Cable compartment (Figure 3)
Your coffee machine has a cable com-
partment. If the mains lead is too long,
you can push cable that is not needed
into the compartment on the rear of
the appliance.
Prior to using for the first time
Prior to preparing coffee for the first
time, you should perform one or two
brews with water only.
Fill the fresh water container up to the
top cup marking with cold water, and
with the appliance switched on, allow
the water to flow through into the
coffee jug without using ground coffee
or filter paper. To do this, press the On/
Off button
.
Preparation
1 Inserting the carbon filter
Remove the carbon filter from the
plastic packaging and rinse it thor-
oughly under running water.
Open the lid of the water tank
(Figure 1/A).
Remove the container (Figure 4).
Insert the carbon filter in the filter
holder (Figure 5).
Insert the filter holder in the container
so that the marking arrows on the fil-
ter holder and the container are posi-
tioned opposite one another. Turn the
filter holder clockwise (Figure 6).
Close the lid of the water tank.
The tap water will be filtered during
the brewing procedure. Please note
that the carbon filter must be
changed either after 60 brewing
procedures or after 2 months
(whichever is the sooner) so as to
maintain the effectiveness of the
filter. The old carbon filter cannot be
cleaned, and must be replaced with a
new one.
Filter control
The unit has an automatic filter con-
trol.
Switch the appliance on using the On/
Off button
. The green indicator
next to the button (Figure 2/K) is
illuminated. After 60 brewing proce-
dures, or at the latest after 2 months,
the green indicator will start to flash.
It is then time to change the carbon
filter. Afterwards, press button
(Figure 2/K) for longer than 3 seconds.
The indicator will be illuminated as
usual.
3 Briefly press button if you want to
use the appliance without a carbon fil-
ter. The green indicator will go out.
2 Filling with water (Figure 7)
Raise the lid of the fresh water tank
(Figure 1/A). Fill the container with
clear, cold tap water. You will find cup
markings on the coffee jug for measur-
ing out the required quantity.
The markings apply to the quantity of
fresh water. As the ground coffee
absorbs water, the amount of coffee
produced will be less.
Never use hot water.
Nor should you fill the fresh water
container with milk, prepared coffee,
tea etc.
