months. To remind you, set the dial

to the month

that the water filter should be replaced.

N.B.

Before using the coffeemaker for the first time, after a

long period of not using it, or after installing a new water

filter cartridge, run the coffeemaker through one brewing

cycle using the maximum amount of cold, fresh water

without

any ground coffee.

II Making coffee

Fill tank with cold, fresh water, press filter push button

to open filter basket, insert a No. 4 paper filter, put in

ground coffee, place the carafe on the hotplate and

switch on the coffeemaker. For more convenience when

filling with or disposing of ground coffee, the filter basket

can be easily taken off its hinge. A drip-stop prevents

dripping when the carafe is removed to pour a cup before

brewing is finished. Carafe should be immediately

returned to hotplate to prevent the filter basket from

overflowing.

Brewing time per cup: approx. 1 minute. Amount of

brewed coffee in the carafe will be below initial filling level

as water is retained by ground coffee.

Model KF 550

is equipped with an automatic shut-off

feature (auto-off). After two hours of operation the

coffeemaker will automatically switch off.

III Water filter

The water filter improves coffee flavor by removing

chlorine, bad tastes and odors as well as scale. If the

cartridge is replaced regularly (every two months), it

provides not only better tasting coffee, but also can

extend the life of your coffeemaker by preventing

calcification. Braun water filters are available at your

retailer or Braun service centre.

IV Cleaning

Always unplug the appliance before cleaning. Never

clean the appliance under running water, nor immerse it

in water; only clean it with a damp cloth. All removable

parts are dishwasher-safe.

V Decalcifying

(without illustrations)

If you have hard water and you use your coffeemaker

without a water filter, it has to be decalcified regularly.

When using the water filter cartridge and exchanging it

regularly, you normally will not need to decalcify. How-

ever, if your coffeemaker takes much longer than usual to

brew, it should be decalcified.

portant: Replace water filter with the space compen-

sator during any decalcification procedure.

• You can use a commercially available decalcifying

agent, which does not affect aluminum.

• Follow the instructions of the manufacturer of the

decalcifying agent.

• Repeat the procedure as many times as necessary in

order to reduce the brewing time per cup to a normal

level.

• Allow the maximum amount of fresh cold water to run

through at least twice to clean the coffeemaker.

Best practices for best results

This coffeemaker is designed to deliver maximum coffee

aroma. Therefore, Braun recommends:

• Use only fresh ground coffee.

• Store ground coffee in a cool, dry and dark place

(e.g., refrigerator) in an airtight container.

• Use only Braun water filters and exchange every two

months with regular use.

• Clean and decalcify coffeemaker regularly as de-

scribed in parts IV and V.
