Important
This appliance was constructed to process normal
household quantities. Always use cold water to make
coffee. Warm water or other liquids could cause
damage to the coffeemaker.
Before using the rst time, or when the coffeemaker
has not been used for some time, ll the tank to the
maximum number of cups with cold water and without
coffee grounds and without a lter.
Turn on and allow the water to ow through, then
discard and ll with clean water.
After a brewing cycle is nished, switch off the
appliance and allow the coffeemaker to cool down
for 5 minutes approximately. Otherwise steam can
develop when pouring cold water into the water tank
which might cause scalding.
Your Braun FlavorSelect coffeemaker is designed
to use any lter size 4. However
, only Braun reusable
lters designed for the FlavorSelect series will t
properly. Caution other brand reusable lters may
not be properly sized to your Braun FlavorSelect cof-
feemaker.

Pour cold water into the tank to the number of
cups of coffee desired. To do this, lift the tank cover
and pour the cold water into the tank.
The amount of water is shown on the water level indi-
cator (KF 140, KF 145 maximum 10 cups;
KF 152, KF 157 maximum 12 cups).
Pre-selecting the taste – flavor selector
By adjusting the avor selector , you can adjust the
taste of your coffee to suit your personal preference
milder with less bitter aftertaste or stronger, but
always with the same full avor. Set the avor selec-
tor under the tank cover before turning on the coffee-
maker.
If you prefer milder coffee with less bitter aftertaste,
turn the avor selector in the direction of the
symbol (b). Should you prefer a more robust taste,
turn the avor selector towards the symbol.
Regardless of the position you select, the coffee will
always have the same full avor.

(KF 145, KF 157)
min-3 (cups):
Even small quantities (to 3 cups) will maintain the
right temperature and avor. The yellow pilot light
lights up.
4-max (cups):
Larger quantities (4 and more cups) will maintain the
right temperature and avor.
Making coffee
Place the carafe with the lid onto the hotplate and
snap the lter basket in place. Switch the coffee-
maker on (see on/off switch). Brewing time is approx.
50 seconds per cup (including dripping). The pause
and serve feature allows you to pour a cup in mid-
brewing cycle and prevents coffee from dripping on
the hotplate when removing the carafe from the
hotplate. The brewing, however, continues when the
pause and serve feature is activated. The carafe
should be immediately returned to the hotplate after
pouring to prevent the lter basket from overowing.
To make coffee, the carafe with the lid snapped on
(d) must be set on the hotplate and the lter bas-
ket must be snapped in place (a). Due to a built-in
overow protection feature, the liquid in the lter will
ow directly into the carafe if you forget to snap the
lter basket in place or put the lid on. The carafe
must be on the hotplate for the overow protection
to work.
Remove the lter basket to empty grounds (see
«Cleaning»).
Keeping the coffee hot
The carafe rests on the hotplate which begins to
heat up when the coffeemaker is switched on and
will keep the coffee hot until the coffeemaker is
switched off (red pilot light goes out).
KF 145, KF 157:
If you want to keep more than
4 cups of coffee hot, set the cups selector to
position 4-max, or less
than 4 cups to position
min-3. In this way even small quantities will be kept
at the right temperature and the avor will be pro-
tected.
For KF 140 auto-of
f only:
Auto-off feature
The appliance is protected against overheating by
several special safety components and an automatic
shut off feature. This means that the coffeemaker
will automatically be switched off after 2 hours and
the red pilot light will go out. If you want to start your
coffeemaker again, rst turn the switch to off = «»
and then turn the appliance on. The red pilot light
will light up again.
Space compensator
The space compensator in the tank takes
up the space which is intended for the water lter
cartridge . Unless the water lter cartridge is
installed in the tank, the space compensator must
always be inside the tank when lling with water and
brewing to avoid overlling. Kee
p the space com-
pensator as it has to be installed in the tank if you
have to decalcify your coffeemaker.
Water filter cartridge
(only with KF 145 and KF 157 models)
This water lter cartridge is only to be used with
municipally treated tap or well water that is regularly
tested to be microbiologically safe (max. 85°F).
It gives you purer tasting coffee by removing chlorine,
bad tastes and odors as well as scale. Provided the
cartridge is regularly replaced, it provides not only
better tasting coffee, but also can increase the life of
your coffeemaker by preventing calcication.

Installing the water lter cartridge
Unpack the water lter cartridge . Then put the l-
ter cartridge for 10 minutes in a receptacle lled with
water.
Remove the space compensator from the tank
and replace it by the water lter cartridge. Make sur
e
to keep the space compensator as it could be needed
if you do not use the water lter any longer at a future
point in time or for decalcication.
After having installed a new water lter cartridge
always run a cycle of the maximum number of cups
of clean cold water through the unit before brewing
coffee.
In order to ensure the proper functioning of the
lter cartridge, exchange it after 2 months of regu-
larly using the coffeemaker. In order to remind you
to replace the lter in time, you may set the dial
incorporated in the tank cover to the month when
the cartridge has to be exchanged.
Dial for water
lter exchange
After having installed a new lter cartridge, set the
dial for 2 months later by turning it from the
reverse side of the tank cover.
Cleaning
Always turn the coffeemaker off and pull the plug
out of the outlet before cleaning. Swing out the lter
basket and pull it off upwards from the lter sup-
port bracket (e). To replace, set the rectangular
opening in the rim of the lter basket on top of the
nose of the lter support bracket until the lter
basket snaps in place (e).
To wash, take the lid off the carafe (d). The carafe, lid
and lter basket can be cleaned in the dishwasher.
All other parts should be cleaned with a damp cloth
only. After cleaning, put the lid back on the carafe
(d).
Clean the hotplate with liquid cleansers only. Do
not use abrasive cleansers. The coffeemaker must
never be cleaned under running water and must
never be immersed in water.
The lter support bracket can be taken off for
cleaning. Swing it out, push it up and pull it off diag-
onally downwards (f). To replace, insert the top rst.
Decalcifying
If you have hard water and you use your coffeemaker
without a water lter, it should be decalcied regu-
larly. When using the water lter cartridge and
exchanging it regularly, you normally will not need to
decalcify. However, if your coffeemaker takes much
longer than normal to brew, the appliance should be
decalcied.
Notice:
Replace the water lter with the space
compensator for any decalcifying procedure.
The avor selector must be set to the symbol
for decalcifying.
You can either use a commercially available decalci-
fying agent which does not
affect aluminum or white
distilled vinegar (available at foodstores).
1. Follow the instructions of the manufacturer of the
decalcifying agent.
2. Repeat this procedure as many times as
necessary until the ow rate returns to normal
(approx. 50 seconds per cup including dripping).
Use a newly prepared decalcifying solution for
each cycle.
3. After decalcifying run at least two cycles of the
maximum number of cups of clean cold water
through the unit before brewing coffee.
If you are using white distilled vinegar, please pro-
ceed as follows:
1. Fill the tank to the 6 cup level with the white
distilled vinegar. Do not mix the vinegar with
water or any other liquid.
2. Set the carafe with the lid in place on the hot-
plate, snap the lter basket (without a lter) in place
and turn on the appliance.
3. Allow half of the vinegar to ow through.
4. Switch off the appliance and leave for 10 minutes.
5. Switch on the appliance again and allow the rest
of the vinegar to ow through.
6. Repeat this procedure as many times as neces-
sary until the ow rate of the coffeemaker returns
to normal (approx. 50 secs. per cup). Use fresh
vinegar for each cycle.
7. After decalcifying run at least two cycles of the
maximum number of cups of clean cold water
through the unit before brewing coffee.
Specications are subject to change without notice.
