[. . . ] During operation, the coffee maker must 8 be placed on a level, non-slip surface, impervious to splashes and stains. Do not allow the appliance or its power cord to touch hot surfaces or to come into contact with any heat sources. Do not leave the appliance unattended while in use. To prevent the danger of hot water or 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. [. . . ] To interrupt the brewing cycle, disconnect the appliance from the mains. € Switching off the coffee maker: Remove the plug from the wall outlet after use. 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 a longer time. € During brewing, and also while pouring the coffee from the heat-retaining carafe, the drip-through lid does not need to be removed and should remain in place. To pour the coffee, turn the lid counter- clockwise about half a turn so that the arrow on the lid is aligned with the pouring spout. € The interior of the heat-retaining carafe insert consists of high quality doublewalled glass with a vacuum in-between for better insulation. Any streaks or bubble marks inside the carafe looking like bubbles or scratches do not affect its functional use nor its heat-retaining ability. In case the glass is damaged for one or the other reason as mentioned below, there is a risk that the glass carafe implodes. This might happen quite some time after the glass carafe has actually been damaged. Therefore do not drink out of the carafe and do not put your hand into it. Always close the carafe with its screw cap. Do not leave the vacuum carafe unattended near where children may reach it. To prevent damage to the glass carafe: – Avoid shocks and great differences in temperature. € Do not stir in the carafe, for example with a metal spoon. – Do not use hard brushes or abrasive cleaning agents. Dust particles may cut the glass (similar to a glass-cutter).
