[. . . ] When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and/or injury to persons, including the following: 1 - Read all instructions prior to first use. 3 - To protect against fire, electric shock and injury to persons, do not immerse cord, plugs or machine in water or other liquid. 4 - Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children. Keep appliance out of reach of children. [. . . ] Auto-Off Function: The heating plate (g) will maintain the temperature in the carafe (h) for 2 hours after which the machine shuts off automatically. The auto-off time can be adjusted from 30 minutes up to 3 hours in 30 minutes intervals. see page 10 ­Programming the machine. For best results brew only as much coffee as you will drink within 30-60 minutes. To use the Auto-On function, see the section "Programming your coffee machine". If no button are pressed for several seconds the programmed start time will be accepted automatically and the display will return to stand by mode showing the real time clock. To switch between "AM/PM" and 24 hour mode press simultaneously "h" and "min" buttons. Warning Put the carafe or thermal jug (h) on its plate/base (g) within a maximum of 20 seconds. Hot water continues to drip in the filter holder (c) when the carafe (h) is removed. The overflow of coffee and hot water could cause burns. Do not exceed the maximum capacity of the water tank (a) as shown by the Maxi level written on the water tank. Place the ground coffee into the paper filter or directly into a permanent filter. After use, discard the grounds, and rinse the cone filter holder (c) under running water. When the machine is hot, do not touch the drawer as the surface may be hot. After programming the automatic start time as described above, be sure to prepare the machine for a brew cycle with water in the tank, coffee in the brew basket and carafe securely in place. The program will need to be activated when needed again. By pressing the Program button (o) more than 2s, in real clock time, you can disable the Auto-On by hitting the Auto-On button. These proporties combine to protect the most delicate flavors in your coffee as well as protecting the machine's brewing system from the harmful effects of scale. please review the the section on descaling on page 12. Note: the rotary indicator (i) on the top of the water filter holder (j) can be used as a reminder to change the water filter. Turn the indicator to the month the filter should be changed, referring to the chart below. Example: if you install a new DuoFilter (k) in January (1) you should set the indicator (k) to March (3) or May (5), depending on the hardness of your local water supply: position the number 3 or 5 opposite the index mark. [. . . ] Filtered water is normally the best choice to help avoid the minerals and chlorine that can be found in municipal water systems. However if your water tastes good then it should be good for four coffee. Never pour milk, prepared coffee, tea, etc. The method of grinding and the level of fineness of the grind have a significant impact on the resulting taste of the brewed coffee. [. . . ]
