Thank you for choosing this coffee machine.To get the best

result out of your new coffee machine it is advisable to read

these instructions before using the appliance. This is the only

way to ensure optimum results and maximum safety.

Using for the first time

Before using the machine for the first time, wash all the acces-

sories in warm soapy water and rinse. For the best tasting coffee

the internal circuits mut be flushed through at least twice.To do

this, follow the instructions in the paragraph “How to prepare the

filter coffee” without using ground coffee.

Installation

• Place the coffee maker on a flat work surface at a safe distance

from taps and sinks.

• Check that the voltage corresponds to that indicated on the

appliance rating plate.The appliance must always be connected

to a correctly-earthed power socket (minimum rating 10A)

only.The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by inade-

quate earthing of the appliance.

• In the event of incompatibility between the plug on the appli-

ance and the socket, have the plug replaced by a qualified pro-

fessional.

• Never install the machine in environments where the tempera-

ture may reach 0°C or lower (the appliance may be damaged if

the water freezes).

•Please read safety warnings and electrical requirements (page 8

and 9) before operating this coffee maker.

•Adjust the exact time by pressing and at the same time turning

the knob clockwise (fig. 1).

Chlorine filter (if fitted)

The filter eliminates the taste of chlorine from the water. To install

the filter, proceed as follows :

•Remove the chlorine filter from the plastic bag and rinse it in

tap water.

•Lift the water tank lid and remove the chlorine filter holder

from its housing by lifting it upwards (fig. 2).

•Open the chlorine filter holder by pressing the parts marked

“PUSH” and carefully place the filter in the holder as shown in

fig. 3.

•Close the filter holder and replace it in its housing pushing it

fully down.

•The chlorine filter must be replaced every 80 uses, and alzays

after six months of operation.

How to prepare the filter coffee

•Lift the water tank lid and remove the tank (fig. 4)

•Fill the tank with fresh, clean water up to the level correspon-

ding to the number of cups of coffee required. Place the tank

back in the coffee maker pressing it lightly into place.The tank

may also be filled without being removed, using the coffee jug

marked with the level indicators (fig. 5).

•Open the filter holder by rotating towards the left (fig. 6).

•Place the permanent filter in the filter holder (fig. 7).

•Place the ground coffee in the filter, using the measuring spoon

supplied, and level evenly (Fig. 8). As a general rule, use a level

measuring spoon of ground coffee (around 7 grams) for each

cup (for example, 8 spoons to make 8 cups). Never use more

than 11 level spoons.The quantity of ground coffee used will

vary according to personal taste. Use good quality, medium

ground coffee, packaged for filter coffee makers.

•Close the filter holder, screw up tightly the jug lid and place the

thermal jug on the plate.

•Your appliance has an AROMA button.When this is pressed,

percolation of the coffee is slowed down to extract more of

the aroma.This is particularly recommended when preparing

from 1 to 6 cups.

• Press the "ON/OFF" switch (Fig. 9).The ON pilot light next to

the switch indicates that the coffee maker is in operation.

• The coffee will start to come out after a few seconds. It is

completely normal for the appliance to release a little

steam while the coffee is filtering.

•A beep indicates when the coffee is ready.

•To pour out the coffee, turn the lid anticlockwise until the (●)

symbol is lined up with the spout (fig. 10).

Attention: removing the jug before all the coffee is made does

not interrupt production of the coffee, but merely blocks flow

into the jug. If you want to pour out a little coffee immediate-

ly, you are recommended to do so as rapidly as possible in

order to avoid the coffee overflowing in the filter holder.

Models with thermal jug: to pour out the coffee, turn the lid anti-

clockwise until the (●) symbol is lined up with the spout (fig. 10).

Important: the timer enables you to have your coffee ready and

waiting whenever you want.

1Turn the knob until the red pointer indicates the time when you

want the coffee to be ready (fig. 11).

2Press the "Timer On" button.The corresponding light comes on

(fig. 12).

Important: the appliance has an electric clock. Make sure the appliance is

plugged into the mains electricity supply by watching the seconds pointer

turn.The appliance has a 12 hour clock, so programming must be for less

than this time.

Cleaning and maintenance

Before performing any cleaning or maintenance operations, turn

the machine off, unplug it from the power socket and allow it to

cool down.

1. When cleaning the coffee maker, do not use solvents or abra-

sive detergents.A soft, damp cloth is sufficient.

2. Never immerse the coffee maker in water: it is an electrical

appliance.

Cleaning the Flavour Saver

To clean the Flavour Saver more efficiently, it can be removed from

the filter holder by sliding it upwards (Fig. 14).To replace, simply

slide in from above.

Descaling

If the water in your local area is hard, lime scale will form over

time.These deposits may affect the correct operation of the appli-

ance.

The coffee maker must be descaled every 40 uses.The descaling

process may be performed using special commercially-available

scale removers for filter coffee makers.Alternatively, white wine

vinegar can be used as follows:

1. Remove the chlorine filter.

2. Pour 2 cups of white wine vinegar and 3 cups of water into the

tank. Place the tank in the coffee maker;

3. Place the jug on the warming plate, do not put any ground cof-

fee in the filter holder;

4. Press the filter coffee ON/OFF switch, filter the equivalent of

one cup and then switch off the appliance;

5. Leave the vinegar to act for one hour;

6. Switch the coffee maker back on and filter the rest of the solu-

tion;

7. To rinse the machine, operate it with water and without ground

coffee at least 3 times (3 complete tanks of water).

Electrical requirements

Before using this appliance ensure that the voltage indicated

on the product corresponds with the main voltage in your

home, if you are in any doubt about your supply contact your

local electricity company.

The flexible mains lead is supplied connected to a B.S. 1363 fused plug

having a fuse of 13 amp capacity. Should this plug not fit the socket out-

lets in your home, it should be cut off and replaced with a suitable plug,

following the procedure outlined below.

Note: Such a plug cannot be used for any other appliance and should

therefore be properly disposed of and not left where children might find

it and plug it into a supply socket - with the obvious consequent danger.

N.B. We recommend the use of good quality plugs and wall sockets that

can be switched off when the machine is not in use.

Important: the wires in the mains lead fitted to this appliance are

coloured in accordance with the following code:

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not

correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your

plug, proceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the

terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the earth

symbol or coloured green or green and yellow.

The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal

which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.

The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal

which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.

When wiring the plug, ensure that all strands of wire are securely

retained in each terminal. Do not forget to tighten the mains lead clamp

on the plug. If your electricity supply point has only two pin socket out-

lets, or if you are in doubt, consult a qualified electrician.

Should the mains lead ever require replacement, it is essential that this

operation be carried out by a qualified electrician and should only be

replaced with a flexible cord of the same size.

After replacement of a fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be refitted.

If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a replacement

cover is obtained.The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is

that of the coloured insert in the base of the fuse recess or elsewhere

on the plug. Always state this colour when ordering a replacement fuse

cover.

Only 13amp replacement fuses which are asta approved to B.S. 1362

should be fitted.

This appliance conforms to the Norms EN 55014 regarding the sup-

pression of radio interference.
