Operation

Notes

• For a better aroma, first press the On/Off button G for switching on the machine, then use the Aroma button H, which activates a unique brewing process that enhances the flavor and aroma of your coffee. To reach this rich flavor, the coffee maker advances through several continuous cycles.

Caution

• If the glass jug F is not placed accurately, the drip-stop C function will not function properly. It could cause hot water or hot coffee to overflow.

Information

Brewing Coffee

1. Pull off and fill the glass jug F with the required amount of water, but do not fill past the MAX mark. The brewed amount of coffee will be 10% less than the filled water, because it is absorbed by the coffee grounds and the filter.

Hints and Tips

• Use softened or filtered water to prevent lime build-up.
• Store unused coffee in a cool, dry place. After opening a package of coffee, reseal it tightly to maintain its freshness.
• Do not reuse the coffee sediment in the filter since this will reduce the flavour.
• Reheating coffee is not recommended as coffee is at its peak flavour immediately after brewing.
• Optionally, you can use the device with an additional paper filter.
