Before using the appliance for the first time
Before making coffee forthe first time, run the appliance once ortwice only with water
to ensure it is perfectly clean.
To dothis,fillthefresh-watercontainertothe highest marking with cold water, switch
on, and let it run through into the jug without any coffee or filter-paper in the filter.
Making coffee
1. Filling with water (Fig. 4)
Open the lid of the fresh-water tank (Fig. 1/B) and fill the tank with clear, cold water
from the tap. You can use the coffee jug to fill the required quantity. There are
markings showing the number of cups:
- inside the fresh-water tank
- on the coffee jug, and
- on the appliance’s outside water-level indicator.
The markings apply to the quantity of fresh water. The amount of coffee then
produced is less because the ground coffee absorbs water.
Close the lid of the fresh-water tank.
Never use hot water, and never pour milk, liquid coffee, tea, etc., into the fresh­
water tank.
Note concerning the lid of the fresh-water tank
In order to prevent the hinge of the fresh-water tank lid from being broken off, the lid
will come out of its hinge mounting if it is opened too far towards the rear. To fit it back
into place, lay the lid on top of the fresh-water tank and press the lid down in the area
of the hinge until it clicks into place (Fig. 10).
2. Inserting filter paper
To open the filter, reach with yourfinger-tips into the slot and swing thefilter outwards
(Fig.5). Insert a paper filter, size 4, into the filter funnel. Please fold the side and bottom
fins of the filter paper inwards first.
3. Filling the ground coffee (Fig. 6)
Please use medium-grade ground coffee. The quantity of coffee you use is a matter
of your personal taste. One measure (about 6 or 7 grammes) per cup will produce
coffee of medium strength (by German standards). Swing the filter back into its
original position until you hear it click into place.
4. Place the coffee jug with its lid on the warming plate (Fig. 7).
5. Pre-select number of cups
Before switching the appliance on, select the required number of cups by using the
aroma switch “O” (Fig. 2/C).
