5. Easy remove and insert the filter by using the side-
wise handles. Replace the filter basket into the appli-
ance. The notch at the top of the filter basket needs
to show to the back of the appliance. Press the filter
basket carefully down until it “clicks“ into place.
6. Fold the seamed edges of a suitable coffee filter bag (size: 1 x 4), and carefully coat the
interior of the filter basket with the filter bag.
Note: Ensure not to damage the filter bag. Always use a single filter bag that will not protru-
de from the filter basket, but fills out the filter basket completely. Ensure that the filter bag is not
bended or folded. Use a fresh filter and fresh coffee powder for each brewing cycle.
CAUTION: Do not overfill the filter bag to avoid that the coffee will overflow to the brim of
the filter basket. Do not use more than 12 level measuring scoops of coffee.
7. Put coffee powder into the filter.
8. Close the lid of the coffeemaker.
WARNING: Ensure the glass carafe is correctly placed on the warming plate. The cover of
the coffeemaker and the lid of the glass carafe must be closed during opera-
tion. Otherwise, hot water and steam could spit out, and the Pause & Serve mechanism will
not open. If the Pause & Serve mechanism is still closed the coffee will overflow over the brim
of the filter basket and drip onto the base of the appliance.
The coffeemaker and the glass carafe get very hot during the brewing cycle. Please handle
with care. DO NOT lift the cover of the appliance during or immediately after the brewing
cycle. Even if no water is draining from the filter basket, extremely hot water/coffee can spill
out from the filter basket and cause scalding. Do not move the coffeemaker during or immedia-
tely after operation.
9. Press the ON/OFF button to switch on the coffeemaker and start
the brewing cycle. Additionally the heating element of the warming
plate is activated. The indicator lights of the ON/OFF button and the
BREWING button illuminate. The display shows12:30. This implies
that the display switched to a count-down-timer from 12:30 to 0:00.
Ensure that water/coffee is dripping from the filter basket several seconds after switching ON
the coffeemaker. If not, check whether the glass carafe is correctly in place. If the problem still
persists, IMMEDIATELY unplug the unit and wait for10 minutes before opening and checking
the filter basket.
The brewing time depends on the amount of water in the water reservoir. A brewing time of
12 minutes and 30 seconds is expected for 12 cups of coffee. The warming plate will keep
your coffee warm for up to 2 hours. Thereafter, the appliance switches OFF automatically.
Tip: When the brewing cycle needs noticeably too much time but at least after 3 months, you
should decalcify your coffeemaker. Doing so, you will save energy and avoid that the taste of
your coffee will be affected by lime deposits. (See: “Decalcifying Your Coffeemaker“)
Connected to the power supply, the appliance uses a little amount of electricity, even when
switched OFF. Do not leave the appliance connected to the power supply needlessly.
