Specifications
Mains voltage: 230 V
Power input: 1400 W
Note: Your fully automatic coffee centre has a cord storage compartment – if the power cord is too long, any surplus can be accommodated in the storage area on the rear of the machine (fig. 1/S).
2.1 Preparing the machine
→ Carefully remove the machine and all parts from the packaging.
Note: If you need to return your machine for servicing, it can be sent by post in the original packaging. Please keep all packaging and protective material for this purpose.
→ Remove the water reservoir (fig. 1/C and 2) and wash it out with clean, cold tap water.
→ Then fill the reservoir up to the “max.” mark and replace it in the machine. Make sure that it clicks into place.
Note: Only ever fill the reservoir with fresh, cold water. Do not use carbonated water or other liquids!
→ Open the lid of the coffee container (fig. 1/A) and fill it with coffee beans.
Note: Do not use beans which have been treated with supplements, such as sugar, during or after the roasting. Supplements can damage the grinding mechanism and any repair costs arising as a result are not covered by the guarantee.
Please make sure the steam / hot water valve control knob (fig. 1/N and 5) is turned to '0'!
2.2 Getting started
→ Plug the machine in.
→ Switch the mains supply on (fig. 1/R). The On / Off button (fig. 1/E) lights up.
→ Press the On / Off button (fig. 1/E) for about 1 second. The ‘Beans’ symbol appears in the display and the On / Off button (fig. 1/E) light flashes.
→ After a short time the On / Off button (fig. 1/E) light remains on, while the steam / rinse button 'S' (fig. 1/M) light flashes.
→ Place a cup under the height-adjustable coffee spout (fig. 1/G and 3) and press the steam / rinse button ‘S’ (fig. 1/M).
→ The system is then filled with water and completely rinsed out via the coffee spout (fig. 1/G). This operation must always be carried out when the machine is started from cold to preserve the aroma of the coffee. It ensures that no stale water or coffee left over from previous brews is used.
→ All four operating buttons (fig. 1/E, F, M, O) then light up, and the selected coffee strength is shown in the display by the cor responding number of beans (fig. 4).
→ The machine is now operational.
Note: As a protective measure, the pipes are not filled with water when the machine is first operated. The machine indicates this as follows:
→ When the machine has been turned on with the On / Off button (fig. 1/E), Symbol 16 ‘Open hot water / steam valve’ flashes.
→ Place a cup under the steam / hot water jet (fig. 1/Q).
→ Turn the steam / hot water valve control knob (fig. 1/N and 5) to the right to open the valve. The system then fills up and some water may come out of the jet (fig. 1/Q).
→ As soon as the symbol ‘Water / Steam Open / Close’ (Symbol 16) lights up without flashing and the filling operation has stopped automatically, you can turn the valve control knob (fig. 1/N and 5) back again to close it.
→ Then follow the steps in '2.2 Getting started'.
→ The machine is now operational.
2.3 Grinder settings
Caution: Grinder settings can only be adjusted when the grinder is in operation. You can adjust the grinder settings to suit the roast of your coffee beans. We recommend that you leave the grinder on a medium setting.
→ Slide the regulator on the rear side (fig. 1/P) into the desired position while the grinder is running. The smaller the dot, the finer the coffee is ground. Remember:
- a light roast requires a finer grind
· a dark roast requires a coarser grind
Try out the different settings to find the one that best meets your personal preferences.
Note: The machine is preset for immediate use. However, we recommend that first you adjust the most important settings to suit your personal needs. Please follow the instructions in chapter 4 (Programming functions) for filter, temperature and water hardness settings.
Note: When the machine is brand new or has not been used for an extended period, the first cup of coffee does not have the full aroma and should not be drunk.
3.1 Select water quantity
You can freely select the quantity of water used by turning the water quantity control knob (fig. 1/D and 4). The little cup bottom left represents less water, the large cup bottom right represents more water.
Tip: The water quantity can be adjusted while the machine is running. Try out various cup sizes and quantities to find the setting that best suits your personal preferences.
3.2 Selecting coffee strength
There are three levels of coffee strength to which you can adjust the brewing unit. They are shown in the display as follows:
MILD, symbol 9, '1 bean' uses about 7g of ground coffee e.g. for cafe latte or cappuccino NORMAL, Symbol 10, '2 beans' uses about 9g of ground coffee e.g. for American coffee
STRONG, Symbol 11, '3 beans' uses about 11g of ground coffee e.g. for espresso or very strong coffee.
→ As soon as the machine is operational, the display shows the default setting (Symbol 10, '2 beans').
→ You can change this by pressing and holding the 1-cup or 2-cup button (fig. 1/F, O) until the desired coffee strength appears in the display (fig. 1/B). Brewing begins as soon as you release the button.
Caution: Pressing / releasing the button automatically starts the brewing operation!
3.3 Making one cup
→ Place your (pre-heated) cup under the coffee spout (fig. 1/G and 3). The coffee spout is height-adjustable and can be raised or lowered to suit the cup size.
→ Select the water quantity setting as described in 3.1.
→ Press and hold the 1-cup button (fig. 1/F) until the desired coffee strength appears. Then release the button.
→ The machine now starts the grinding, pre-brewing and brewing operation. It can be stopped at any time by pushing any button.
Caution: The first time you brew coffee, the grinding chamber is still empty. The symbol for ‘not enough beans’ (Symbol 12, ‘3 beans’) may therefore start to flash after the first grinding and no coffee is produced. If this occurs, press the ‘start’ button (1 or 2-cup, fig. 1/F or 1/O) a second time and the operation is repeated.
Tip: To determine the ideal quantity of water for your taste or cup size, make your first cup of coffee as follows:
→ Turn the water quantity control knob (fig. 1/D and 4) to one of the following positions:
- middle for an espresso cup,
- far right for a large cup.
→ Press the 1-cup button (fig. 1/F).
→ The machine starts brewing.
→ Shortly before the desired amount of coffee is reached, turn the water quantity control knob (fig. 1/D and 4) slowly to the left, until the machine stops brewing.
→ For future use, note where the water quantity control knob is now pointing.
3.4 Making two cups of coffee
In the 2-cup operation, two cups of coffee are produced consecutively.
→ Place both (pre-heated) cups under the coffee spout (fig. 1/G and 3).
→ Select the desired water quantity settings for one cup (fig. 1/D and 4).
→ Press and hold the 2-cup button (fig. 1/O) until the desired coffee strength appears in the display.
→ Release the button.
→ The machine now starts the grinding, pre-brewing and brewing operations and produces two consecutive cups of coffee.
Tip:
- Brewing can be stopped at any point by pressing any button.
- If the water or beans supply runs out or the trays need emptying between brewing the first cup and the second, the appropriate symbol will appear in the display (Symbol 12, 13 or 17) and the second coffee will no longer be made. Follow the display screen and then press the 1-cup button (fig. 1/F) for the second cup.
3.5 Using pre-ground coffee
→ First turn the water quantity control knob (fig. 1/D and 4) to the desired level for 1-cup.
→ Open the lid of the pre-ground coffee chamber (fig. 1/K and 7). Symbol 14 flashes.
→ Add a level measuring spoon of ground coffee and close the lid again (Symbol 14 stops flashing and is lit up).
→ Place a cup under the coffee spout (fig. 1/G and 3) and press the 1-cup button (fig. 1/F). A cup of coffee is now brewed without grinding.
Note: If the pre-ground coffee chamber is left open by accident or no button is pressed after coffee is added, the machine will automatically ask to be rinsed out a minute after the lid is closed. Press the flashing rinse button (fig. 1/M) to confirm, and the machine will be rinsed out via the coffee spout (fig. 1/G and 3). It is then operational again.
Caution: The pre-ground coffee chamber is not a storage container. Never add more than one measure at a time to the chamber, and use only fresh grinded or vacuum-packed coffee ground. Do not use instant coffee powder.
3.6 Drawing hot water
→ Hold a cup under the steam / hot water jet or ‘spumatore’ (fig. 1/Q).
→ Note: When drawing hot water from the ‘spumatore’ (fig. 1/Q on models numbered 620 and

