desired brew preference.
• We recommend the following ratios of water and coffee (please note that different grinds and coffee types will influence these ratios somewhat):
  • 1,25 l – 75 g
  • 1 l – 60 g
  • 0,75 l – 45 g
  • 0,50 l – 30 g
•  Press the start button to start the brewing process. Wilfa Performance has Wilfa’s unique pump system which transports water through the system at an optimal temperature from the first to the last drop.
• When the brewing process is complete, the unit will switch over to the keep warm state. The start button will remain lit up. After 40 minutes the coffee maker will automatically be switched off. If you want to switch off the coffee maker before 40 minutes (with light in start button) just press the start button once and the coffee maker will be switched off.
• By setting the flow control to the right, it will act as a drip stop.

TIPS

•  Rinse the coffee filter in water to remove any unwanted taste prior to brewing.
• Always use fresh coffee. You will obtain the best results if the coffee you use is freshly ground. Grounded coffee loose many of its aromas just after a few minutes and by grinding the coffee yourself just before you brew, you keep all the good aromas for the best coffee taste.
• You can use one of Wilfa’s coffee grinders suitable for grinding filter coffee. Using dif-ferent degrees of grinding will affect the coffee’s strength and taste.
• The enclosed filter holder has a manual drip stop. Wilfa does not recommend serving coffee before the filter process is completed, since this will diminish the final coffee result.
• If even hotter coffee is desired, the glass jug should be rinsed with hot water prior to brewing. This is especially recommended if you are making 0.5 litres of coffee or less.
• If the coffee maker has not been used for a while it is recommended to run clean water through the unit prior to use.
•  Coffee residue will always stay on parts in contact with the coffee. For optimal coffee taste, you should clean the filter holder, jug and jug lid regularly.
•  Do not use the coffee jug to fill the water tank with fresh water as coffee residues will influence on the quality of the brewed coffee.

CLEANING INDICATOR
The light on the start button will slowly pulsate when you start the 180th brewing process. The coffee machine indicates that it is time for cleaning, and you should then clean the unit. The button will pulsate for three brewing cycles before the counter automatically resets.
