prepare the filter coffee” without using ground coffee.  
Installation  
After removing the packaging, make sure the product is  
complete.  
If in doubt, do not use the appliance and seek the Customer  
Service authorised by the manufacturer. See enclosed  
guarantee leaflet.  
The packaging (plastic bags, polystyrene foam, etc.) should be  
kept out of reach of children as they are a safety hazard.  
Place the appliance on a work surface far away from water taps,  
basins and sources of heat.  
After positioning the appliance on the work top, leave a space  
of at least 5 cm between the surfaces of the appliance and the  
side and rear walls and at least 20 cm above the coffee maker.  
Never install the appliance in environments where the  
temperature may reach 0°C or lower (the appliance may be  
damaged if the water freezes).  
Make sure the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage  
indicated on the appliance rating plate.  
Connect the appliance to an efficiently earthed socket with a  
minimum current rating of 10A only.  
The manufacturer may not be considered liable for possible  
incidents caused by the failure to adequately earth the mains.  
If the power socket does not match the plug on the appliance,  
have the socket replaced with a suitable type by a qualified

How to prepare the filter coffee  
Open the door by pulling the handle (fig. 1) and by using the  
jug pour fresh water into the water compartment up to the  
level corresponding to the number of cups you want to make.  
Check the water level viewer. It is recommended to use the  
provided carafe as the measure, as the maximum volume of the  
carafe corresponds to that of the water tank (fig. 2).  
Place the permanent filter in the filter holder (if provided) of  
the paper filter in the filter holder (fig. 3).  
Place the ground coffee in the filter, using the measuring spoon  
supplied, and level evenly (fig. 4). 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 exceed  
the maximum quantity of 12 measures (models with glass  
jug) or 10 measures (models with thermal jug) to avoid the  
coffee spilling. The quantity of ground coffee used can vary  
according to personal taste. Use good quality medium ground  
coffee packaged for filter coffee makers.

Close the lid and place the jug on the plate (fig. 5).  
Models with thermal jug: Before placing the jug on the plate,  
make sure the lid is closed (fig. 6).  
Models with electronic control panel: you can enhance the  
flavor of your coffee by pressing the AROMA button.  
This feature activates a unique brewing process, slowly releasing  
water into the filter basket; saturating coffee grounds a little at  
a time, extracting the best flavor and aroma from your coffee.  
To activate, press the AROMA button; the light above the  
button will illuminate. Press the button again to turn the  
selection off. It is recommended to use the AROMA function if not  
brewing a whole carafe of coffee.  
Press the ON/AUTO/OFF button (fig. 7). The red light indicates  
that the coffee maker is in operation and the display shows  
“BREW”.  
Models with single switch: Press the "ON/OFF" switch (fig.  
8). The light on the button comes on to indicate that the drip  
coffee maker is operating.

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.  
Models with glass jug: If you leave the ON/OFF button pressed  
after percolation has finished, the plate will keep the coffee at the  
ideal temperature. The unit automatically shuts off after two  
hours.  
Models with thermal jug: To pour the coffee, turn the lid to  
the position shown in (fig. 9). To completely remove the lid  
from the jug, turn it to the position shown in (fig. 10).  
The appliance switches automatically off after brewing cycle.  
fig. 8  
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  
immediately, you are recommended to do so as rapidly as  
possible in order to avoid the coffee overflowing in the filter  
holder.

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  
appliance.  
Models with electronic control panel: When the "ON/AUTO/OFF"  
button flashes continuously, proceed with descaling.  
Models with single switch: It is recommended to descale the  
appliance after approximately every 60 uses.  
The descaling process may be performed using special  
commercially available scale removers for filter coffee makers.  
Follow the instructions provided with these products.  
1. Dilute the descaler in the carafe, following the directions on the  
packaging of the descaler.  
2. Pour the descaling solution in the water compartment;  
3. Place the jug on the warming plate, do not put any ground  
coffee 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. Let the solution work for 15 minutes, then repeat steps 4 and 5.  
6. Switch the coffee maker back on and filter the rest of the  
solution;  
7. To rinse the machine, operate it with water and without ground  
coffee at least 3 times (3 complete tanks of water).  
You are recommended to descale the coffee machine about every  
60 uses.
