3. Set up
3.1 Preparing the machine
➔ Before making coffee for the
first time, please carry out the
brew ing operation once or twice
with the maximum amount of
water, but no coffee. This gives
the machine a thorough clean.
➔ To do this, plug the machine
into the mains power supply (see
previous point), once fully un -
packed. Fill the water reservoir
(fig 1/H) to the upper cup limit
(MAX) with cold water (no
mineral water!)
➔ Turn the thermos jug lid clock -
wise to close (fig. 1/F) and place
the jug on the base (fig. 1/G).
The lid must always be on the jug
during brewing, as it opens the
anti-drip valve. Freshly brewed
coffee drips down into the thermos
jug through a special opening in
the lid.
➔ Switch the machine on and let
the water run down without coffee
or filter paper into the coffee jug,
pressing the On / Off button (fig.
I/J) to start. Pour the water away.
Repeat a second time if required.
3.2 Getting started
Filling the water reservoir
Lift the lid covering the water re -
servoir (fig. 1/H and fig. 4) and fill
it with fresh, cold tap water up to
the desired level (as shown by the
cup markings on the water level
indicator on the side of the re -
servoir (fig. 1/I and 2)). This indi-
cator is accurate for fresh water
only – as the coffee grains soak up
some of the water during the
brew ing operation, the quant ity of
coffee actually brewed will be
slightly lower.
Important: Never fill with hot
water, nor, under any circum -
stances, with milk, tea, brewed
coffee, etc.!
Inserting filter paper
➔ Insert filter paper size 4 in the
filter holder. Fold the perforated
edges of the filter paper flat in the
usual manner. The water reservoir
lid must be kept open for this
step.
➔ To prevent any loss of aroma
during grinding and brewing, your
coffee machine is fitted with an
aroma protection cover (fig. 8)
