and close the filter basket. Place the carafe on the carafe stand and switch on the coffeemaker. For more convenience, when filling with or disposing of ground coffee, the filter basket can be easily taken off its hinge (e). The drip stop feature prevents dripping when the carafe is removed to pour a cup before brewing is finished. Carafe should be immediately returned to its stand to prevent the filter basket from overflowing.

Brewing time per cup: approximately one minute.

Auto-off: For your convenience and also additional safety, the appliance will switch off automatically 15 minutes after switching on.

If brewing takes longer and your coffeemaker automatically switches off, although there is still water in the water tank, it has to be decalcified (see IV).

III Cleaning

Always unplug the appliance before cleaning. Never clean the appliance under running water, nor immerse it in water.

Clean the metal surfaces of the thermal carafe and filter basket with a damp cloth only (f). 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.

Do not clean the thermal carafe in a dishwasher. Use a soft brush, hot water and small amounts of dishwashing liquid to clean the carafe inside. After cleaning, rinse it with hot water.

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 compensator during any decalcification procedure.

You can either use a commercially available decal- cifying agent which does not affect aluminum or white household vinegar (4 - 5 % acid).

a)If you are using decalcifying agent, follow the manufacturer's instructions.

b)If you are using vinegar, please proceed as follows: Fill the tank to the 6 cup level with vinegar. Do not mix the vinegar with water or any other

liquid. Turn on the coffeemaker and allow half of the vinegar to flow through. Switch off the ap- pliance and leave 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 a maximum of 8 cups of fresh cold water to run through at least twice to clean the coffeemaker after decalcification.
