Instructions for use

A) If your appliance comes tted with a plug, it will incorporate a 13 Amp fuse. If it does not t your socket, the plug
should be cut o from the mains lead, and an appropriate plug tted, as below.
WARNING: Very carefully dispose of the cut o plug after removing the fuse: do not insert in a 13 Amp socket el-
sewhere in the house as this could cause a shock hazard.
With alternative plugs not incorporating a fuse, the circuit must be protected by a 15 Amp fuse. If the plug is a
moulded-on type, the fuse cover must be re-tted when changing the fuse using a 13 Amp Asta approved fuse
to BS 1362. In the event of losing the fuse cover, the plug must NOT be used until a replacement fuse cover can be
obtained from your nearest electrical dealer. The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that as marked on
the base of the plug.
B) If your appliance is not tted with a plug, please follow the instructins provided below:

Please note: removing the jug before all the coee re-
quested has been delivered does not interrupt coee making,
but merely blocks ow into the jug. If you want to pour out a
little coee immediately, you should do so as rapidly as possible
in order to avoid the coee overowing.
Cleaning and maintenance
Before maintenance or cleaning of the appliance, turn o, un-
plug from the mains socket and allow to cool.

the descaler pack;
2. Pour the solution into the water tank;
3. Place the jug on the warming plate;
4. Press the ON/OFF button, percolate the equivalent of one
cup then turn the appliance o;
5. Leave the solution to work for 15 minutes, then repeat
operations 4 and 5.
