User Manual

Note: During brewing, you can only switch off the appliance by removing the mains plug from the wall
socket. When you reinsert the plug into the wall socket, the appliance continues brewing until the water
reservoir is empty.
7 The appliance switches off automatically after brewing. After the power-on light goes out,
wait until no more coffee drips from the coffee spout before you remove the cup or cups.
Note: The appliance does not keep the coffee hot.
The after-brew drip stop prevents coffee from dripping onto the drip tray after brewing. This
drip stop may cause some water to remain behind in the lter holder. This does not mean that
the lter is clogged.
8 If you have used a paper lter, throw it away (Fig. 8).
9 If you have used the permanent lter, empty and rinse it (Fig. 9).
Let the appliance cool down for at least 4 minutes before you start to brew coffee again.
Cleaning
Never immerse the appliance in water.
1 Unplug the appliance.
2 Clean the appliance with a moist cloth.
3 Clean the separate parts (drip tray, lter holder and permanent lter, if any) in warm water
with some washing-up liquid or in the dishwasher.

Regular descaling prolongs the life of the appliance and guarantees optimal brewing results for a
long time.
In case of normal use, descale the appliance:
2 or 3 times a year if you use soft water (up to 18dH);
4 or 5 times a year if you use hard water (over 18dH).
Contact your local water board for information about the water hardness in your area.
1 Fill the water tank with white vinegar (4% acetic acid). Do not put a lter or ground coffee in
the lter holder.
2 Let the appliance complete two brewing cycles.
You can use the same vinegar for both brewing cycles.
3 Let the appliance complete two more brewing cycles with fresh, cold water to remove any
vinegar and scale residues.
4 Clean the separate parts (see chapter ‘Cleaning’).
Note: You can also use an appropriate liquid descaler. In that case, follow the instructions on the package
of the descaler.
