IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed
including the following:
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
INTENDED FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces.
Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electric shock,
do not place cord, plugs, or appliance
in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when
any appliance is used by or near
children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use
and before cleaning. Allow to cool
before putting on or taking off parts,
and before cleaning the appliance.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions, or has been
damaged in any manner. Return appli-
ance to an authorized service facility
for examination, repair or adjustment.
7. The use of an accessory not recom-
mended for use with this appliance
may cause injuries.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of
table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or
electric burner, or in a heated oven.
11. Do not use appliance for other than
intended use.
12. Scalding may occur if the lid is
removed during the brewing cycle.
13. The carafe is designed for use with
this appliance. It must never be used
on a range top.
14. Do not set a hot carafe on a wet or
cold surface.
15. Do not use a cracked carafe or a
carafe having a loose or weakened
handle.
16. Do not clean carafe with cleansers,
steel wool pads, or other abrasive
material.
Please note the Warning on the bot-
tom of the appliance:
«To reduce the risk of fire or electrical
shock, do not remove this cover.
No user serviceable parts inside.
Repair should be done by authorized
service personnel only.»
A short power cord is provided to reduce
risks resulting from becoming entangled
in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer detachable power supply cords
or extension cords are available and may
be used if care is exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used follow these
guidelines:
A. The marked electrical rating should be
at least as great as the electrical rating
of the appliance.
B. If the appliance is of the grounded
type, the extension cord should be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord.
C. The longer cord should be arranged
so that it will not drape over the coun-
tertop or table top where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over.

Caution
Read all instructions carefully before using this
product.
Keep this appliance out of children’s reach!
Before plugging into a socket, check whether your
voltage corresponds to the voltage printed on the
bottom of the appliance.
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in
a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit
fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to
defeat this safety feature.
The hotplate heats up when the appliance is switched
on. Avoid touching it and never let the cord touch it.
The cord of this appliance can only be changed by an
official Service dealer, since it requires a special tool.
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 first time, or when the coffeemaker
has not been used for some time, fill the water
container to the maximum level with cold water (i.e.
without coffee grounds and without a paper filter) and
allow to flow through. The coffeemaker is equipped
with a cord storage facility
1
.
Maximum cups
10 cups (0.125 l/20.3 fl. oz each)
Filling with coffee grounds
Swing out the filter basket
2
and insert a No. 4 paper
filter. Put coffee grounds (not ground too finely) into
the paper filter
3
and close the filter basket again
2
,
letting it snap in place.
Measure coffee grounds according to strength
desired.
Filling with water
Pour cold water into the water container to the
number of cups desired
5
(see cup measuring scale
in the container
4
).
Note:
The scale divisions on the glass carafe indicate
the amount of coffee that will be brewed. The
difference between the scale divisions on the carafe
and the cup measuring scale inside the water
container is due to the amount of moisture remaining
in the coffee grounds.

Making coffee
Switch the coffeemaker on (see «Switch»).
Brewing time is approx. 1 minute per cup.
The «drip stop» prevents dripping when lifting off the
carafe or opening the filter basket.
To make coffee, the carafe with the lid on must be set
on the hotplate and the filter basket must be snapped
in place (due to the «drip stop»). If you should forget to
do so, a built-in overflow feature will protect the filter
basket from overflowing.
Remove the filter basket to empty grounds (8) (see
«Cleaning»).
Keeping the coffee hot
The carafe rests on a hotplate that starts to heat up
when the coffeemaker is switched on; it stays turned
on until the coffeemaker is switched off (pilot light
goes out).
The appliance is protected against overheating by
several special safety components.
Cleaning
Always pull the plug out of the socket before cleaning.
The appliance must never be cleaned under running
water and must never be immersed in water. Swing
out the filter basket, push up, then pull off downward
diagonally
8
. To replace, insert the top first. To clean,
take the lid off the carafe
7
.
The glass carafe, the lid and the filter basket can be
washed in the dishwasher. Clean all other parts with
a damp cloth only. Put the lid back on the carafe
7
.
Clean the hotplate with liquid cleansers only. Do not
use abrasive cleansers.
Decalcifying
If you have hard water, decalcify the appliance
occasionally. The frequency depends on the hardness
of your water and how often you use the coffee maker.
Whenever your coffeemaker takes much longer than
normal to brew, the appliance should be decalcified.
To decalcify your Braun coffeemaker, only use straight
vinegar (in 5 % solution). Pour 1/2 liter of straight
vinegar into the water container.
Set the glass carafe with lid on the hotplate, snap the
filter basket (without paper filter) in place and switch
on the appliance. Let half of the straight vinegar flow
through. Switch off the appliance and leave for about
10 minutes. Then switch on the appliance again
allowing the residues to flow through.
Repeat this procedure as many times as necessary
until the flow rate returns to normal (approx. 1 cup/
minute). Use a clean vinegar solution for each cycle.
Run two cycles of clean water through the unit to
return to normal.
Subject to change without notice.
