Parts Description
The coffee maker consists of the following parts:
- 1. Cover
- 2. Funnel
- 3. Water tank
- 4. Glass jug
- 5. Hot plate
- 6. On/off switch with power indicator light
Before First Use
- Remove the appliance and accessories from the box. Remove any stickers, protective foil, or plastic from the device.
- Place the device on a flat, stable surface with at least 10 cm of free space around it. It is not suitable for installation in a cabinet or for outdoor use.
- Connect the power cable to the socket. Ensure the voltage indicated on the device matches the local voltage before connecting.
- For optimal taste, run 2-3 brewing cycles with fresh water only (without coffee). After the water has passed through, switch off the appliance and let it cool for 5 minutes. Repeat this process with fresh water.
Use
- Pour the desired volume of water into the water reservoir. The water level indicator shows the number of cups.
- Add the desired quantity of ground coffee. Replace the filter holder. Press the on/off button to switch on the coffee maker; the pilot light will illuminate.
- Ensure the glass jug is correctly placed on the hot plate.
- A non-drip valve automatically stops coffee from dripping onto the hot plate when the jug is removed. Replacing the jug automatically opens the valve, allowing remaining coffee to filter into the jug.
- Wait until the brewing process is finished and the filter is empty. Press the on/off button to switch off the coffee maker; the red pilot light will go out.
- The glass jug can remain on the hot plate, which heats up when the coffee maker is switched on, keeping the coffee warm.
- NOTE: For safety reasons, the hot plate will automatically turn off after 40 minutes.
