Keep this appliance out of children‘s reach!
Before plugging into an outlet, check whether the
line voltage (120 volt ~) corresponds to the voltage
printed on the bottom of the appliance.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug
will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
The hotplate heats up when the appliance is
switched on. Avoid touching it and never let the cord
come into contact with it.
Braun electric appliances meet applicable safety
standards. Repairs on electric appliances must only
be done by authorized service personnel. Faulty,
unqualified repair work may cause damage or seri-
ous injury to the user.
The cord of this appliance can only be changed by
an official service dealer since it requires a special

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 the first time, or when the coffeemaker
has not been used for some time, fill the tank to the
maximum number of cups with cold water and without
coffee grounds and without a filter.
Turn on and allow the water to flow through, then
discard and fill with clean water.
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 tank
which might cause scalding.
Your Braun FlavorSelect coffeemaker is designed
to use any filter size 4. However
, only Braun reusable
filters designed for the FlavorSelect series will fit
properly. Caution – other brand reusable filters may
not be properly sized to your Braun FlavorSelect cof-
feemaker.

Permanent fi
lters
Gold or gold-screen filters which may be used
instead of paper filters are available as accessories.
Please, note the following:
Your coffee grind should be medium; a very fine
grind could cause the filter to overflow.
Put the ground coffee into the center of the filter
and prepare your coffee as described.
For cleaning rinse the filter under running water.
After using it for some time, clean with a soft brush
or a soft sponge – do not use abrasive cleansers or
pads. The gold filter and the gold-screen filter can be
washed in the dishwasher.

Filling with water
Important: When filling with water and during coffee
preparation either the space compensator or the
water filter cartridge have to be installed in the
water tank . Otherwise the water level indicator
will not function correctly and the carafe may over-
flow.
