[. . . ] Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. Never place the coffee maker nor its mains lead on or adjacent to hot surfaces such as the hot plates of an electric stove or near a hot gas flame. 5 Dear customer, Congratulations on your purchase of this excellent SEVERIN coffee maker. Decades of experience as well as our most modern production facilities guarantee the high quality standard of our products. With this machine, SEVERIN presents a new generation of coffee makers: Vapotronic brewing system . . . [. . . ] - The water level marks inside the water reservoir help you to measure the amount of water needed for the number of cups of coffee you wish to prepare: - water level marks on the left-hand side: medium-sized coffee cups (approx. 125 ml) - water level marks on the right-hand side: smaller sized coffee cups. Be careful not to exceed the maximum water level of 8 medium-sized cups as otherwise boiling water may be ejected and cause burns. This is important as the "Vapotronic"-system can only operate while the lid is closed. - Place the glass jug (9) with its lid (8) on top of it onto the hotplate (10). The jug lid opens the non-drip valve of the filter holder (illustration III). - Switch the hotplate (10) on by turning the on/off switch (1) to ON-position. Alternatively you can leave the hotplate switched off during the filtering process and switch it on only after the filtering process is complete. - Switch on the water reservoir element - - - - - by depressing switch (2) (illustration IV). The pilot light on the right-hand side will illuminate. The water in the reservoir is now brought to the boil. With the water reservoir filled to its maximum capacity, it will take about 5 minutes to heat the water. Once the perfect brewing temperature has been reached the valve inside the water reservoir opens and the brewing cycle begins. The water reservoir element will switch off automatically and the pilot light on the right-hand side will go out. The water starts to flow through the filter holder into the glass jug (9). The filtering process is complete when the total amount of water has passed through and no water is left in the filter holder. When removing the glass jug (9) from the machine once the filtering process is complete, the non-drip valve of the filter holder will close and prevent coffee from dripping onto the hotplate of the machine. We recommend you to stir the coffee before serving. To keep remaining coffee hot, replace the glass jug (9) back onto the hotplate (10). The hotplate (10) will keep the coffee hot as long as you leave it switched on. The plastic filter can be removed for cleaning (illustration V). This coffee maker has been designed for domestic use only. [. . . ] if the machine has accidentally been switched on without water in the water reservoir descale the water reservoir (see section Descaling). In case descaling does not help to eliminate 8 the malfunction, check whether the valve of the reservoir is clogged (e. Only in this case the valve unit should be removed for cleaning. To clean it proceeds as follows: Turn the complete valve unit anticlockwise and lift it out of the reservoir. [. . . ]
