3.5 Fine adjustment of grind quantity
•Thenumberofcupsandthecoeestrength
setting determines the grinding quantity. Since each
individual perceives coee strength dierently, it is
possible to finely adjust the default settings when
the grinder is activated.
•Alongpressonthecoeestrengthbuttonactivates
the fine adjustment. LED 2 on the coee strength
indicator lights up.
•Asubsequentshortpressonthestrengthbutton
displays LED 3. In this setting, the grind time
determined by the number of cups and the strength
setting is increased by 10%. This increases the quan-
tity of coee that is ground.
•Asubsequentshortpressonthecoeestrength
button displays LED 2. This shortens the grind time
by 10% and reduces the quantity of coee that is
ground.
•Pressandholdthecoeestrengthbuttontosave
the required setting.
3.6 Manual extraction control
•Itispossibletocontrolextractionmanuallyafter
starting the brewing process.
•Withalongpressonthecoeestrengthbutton
manual extraction control is switched on and
depending on the current direction of rotation of
the spout, LED 1 or LED 3 on the coee strength
display starts to flash.
•IfLED1ashes,thespoutrotatesclockwiseandthe
outer area of the ground coee is moistened. LED 3
indicates the opposite direction of rotation and the
central area of the ground coee is moistened.
•Thedirectionofrotationofthespoutcanbechanged
by briefly pressing the coee strength button.
•Thedirectionofrotationcanbechangedasoftenas
required. Manual extraction control can be stopped
with a long press on the coee strength button. The
appliance automatically continues the extraction
control set before brewing by selection of the num-
ber of cups and coee strength.
4. Warm keeping / Automatic switch off
Keepingthecoffeewarmforalongertimeonthe
hotplatechangesthetasteofthecoffee.Toavoid
this,youshouldenjoyyourcoffeeasfreshaspossible
immediatelyafterbrewing.Keepingthecoffeewarm
unnecessarilyalsoconsumesvaluableenergy.
Ifyouneverthelesswanttokeepthecoffeewarm,
theapplianceswitchesoffautomatically40minutes
afterbrewing.Duringwarmingup,theBREWbutton
lightsupcontinuously.Youcanalsoswitchoffthehot
platemanuallybypressingandholdingtheBREW
buttonforlongerthan1second.
Iftheapplianceisnotused,itswitchesoffautomatically
after5minutes.Yourlastsettingsaresavedautomatically.
Youcanthenreactivatetheappliancebypressing
andholding(>1sec.)theBREWorGRINDbutton.
BypressingtheGRINDorBREWbuttonagainfora
longtime(>1sec.)youcanswitchfromthegrinding
tothebrewingfunctionorviceversa.
5. Descaling
Dependingonthehardnessofthewaterused,the
calcificationofthemachineincreaseseachtimeyou
brewcoffee.Theapplianceindicatesthisbyillumina-
tingtheCALCdisplayinred.Whenyouseethis,
descaletheunitassoonaspossible.Pleaseusea
commerciallyavailabledescaler.Werecommendthe
useofMelitta
®
“Anti Calc Liquid for Filter Coffee &
Aqua Machines“.
5.1 Descaling process
•Preparethedescalingliquidaccordingtothema-
nufacturer‘sinstructionsandpouritintothewater
tank.
•Placethejugonthehotplate.
•Activatetheappliancewithalongpress(>1sec)on
theBREWbutton,justasyouwouldwhenmaking
coffee.
•AsubsequentshortpressoftheBREWbutton
startsthedescalingprocess.Youdonotneedtotake
othersettingsintoaccountinthisprocess.
•Onceabouthalfoftheliquidhaspassedthroughthe
unit,stoptheprocessbybrieflypressingtheBREW
button.
•Wait10minutesfortheresidualdescalingliquidto
removelimescalefromthemachine.
•Thenactivatetheapplianceagainwithashortpress
ontheBREWbutton,andlettheremainingliquid
runthroughtheappliance.
•Whenyouhearabeep,pressandholdtheBREW
buttontoturnofftheappliance.
•Emptythejug.
5.2 Rinsing process after descaling
•Toremoveanyremainingdescalerresidue,the
machinemustberinsedafterdescaling.
•Afterashortcoolingtime,fillthewatertanktothe
8-cupmark.
•Activatetheappliance,switchitonandletallthe
waterrunthroughtheappliance.
•Whenyouhearabeep,pressandhold(>1sec)the
BREWbuttontoturnofftheappliance.
•Iftheappliancehasbeencompletelydescaled
duringthedecalcificationprocess,theCALClight
nolongerlightsupduringtherinsingprocess.Ifthe
CALClightdoeslightup,thecalcificationofthe
appliancewassoadvancedthatonedecalcification
processwasnotsufficienttocompletelydecalcify
theheatingelement.Inthisisthecaserepeatthe
decalcificationandrinsingprocess.
•Rinsetheglassjug.
6. Cleaning and care
6.1 External cleaning
•Switchoffthemachinebeforecleaninganddis-
connectthepowercable.
•Allowtheappliancetocoolcompletelybefore
cleaningit.
•Cleanthepartsthatcomeintocontactwithcoffee
(jug,filterholder,etc.)aftereachuse.
•Thehousingcanbecleanedwithasoft,dampcloth.
