Note: Never fill the water tank once the coffee machine has started a brewing cycle. This
will affect the volume dispensed into the carafe.
2. Pre-Warm the Carafe
A warm carafe will help maintain the coffee’s optimal temperature and keep coffee hotter
for longer. Remove the carafe lid by turning counter-clockwise then lifting upwards. Fill the
carafe with hot water for about 30 seconds then discard the water. To lock the carafe lid
back into position, align the arrow on the carafe lid with the ALIGN arrow on the carafe.
Turn clockwise until the arrow on the carafe lid aligns with the LOCK arrow on the carafe.
This ensures that the lid is closed and in the proper position for brewing and pouring. Place
the carafe into position under the drip stop outlet.

THEN TURN TO LOCK
Note: Ensure the carafe is completely empty and the lid is securely locked in place before
placing under the drip stop outlet. Starting a brew cycle with water or coffee in the carafe
will cause the carafe to over flow.
3. Select ‘Carafe’ Mode
Press the CARAFE button. The LCD screen will display a carafe symbol and the current
number of cups selected. Continue pressing the CARAFE button to select the desired number
of cups. You can choose less than the current tank level (2 cup minimum), while the maximum
is the amount of water in the tank, up to 12 cups. Each cup is approximately 150 ml.
4. Select the Brew Strength or ‘PRE-GROUND’ Coffee Setting
Press the STRENGTH button. The LCD screen will flash the current strength setting and the
and
buttons will illuminate and flash. Use these buttons to cycle through 7 strength set-
tings from ‘MILD’, ‘STRONG’ to ‘INTENSE’ or for the ‘PRE-GROUND’ coffee setting. When
the ‘INTENSE’ strength setting is selected, the maximum number of cups that can be brewed
is 9 cups. This ensures the maximum coffee to water ratio. Press the STRENGTH button to
select. The LCD screen will cease to flash once selected.
Note: If using pre-ground coffee, select the ‘PRE-GROUND’ coffee setting. This will disable
the burr grinder. Add pre-ground coffee to the Longlife-Filter or a paper filter (Ø 85/215 mm).
We recommend 1 level tablespoon of pre-ground coffee per 150 ml cup of water. Adjust the
amount according to your individual taste. The maximum capacity for preground coffee is 16
level tablespoons. Exceeding this amount may cause overflow.
