The water filter improves coffee flavor by significantly reducing chlorine and also prevents calcification (scale) buildup. Provided that the cartridge is replaced 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 or Braun service centres. 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 (E). (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 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, run the coffeemaker through one brewing cycle using a maximum of 8 cups of cold, fresh water without any ground coffee. 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 prewarm the thermal carafe by rinsing with hot water. • To remove the lid, turn the grip anti-clockwise (a) and take it off. • To close it again, place it on the carafe with the grip located at 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 of 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 as long as you are pouring out. II Making coffee Fill the tank with cold, fresh water (d), press the filter basket release button (G) to open the filter basket (H), insert a 1x4 or No. 4 paper filter, put in ground coffee 6 and close the filter basket. Place the carafe on the carafe stand and switch on the coffeemaker. For more convenience, when filling with or disposing of ground coffee, the filter basket can be easily taken off its hinge (e). The drip stop feature prevents dripping when the carafe is removed to pour a cup before brewing is finished. Carafe should be immediately returned to its stand to prevent the filter basket from overflowing. Brewing time per cup: approximately one minute. Auto-off: For your convenience and also additional safety, the appliance will switch off automatically 15 minutes after switching on. If brewing takes longer and your coffeemaker automatically switches off, although there is still water in the water tank, it has to be decalcified (see IV). III Cleaning Always unplug the appliance before cleaning. Never clean the appliance under running water, nor immerse it in water. Clean the metal surfaces of the thermal carafe and filter basket with a damp cloth only (f). You may use small amounts of dishwashing liquid. Do not use steel wool pads or any abrasive cleaners. Never use any solvents such as alcohol and benzene. Do not clean the thermal carafe in a dishwasher. Use a soft brush, hot water and small amounts of dishwashing liquid to clean the carafe inside. After cleaning, rinse it with hot water. IV Decalcifying If you have hard water and you use your coffeemaker without a water filter, it has to be decalcified regularly. When using the water filter cartridge and exchanging it regularly, you ordinarily will not need to decalcify. However, if your coffeemaker takes longer than usual to brew it should be decalcified. Important: Replace water filter with the space compensator during any decalcification procedure. You can either use a commercially available decalcifying agent which does not affect aluminum or white household vinegar (4 - 5 % acid). a) If you are using decalcifying agent, follow the manufacturer's instructions. b) If you are using vinegar, please proceed as follows: Fill the tank to the 6 cup level with vinegar. Do not mix the vinegar with water or any other liquid. Turn on the coffeemaker and allow half of the vinegar to flow through. Switch off the appliance and leave for 10 minutes. Switch it on again and allow the rest of the vinegar to flow through. Repeat either procedure as many times as necessary in order to reduce the brewing time per cup to a normal level. Allow a maximum of 8 cups of fresh cold water to run through at least twice to clean the coffeemaker after decalcification. Best practices for best results This coffeemaker is designed to deliver maximum coffee aroma. Therefore, Braun recommends: • Use only fresh ground coffee. • Store ground coffee in a cool, dry and dark place (e.g. closed shelf or refrigerator) in an airtight container. • Use only Braun water filters and exchange every two months with re...
