Read the instructions and keep them safe. Pass them on if you pass the coffee maker on. Remove all packaging, but keep it till you know the coffee maker works.
important safeguards
Follow basic safety precautions, including:
1The coffee maker must only be used by or under the supervision of a responsible adult. Use and store it out of reach of children.
2Don’t put the coffee maker in liquid, don’t use it in a bathroom, near water, or outdoors.
3Don’t touch hot surfaces (e.g. carafe, hotplate).
4The scald hazard lasts long after boiling. Keep the coffee maker and cable away from the edges of worktops and out of reach of children.
5Sit the coffee maker on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface.
6Route the cable so it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be tripped over or caught.
7This appliance must not be operated by an external timer or remote control system.
8Unplug the coffee maker when not in use, before moving and before cleaning.
9Fill with at least 2 cups of water, but not above the 10 mark.
10There’s a hole in the rear wall of the reservoir, to prevent overfilling.
11Put the carafe on the hotplate before switching the coffee maker on.
12Let the coffee maker cool for about 10 minutes before adding water or re–using, to avoid spitting.
13Don’t put the carafe in a microwave oven.
14Don’t try to adjust the metal band round the carafe, you’ll break the glass.
15Keep the coffee maker and the cable away from hotplates, hobs or burners.
16Don’t use accessories or attachments other than those we supply.
17Don’t use the coffee maker for any purpose other than those described in these instructions.
18Don’t use the coffee maker if it’s damaged or malfunctions.
19If the cable is damaged, return the coffee maker, to avoid hazard.
household use only before using for the first time
1 Fill the reservoir to the 10 mark, and run the coffee maker without coffee.
2Let it cool, discard the water, then use it normally.
3Turn to “the carbon filter” on page 6, and fit the carbon filter before using the coffee maker.
ground coffee
4If 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
5Coffee 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
6There’s a great deal of contention on the subject of milk in coffee. Our view is that personal taste should rule, not convention. 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
7If you use bottled water, check that it doesn’t contain flavourings, etc., and use still water, not sparkling. The carbon dioxide which gives the sparkle will affect the flavour of your coffee.
