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/B and 2) and wash it out with cold, fresh 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 fill the reservoir with fresh, cold water. Do not use carbonated water or other liquids.

→ Open the lid of the coffee container (fig. 1/N) and add 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/Q and 7) is turned to '0'!

2.2 Getting started

→ Remove the plug from the power cord compartment (fig. 1/V) and plug the machine in.
→ Switch the mains supply on (fig. 1/S). The On / Off button (fig. 1/F) lights up.
→ Press the On / Off button (fig. 1/F). „SYSTEM HEIZT“ (“SYS. IS HEATING”) appears in the display.
→ After the machine has warmed up, the service button (fig. 1/l) flashes. The instruction „BITTE SPÜLEN“ (“PLEASE RINSE”) flashes in the display.
→ Now place a cup under the height-adjustable coffee spout (fig. 1/J and 5) and press the service button (fig. 1/l). The system is then filled with water and completely rinsed out via the coffee spout (fig. 1/J and 5).
→ The machine is now operational.

Note: Please see point 4.5 to change language!

Note: For manufacturing reasons, the machine hoses may still be empty when the machine is first operated. The machine indicates this as follows:

→ After the machine has been switched on using the On / Off but-

ton (fig. 1/F), “FILL UP PIPE-SYS” and “TURN VALVE” appear alternately in the display.

→ Open the steam / hot water control valve (fig. 1/Q and 7) by turning knob to the right. The system now fills up and some water may come out of the jet (fig. 1/T).
→ As soon as the “TURN VALVE” signal reappears, you can turn the valve control knob (fig. 1/Q and 7) back to the left to shut.
→ After the machine has warmed up, the service button (fig. 1/I) flashes. The instruction “PLEASE RINSE” flashes in the display.
→ Press the service button (fig. 1/I) and the system is rinsed out via the coffee spout (fig. 1/J and 5).
→ 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 to suit the roast of your coffee beans. We recommend that you leave the grinder on a medium setting.

→ Open the lid of the bean container (fig. 1/N).
→ Turn the control knob (fig. 1/M and 3) to 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 preference.

2.4 Using the cup-warming function

Your fully automatic coffee centre CafeRomatica is equipped with a ‘passive’ cup-warming function – the operating heat of the machine is transferred to the cup-warming plate on top of the machine to warm any cups placed there (only when the machine is turned on).

Model NICR 740 only: This machine is equipped with a high-quality ‘active’ cup-warming function which can be switched on and off independently by pressing the “cup warming” button (fig. 1/L and 10) on the side of the machine, provided that the machine is either switched on or in stand-by mode (the mains supply switch fig. 1/S must be switched on).

The cup-warming function can be switched off by pressing the “cup-warming” On / Off button (fig. 1/L and 10) a second time.

The light in the switch indicates whether the warming function is switched on or off.

Use the warming function to optimise the temperature and aroma of your coffee to suit your personal preference.

Note: The machine is preset for immediate use. However, we recommend that first you adjust the most important settings to suit your personal preferences. Please follow the instructions in chapter 4 (“Settings / program functions”) for language, filter, 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 Selecting coffee strength

There are three levels of coffee strength to which you can adjust the machine. They are shown in the display screen as follows:

"MILD", about 7g of ground coffee, e.g. for café latte or cappuccino "NORMAL", about 9g of ground coffee, e.g. for American coffee "STRONG", 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 “NORMAL”.

→ You can change this setting by pressing the button (fig. 1/E and 6) repeatedly until the desired coffee strength appears in the display (fig. 1/A and 4).

3.2 Selecting water quantity

You can freely select the quantity of water used by turning the water quantity control knob (fig. 1/D and 6), the dot scale indicating the current setting. The little cup bottom left represents less water, the large cup bottom right represents more water.

→ The selected quantity of water is displayed in the upper line of the display screen.
→ Water quantity can be adjusted in 10ml steps from 20ml to 240ml by turning the water quantity control knob from left to right.

20ml to 70ml for espresso or cap- puccino

80ml to 130ml for American coffee 140ml to 240ml for café latte

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 meets your personal preference.

3.3 Making one cup of coffee

→ Place your (pre-heated) cup under the coffee spout (fig. 1/J or 5). The coffee spout is height-adjustable and can be raised or lowered to best suit the cup size.
→ Set the water quantity and coffee strength.
→ Press the 1-cup button (fig. 1/G).
→ The machine now starts the grinding and brewing operation.

The brewing operation can be cancelled at any point by pressing the 1-cup (fig. 1/G) or 2-cup button (fig. 1/H).

Caution: The grinding chamber is empty the first time you brew a coffee. “FILL BEANS” may therefore appear in the display after the first grinding, and no coffee is brewed. If this occurs, simply press the 1-cup button (fig. 1/G and 6) again 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 6) to one of the following positions:

- ‘100ml’ for a small (espresso) cup. - ‘240ml’ for a large cup.

