Notes for Use

Placement

• Place the automatic coffee maker on a stable and level surface. Place the appliance in such way that it cannot tip over.
• Do not place the appliance in close proximity to a gas or electric stove or any other heat source.

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 Directive) incorporates measurements for energy saving. The following applies to coffee makers: The keep-warm period is limited to max. 40 minutes after which the appliance turns off automatically. You benefit from better safety and lower energy consumption.

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.

Indicator Light
The indicator light indicates the functions.

• Light blue = the beans are being ground
• Light red = brewing operation; warming phase

Function Selector Switch

Selection of Fineness of Grinding
Whether you grind the coffee finely or coarsely depends on your preference. The type of coffee beans and the roasting process have an additional impact on the taste.

• Fill the striking mechanism with only as much coffee beans as required for one cooking process.
• We recommend one measuring spoon of coffee beans for one cup of water (100ml)

Initial Operation
Operate the appliance 2 times with clean water before brewing coffee for the first time. This removes dust, which may have collected during transport. Follow the instructions given under “Operation”.

Operation

1. Insert the nylon filter into the jug lid. Mount the nylon filter on the lid. Snap the bottom end of the nylon filter into place on the lid.
2. Open the lid of the water tank.
3. Fill cold water according to the desired amount of cups of coffee into the rear water tank. Use the jug to fill the water tank.
4. Now close the lid of the water tank.
5. Remove the cover.
6. Pour the appropriate amount of coffee beans or coffee powder directly into the opening of the striking mechanism/ coffee powder container.
7. Ensure that the permanent filter insert is inserted on the left.
8. Ensure that there are no coffee beans/coffee powder lying about the opening of the water outlet (5) before attaching the cover. Place the cover back on. It must audibly click into place.
9. Place the jug onto the warming plate.
10. Select the desired function using the function selector switch.
11. Press the START button to begin operating the appliance. The indicator light indicates the function.

The Coffee is Ready

• When no more coffee is flowing through the filter you can remove the pot.
• Turn the appliance off.
• Would you like to keep the remaining coffee warm? Leave the appliance turned on until the end of the keep-warm period. If you wish to keep the coffee warm even after the keep-warm period has finished, pour the remaining coffee into a thermal flask.
• Clean the appliance after each use! Proceed as described under “Cleaning”.

Ending Operation

• To switch off the appliance or to prematurely terminate the brewing process, set the function selector switch to the OFF position.
