Detailed instructions for use are in the User's Guide.
[. . . ] 20 Keep the coffee maker, carafe, and cable away from hotplates, hobs, and burners. 22 Don't use the coffee maker if it's damaged or malfunctions. 23 If the cable or plug is damaged, return the coffee maker, to avoid hazard.

done
20 When the brewing process has finished, the hotplate will stay on for 2 hours to keep your coffee hot, then it'll switch the hotplate off, and the [ light will go out.
pouring
21 To pour, remove the carafe from the hotplate, and pour from the spout. 23 You may notice some resistance when you replace the carafe this is caused by the top of the carafe pushing against the non-drip valve.
a quick cup
24 You may remove the carafe to pour coffee at any time. This may not sound much, but its more than enough time to pour a couple of cups. 26 When the carafe is empty, press the [ button to switch the hotplate off. 27 Unplug the coffee maker and let it cool down fully before cleaning, or for 10 minutes before refilling. caution beware of steam when you open the lid

ground coffee
28 If you want to buy ready-ground coffee, medium-ground filter coffee will give you the best results. The amount will vary with the type of coffee and your individual taste. We suggest starting with two rounded teaspoons of medium-ground coffee per cup.
storing coffee
29 Coffee is best kept in an airtight container in a cool dry place, or in the fridge. Exposure to air oxidises coffee and allows the flavour to evaporate.
milk
30 There's a great deal of contention on the subject of milk in coffee. If you like milk in your coffee, use warm or hot milk, to avoid overcooling the coffee. To extract maximum flavour from the coffee, it should be cool enough not to scald or burn the mouth, but hot enough to let the flavour fill the mouth, nose and sinuses, not just the taste buds.

bottled water
31 If you use bottled water, check that there are no added ingredients, flavourings, etc. , and use still water, not sparkling. The carbon dioxide which gives the sparkle will adversely affect the flavour of your coffee.
taste
32 Don't be tempted to reheat coffee in the coffee maker. You'll damage the coffee maker and the coffee will be undrinkable. 34 If left for much more than an hour, chemical changes in the coffee liquor start to affect the flavour. It's best to pour it away and make a fresh pot.
care and maintenance
35 Unplug the coffee maker and let it cool down fully. 37 Use the filter handle to lift out the filter, then tip the used coffee grounds into the bin. 38 Use the tab on the filter holder to lift the filter holder out of the coffee maker. 40 Wash the filter, filter holder and carafe in warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly and dry. [. . . ] To replace the plug, fit the green/yellow wire to E or E, the blue wire to N, and the brown wire to L. Don't use a non-rewireable plug unless the fuse cover is in place. If you remove the plug, dispose of it.
