•Open the door by pulling the handle (fig. 1) and by using the jug pour fresh water into the water compartment up to the level corresponding to the number of cups you want to make. Check the water level viewer. It is recommended to use the provided carafe as the measure, as the maximum volume of the carafe corresponds to that of the water tank (fig. 2).

•Place the permanent filter in the filter holder (if provided) of the paper filter in the filter holder (fig. 3).

•Place the ground coffee in the filter, using the measuring spoon supplied, and level evenly (fig. 4). As a general rule, use a level measuring spoon of ground coffee (around 7 grams) for each cup (for example, 8 spoons to make 8 cups). Never exceed the maximum quantity of 12 measures (models with glass jug) or 10 measures (models with thermal jug) to avoid the coffee spilling. The quantity of ground coffee used can vary according to personal taste. Use good quality medium ground coffee packaged for filter coffee makers.

•Close the lid and place the jug on the plate (fig. 5).

Models with thermal jug: Before placing the jug on the plate, make sure the lid is closed (fig. 6).

•Models with electronic control panel: you can enhance the flavor of your coffee by pressing the AROMA button.

This feature activates a unique brewing process, slowly releasing water into the filter basket; saturating coffee grounds a little at a time, extracting the best flavor and aroma from your coffee.

To activate, press the AROMA button; the light above the button will illuminate. Press the button again to turn the selection off. It is recommended to use the AROMA function if not brewing a whole carafe of coffee.

Press the ON/AUTO/OFF button (fig. 7). The red light indicates that the coffee maker is in operation and the display shows “BREW”.

•Models with single switch: Press the "ON/OFF" switch (fig. 8). The light on the button comes on to indicate that the drip coffee maker is operating.
