brewing cycle.
Note: The “auto off” model has an auto
off (energy-saving) program that switches
the appliance off after approximately two
hours.
Important: When the brewing process

coffee has run through the ilter and into
the carafe.
Let the machine cool down for ive

Coffee-making tips
Store ground coffee in a cool place; you
can also freeze it.
Once a package of coffee has been
opened, close it tightly to maintain its
aroma.
How the coffee beans are roasted affects
their taste and aroma.
Darker roast = more lavour
Lighter roast = more acidity
Cleaning
Never immerse the device in water or place
it in the dishwasher!
Don’t steam-clean the appliance.
Unplug the appliance before cleaning it.
– Clean all parts that came into contact
with coffee after each use.
– Clean the coffee machine’s exterior
with a damp cloth; do not use strong or
abrasive cleaning agents.
– Wipe out the water tank
1; do not use a
hard brush.
– All detachable parts are dishwasher-safe.
– Never remove the glass carafe
6 while
the machine is brewing coffee since this
may cause the ilter holder
4 to overlow.
– Make sure that glass carafe’s lid is closed
when you place the carafe
6 on the
coffee machine.
– Do not use other carafes since the
special drip protector will block the coffee
from lowing into the receptacle.
– Some water accumulation on the ilter
holder
4 is normal; it does not indicate
that the coffee machine is defective.
