Before using the coffeemaker for the first time, or after a
long time of not using it, operate the appliance one
brewing cycle with the maximum amount of cold, fresh
water without filling the filter with ground coffee.
1. Making coffee
Fill in fresh water, insert a No. 4 paper filter, fill in ground
coffee, put the carafe on the hotplate and switch on the
appliance. A drip-stop prevents dripping when the
carafe is removed to pour a cup before brewing is
finished. Carafe should be immediately returned to
hotplate to prevent the filter basket from overflowing.
Brewing time per cup: approx. 1 minute.
N.B.:
Please make sure that the filter basket is properly
engaged and the lid is firmly closed. Do not open the
lid during brewing.
Use the water level indicator (B) as reference for the
required amount of fresh water. The printing on the
carafe shows the quantity of brewed coffee.

Always unplug the appliance before cleaning. Never
clean the appliance under running water, nor immerse it
in water; only clean it with a damp cloth. All removable

3. Decalcifying (without illustrations)
If your coffeemaker over time begins to take much
longer than normal to brew, the appliance has to be
decalcified.
You can use a commercially available coffeemaker
decalcifying agent.
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 cleanse the coffeemaker.
