Note: If the power supply is interrupted or the plug is pulled out of the socket, the clock will run for a fur- ther 15 minutes. All programmed function are also stored for 15 minutes.

Filling with coffee grounds

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

Put coffee grounds (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.

Filling with water

Important: 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 indica- tor 2 will not function correctly and the carafe may overflow.

Fill the water container with as much cold water as coffee is required. To do this, lift the cover for the water container 6 and pour the cold water into the water container 3. The amount of water is shown on the water level indicator 2 (maximum 12 cups – 125 ml each).

Space compensator

The space compensator 4 in the water container 3 takes up the space which is intended for the water filter cartridge D. Unless the water filter cartridge is installed in the water container, the space compen- sator must always be inside the water container when filling with water and brewing to avoid overfil- ling. Keep the space compensator as it has to be installed in the water container if you have to decal- cify your coffeemaker.

Water filter cartridge

The water filter cartridge D is suitable for drinking- water only. It gives your purer tasting coffee by removing chlrorine, bad tastes and odors as well as scale. Provided the cartridge is regularly replaced, it provides not only better tasting coffee, but also can increase the life of your coffeemaker by prevent- ing calcification.

Installing the water filter cartridge

Unpack the water filter cartridge D. Then put the fil- ter cartridge for 10 minutes in a receptable filled with water.

Remove the space compensator 4 from the water container and replace it by the water filter cartridge D. Make sure to keep the space compensator

as it could be needed if you do not use the water filter any longer at a future point in time or for decalcification.

After having installed a new water filter cartridge, allow the maximum amount of fresh, cold water to run through the coffeemaker.

In order to ensure the proper functioning of the filter cartridge, exchange it after 2 months of regularly using the coffeemaker. In order to remind you to replace the filter in time, you may set the dial d incorporated in the cover of the water container to the month when the cartridge has to be exchanged.

Dial for water filter exchange

After having installed a new filter cartridge, set the dial d 2 months furhter by turning it from the reverse side of the water container cover.

Pre-selecting the taste – AromaSelect dial

By adjusting the AromaSelect dial 5, you can adjust the taste of your coffee to suit your personal prefer- ence – milder with less bitter aftertaste or stronger, but always with the same full flavour. The Aroma- Select dial 5 can be adjusted in two different ways, both before you turn on the coffeemaker. With the water container lid closed, grasp the dial by the two raised grip points and turn in the desired direction. Alternatively, with the water container lid open, turn the dial with the attached L-shaped grip.

If you prefer milder coffee with less bitter aftertaste, turn the AromaSelect dial 5 in the direction of the Filling with coffee grounds symbol (b). Should you prefer a more stronger taste, turn the AromaSelect dial towards the Manual background symbol. Regardless of the position you select, the coffee will always have the same full coffee flavour only a milder or stronger aftertaste. With the cover of the water container closed, the selected setting can always be seen (c).

When the brewing process begins, the green control lamp r goes off and the control lamp u lights up red to indicate that brewing has begun.

If, for instance, you want to make coffee at the same time on the following day, you must activate the automatic operation again (see above). However, this should only be done after brewing is finished or the programmed time for the hotplate switch-off (when none of the control lamps are on), as you could otherwise interrupt brewing or switch off the hotplate 9.

Making coffee

Place the carafe with the lid on onto the hotplate 9 and snap the filter holder 8 in place. Switch the coffeemaker on as described. Brewing time is approx. 50 seconds per cup (including dripping).

A «drip stop» prevents dripping when lifting off the Carafe shortly. Remove the filter holder 8 to empty grounds (see section «Cleaning»).

Switch the coffeemaker on with the «on/off» button t. The control lamp u lights up red.

Press the button «1 - 3 Manual background » q. The yellow control lamp p lights up.

This indicates that the function for brewing small amounts is activated and the coffeemaker is in operation. Brewing will begin.

The facility for brewing small amounts can be pre-set in the automatic operation mode. Press briefly the «automatic» button s. The control lamp r lights up green. Then press the button «1 - 3 Manual background » q and the yellow control lamp p ligts up.

The coffeemaker will only brew small amounts of coffee in this mode if both the «1 - 3 cups» facility and the timing are pre-set.

This function can be switched on or off during the brewing process. To switch off the function for small amounts, press the button «1 - 3 Manual background » q. The yellow control lamp p will go off.

Audio-visual «coffee ready» signal

The signal indicates that brewing is finished and the water has run through the filter. The coffeemaker beeps 5 times and the control lamp u changes from red to green. To switch off the coffeemaker

manually, press the «on/off» button t. The control lamp u lights up red briefly and all control lamps then go off.

Ajustable heating temperature

The heating temperature can be adjusted approxi- mately 5 °C using the knob «–temp.+» l. To reduce the temperature, turn the knob anti-clockwise. To increase the temperature, turn the knob clockwise.

Keeping the coffee hot

The carafe can remain on the hotplate 9 which begins to heat up when the coffeemaker is switched on and will keep the coffee hot until the coffeemaker is switched off (red control lamp goes out).

Automatic hotplate switch-off

The temperature sensor j in the hotplate 9 regu- lates the temperature of the coffee irrespective of the amount in the jug. The coffeemaker can be set to stay hot after brewing for up to 4 hours. Press the «on/off» button t until the control lamp u begins to flash red and the heating time appears on the display m. Release the «on/off» button t and set the desired heating time with the buttons «h» n and «min» o from 3 hours 59 minutes to 0 hour 00 minutes. When the control lamp u shining red goes off, the pre-set heating time is stored in the memory and the display shows the time of day again.

After the brewing process, the control lamp u lights up green until the coffeemaker is automatically switched off at the end of the heating time. A double beep can be heard and all control lamps go off.

Cleaning

Always pull the plug out of the socket before clean- ing (all programmed functions are stored for approxi- mately 15 minutes). The appliance should never be immersed into water. Swing out the filter holder 8 and pull it off upwards from the filter support bracket

7(e). To replace, set the curved protruding rim of the filter holder 8 on top of support bracket 7. Be sure that the rib under the rim of the filter holder 8 fits snugly into the groove on the support bracket 7 so that the filter holder 8 fits nearly into place and so the filter holder closes easily into the machine.

To wash, take the lid off the carafe (d). The carafe, lid and filter holder can be cleaned in the dishwasher. All other parts should be cleaned will a damp cloth only. After cleaning, put the lid back on the carafe

(d). Clean the hotplate 9 with liquid cleansers only. Do not use abrasive cleansers. The filter support bracket 7 can be taken off for cleaning. Swing it out, push it up and pull it off diagonally downwards (f). To replace, insert the top first.
