7.5 Quick-Start
If the appliance is pre-programmed
using the “Auto” function (the green
indicator for the
button is illumi-
nated to indicate “Program activated”),
but you would like some coffee before
the start time, press the
button
(Figure 2/B). The red indicator
(Figure 2/B) will be illuminated and
the green indicator (Figure 2/J) for
“Program activated” will go off.
Grinding and brewing will begin
at once.
7.6 Deactivating the “Auto”
function
If you have activated the “Auto” func-
tion but do not want the programme
to start, simply press the
button
(Figure 2/J). The green indicator will go
off.
7.7 Switching off
Switch the appliance off with the
button (Figure 2/B).
8 Warming plate (Figure 1/D)
After brewing the warming plate keeps
the coffee in the glass jug warm. Two
hours after brewing the appliance
switches off automatically.
9 Removing the jug (Figure 15)
When the jug is removed, the anti-drip
valve prevents dripping.
10 Cleaning
(It is imperative that these
instructions are observed!)
10.1 Coffee grinder
(Figures 14, 17-19)
From time to time (at the latest when a
blockage occurs), it is necessary to
clean the grinder channel to free it
from oily coffee residues.
To do this, proceed as follows: Remove
the plug from the mains.
Open the lid of the fresh water con-
tainer and turn the screw (e.g., with a
coin) on the cover of the grinder chan-
nel to “Open” (Figure 17). Take hold of
the cover of the grinder channel at the
front left and remove it slowly
(Figure 18). Insert a paper filter in the
swivel filter and move the swivel filter
until it clicks into the grinding posi-
tion. Brush the coffee residue (includ-
ing that from the rear of the channel)
into the paper filter using a suitable
item (e.g., paintbrush) (Figure 19). The
coffee residue can also be removed
using a vacuum cleaner.
Then wipe the grinding channel with a
dry cloth. Press the release button to
move the swivel filter back into the
brewing position (Figure 14). Empty
the paper filter, replace the cover and
turn the screw back to the “Close”
position. Check that the cover is cor-
rectly positioned. Your coffee machine
is now fully ready for use again.
If dark, oily coffee beans are used, the
grinding channel needs to be cleaned
more often than for light beans.
To avoid blockages in the grinding
channel:
• Do not use frozen coffee beans, as
water condenses on them on defrost-
ing and can lead to blockages.
• Do not swivel the swivel filter back to
the grinding position immediately
after brewing as steam rising from the
coffee grounds can cause a blockage.
• Position the appliance sufficiently far
away from the cooker or a deep fat
fryer as fat can cause a blockage.
• Always keep the container for the cof-
fee beans closed.
Every now and again clean the coffee
grinder (Figure 1/L ) of oily residues
from the coffee beans using a dry
cloth.
10.2 Coffee part (Figure 16/A
and B)
The filter insert can be removed for
emptying and cleaning.
Remove the glass jug and raise the
lid of the fresh water container
(Figure 1/A), place your finger in the
rear handle recess (Figure 16/A) and
pull the bracket up. This unlocks the
filter insert and it can be removed for
