User manual BRAUN KF 560

[. . . ] This appliance is not intended for use by children or persons with reduced physical or mental capabilities, unless they are given supervision by a person responsible for their safety. In general, we recommend that you keep the appliance out of reach of children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. [. . . ] Before using the coffeemaker for the first time, after a long period of not using it, or after installing a new water filter cartridge, run the coffeemaker through one brewing cycle using the maximum amount of cold, fresh water without any ground coffee. Fill tank with cold, fresh water, press filter push button Á to open filter basket, insert a No. 4 paper filter, put in ground coffee, place the carafe on the hotplate È and switch on the coffeemaker Í. For more convenience when filling with or disposing of ground coffee, the filter basket can be easily taken off its hinge. A drip-stop prevents dripping when the carafe is removed to pour a cup before brewing is finished. Carafe should be immediately returned to hotplate to prevent the filter basket from overflowing. Amount of brewed coffee in the carafe will be below initial filling level as water is retained by ground coffee. The water filter improves coffee flavor by removing chlorine, bad tastes and odors as well as scale. If the cartridge is replaced regularly (every two months), it provides not only better tasting coffee, but also can extend the life of your coffeemaker by preventing calcification. Braun water filters are available at your retailer or Braun service centre.

Never clean the appliance under running water, nor immerse it in water; only clean it with a damp cloth. If you have hard water and you use your coffeemaker without a water filter, it has to be decalcified regularly. When using the water filter cartridge and exchanging it regularly, you normally will not need to decalcify. However, if your coffeemaker takes much longer than usual to brew, it should be decalcified. Important: Replace water filter with the space compensator during any decalcification procedure. You can use a commercially available decalcifying agent, which does not affect aluminum. Installing the water filter cartridge (not included in model KF 520; may be purchased separately) 1.
