The taste of the coffee can be optimised by pressing the
AROMA button (Q). This function enables a process of per-
colation which releases the water in the filter more slowly.
Filtering a little at a time improves the flavour and aroma
of  the  coffee.   To  enable  the  function,  press  the  aroma
button (the light on the button comes on). To disable the
function, press the button again. You are recommended to
use the AROMA button when you do not want to make a
full jug of coffee.
•  In models with glass jug:  if you leave the   button (J)
pressed after percolation has finished, the plate will keep
the  coffee  at  the  ideal  temperature. The  appliance  goes
off automatically 40 minutes after coffee delivery ends. To
turn the plate off press the   button (J) button again.
•  For a new brewing cycle switch off the appliance pressing
on/off button and restart .
•  Models with thermal jug: to pour the coffee, turn the lid
to the position shown in fig. 10. To remove the lid comple-
tely, turn the lid to the position shown in fig. 11. After per-
colation has ended, the appliance goes off automatically.
•  For a new brewing cycle switch off the appliance pressing
button (J) button and restart .
Please note: removing the jug before all the coffee re-
quested has been delivered does not interrupt coffee making,
but merely blocks flow into the jug. If you want to pour out a
little coffee immediately, you should do so as rapidly as possible
in order to avoid the coffee overflowing.

controls only)

To programme when you want the appliance to make coffee:
•  Press the SET TIMER button (P) and hold it down until the
time you want the coffee maker to come on is reached.

the setting has been memorised, then the current time is
displayed.

Cleaning and maintenance 
Before maintenance or cleaning of the appliance, turn off, un-
plug from the mains socket and allow to cool.
•  Do not use solvents or abrasive detergents to clean the cof-
fee maker. Just wipe with a soft damp cloth.
•  Never immerse the coffee maker in water. It is an electrical
appliance.
•  The water tank filter (S) can be reached through the in-
spection door (T). Clean when necessary.
Descaling
If the water in your area is hard, limescale builds up over time.
These deposits may affect correct operation of the appliance.
You  are  recommended  to  descale  the  coffee  maker  every  60
coffee making cycles.
Models  with  electronic  controls  only:  When  green  light
flashes on the aroma button (Q), (about every 60 cycles) you
have to descale the appliance. To reset the descaling alarm press
the two buttons aroma and set clock at the same time. The gre-
en light will be power off.
To descale, always use special commercially available descaling
products for drip coffee makers.
1.  Dilute the product in the jug, following the instructions on
the descaler pack;
2.  Pour the solution into the water fill compartment;
3.  Place the jug on the warming plate;
4.  Press the ON/AUTO/  button (O) /   button (J), percolate
the equivalent of one cup then turn the appliance off;
5.  Leave  the  solution  to  work  for  15  minutes,  then  repeat
operations 4 and 5.
6.  Turn the appliance on and deliver the water until the tank
is completely empty.
7.  Rinse by operating the appliance with water only at least 3
times (3 complete tanks of water).
Failure to clean as described above invalidates the guarantee.
