[. . . ] 7 ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● 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. Do not allow the power cord to hang free; the cord must be kept well away from hot parts of the appliance. [. . . ] — 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, fill the container with the desired quantity of water and replace the lid. - Inserting the paper filter: Open the swing-out filter sideways and insert a size-4 paper filter into the filter holder, first folding down the perforated sides of the filter. - Filling with ground coffee: For each regular-sized cup (125 ml), 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. — 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. For descaling, a vinegar solution may be used as follows: - Mix 2-3 tablespoons of vinegar with the indicated maximum amount of cold water. - Pour the descaling solution into the water container, insert a paper filter into the filter holder without adding any ground coffee as described in section Making coffee, and let the appliance run through one filtration cycle. During descaling, ensure sufficient ventilation and do not inhale any vinegar vapours. - To clean the appliance after descaling, let it run through 2-3 filtration cycles using clean water only.
