[. . . ] If the appliance is used for purposes other than those intended or used incorrectly, no liability can be accepted for any damage that may be caused. ; 1 Safety instructions · The appliance operating voltage and the mains voltage must be the same!(See the rating plate on the underside of the coffee machine). · Never let the mains lead touch the hotplate when it is hot!· Never pull the plug from the socket by means of the mains lead! [. . . ] Place the Coffee Jug with Lid on the Hotplate 5. Switch on the Appliance (Figure 6) Your coffee machine has an aroma switch (depending on the model). The aroma switch guarantees a full coffee flavour even with smaller quantities of coffee (1-4 cups). ­ 1-4 cups of coffee: toggle switch in position "min-4" (Figure 6 A). ­ 5-10 cups of coffee: put the toggle switch in position "5-max" (Figure 6 A). Now switch the appliance on at the On/Off switch (Figure 6 B). After a few seconds hot water flows into the filter. Once all the water has passed through, the coffee is kept warm on the hotplate. Making Coffee 1. Fill with Water (Figure 3) Lift the lid on the fresh water container. Fill the container with clear, cold tap water. 1 Never use hot water. Also, please never fill the fresh water container with milk, coffee, tea, etc. The old filter can be treated as general household rubbish without cause for concern, the filter is manufactured on a vegetable base. Place the cap on the container such that the marker arrows on the cap and the container are aligned (Figure 11). Tighten the cap and insert the container such that the hooks on the container and hooks on the coffee machine mesh together, and the container is firmly seated (arrows in Figure 10). Close the lid on the fresh water filter compartment again. Descaling ­ To Make Your Coffee Machine Last Longer The life of your coffee machine is extended by regular descaling. We recommend descaling every three months as a preventative measure. 1 1 If you use a permanent filter, this must be removed from the swivel filter prior to descaling. The fresh water filter must not be fitted to the coffee machine during descaling. Therefore remove the fresh water filter container each time prior to descaling (see Figure 10). A liquid, environmentally acceptable, descaler should be used for descaling, these are generally available in the shops. Only use the descaler in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Do not use any descaler based on concentrated formic acid. Fill the fresh water container and only then add the descaler ­ not the other way round! [. . . ] ­ Deposit plastic bags made from polyethylene (PE) at a PE collection point for recycling. ­ Foam polystyrene (PS) padding items are free of CFCs. Please inquire with your local authority about your local recycling centre. The paper filter and coffee grounds are excellently suited to composting after brewing coffee. Spare Parts/Accessories 1.
