User manual SEVERIN KA 4766

[. . . ] 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. This appliance is not intended for use by any person (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lacking experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. [. . . ] - Inserting the paper filter: Insert a size-4 paper filter into the filter insert, 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 (= 11/2 - 2 teaspoons) of medium or finely ground coffee will be required. Close the water container lid afterwards. - Preparing the glass carafe: Fit the aroma protection 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 insert during the brewing cycle. - Starting the brewing cycle: 8 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. To keep the coffee hot for as long as possible, remove the aroma protection lid and use the screw-in lid to close the carafe. - Switching off the coffee maker: Always switch off the appliance after use and remove the plug from the wall socket. Heat-conserving 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 heatconserving 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. 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. [. . . ] To avoid the risk of electric shock do not immerse the coffee maker in water. The appliance may be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth, using a mild detergent. Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning solutions. - To remove the coffee grounds, open the water container lid and lift out the filter insert. [. . . ]
