Water filter benefits and installation
The water filter improves coffee flavor by significantly
reducing chlorine and calcification (lime scale) buildup.
Provided that the cartridge is replaced regularly (every
two months), the water filter provides better tasting
coffee and extends the life of your coffeemaker. Braun
water filter cartridges are available at your local retailer or
Braun service centers.
Installing the water filter cartridge
1. Unpack the water filter cartridge .
2. Remove the space compensator from the water
tank.
3. Insert the water filter cartridge. (Be certain to keep the
space compensator as it must be installed in the
water tank whenever the water filter cartridge is
removed.)
4. The water filter should be exchanged every two
months. To remind you, set the water filter exchange
dial
so that the current month is shown in the left
space (start month). The month you should replace
the water filter will then be shown in the right space
(end month).
Note: Before using the coffeemaker for the first time, after
a long period of not using it, or after installing a new water
filter cartridge, run the coffeemaker through one brewing
cycle using the maximum amount of cold, fresh water
without any ground coffee in the filter basket.
Setting the clock
After plugging in the coffeemaker, the time «00:00» will
flash on the display
. To set the clock, press either the
«h» or the «min» button / for at least two seconds.
Then hold the button or press repeatedly until you reach
the desired time.
Press the «h» button to program the hours. Press the
«min» button to program the minutes.
Recommendation: Just before reaching the correct time,
repeatedly press the «h» or «min» button briefly to avoid
going past the desired time. The colon between the hours
and minutes will flash for five seconds indicating that the
clock has been successfully been programmed.
Note: If the power supply to the coffeemaker is inter-
rupted (e.g., power failure, cord is unplugged), clock and
programmed time are stored for 10 minutes.
Manual operation
To switch on, press the «on/off» button . The red pilot
light will light up indicating that the coffeemaker is
switched on and brewing is in process. To switch off the
coffeemaker, press the «on/off» button. The red pilot light
will go off to indicate that the coffeemaker has been
switched off.
Automatic operation
To program the automatic operation, press the «auto»
button
until the green pilot light begins to flash.
The time «12:00» or the previously programmed time
appears on the display.
Then program the time for automatic operation by