Manual descaling
If required, the descaling program can be started and run as described above even if no indication has been displayed by the machine that this is necessary. See point 5.3.
5.4 General cleaning
Caution: Never submerge the machine in water! Do not use abrasive materials to clean the machine. Do not put the re - movable components of the machine in the dishwasher.
→ Wash the case inside and out with a soft, damp cloth only.
→ Empty the drip tray (fig. 1/J) and the used coffee tray (fig. 1/T) only when instructed to do so by the display. Always empty the used coffee compartment when it is removed. Occasionally use soapy water to clean.
→ Empty the used coffee tray thoroughly whenever the machine has been switched off at the mains power switch (fig. 1/R).
→ When the red fill level indicator for the drip tray (fig. 1/l) becomes visible, please remove, empty, clean and replace the drip tray.
→ The water reservoir (fig. 1/C and 2) should be rinsed out and filled up with fresh cold water on a daily basis.
→ It is hard to remove dried milk left on the jet (fig. 1/Q) after frothing. Please therefore clean the equipment as soon as it has cooled down – ideally repeat the steam drawing operation in a cup with fresh, cold water and wipe with a damp cloth.
→ Note: From time to time, the steam jet should be completely unscrewed, dismantled into pieces and given a thorough clean under flowing water.
Cleaning the brewing unit
If required, the brewing unit can be removed and cleaned under running water. Please only use water to do this, not cleaning agents!

→ Unlock the brewing unit by pressing the red switch and turning the handle to the left until it blocks (fig. 9). Stand-by button and steam warm-up button flash.
→ Withdraw the brewing unit carefully by the handle (fig. 9).
→ Wash the brewing unit under running water and then let it dry.
→ Carefully replace the brewing unit and lock by pressing the red lever switch and turning the handle to the right until it clicks.
→ Now only the Stand-by button remains lit.
→ Replace the cover.
→ Press the Stand-by button to restore the machine to normal operating mode.

Protecting the environment

Electric and electronic appliances often contain valuable or harmful materials which should not be processed in the same way as normal household waste. If incorrectly processed, they can harm human health and the environment. Please therefore do not put your machine in the dustbin with normal waste. Instead submit it to the “collection point for the disposal and recycling of electric and electronic appliances” provided by your local council. You can obtain further information from your local council, the waste collection services or the specialist retailer who sold you the product.

Your love of coffee is here to stay.
