Tip: The coffeemaker saves the time settings (clock and start time) as long as it is connected
to the power supply. To restart automatic operation on the same pre-set time within the
next 24 hours, carefully prepare your coffeemaker for the brewing cycle
and, thereafter, simply press the auTo on button. The green LCD light will illuminate on
the auTo on button.
useful Tips
You can easily learn how to prepare a good coffee. In this chapter you will find some hints
for this purpose. Generally, coffee is the best and freshest shortly after brewing.
Tip: Choice the taste of your coffee according to your own particular liking. The coffee
brand and the way of grinding the coffee (fine or coarse) are essential for the results.
Just give it a try! Store your coffee (powder or whole beans) in a closely shut container
on a cool, dry place. However, it is better not to place the coffee in the refrigerator or the
freezer compartment.
You may buy grinded coffee. In this case, you should consume the coffee within a week,
because the flavour will evaporate gradually. The way of grinding (fine or coarse) will affect
the brewing time, and as a result, the quality of your coffee. However, make sure that the
coffee powder is suitable for drip coffeemakers.
We recommend buying coffee beans and grinding your coffee just before use. Coffee
beans should not be stored for more than 1 month.
Experiment with the amount of coffee used in order to adjust the flavour to your taste. Start
with the coffee/water ratio you normally use for preparing coffee. If you prefer strong cof-
fee, we recommend using one level measuring scoop for each cup (ca. 100 – 150 ml) or
10 level measuring scoops per full pot of coffee, but never use more than 12 level
measuring scoops of coffee powder.
The amount of brewed coffee will be a little less than the water placed in the water reservoir
since some water is absorbed by the coffee ground and the filter bag.
Care anD Cleaning
warning: Cover, filter basket, glass carafe, and warming plate will get very hot during
operation. Additionally, hot water and steam can pour out during operation. Always switch
off (on/off button), unplug, allow cooling down, moving or cleaning the appliance.
Additionally, empty the water reservoir before transportation or storage.
Do not place the appliance or any part of it in an automatic dishwasher! Do
not immerse the appliance or power cord in any liquids. Do not pour any
liquids over the appliance or the power cord.
Do not use aggressive chemicals (bleach, desinfectant, or decalcifier), abrasive cleaners,
or hard or sharp objects on any part of your coffeemaker.
Do not use violence to avoid damage. Especially the Pause & Serve mechanism of the
filter basket and the hinges of the covers of water reservoir and glass carafe are sensitive
to careless handling.
