4. Place Carafe: Ensure the glass carafe with its lid is correctly positioned on the warming plate.

5.2 Setting Grind Level and Coffee Strength

• Grind Level: Use the grind selector dial on the grinder unit to choose one of the 5 available grind levels. A finer grind is suitable for stronger coffee, while a coarser grind is for lighter coffee.
• Coffee Strength: Press the 'Strength' button on the control panel to cycle through the three strength settings: mild, medium, or strong. The selected strength will be displayed on the LCD.
• Cup Quantity: Press the 'Cups' button to select the desired number of cups (2, 4, 6, 8, or 10). This controls the coffee-to-water ratio.
• Aroma Function: For brewing 2-4 cups, the aroma function can be activated to optimize extraction for smaller quantities. This is typically engaged automatically or via a specific setting when selecting 2-4 cups.

5.3 Programming the Timer (Auto-On)

2. Press and hold the 'Auto-On' button until the display flashes.

5.4 Starting the Brewing Process

• For immediate brewing, ensure all settings are correct, then press the 'On/Off' button. The grinder will activate, followed by the brewing cycle.
• If the 'Auto-On' function is set, the coffee maker will automatically begin grinding and brewing at the programmed time.

5.5 Pause and Serve Function

The coffee maker features a pause and serve function, allowing you to temporarily remove the carafe during the brewing cycle to pour a cup of coffee. The flow of coffee will stop automatically. Replace the carafe within 20 seconds to prevent overflow.

5.6 Keep Warm Function

After brewing, the warming plate will automatically keep the coffee hot for up to 2 hours. The appliance will then automatically shut off for safety and energy conservation.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your coffee maker.

The water filter should be replaced regularly, as indicated by the coffee maker's display or approximately every 2 months/60 brewing cycles. Follow the instructions provided with the replacement filter.

6.4 Descaling

Mineral deposits (limescale) can build up in your coffee maker over time, affecting performance and coffee taste. Descale your appliance regularly, depending on water hardness and frequency of use (e.g., every 2-3 months).

1. Prepare a descaling solution: Mix 1 part white vinegar with 2 parts water, or use a commercial descaling agent designed for coffee makers.
2. Pour the solution into the water reservoir.
3. Place the empty carafe on the warming plate.
4. Run a brewing cycle without coffee beans or grounds.
5. After the cycle, let the solution sit in the carafe for 15-20 minutes.
6. Discard the solution and rinse the carafe thoroughly.
7. Run 2-3 cycles with fresh, clean water to flush out any remaining descaling solution.
