BISTRO

Hold the handle of the pot firmly and turn the pouring spout away from you. Only use the weight of your hand to exert gentle pressure onto the knob to push the filter straight down into the pot. (Fig. 3)

You will obtain the best results if you press down on the fil- ter rod slowly with minimal pressure. If the filter is blocked or if the filter rod cannot be pressed down easily, remove the rod from the pot, stir the coffee and then press it down again.

Caution: You could break a damaged pot by applying excess pressure, allowing hot water to gush out of the pot.

Take the filter unit apart and clean after every use. All parts are dishwasher-proof.

PREPARING TEA

Refer to the above section «FILLING THE APPLIANCE».

Take the tea filter (6) and add the required quantity of tea. Place this in the coffee/tea jug (5). Note the position in which the filter must be inserted. (Fig. 4)

Place the infusion lid (8) onto the jug/filter combination and place it onto the warming plate (4) next to the water tank (1).

Press the ON button (3).

After a few minutes, water will begin to flow through the infusion lid (8) into the jug.

The cycle ends as soon as the water tank (1) is empty. Switch off the appliance and remove the jug (5) from the warming plate (4).

Important note: Do not operate the appliance without water.

Once the tea has had enough time to infuse, lift up the infusion lid (8) and remove the tea filter (6) from the jug.

Replace the lid for tea (7) and ensure that it has locked in place correctly. (Fig. 5)

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

DESCALING THE COFFEE/TEA MAKER

Important: The appliance can become seriously damaged if you do not descale it!

Remove deposits with a conventional product for use with kitchen appliances (follow the instructions carefully) or with citric acid dissolved in half a litre of lukewarm water.

Fill the water tank with the solution and place the jug with the infusion lid at the correct position under the valve.

Allow the contents of the tank to flow fully through the appliance.

Thoroughly rinse all parts with cold water and allow a further tankful of water to flow through the appliance.
