The markings apply for the amount of
fresh water.
The quantity of coffee produced is
lower as the ground coffee absorbs
water.
0 Insert paper filter.
Insert a size 1x4 paper filter in the fil-
ter holder (figure 1/E). Please fold the
perforated edges before doing this.
0 Fill in ground coffee.
Please use ground coffee, medium
grind. The quantity of coffee is matter
of personal taste. For an average strong
coffee one measuring spoon (approx.
6-7 g) is sufficient per cup.
0 Close the lid (figure 1/D).
0 Place the coffee jug complete with lid
onto the warming plate.
0 Switch on the appliance with the
ON/OFF switch (figure 1/A).
The pilot lamp lights up. After a few
seconds, hot water flows into the filter.
When the water has stopped flowing,
the appliance automatically switches
to the warming mode.
1 After use the appliance must be
switched off by hand.
0 Remove the jug.
While boiling, the jug must not be
1
removed for longer than 30 seconds or
the filter will overflow.
Once the jug has been removed, the
filter valve prevents coffee from drip-
ping onto the warming plate. The
warming plate always keeps the coffee
hot. It remains on until the appliance is
switched off with the ON/OFF switch
(figure 1/A) and the pilot lamp goes
out.
To guarantee uniform coffee strength

it should be stirred in the coffee jug
after preparation.
If the water has stopped flowing and

you wish to refill water for a fresh jug
of coffee, switch the appliance off and
allow it to cool down for a few minutes.

Cleaning and Care

1 Unplug the power cord from the mains
socket before cleaning.
0 To clean the filter holder, swing up the
handle and remove the filter holder
(figure 4).
0 To clean the filter valve thoroughly,
activate it several times while it is
being rinsed.
0 Replace filter holder and swing handle
down (figure 4).
0 Clean the appliance with a damp cloth
but never immerse it in water!
3 Coffee jug and jug lid are dishwasher
proof.
Descaling - making your coffee
maker last longer
As a precautionary measure, we recom-
mend descaling every three months.
Only use an environmentally friendly
descaler and follow the instructions on
the packet. Please do not use a descaler
with a concentrated formic base, or
any descaler in powder form.
We recommend to use only original
3
decalcifying tabs from Electrolux
(PNC 900 195 537/7).
Fill the water reservoir with water and
only then add the descaler. Not vice
versa! Place the coffee jug with its lid
onto the warming plate. Allow the des-
caler to take effect for about 15 min-
utes, then switch the appliance on.
Switch it off when the descaler solution
has finished flowing through. If neces-
sary repeat the descaling process. Fol-
lowing this, allow the appliance to run
at least twice with plain water. Thor-
oughly rinse the coffee jug, lid and fil-
ter holder under running water, activate
the filter valve repeatedly during the
rinse process.
