6Plug in and switch on.

7Don’t remove the carafe until brewing has finished. When the carafe is empty, switch off and unplug the appliance.

The hot plate will keep your coffee hot, but the sooner you drink it, the better it will taste.

If you have not used the appliance for a while, run one full tank of water (without coffee) through to clean it out.

tips

The Water ~ Your coffee is around 98-99% water so it’s impor- tant to ensure you use fresh filtered water. We recom- mend using filtered water as it will reduce limescale and prolong the use of your coffee maker.

The Coffee ~ This machine will optimize the flavor of medium ground coffee, to deliver full body, aroma and taste. Be sure before you buy that the coffee is suitable for a filter machine. Or if you grind your own beans set the grinder to medium coarseness. If the particles are too small, water will pass through the filter too slowly resulting in ‘over-extraction’; your coffee will taste bitter. If particles are too large, water will pass through too quickly resul- ting in ‘under-extraction’; your coffee will taste weak and watery.

The Measurements ~ To brew a perfectly balanced cup we re- commend to use 1 measuring spoon of ground coffee per cup. Use the measuring spoon provided to do this accu- rately. Coffee will taste better when fresh so we recom- mend drinking within 30 minutes of brewing, any longer and taste begins to deteriorate.

The Maintenance ~ Use paper filters or a permanent filter ei- ther type is suitable to produce great coffee. We recom- mend that you rinse your permanent filter with water after every use as any residual detergent could taint your

en

coffee. Dispose of the used grounds immediately after use to prevent drip through of unwanted flavors trapped in the used coffee grounds. Try to keep your coffee ma- chine clean, especially the shower head as this will help to prolong your machine and maintain perfect brewing.
