Caution
• Please read the use instructions carefully and
completely before using the appliance.
• This appliance must be kept out of reach of
children.
• Before plugging into a socket, check that your
voltage corresponds with the voltage printed on
the bottom of the appliance.
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug
will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
• Never place the thermal carafe on a hotplate or
other heated surfaces, as this would damage the
carafe base.
• Caution: During and after operation, the metal
surfaces will get hot. Avoid touching hot surfaces,
especially the carafe base, to prevent burns or
scalds. Always use the handle to carry the carafe
and keep it upright.
• Do not use the thermal carafe in a microwave.
• Never submerge the thermal carafe in water, nor
clean it in a dishwasher.
• Before you start preparing a new carafe of coffee,
always allow the coffeemaker to cool down for
approximately five minutes (switch off the ap-
pliance), otherwise steam can develop when filling
the water tank with cold water.
• Braun electric appliances meet applicable safety
standards. Repairs on electric appliances (inclu-
ding cord replacement) must only be carried out
by authorized Braun service centers. Faulty,
unqualified repair work may cause accidents or
injury to the user.
• This appliance was constructed to process normal
household quantities.
• Always use cold water to make coffee.

Using the cord storage feature (1), you can adjust the
cord length by pulling it out of or pushing it into the
opening in the back of the coffemaker.
Water filter benefits and installation
The water filter improves coffee flavor by significantly
reducing chlorine and also prevents calcification
(scale) buildup. Provided that the cartridge is re-
placed regularly (every two months), it not only brews
better tasting coffee, but can also extend the life of
your coffeemaker by preventing calcification buildup.
Braun water filter cartridges are available at your
local retailer, Braun service centers or
www.theessentials.com.
Installing the water filter cartridge
1. Unpack the water filter cartridge (E) and follow the
instructions given on the pack.
2. Remove the space compensator (B) from the
water tank.
3. Insert the water filter cartridge. (Be certain to keep
the space compensator as it must be installed in
the water tank whenever the water filter cartridge
is removed.)
4. The water filter should be exchanged every two
months. To remind you, set the water filter ex-
change dial (F) to the month that the water filter
should be replaced.
Note:
Before using the coffeemaker for the first time, after a
long period of not using it, or after installing a new
water filter cartridge, fill the water tank with water not
more than 8 cups of fresh, cold water and run the
coffeemaker through one brewing cycle without any
ground coffee in the filter basket.
Thermal carafe
The thermal carafe (K) is made of high-quality, double
walled, vacuum stainless steel. In order to create the
best heat-retention environment, it is essential to pre-
heat the thermal carafe by rinsing with hot water.
•
To remove the lid, turn the grip counter-clockwise
(a) and lift it off.
• To close it, place it on the carafe with the grip
positioned to the right of the carafe handle (b) and
turn it clockwise until it locks into place.
• During brewing, the coffee runs through a special
opening in the closed lid.
• If you want to serve coffee after brewing is
finished, press the raised end of the silver lid grip
(c) and keep it pressed down during pouring.
