Do not let the cord come into contact with hot surfaces. Using the appliance 1 Fill the cup or cups you are going to use with fresh, cold water. 2 Pour the water into the water tank (Fig. 2).

Note: You can also order the permanent ?lter separately (see chapter ‘Ordering accessories’). 4 Put ground coffee (?lter-?ne grind) in the ?lter (Fig. 5). If you grind the coffee beans yourself, do not grind them too ?nely. Take approx. two level measuring spoons of ground coffee for each cup when you use large cups (for instance the cups that come with the appliance).

When you reinsert the plug into the wall socket, the appliance continues brewing until the water reservoir is empty. 7 The appliance switches off automatically after brewing. After the power-on light goes out, wait until no more coffee drips from the coffee spout before you remove the cup or cups. Note: The appliance does not keep the coffee hot. The after-brew drip stop prevents coffee from dripping onto the drip tray after brewing. This drip stop may cause some water to remain behind in the ?lter holder. This does not mean that the ?lter is clogged. 8 If you have used a paper ?lter, throw it away (Fig. 8). 9 If you have used the permanent ?lter, empty and rinse it (Fig. 9).
