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 it for the first time, or when the coffee- maker has not been used for some time, fill the water container 3 to the maximum level with cold water (i.e. without coffee and without a filter). Turn on

the coffeemaker and allow the water to flow through. 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 container which might cause scalding.

Maximum cups

8 cups (125 ml each)

Thermal carafe

The flask of the thermal carafe is made of double walled, vacuum glass material. Streaks in the glass which sometimes look like faults or cracks do not have any influence on the use of the flask. However, this material is very fragile. Always check for damage

if you knock or drop the carafe. lf the flask should be damaged in any way, please have it repaired at your Braun Customer Service. Replacement carafes are available at your dealer or at the Braun Service Centre.

It is important to avoid sudden and extreme differences in temperature. Never fill ice cubes in the thermal carafe. Never submerge the carafe in water, nor put it in a dishwasher.

Do not place the carafe on a hotplate or other heat sources as this would damage the plastic base part of the carafe. Both, the base of the carafe and the stand to put the carafe on will get warm during brewing.

Do not use the thermal carafe in the microwave oven.

In order to make best use of the heat-retention properties of the thermal carafe it is essential to prewarm it. This can be done by rinsing the thermal carafe with hot water.

To open the lid of the thermal carafe turn the grip clockwise until the arrow on the lid matches the arrow on the carafe (f) and take it off. In order to close the lid again, make sure to engage it exactly in this position (f) and then turn it anti-clockwise until the arrow matches the point marking (g). During brewing the coffee runs through a special opening of the closed lid. lf you want to pour out coffee after brewing is finished, give the lid a further turn anti- clockwise until the arrow matches the cup Symbol

(h). After pouring out, always turn the lid back to the point marking in order to close the carafe. Keep the carafe upright all times.

Filling with water

lmportant: When filling with water and during coffee preparation either the space compensator 4 or the water filter cartridge D must be installed in the water container 3. Otherwise the water level indicator 2 will not function correctly and the carafe may over- flow.

To fill in water, lift the cover of the water container 6 and pour in cold water (max. = arrow marking in the water container). The amount of water is shown on the water level indicator 2

Filling with coffee

Swing out the filter holder 8 (a) and insert the filter.

Put coffee (not ground too finely) into the filter and close the filter holder again (a) until it snaps in place. Measure coffee according to the strength desired.

Pre-selecting the taste – ArormaSelect dial

By turning the AromaSelect dial 5 before brewing, you can adjust the taste of your coffee to suit your personal preference – milder with less bitter aftertaste or stronger, but always with the same full flavour.
