BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME We recommend that prior to brewing your first cup of coffee you should brew one round with cold water only, without ground coffee or a paper filter. This will remove any dust that may have settled inside the coffee maker. Important: Use only cold water. The coffee maker has been designed to work only with cold water. 14 OPERATING YOUR COFFEE MAKER - Place your coffee maker on a flat, level surface, such as a countertop. Plug the unit into an outlet. - Open the water container lid. Pour in the desired amount of water. Please observe that you can pour more water in the coffee maker than in the jug. The water level is indicated on the water container. - NOTE: Make sure that water is NOT exceeding the "8-12" indication on the water level indicator on the side of the water container, as this may result in coffee spilling over the jug. - Insert a 1x4 cone shaped paper filter into the filter basket. Place the desired amount of ground coffee into the paper filter. - Place the jug under the drip-stop. - Use the brewing button to start brewing - the indicator light will turn on. This indicates that the coffee maker has started brewing. - Once brewing has finished, the machine automatically turns off both brewing and hotplate. However, the light will remain on until the brewing button (3) is switched off. - If you wish to brew more coffee immediately after the first brewing has stopped let the appliance cool off for 3-4 minutes and follow the above points. - When you have finished brewing coffee remove the plug from the mains outlet. USING THE JUG To close the lid, turn it clockwise as far as possible (the pin on the lid should be pointing towards the handle). To pour from the pot when the lid is on, turn the lid half a turn anti-clockwise so that the pin on the lid is pointing to the spout. To take the lid off, turn it anti-clockwise until it can be removed. DRIP STOP Your coffee maker has been designed with an drip stop feature. If you wish at any time during the brewing cycle, you may temporarily remove the jug from the unit and pour a hot cup of coffee. The brewing cycle will be interrupted and no coffee will drip from the filter basket. Simply by replacing the jug on the plate the brewing process will be restarted. Do not remove the jug for longer than 30 seconds. CLEANING - Make sure the coffee maker is switched off and cooled off before each cleaning. - The jug and basket may be washed in hot soapy water. - Wipe the coffee maker base with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Never use abrasive scouring pads or cleaners as they will scratch and/or discolour the finish. 15 DECALCIFYING The lime content of ordinary tap water means limescale may gradually be deposited inside the coffee maker. This limescale may be loosened using acetic acid (NOT ordinary vinegar) or descaler, available in supermarkets etc. 1. Mix 100 ml acetic acid with 300 ml cold water, or follow the instructions on the descaler packaging. 2. Pour the solution into the reservoir and switch on the coffee maker using the on/off button. 3. Allow half of the solution to ...
