Note: Your coffeemaker is equipped with a reusable, gold tone filter, which may be used instead of paper filters. Please note the following:
Your coffee should be a medium grind; a very fine grind could cause the filter basket to overflow. Scoop the ground coffee into the center of the gold tone filter and prepare your coffee as described below. To clean, rinse the gold tone filter under running water. After using the filter for some time, clean it with a soft brush or sponge – do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. The gold tone filter can be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Fill tank with fresh cold water, press filter basket push button release G to open filter basket, insert a No. 4 paper filter or the Braun gold tone filter, put in ground coffee, close the filter basket, and place the carafe on the hotplate. Switch on the coffeemaker (manual or auto- matic operation) as described above.
For greater convenience, when filling with or disposing of ground coffee, the filter basket can be easily taken off its hinge. The pause and serve feature prevents dripping when the carafe is removed to pour a cup before brewing is finished. Carafe should be immediately returned to the hotplate to prevent the filter basket from overflowing.
Brewing time per cup: approximately one minute. Amount of brewed coffee in the carafe will be below initial filling level as water is retained by ground coffee during the brewing cycle.
III Cleaning
Always unplug the appliance before cleaning. Never clean the appliance under running water, or immerse it in water; only wipe it with a damp cloth. All removable parts, except the metal filter basket (KF 590 E model only), are
KF 590 E model only:
Clean the metal surfaces of the filter basket with a damp cloth only. You may use small amounts of dishwashing liquid. Do not use steel wool pads or any abrasive cleaners. Never use any solvents such as alcohol and benzene.
IV Decalcifying
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 ordinarily will not need to decalcify.
However, if your coffeemaker takes longer than usual to brew, it should be decalcified.
Important: Replace water filter with the space compen- sator during any decalcification procedure.
•You can either use a commercially available decalcifying agent, which does not affect aluminum or distilled white vinegar (available at grocery stores).
•If you are using a decalcifying agent, follow the manufacturer's instructions.
•If you are using white vinegar, please proceed as follows:
Fill the tank to the
Switch off the appliance and leave it for 10 minutes. Switch it on again and allow the rest of the vinegar to flow through.
•Repeat either procedure as many times as necessary in order to reduce the brewing time per cup to a normal level.
•Allow the maximum amount of fresh cold water to run through at least twice to clean the coffeemaker after decalcification.
