[. . . ] 5 Sit the appliance on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface. 6 Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang , and can’t be tripped over or caught. 7 Unplug the appliance when not in use, before moving and before cleaning. 8 Fill with at least 2 cups of water, but not above the ;: mark. [. . . ] To extract maximum flavour from the coffee, it should be cool enough not to scald or burn the mouth, but hot enough to let the flavour fill the mouth, nose and sinuses, not just the taste buds. Bottled water 6 If you use bottled water, check that there are no added ingredients, flavourings, etc. , and use “still” water, not “sparkling”. The carbon dioxide which gives the “sparkle” will adversely affect the flavour of your coffee. Taste 7 Don’t be tempted to reheat coffee in the appliance. You’ll damage the appliance and the coffee will be undrinkable. 8 Clean the filter holder and carafe after each use. Residue from a previous brew will spoil your coffee. Preparation 9 Sit the appliance on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface. Filling 12 Remove the carafe from the hotplate. 13 Use the grip to open the lid, and expose the reservoir. 14 Use the carafe to fill the reservoir, to avoid overfilling. 15 Press the lever at the rear of the carafe lid, above the handle, to open the carafe lid. 16 Fill with at least 2 cups of water, but not above the ;: mark. 17 Put filter-ground coffee into the filter. The amount will vary with the type of coffee and individual taste, but we suggest two rounded teaspoons per cup of water. 18 Close the lid 19 Replace the carafe on the hotplate. Switch on 20 Put the plug into the power socket. 23 Shortly afterwards, coffee will start to drip into the carafe. 24 When it’s done, the hotplate will keep the carafe warm. 25 If left for much more than an hour, chemical changes in the coffee liquor start to affect the flavour. It’s best to pour it away and make a fresh pot. [. . . ] Descaling 45 Scale build-up will cause the element to overheat, reducing its working life. If you notice the brewing time getting longer, shorten the time between descalings. In areas of very hard water it may be necessary to descale as often as once a month, or to use filtered water instead of ordinary tap water. 47 Use a proprietary brand of descaler suitable for use in plastic-bodied products.
