3. Setup

3.1 Unpacking

Carefully remove all packaging materials from the coffee machine. Ensure all components are present: coffee machine base, glass jug, and removable filter holder.

3.2 First Use Cleaning

1. Wash the glass jug and the removable filter holder with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
2. Fill the water tank to the maximum level with fresh water.
3. Place an empty filter paper (size 1x4) into the filter holder.
4. Run the coffee machine through a full brewing cycle without coffee grounds. Discard the water.
5. Repeat this process once more to ensure the appliance is clean and free of any manufacturing residues.

3.3 Placement

Place the coffee machine on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface, away from water sources and direct heat. Ensure there is adequate space around the appliance for ventilation.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Filling the Water Tank

1. Open the lid of the water tank.
2. Fill the water tank with fresh, cold water using the glass jug. The tank has a dual graduation scale for 10 large cups (125ml each) or 15 small cups (85ml each). Do not exceed the 'MAX' mark.
3. Close the lid securely.

4.2 Inserting the Filter and Coffee

1. Swivel out the filter holder.
2. Insert a Melitta 1x4 filter paper into the filter holder.
3. Add the desired amount of ground coffee into the filter paper. A general guideline is one level tablespoon of coffee per cup, but adjust to your personal preference.
4. Swivel the filter holder back into position until it clicks.

4.3 Using the Aroma Selector

The Aroma Selector allows you to adjust the coffee intensity from mild to strong. Rotate the knob on top of the machine to your preferred setting:

• Mild: For a lighter, more delicate coffee flavor.
• Intense: For a richer, stronger coffee flavor.

4.4 Starting the Brewing Process

1. Ensure the glass jug is correctly placed on the warming plate.
2. Plug the power cord into a suitable wall outlet.
3. Press the illuminated On/Off button located on the side of the machine. The light will illuminate, indicating that the brewing process has started.
4. The coffee will begin to brew and drip into the glass jug.

4.5 Keep Warm Function and Automatic Shut-off

After brewing, the warming plate will keep the coffee hot for approximately 30 minutes. The machine will then automatically shut off for safety and energy saving. If you wish to keep the coffee warm for longer, you will need to restart the machine for another 30-minute cycle, though it is recommended to consume coffee fresh for optimal taste.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your coffee machine.

5.1 Daily Cleaning

1. Always unplug the appliance and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Remove the glass jug and the removable swivel filter holder. These parts are dishwasher-safe. Alternatively, wash them with warm, soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
3. Wipe the exterior of the coffee machine with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the appliance in water.
4. Clean the warming plate with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh or abrasive materials that could scratch the surface.

5.2 Descaling

Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) can build up in your coffee machine, affecting performance and coffee taste. Descaling should be performed regularly, depending on the hardness of your water and frequency of use.

1. Use a commercially available descaling solution suitable for coffee machines, following the manufacturer's instructions.
2. Alternatively, you can use a mixture of white vinegar and water (e.g., 1 part vinegar to 2 parts water).
3. Pour the descaling solution into the water tank.
4. Place an empty filter paper in the filter holder and the empty glass jug on the warming plate.
5. Start a brewing cycle. Allow about half of the solution to brew through, then turn off the machine and let it sit for 15-30 minutes to allow the solution to work.
6. Turn the machine back on to complete the brewing cycle.
7. After descaling, run at least two full cycles with fresh, clean water to rinse out any descaling solution residue.

6. Troubleshooting

• Coffee does not brew: Ensure the machine is plugged in, the power button is pressed (illuminated), and the water tank contains water. Check if the filter holder is correctly seated.
• Coffee is too weak: Increase the amount of ground coffee, or adjust the Aroma Selector to the 'Intense' setting. Ensure you are using fresh coffee grounds.
• Coffee is too strong: Decrease the amount of ground coffee, or adjust the Aroma Selector to the 'Mild' setting.
• Water leaks from the machine: Check that the water tank lid is properly closed and the glass jug is correctly positioned on the warming plate. Ensure the filter holder is securely closed.
• Slow brewing or unusual noise: This may indicate limescale buildup. Perform a descaling cycle as described in Section 5.2.
• Machine does not turn on: Check the power cord connection and the wall outlet. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
