Filling with water  
Important: When filling with water and during coffee  
preparation either the space compensator 4or the  
water filter cartridge Dmust be installed in the  
water container 3. Otherwise the water level indica-

Select dial 5can be adjusted in two different ways,  
both before you turn on the coffeemaker. With the

Carafe shortly. Remove the filter holder 8to empty

Brewing small amounts  
(1- 3 cups – 125 ml each)  
The space compensator 4in the water container 3  
takes up the space which is intended for the water  
filter cartridge D. Unless the water filter cartridge is  
installed in the water container, the space compen-  
sator must always be inside the water container  
when filling with water and brewing to avoid overfil-  
ling. Keep the space compensator as it has to be  
installed in the water container if you have to decal-  
cify your coffeemaker.  
If you prefer milder coffee with less bitter aftertaste,  
turn the AromaSelect dial 5in the direction of the  
symbol (b). Should you prefer a more stronger  
taste, turn the AromaSelect dial towards the

coffee will always have the same full coffee flavour