→ Press the 1-cup button (fig. 1/G).
→ The machine starts brewing.
→ Shortly before the desired amount of coffee is reached, turn the water quantity control knob (fig. 1/D and 6) slowly to the left, until the machine stops running.
→ You can now read in the display how much water is required for your desired cup / coffee quantity.

3.4 Making two cups of coffee

In the 2-cup operation, two cups of coffee are brewed consecutively.

→ Place both (pre-heated) cups under the coffee spout (fig. 1/J and 5).
→ Select the desired coffee strength and water quantity sett - ings for one cup (with the buttons see fig. 1/D and 1/E).
→ Press the 2-cup button (fig. 1/H).
→ The machine now starts the grinding and brewing operation and produces two consecutive cups of coffee.

Note:

• The brewing operation can be stopped at any point by pressing the 1-cup (fig. 1/G) or 2-cup buttons (fig. 1/H).
• If the water or beans supply runs out or the trays need emptying be tween brewing the first cup and the second, the appropriate message will appear in the display and the second coffee will not be made. Follow the display screen and then press the 1-cup button (fig. 1/G) for the second cup.

3.5 Using pre-ground coffee

→ First turn the water quantity control knob (fig. 1/D and 6) to the desired amount for one cup.
→ Open the lid of the pre-ground coffee chamber (fig. 1/0).
→ Add a level measuring spoon of ground coffee and close the lid again. “POWDER READY” appears in the display.
→ Place a cup under the coffee spout (fig. 1/J and 5) and press the '1-cup' button for one cup (fig. 1/G).

Note: If the pre-ground coffee chamber is left open by accident or the '1-cup' button is not

pressed after ground coffee is added, the machine will automatically be rinsed out via the coffee spout (fig. 1/J and 5) a minute after the lid is closed. 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 or vacuum-packed coffee ground from beans. Do not add instant coffee powder!

3.6 Drawing hot water

(e.g. for making tea)

→ Hold a cup under the jet (fig. 1/T).
→ Turn the steam / hot water valve control knob (fig. 1/Q and 7) to the right. Hot water comes out of the jet and the display reads "HOT WATER"
→ Fill the cup up to the desired level and turn the valve control knob (fig. 1/Q and 7) back to '0'.

Caution: Risk of scalding!

Watch out for splashes. The jet becomes very hot during use. Leave to cool for a few minutes before touching, or only touch the plastic parts.

3.7 Drawing steam

→ Then press the steam warm-up button (fig. 1/P and 7).
→ As soon as the system is ready, "STEAM IS READY" and "TURN VALVE" appear alternately in the display.
→ Hold a container with the liquid to be heated under the jet (fig. 1/T).
→ Dip the jet (fig. 1/T) into the container with the liquid to be heated.
→ Make sure that the ‘spumatore’ control knob (fig. 11a) is pointing to the neutral position (steam symbol).
→ Turn the steam / hot water valve control knob (fig. 1/Q and 7) to the right. Caution: A little water will come out before the steam.
→ The operation is completed by turning the control knob back to 'O' (fig. 1/Q and 7).

Note:

- Steam can be drawn for about 2 minutes. Then the machine will automatically switch the operation off. You can prolong the operation by turning the control knob (fig. 1/Q and 7) back and forth.

- Caution: Risk of scalding!

The steam which comes out is very hot. Only touch the black plastic parts of the jet.

- It is hard to remove dried milk left on the jet after frothing.

There fore clean the equipment as soon as it has cooled down – ideally repeat the steam drawing operation with fresh, cold water in a cup.

3.8 Frothing milk, hot milk and cappuccino

With the special ‘spumatore’ / frothing device (fig. 1/T and 8) you can heat up milk straight from the carton or container and then froth it into the cup.

→ Dip the inlet hose (fig. 11f) straight into the milk carton or container.
→ Place a cup under the ‘spumatore’ jet (fig. 1/T and 8).
→ Then press the steam warm-up button (fig. 1/P and 7).
→ As soon as the system is ready, "STEAM IS READY" and "TURN VALVE" appear alternately in the display screen.

→ For cappuccino: now turn the ‘spumatore’ control knob (fig. 11a) to the left so that it points to ‘cappuccino’.

→ For hot milk, turn the ‘spuma-tore’ control knob (fig. 11a) to the right so that it points to ‘café latte’.

→ Now turn the steam / hot water valve control knob (fig. 1/Q and 7) slowly to the right.

→ As soon as the desired amount of milk foam or hot milk has been drawn, turn the steam / hot water valve control knob (fig. 1/Q and 7) back to the left into the '0' position.

→ Press the steam warm-up button again (fig. 1/P and 7).
→ Now place the cup with the frothed up or hot milk under the coffee spout (fig. 1/J and 5) and fill with coffee as explained above.

Caution: It is hard to remove dried milk left on the jet after frothing. Therefore clean the equipment as soon as it has cooled down!

