Getting started 

1. 

Place the machine on a flat surface. 

When starting the machine for 

the first time

, fill the tank with cold 

water. Start the machine with the 
ON/OFF switch. Let a full tank of 
water pass through the machine 
once or twice to clean it, without 
using paper filter or coffee.

3.  Insert a size 1x4 paper filter in the 

filter holder

 and fill it with ground 

coffee. For average strong coffee 
one measuring spoon (approx. 6-7 
g) per cup is sufficient. Close the 
water tank lid and place the jug 
(complete with lid) onto the warm-
ing plate. 

2.  Making coffee: 

open the lid and fill 

the water tank with fresh cold water 
up to the desired level. There is a 
Water level indicator for 2–10 big 
cups / 3–15 small cups inside the 
water tank. 

The machine must not be used 

with empty tank!

4.  Start the machine

 with the ON/

OFF switch. The power indicator 
light will come  on and hot water 
will flow into the filter. When water 
has stopped flowing, the warming 
plate keeps the coffee hot until 
the machine is turned off with the 
ON/OFF switch. If the machine is 
not turned off manually, the Safety 
Auto-Off function turns it off after 

40 minutes

.

5.  If the jug is removed

, the filter 

valve prevents coffee from dripping 
onto the warming plate. 

While boiling, the jug must not 

be removed for longer than 30 

seconds or the filter will overflow.

6.  The Aroma Selector

 extends the 

brewing time to maximize the fla-
vour extraction and get a stronger 
coffee for a small number of cups 
(normally less than 6). Press the 
Aroma button, the light will turn on.
