coffee.

off automatically approx. 2 hours 
after brewing is completed.
Using the timer
To use the automatic timer function,

required	are	set	correctly	(see	"Setting	
the clock/-timer").
• Press the "PRO" button twice, and
check that the start time is correct.
• Press the "AUTO" button (b)
to activate the timer. The timer 
indicator (d) will go green. This 
means the timer is activated.
• When the start time arrives, the
green light will go out and the 
red start/stop indicator light will

The appliance has an anti-drip valve 
which allows you to remove the glass 
pot during brewing to pour a cup of 
coffee. When the pot is removed, the 
valve closes, keeping the coffee in the 
filter	holder	until	it	is	replaced	on	the	
hot plate again.
NOTE:	To	stop	the	coffee	in	the	filter	
holder from running over, always 
return the pot to the appliance as 
quickly as possible. Do not remove the 
pot from the appliance for more than 
half a minute.
CLEANING
•	 Before	cleaning,	remove	the	plug	
from the wall socket and allow to 
cool down.
• The filter holder and glass pot can
be washed using normal washing-
up liquid.
• The best way to clean the coffee
maker itself is to wipe it with a 
damp cloth using hot water and a 
little washing-up liquid. 
• Do not use any kind of strong or
abrasive cleaning agent on the 
appliance	or	its	accessories.	Never	
use a scouring sponge or similar 
to clean it, as the surface may be 
damaged.
• NOTE: The device must not be
submerged in any form of liquid.
DESCALING
The lime content of ordinary tap water 
means limescale may gradually be 
deposited inside. This limescale may 
be	loosened	using	acetic	acid	(NOT	
ordinary vinegar) or descaler, available 
in supermarkets, etc.
1. Mix 100 ml acetic acid with
300 ml cold water, or follow the 
instructions on the descaler 
packaging.
2. Pour the solution into the reservoir
and start the appliance at the 
start/stop button.
3. Allow half of the solution to run
through the coffee maker, and then 
switch it off for approximately 10 
minutes.
4. When the 10 minutes are up,
switch the appliance on again and 
allow the remainder of the solution 
to run through it.
5. To remove the final residues of
limescale and acetic acid, pour a 
potful of cold water into the water 
reservoir, switch on and allow the 
water to pass through.
6. Pass fresh water through the
machine 3 times (as described in 
point 5).
7. The appliance now ready for use.
