How to make drip coee
Please note: the rst time the appliance is used, all ac-
cessories and the internal circuits must be washed through by
making at least two jugs of coee without using pre-ground
coee.
• Open the door at the front by pulling the handle (C) and
use the jug to pour clean cold water into the water tank (D)
(g. 1) up to the level indicated for the number of cups of
coee to be prepared. Check the level of water in the tank
through the level window (H) (g. 2). You are recommen-
ded to use the jug provided as a measure as the maximum
capacity of the jug and the tank are the same.
• Position the permanent lter (F) (if present) in the lter
holder (g. 3). In versions without permanent lter, use
the paper lter (size 1x4).
• Place the pre-ground coee in the lter using the measu-
re (B) provided and level evenly (g. 4). See the table for
recommended quantities. Use good quality, medium pre-
ground coee for drip coee makers.
Recommended quantities:

(*) 1 level measure = 1 tablespoon (5 g)
The quantities given in the table are indicative and should be
adapted to your personal taste and the type of coee. Never ex-
ceed the maximum quantity of 10 measures. The type of blend
has a considerable inuence on the coee you make. You should
therefore try various types of coee to nd the one best suited
to your taste.
• Close the door at the front of the appliance and place the
closed jug on the plate (g. 5).
• Press the ON/OFF button (E) (g. 6). The light on the switch
indicates that the coee maker is operating. Coee delive-
ry will start after a few seconds. It is completely normal for
the appliance to give o steam while the coee is percola-
ting.
• If you leave the ON/OFF button pressed after percolation
has nished, the plate (G) will keep the coee at the ideal
temperature. To turn the plate o press the button again.
Please note: removing the jug before all the coee re-
quested has been delivered does not interrupt coee making,
but merely blocks ow into the jug. If you want to pour out a
little coee immediately, you should do so as rapidly as possible
in order to avoid the coee overowing.
Cleaning and maintenance
Before maintenance or cleaning of the appliance, turn o, un-
plug from the mains socket and allow to cool.
• Do not use solvents or abrasive detergents to clean the cof-
fee maker. Just wipe with a soft damp cloth.
• Never immerse the coee maker in water. It is an electrical
appliance.
Descaling
If the water in your area is hard, limescale builds up over time.
These deposits may aect correct operation of the appliance.
You are recommended to descale the coee maker every 60 cof-
fee making cycles. To descale, always use special commercially
available descaling products for drip coee makers.
1. Dilute the product in the jug, following the instructions on
the descaler pack;
2. Pour the solution into the water tank;
3. Place the jug on the warming plate;
4. Press the ON/OFF button, percolate the equivalent of one
cup then turn the appliance o;
5. Leave the solution to work for 15 minutes, then repeat
operations 4 and 5.
6. Turn the appliance on and deliver the water until the tank
is completely empty.
7. Rinse by operating the appliance with water only at least 3
times (3 complete tanks of water).
Failure to clean as described above invalidates the guarantee.
