months. To remind you, set the dial 

&

 to the month 

that the water filter should be replaced. 

N.B.

Before using the coffeemaker for the first time, after a 
long period of not using it, or after installing a new water 
filter cartridge, run the coffeemaker through one brewing 
cycle using the maximum amount of cold, fresh water 
without any ground coffee.

II Making coffee

Fill tank with cold, fresh water, press filter push button 

Á

to open filter basket, insert a No. 4 paper filter, put in 
ground coffee, place the carafe on the hotplate and 
switch on the coffeemaker. For more convenience when 
filling with or disposing of ground coffee, the filter basket 
can be easily taken off its hinge. A drip-stop prevents 
dripping when the carafe is removed to pour a cup before 
brewing is finished. Carafe should be immediately 
returned to hotplate to prevent the filter basket from 
overflowing.

Brewing time per cup: approx. 1 minute. Amount of 
brewed coffee in the carafe will be below initial filling level 
as water is retained by ground coffee.

Model KF 550 is equipped with an automatic shut-off 
feature (auto-off). After two hours of operation the 
coffeemaker will automatically switch off.

III Water filter

The water filter improves coffee flavor by removing 
chlorine, bad tastes and odors as well as scale. If the 
cartridge is replaced regularly (every two months), it 
provides not only better tasting coffee, but also can 
extend the life of your coffeemaker by preventing 
calcification. Braun water filters are available at your 
retailer or Braun service centre. 

IV Cleaning

Always unplug the appliance before cleaning. Never 
clean the appliance under running water, nor immerse it 
in water; only clean it with a damp cloth. All removable 
parts are dishwasher-safe.

V Decalcifying 

(without illustrations)

If you have hard water and you use your coffeemaker 
without a water filter, it has to be decalcified regularly. 
When using the water filter cartridge and exchanging it 
regularly, you normally will not need to decalcify. How-
ever, if your coffeemaker takes much longer than usual to 
brew, it should be decalcified.

Important: Replace water filter with the space compen-
sator during any decalcification procedure.

• You can use a commercially available decalcifying 

agent, which does not affect aluminum.

• Follow the instructions of the manufacturer of the 

decalcifying agent. 

• Repeat the procedure as many times as necessary in 

order to reduce the brewing time per cup to a normal 
level. 

• Allow the maximum amount of fresh cold water to run 

through at least twice to clean the coffeemaker.

Best practices for best results

This coffeemaker is designed to deliver maximum coffee 
aroma. Therefore, Braun recommends:
• Use only fresh ground coffee.
• Store ground coffee in a cool, dry and dark place 

(e.g., refrigerator) in an airtight container.

• Use only Braun water filters and exchange every two 

months with regular use.

• Clean and decalcify coffeemaker regularly as de-

scribed in parts IV and V.
