[. . . ] This appliance is intended for domestic or similar applications, such as the - staff kitchens in shops, offices and other similar working environments, - agricultural working environments, - by customers in hotels, motels etc. This appliance may be used by children (at least 8 years of age) and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lacking experience and knowledge, provided they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance and fully understand all dangers and safety precautions involved. Children must not be permitted to carry out any cleaning or maintenance work on the appliance unless they are supervised and at least 8 years of age. The appliance and its power cord must be kept well away from children under 8 at all times. [. . . ] If correctly inserted, the lid will disable the drip-stop mechanism in the swing-out filter during the brewing cycle. Starting the brewing cycle: Put the plug into a suitable wall outlet and use the On/Off button to turn the coffee maker on. Removing the glass carafe: Wait until all the water has passed through the filter before the carafe is removed from the appliance. To keep the coffee hot for as long as possible, remove the aroma protection lid and use the screw-in lid to close the carafe. However, this is not necessary if your coffee maker has a dripthrough lid, which can remain on the carafe. Once the brewing cycle is complete, the appliance switches off automatically. Switching off the coffee maker: Always remove the plug from the wall outlet once brewing is complete. Interrupting the brewing cycle: The brewing cycle can be interrupted by pressing the On/Off button again. Coffee maker with drip-through lid During the filtering process and while pouring the coffee out, the drip-through lid does not need to be removed and should remain on the jug. To pour the coffee, turn the lid counter-clockwise about half a turn so that the arrow on the lid is aligned with the pouring spout. Therefore always hold the carafe in an upright position when filled with coffee. Keeping the coffee hot: A heatconserving carafe accumulates heat energy. Therefore the carafe should preferably be filled to its maximum capacity. If it is only partly filled, the temperature will not be held as efficiently. If you rinse out the carafe with hot water before use, the coffee will be kept warm for a longer time. The interior of the heat-retaining carafe insert consists of high quality double-walled glass with a vacuum in-between for better insulation. Any streaks or bubble marks inside the carafe looking like bubbles or scratches do not affect its functional use nor its heat-retaining ability. In case the glass is damaged for one or the other reason as mentioned below, there is a risk that the glass carafe implodes. This might happen quite some time after the glass carafe has actually been damaged. Therefore do not drink out of the carafe And do not put your hand into it. The coffee can be poured out easily by half a turn of the cap, without removing the cap. Do not leave the vacuum carafe unattended near where children may reach it.
