Cleaning and maintenance, Activating the timer

•The coffee will start to come out after a few seconds. It is completely normal for the appliance to release a little steam while the coffee is filtering.

•Models with glass jug: If you leave the ON/OFF button pressed after percolation has finished, the plate will keep the coffee at the ideal temperature. The unit automatically shuts off after two hours.

•Models with thermal jug: To pour the coffee, turn the lid to the position shown in (fig. 9). To completely remove the lid from the jug, turn it to the position shown in (fig. 10).

The appliance switches automatically off after brewing cycle.

Attention: Removing the jug before all the coffee is made does not interrupt production of the coffee, but merely blocks flow into the jug. If you want to pour out a little coffee immediately, you are recommended to do so as rapidly as possible in order to avoid the coffee overflowing in the filter holder.

control panel only)
