IIMaking coffee

Fill the tank with fresh cold water, press the swing-filter push button G to open the filter basket, insert a No. 4 paper filter, add ground coffee, close the filter basket, and place the carafe on the hotplate. Switch on the coffeemaker (manual or automatic 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 drip-stop feature prevents dripping when the carafe is removed to pour a cup before brewing is finished. The carafe should be immediately returned to the hotplate to prevent the filter basket from overflowing.

Brewing time per cup: approximately one minute. The 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.

This coffeemaker features a stainless steel filter basket

Hthat should only be cleaned with a damp cloth.

You may use dishwashing liquid. Do not use abrasive cleaners, nor clean it in a dishwasher.

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 the water filter with the space com- pensator during any decalcification procedure.

•You can use a commercially available decalcifying agent not affecting aluminium.

•Follow the instructions of the manufacturer of the decalcifying agent.

•Repeat the 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.

Best practices for best results

This coffeemaker is designed to deliver maximum coffee aroma. Therefore, Braun recommends:

•Use only fresh ground coffee.

•Store ground coffee in a cool, dry and dark place (e.g., refrigerator) in an airtight container.

•Use only Braun water filters and exchange every two months with regular use.

•Clean and decalcify the coffeemaker regularly as described in parts III and IV.
