13 Don't put the carafe in a microwave oven.
14 Don't try to adjust the metal band round the carafe, you'll break the glass.
15 Keep the appliance and the cable away from hotplates, hobs or burners.
16 Don't use accessories or attachments other than those we supply.
17 Don't use the appliance for any purpose other than those described in these
instructions.
18 Don't use the appliance if it's damaged or malfunctions.
19 If the cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent,
or someone similarly qualified, in order to avoid hazard.
before using for the first time
1 Fill the reservoir to the max mark, and run the appliance without coffee.
2 Let it cool, discard the water, then use it normally.
ground coffee
3 If you want to buy ready-ground coffee, medium-ground filter coffee will give you
the best results. The amount will vary with the type of coffee and your individual
taste. We suggest starting with two rounded teaspoons of medium-ground coffee
per cup.
storing coffee
4 Coffee is best kept in an airtight container in a cool dry place, or in the fridge.
Exposure to air oxidises coffee and allows the flavour to evaporate.
milk
5 If you like milk in your coffee, use warm or hot milk, to avoid overcooling the coffee.
To extract maximum flavour from the coffee, it should be cool enough not to scald
or burn the mouth, but hot enough to let the flavour fill the mouth, nose and
sinuses, not just the taste buds.
bottled water
6 If you use bottled water, check that there are no added ingredients, flavourings, etc.,
and use still water, not sparkling. The carbon dioxide which gives the sparkle will
adversely affect the flavour of your coffee.
taste
7 Don't be tempted to reheat coffee in the appliance. You'll damage the appliance
and the coffee will be undrinkable.
8 Clean the filter holder, filter, and carafe after each use. Residue from a previous brew
will spoil your coffee.
preparation
9 Sit the appliance on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface.
10 Route the cable so it doesn't overhang, and can't be tripped over or caught.
11 Don't plug it in yet.
filling
12 If it's just been used, check that the light is out. If it's not, press the [ button till it
goes out (press once in manual mode, twice if AUTO is showing).
13 Let the coffee maker cool down for at least 10 minutes.
