Making coffee – Filling with water: Open the water container lid and fill the container with the desired quantity of water. € 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 (125ml), a measure of about 6 g (= 1½ - 2 teaspoons) of medium or finely ground coffee will be required. Close the swing-out filter afterwards and close the water container lid. € Preparing the glass carafe: Fit the lid onto the carafe, and then place the carafe into the appliance. 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.

It may also cause the brewing system to leak. We therefore strongly recommend descaling the appliance after each thirty to forty brewing cycles.
