Make use of your local collection services – active environmental protection starts with the responsible handling of raw materials. 8 Connection to the mains supply The appliance should only be connected to an earthed socket installed in accordance with the regulations. Make sure that the supply voltage corresponds with the voltage marked on the rating label of the appliance. [. . . ] caution: The water reservoir heats up during operation. €“ Depending on your personal taste, the actual quantity used may vary. €“ Replace the filter holder lid and close the swing-out filter. €“ Open the lid of the fresh-water container and fill it with the desired quantity of cold water, observing the minimum fill amount (2 cups). €“ Two measuring scales on the valve unit help you to find the correct amount of fresh water: - left scale for normal-size cups (around 125 ml). 10 – – – – – – – – – – – Caution: To prevent boiling water from being forced out, be careful not to exceed the maximum water level of 8 mediumsized cups. Press the start button; the indicator light comes on and the heating process starts. With the water reservoir filled to its maximum, it will take about 5 minutes to bring the water to the boil. Once the optimum brewing temperature has been reached, the valve opens and the brewing cycle begins. The Vapotronic system will switch off the heating process automatically. The coffee starts flowing through the filter into the heat-preserving carafe. The indicator light goes out once the filtration cycle is complete. The freshly brewed coffee can be poured without having to remove the screw-in lid. To pour, simply rotate the screw-in lid anticlockwise half a turn. This coffee maker has been designed for domestic use only. Heat-retaining carafe – For technical reasons the screw-in lid does not close hermetically. Therefore always hold – the carafe in an upright position when filled with coffee. Keeping the coffee hot: A heat-conserving carafe accumulates heat energy. Therefore the carafe should preferably be filled to its maximum capacity. If it is only partly filled, the temperature will not be held as efficiently. If you rinse out the carafe with hot water before use, the coffee will be kept warm for longer. Cleaned with hot soapy water; rinse thoroughly afterwards under fresh tap water. [. . . ] If descaling does not help to solve the problem, check whether the valve of the reservoir is clogged (e. With coffee grounds or foreign particles such as fibres). Only in this case should the valve unit be removed for cleaning. To clean, proceed as follows: – Turn the complete valve unit anti-clockwise and lift it out of the reservoir. [. . . ]
