Caution
Please read the use instructions carefully and
completely before using the appliance.
Keep the appliance out of reach of children.
Before plugging into a socket, check whether your
voltage corresponds with the voltage printed on the
bottom of the appliance.
Avoid touching hot parts, especially the hotplate.
Never let the cord come in contact with the hotplate.
Do not put the carafe on other heated surfaces (such
as stove plates, hot trays, etc.).
Be careful when operating the function selector because
hot steam will escape.
Before you start preparing coffee a second time,
always allow the coffeemaker to cool down for approx.
5 minutes (switch off the appliance), otherwise steam
can develop when filling with cold water.
Braun electric appliances meet applicable safety
standards. Repairs or the replacement of the mains
cord must only be done by authorised service
personnel. Faulty, unqualified repair work may cause
accidents or injury to the user.
This appliance was constructed to process normal

A Setting into operation
When using the water filter cartridge (7) and exchanging
it regularly, you normally will not need to decalcify.
However, if your coffeemaker takes much longer
than normal to brew, the coffee section has to be
decalcified.
To install the water filter cartridge, remove the space
compensator (6) from the water container and insert the
water filter cartridge (7). (Make sure to keep the space
compensator as it has to be installed in the water
container whenever the water filter cartridge has been
removed, e.g. for decalcification).
After having installed a new filter, operate the appliance
with the maximum amount of water without coffee
grounds.
Replace the water filter cartridge with a new one after
two months of regularly using the coffeemaker.
You may set the dial (8) to the month in which the water
filter has to be exchanged.
N.B.
Before using the appliance for the first time,
after a longer time of not using it, fill both tanks (5, 9) with
water and let it run through.
B Making coffee
With this appliance you can vary the way you drink your
favourite cup of coffee. You can either prepare coffee,
cappuccino, café latte, etc. or use different types of
coffee (flavoured, blended, espresso, etc.).
Fill the large tank (5) with cold water, put a No. 4 paper
filter into the filter holder and fill
with coffee grounds.
Set the aroma selector (4) according to your preference.
If you want to brew coffee for cappuccino, set the aroma
selector to «
».
Put the carafe on the hotplate and switch on
the appliance by turning the function switch to the
«
» symbol.
Brewing time per cup: approximately 1 minute.
As long as the function switch is on position « »,
the pilot light illuminates and the hotplate heats to keep
the coffee hot.
C Frothing milk or heating up liquids
Fill the small tank (9) with water. Swing out the frothing
attachment. Hold a heat-resistant receptacle filled half-
way with milk under the frothing attachment so that the
removable jet is immersed in the milk.
However, do not immerse beyond the jet.
Turn the function switch to position «
».
