[. . . ] The hot-plate becomes very hot during operation. To prevent the danger of hot water or steam being emitted, always switch off the coffee maker and allow sufficient time for the appliance to cool down before it is opened or any accessories or attachments are removed. Always remove the plug from the wall socket - in case of any malfunction, - after use, and also - before cleaning the appliance. When removing the plug from the wall socket, never pull on the power cord; always grip the plug itself. [. . . ] caution: the hot water outlet is integrated in the filter holder lid. Do not attempt to open the lid while brewing is in progress, as the hot water outlet will be exposed: there is a danger of scalding. If several consecutive brewing cycles are required, switch off the coffee maker after each cycle and let the appliance cool down for approx. Important note: When filling the appliance with fresh water shortly after a brewing cycle is completed, there is a danger of scalding from hot water or steam escaping through the water outlet. Making coffee - Filling with water: Open the water container lid and fill the container with the required quantity of water. Insert a size-4 paper filter into the filter insert, first folding down the perforated sides of the filter. - Filling with ground coffee: For each regular-sized cup (125ml), a measure of about 6 g (= 11/2 - 2 teaspoons) of medium or finely ground coffee will be required. - Preparing the glass carafe: Fit the aroma protection lid onto the carafe, and then place the carafe into the appliance. if correctly inserted , the lid will disable the drip-stop mechanism in the filter insert during the brewing cycle. - Starting the brewing cycle: Insert the plug into a suitable wall outlet and use the On/Off switch to switch the coffee maker on. The filtration cycle starts and the water passes through the filter. - Removing the glass carafe: Wait until all the water has passed through the filter before the carafe is removed from the appliance. - Switching off the coffee maker: The coffee may be kept warm inside the carafe by leaving it standing on the hot-plate. The plate is kept warm until the appliance is switched off. Always switch off the appliance after use and remove the plug from the wall socket. Descaling Depending on the water quality (lime content) in your area as well as the frequency of use, all thermal household appliances using hot water need descaling (i. A lengthening of the brewing time and increased noise during brewing indicate that descaling of the coffee maker has become necessary. An excessive build-up of lime deposits is very difficult to remove, even when strong descaling agents are used. it may also cause the brewing system to leak. We therefore strongly recommend descaling the appliance after each thirty to forty brewing cycles. [. . . ] Wipe dry afterwards - Both glass carafe and lid are dish-washer safe.
