Before you start preparing a new pot of coffee,

separately)
1.  Unpack the water filter cartridge 
 
%
 
.
2.  Remove the space compensator 
 
 
 from the water 
tank.
3.  Insert the water filter cartridge. (Be certain to keep 
the space compensator as it must be installed in 
the water tank whenever the water filter cartridge is 
removed.)
4.  The water filter should be exchanged every two 
months. To remind you, set the water filter exchange 
dial 
 
&
 
 so that the current month is shown in the left 
space (start month). The month you should replace 
the water filter will then be shown in the right space 
(end month). 
 
N.B.
 
Before using the coffeemaker for the first time, after a 
long period of not using it, or after installing a new water 
filter cartridge, run the coffeemaker through one brewing 
cycle using the maximum amount of cold, fresh water 
without any ground coffee.
 
II Making coffee
 
Fill tank with cold, fresh water, press filter push button 
 
Á
 
 
to open filter basket, insert a No. 4 paper filter, put in 
ground coffee, place the carafe on the hotplate 
 
È
 
 and 
switch on the coffeemaker 
 
Í
 
. For more convenience 
when filling with or disposing of ground coffee, the filter 
basket can be easily taken off its hinge. A drip-stop 
prevents dripping when the carafe is removed to pour 
a cup before brewing is finished. Carafe should be 
immediately returned to hotplate to prevent the filter 
basket from overflowing.
Brewing time per cup: approx. 1 minute. Amount of 
brewed coffee in the carafe will be below initial filling level 
as water is retained by ground coffee.
 
III Water filter
 
The water filter improves coffee flavor by removing 
chlorine, bad tastes and odors as well as scale. If the 
cartridge is replaced regularly (every two months), it 
provides not only better tasting coffee, but also can 
extend the life of your coffeemaker by preventing 
calcification. Braun water filters are available at your 
retailer or Braun service centre. 
 
IV Cleaning
 
Always unplug the appliance before cleaning. Never 
clean the appliance under running water, nor immerse 
it in water; only clean it with a damp cloth. 
The glass carafe and the filter basket are dishwasher-
safe. 
 
V Decalcifying 
 
(without illustrations)
 
If you have hard water and you use your coffeemaker 
without a water filter, it has to be decalcified regularly. 
When using the water filter cartridge and exchanging it 
regularly, you normally will not need to decalcify. How-
ever, if your coffeemaker takes much longer than usual to 
brew, it should be decalcified.
Important: Replace water filter with the space compen-
sator during any decalcification procedure.
You can use a commercially available decalcifying 
agent, which does not affect aluminum.
