I Setting into operation

Installing the water filter cartridge

(not included in model KF 520; may be purchased separately)

1.Unpack the water filter cartridge %.

2.Remove the space compensator ‚ from the water tank.

3.Insert the water filter cartridge. (Be certain to keep the space compensator as it must be installed in the water tank whenever the water filter cartridge is removed.)

4.The water filter should be exchanged every two

months. To remind you, set the water filter exchange dial & so that the current month is shown in the left space (start month). The month you should replace the water filter will then be shown in the right space (end month).

N.B.

Before using the coffeemaker for the first time, after a

long period of not using it, or after installing a new water

filter cartridge, run the coffeemaker through one brewing cycle using the maximum amount of cold, fresh water without any ground coffee.

II Making coffee

Fill tank with cold, fresh water, press filter push button Á to open filter basket, insert a No. 4 paper filter, put in ground coffee, place the carafe on the hotplate È and switch on the coffeemaker Í. For more convenience when filling with or disposing of ground coffee, the filter basket can be easily taken off its hinge. A drip-stop prevents dripping when the carafe is removed to pour a cup before brewing is finished. Carafe should be immediately returned to hotplate to prevent the filter basket from overflowing.

Brewing time per cup: approx. 1 minute. Amount of brewed coffee in the carafe will be below initial filling level as water is retained by ground coffee.

III Water filter

The water filter improves coffee flavor by removing chlorine, bad tastes and odors as well as scale. If the cartridge is replaced regularly (every two months), it provides not only better tasting coffee, but also can extend the life of your coffeemaker by preventing calcification. Braun water filters are available at your retailer or Braun service centre.

IV Cleaning

Always unplug the appliance before cleaning. Never clean the appliance under running water, nor immerse it in water; only clean it with a damp cloth.

The glass carafe and the filter basket are dishwasher- safe.

VDecalcifying (without illustrations)

If you have hard water and you use your coffeemaker without a water filter, it has to be decalcified regularly. When using the water filter cartridge and exchanging it regularly, you normally will not need to decalcify. How- ever, if your coffeemaker takes much longer than usual to brew, it should be decalcified.

Important: Replace water filter with the space compen- sator during any decalcification procedure.

•You can use a commercially available decalcifying agent, which does not affect aluminum.
