Low water indicator J
This coffee machine senses if the water
volume in the water tank is low (less than
approx� 4 cups)�
If the water level is low, J lights up and
the machine automatically increases the
brewing time� This ensures that the coffee
retains its ideal flavour.

keeping dairy products or baby food warm,
because bacteria may form� Do not heat

sealing itself shut, it was designed to not
close hermetically� Since the thermos carafe
may leak, you should always store and
transport it in an upright position�

8 cups�

opened with the release switch 19�

Coffee-making tips
Store ground coffee in a cool place; you

How the coffee beans are roasted affects
their taste and aroma�
Darker roast = more flavour
Lighter roast = more acidity
