User manual SEVERIN KA 4049

[. . . ] 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. [. . . ] - 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. 8 If correctly inserted, the lid will disable the drip-stop mechanism in the filter holder 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. e. removal of lime deposits) on a regular basis to warrant proper functioning. 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. [. . . ] Disposal Do not dispose of old or defective appliances in domestic garbage, but only through public collection points.
