Making Coffee

Before using the coffee maker for the first time, after a long period of not using it, run the coffee maker through a complete brew cycle without ground coffee. Use a full carafe (12 cups) of fresh cold water. This will remove any dust from the manufacturing process or residues that have remained in the unit

• Open the reservoir cover (5).
• When filling the water reservoir (3) with fresh cold water, refer to the carafe height markings or the water level indicator (inside the water reservoir) and fill to the desired number of cups.
• To prepare the exact amount of coffee for the Braun thermal mug (available separately as an accessory), fill the corresponding watermark (330 ml) inside the reservoir.
• Insert a paper filter (cone type # 4) in the filter basket (4).
• Alternatively, you can use the gold tone permanent filter which is available separately.
• Add the desired amount of ground coffee, corresponding to the number of cups being brewed. We recommend using 1 coffee measuring scoop of ground coffee per cup but use more or less to suit your taste.
• Close the water reservoir and place the carafe in its position on the keep warm plate (6).
• Plug the cord into an electrical outlet.
• Press the START button (a) to start brewing immediately or press TIMER (b) to commence brewing at the pre-set time.
• During brewing, the indicator light will flash continuously. Once the brewing cycle is complete, the light will turn solid green indicating the coffee maker is in «keep warm» mode.

NOTE:
The anti-drip system halts the flow of coffee from the filter basket when the carafe is removed, so a cup can be poured before brewing is finished. The carafe should be returned to the keep warm plate (maximum 20 seconds) to prevent the filter basket from overflowing.

For Best Results

• When using paper filters, be sure that it is completely open and fully inserted in the basket. It may help to fold and flatten the seams of the paper filter beforehand.
• Once the coffee has finished brewing, stir it before serving to blend the flavors. The coffee at the bottom of the carafe will be somewhat stronger than the coffee at the top.

Note:
The maximum amount of ground coffee the coffee maker can take is 11 coffee measuring scoops. Exceeding this amount may cause overflow.

Descaling

For the best performance from your Braun coffee maker, describe the unit when the LED CALC (c) lights up solid green. This indicates it is time to descale your coffee maker. To set water hardness see «Setting the Water Hardness Level». The removal of built-up calcium deposits from the water reservoir will help extend the life of your coffee maker and keep your coffee tasting great.

The frequency will depend upon the hardness of your tap water and how often you use the coffee maker. You can use a commercially available decalcifying agent not affect aluminum. We recommend using the Braun Descaling Solution (which can be purchased in stores, through the Braun website, or by calling Customer Service). Note: The entire cleaning cycle including rinsing can take up to 45 minutes to complete.

• Follow the package instructions of the decalcifying agent.
• Place the empty carafe in its position on the keep warm plate (6).
• Press the CALC button (c) to select the descaling program.
• The green LED above the button will start flashing.
• To start the descaling program press START (a). The green LED is still flashing.
• When the descaling program has been completed, the green LED (c) will turn off.
• Discard the cleaning solution and rinse the carafe thoroughly with clean water.
• Fill the water reservoir with a full carafe (12 cups) of clean, fresh water. Run the coffee maker through two complete brew cycles to flush the unit after descaling. Use a full carafe of fresh cold water each time.
• Repeat the procedure as many times as necessary to reduce the brewing time per cup to a normal level.

Cleaning and Maintenance

• Always turn the coffee maker off and remove the plug from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
• Lift the reservoir cover. Remove the paper filter and discard the ground coffee.
• Remove the carafe from the keep warm plate.
• The filter basket, carafe, and lid are dishwasher safe.
• Do not use any scouring agents or harsh cleansers on any part of the coffee maker.
• Never immerse the unit in water or other liquids.
• To clean the base, simply wipe with a clean, damp cloth and dry before storing.
• Do not put any water in the unit once the filter basket has been removed.
• Fingerprints and other blemishes on the housing can be wiped off with soap and water or a non-abrasive cleaning solution.
• Do not dry the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth, as lint may remain.
