Before first use

•

  Unpack the coffee maker and remove all 

packaging, promotional materials and 
stickers. Remove all printed documents.

•

  Check that your mains supply is the same as 

the one indicated on the appliance.

•

  Position the appliance on a flat, stable work 

surface, away from the edge and other 
electrical appliances. Ensure that the coffee 
maker is not positioned under any cupboards 
or near any furnishings, wallpaper or similar 
that could be damaged by hot steam.

•

  Wash all removable parts of the appliance in 

warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly 
with a soft cloth. Do not use harsh/abrasive 
cleaners or place any part of the appliance in 
the dishwasher.

Warning! Never immerse the main body of the 
appliance, cord set or plug in water or any other 
liquid.

•

  We recommend that you first familiarise 

yourself with all parts of the appliance before 
using it for the first time. Do not fill with water 
or connect to the mains supply when doing 
this.

•

  To remove any remaining residue from the 

manufacturing process, we recommend 
operating the coffee maker as described in 
the ‘ Use ’ section. This will flush the 
appliance out. Use water only, do not add 
coffee.

Note! Ensure that the coffee maker mains cord 
does not overhang the edge of the worktop.

Note! When the coffee maker is plugged in and 
operated for the first time, there may be a small 
amount of smoke and/or odour as the heating 
elements warm up. This represents no danger or 
malfunction with the product and should clear 
after a couple of uses.

Setting the clock

The coffee maker can be started / stopped 
without setting the clock by pressing either the 
Brew button (18) or the Grind and brew button 
(16).

The clock has to be set for the automatic 
operation of the coffee maker to work.