→ To do this, fill a container with cold clean water, and dip the inlet hose into it.
→ Place an empty container under the ‘spumatore’ jet (fig. 1/T and 8).

→ Now draw steam (as described in points 3.7 and 3.8) until only clean water / steam comes out. → Now the whole ‘spumatore’ mechanism is clean and operational again.

Cleaning: For optimal cleaning the ‘spumatore’ must be dismantled from time to time and its parts rinsed under fresh, cold water. The ‘spumatore’ is easy to take apart and reassemble (see fig. 11).

Note: Steam can be drawn for about 2 minutes. Then the machine will automatically switch the operation off. You can prolong the operation by turning the control knob (fig. 1/Q and 7) back and forth.

The function keys under the text display screen are used to program functions (fig. 1/A and 4):

P = Programming mode

ok = Confirmation key

exit = Cancel or end programming

Important: Please note that you can only program functions if the On / Off button (fig. 1/F) is switched to ON (stand-by mode, display lit up).

The following functions are programmable:

• Operation with / without filter
- Water hardness
- Temperature
- Language
- Time
- On / Off time (timer and automatic stand-by)

4.1 Filter

Inserting a filter

A special filter for the water reservoir is included in the machine accessories. If you use this filter correctly you will not need to descale your coffee machine as often (recommended: descale about twice per year, see point 5.4, 'descaling'). You must change the

filter setting to “FILTER YES” so that the machine knows that the filter has been inserted. The de-fault setting is “FILTER NO”.

The current setting is indicated in the display screen.

→ Press the program key ‘P’ to enter programming mode.
→ Press the > key until “PROGRAM FILTER” appears in the display.
→ Press the 'ok' key.
→ Press the > key until “FILTER YES” appears in the display.
→ Press the 'ok' key to confirm.
→ “FILTER CHANGE” and “TURN VALVE” appear alternately in the display.
→ Empty the water tank (fig. 1/B and 2) and screw the filter into the bracket provided in the water reservoir using the assembly tool on the end of the measuring spoon.
→ Fill up the reservoir with fresh water and put it back in the machine.
→ Hold a container under the steam / hot water jet (fig. 1/T) and turn the control knob (fig. 1/Q and 7) to the right to open. The system will now be rinsed out.

→ Wait until no more water comes out of the jet for a short time and turn the control knob (fig. 1/Q and 7) back to the left to close.

(Caution: If water continues to come out of the jet after a short while, the system is also ready. If this occurs, turn the control knob back to the left anyway.)

→ The system briefly warms up (“SYS. IS HEATING” appears in the display), and is then operational again.

→ Note: The service button (fig. 1/I) may still flash. Press the button (fig. 1/I) and the system will briefly be rinsed out through the coffee spout (fig. 1/J and 5).

Important: If you use a filter for your machine and have changed the function setting to “FILTER YES” the water hardness and manual descaling functions will no longer be shown. The filter loses its efficiency after processing about 50 l of water (for changing filter, see chapter 5.2).

Caution: If the machine is rarely used and the “FILTER CHANGE” signal does not appear in the display, the filter must be re-

placed anyway after no longer than two months (see chapter 5.2 "Washing filter manually").

Operating without a filter:

If you no longer wish to use a filter, the filter setting must be changed back to “FILTER NO”. This is important, as without a filter the machine must be descaled (the machine is delivered in the default setting “FILTER NO”).

→ Press the program key 'P' to enter programming mode.
→ Press the > key until “PROGRAM FILTER” appears in the display.
→ Press the 'ok' key.
→ Press the > key until “FILTER NO” appears in the display.
→ Press the ‘ok’ key to confirm. The display reads: “PROGRAM FILTER”.
→ You can now either continue in programming mode to change other function settings or press ‘exit’ to leave programming mode.

Note: Do not forget to set the water hardness now (see point 4.2).

4.2 Water hardness

Depending on the water hardness in your region, or if you have not inserted a filter (see chapter 4.1), the machine needs descaling sooner or later. So that the system can indicate correctly when des - caling is necessary, you must enter the correct water hardness settings before the first use.

The default setting is level 3.

First, test your water with the test strips provided:

→ Dip the strip into the water and then shake it lightly off.
→ After about a minute you can read the result by counting the red dots on the test strip.
→ The settings corresponding to the different levels of hardness are as follows:

Test strip / hardness level = Display

1 red dot / 1–7°
= "HARDNESS LEVEL 1"
2 red dots / 8–14°
= "HARDNESS LEVEL 2"
3 red dots / 15–21°
= "HARDNESS LEVEL 3"
4 red dots / > 21°
= "HARDNESS LEVEL 4"

Note: If none of the dots turn red on the test strip, please set level 1.

→ Press the program key ‘P’ to enter programming mode.
→ Press the > key until “PROGRAM W. HARD.” appears (it will not appear if the filter setting is on “FILTER YES” – see chapter 4.1).
→ Press the 'ok' key.

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.
