4. Setting the hotplate
Keeping coee warm on the hotplate aects the taste
of your coee. To avoid this you should enjoy your
coee fresh, by drinking it as soon after brewing as

energy. The factory settings for the appliance are for
40 minutes of warming. After this the hotplate turns
o automatically. This time can be changed as needed:
•Holddownthe“Start/Stop”button and by briefly

(20, 40 or 60 minutes). The current warming
time will be shown in the display .

descaling display helps you in this. If the CALC-button 
is permanently lit this shows that the appliance needs
to be descaled.
The appliance is pre-set for a high level of water
