Important
This appliance was constructed to process normal household quantities. Always use cold water to make coffee. Warm water or other liquids could cause damage to the coffeemaker.
Before using the first time, or when the coffeemaker has not been used for some time, fill the tank to the maximum number of cups with cold water and without coffee grounds and without a filter.
Turn on and allow the water to flow through, then discard and fill with clean water.
After a brewing cycle is finished, switch off the appliance and allow the coffeemaker to cool down for 5 minutes approximately. Otherwise steam can develop when pouring cold water into the water tank which might cause scalding.
Your Braun FlavorSelect coffeemaker is designed
to use any filter size 4. However, only Braun reusable filters designed for the FlavorSelect series will fit properly. Caution – other brand reusable filters may not be properly sized to your Braun FlavorSelect cof- feemaker.
