CHLORINE FILTER
This filter removes the taste of chlorine from the water. Install as follows:
•Remove the chlorine filter from its plastic bag and rinse under the tap.
•Raise the coffee lid and lift out the filter holder (fig. 1).
•Open the holder by pushing where indicated PUSH and fit the filter carefully as shown in fig. 2.
•Close the holder and replace by pushing down well.
•After 80 cycles or six months operation, the chlorine filter must be changed. The filter is of vegetable origin and can therefore be discarded with normal household rubbish.
PREPARING THE COFFEE
•Fill the carafe with cold water up to the level (marked on the carafe) which corresponds to the number of cups of coffee required (fig. 3).
Warning: never exceed the 10 cup line to avoid water leaking from the machine's rear slots.
•Pour the water into the tank (fig. 4). (The amount of coffee obtained will be slightly less than the amount of water poured into the tank because some of the water remains in the coffee powder and some is lost in steam).
•Place the carafe on the hotplate (S) making sure the lid is on. The perforations in the lid serve to preserve the coffee's aroma, which is why the lid should be raised on the handle side in order for it to be opened. (fig.3)
•Put the coffee in the filter by using the measuring spoon supplied and level it off uniformly (fig. 5). As a general rule, use a level measure of coffee (approx. 7 gr.) for each cup required (e.g. 10 measures to obtain 10 cups). However, the amount of coffee to be used can vary according to personal taste.
•Use good quality medium ground coffee specially for coffee percolators.
•Close the lid and press the "coffee" switch (fig. 6). The red "ON" light on the left of the switch shows that the machine is working. The coffee will begin to brew after a few seconds and will finish doing so at the sound of the characteristic gurgle which means the process has finished.
It is entirely normal for the machine to emit steam during the coffee percolating or for a few drops of condensation to form around the lid. By leaving the "coffee" switch pressed after brewing, the hotplate (S) will keep the coffee in the carafe at just the right hot temperature.
