power outlet and turn the power on.
• Fill the water reservoir (1) (2) (3) (4) (5)
with cold water and start the appliance (6).
• Put the filter handle and an empty filter
in place (7) (8) (9), and place cups
underneath the filter handle.
• When the machine is ready, the orange
‘Warm Up’ light goes off, turn the
operating dial to
setting (11).
• When the cups are full of hot water, return
the operating dial to the 'off' position.
Note: Once the appliance has been on
for a while, coffee cups can be warmed
by placing them upside down on the cup
