User manual SEVERIN KA 4773

[. . . ] Do not allow the power cord to hang free; the cord must be kept well away from hot parts of the appliance. This appliance is not intended for use by any person (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lacking experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance. This appliance is intended for domestic use only and not for commercial applications. [. . . ] - Preparing the glass carafe: Fit the aroma protection lid onto the carafe, 9 and then place the carafe into the appliance. If correctly inserted, the lid will disable the drip-stop mechanism in the filter holder during the brewing cycle. - Starting the brewing cycle: Insert the plug into a suitable wall outlet and use the On/Off switch to switch 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. - Switching off the coffee maker: Always switch off the appliance after use and remove the plug from the wall socket. Heat-retaining carafe - For technical reasons the screw-in lid does not close hermetically. 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. To prevent damage to the glass carafe: - Avoid shocks and great differences in temperature. Descaling Depending on the water quality (lime content) in your area as well as the frequency of use, all thermal household appliances using hot water need descaling (i. e. removal of lime deposits) on a regular basis to warrant proper functioning. [. . . ] Rinse the inside of the carafe with water and wipe the outside with a clean damp cloth after use. To remove coffee deposits from the inside of the carafe, fill it with hot water and add a teaspoon of dishwasher detergent. Rinse out thoroughly with water afterwards. Disposal Do not dispose of old or defective appliances in domestic garbage; this should only be done through public collection points. Guarantee This product is guaranteed against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of two years from the date of purchase. [. . . ]
