Your fully automated coffee machine guarantees you Absolute ease of operation both in making coffee and in maintenance and care. The excellent, individual taste is achieved by The pre-brewing system: before the coffee is brewed, it is first moistened to extract its full aroma The individually controllable amount of water per cup, from a short espresso to a „long“ milky coffee The individually controllable temperature, at which the coffee is made The choice between a normal or a strong cup of coffee The grinding texture – adjustable to the roast of the coffee beans, and Last, but not least, the guaranteed crema, that small crown of froth that makes espresso-coffee so unmatchable for connoisseurs Did you know? The time the water is in contact with the ground coffee is considerably less for espresso coffee than conventional filter coffee. As a result, less bitterness is released from the ground coffee– making espressocoffee that much milder!

Making Coffee with Beans 6.2 Select Cup Size The following process for making coffee with beans runs completely automatically: Grinding, portioning, pressing, pre-brewing, brewing, ejection of the coffee grounds. The facility to select the grinding texture and the coffee quantity allows you to individually set up the coffee machine to your own personal taste. Depending on your taste, select a „short“ espresso or a „long“ milky coffee. For this press the „Cup Size“ key (Fig. 3, until the desired cup symbol is selected or the desired cup size is indicated on the display. The cup sizes are indicated as follows: «CUP SMALL» Espresso cup Ensure that you use only pure coffee beans with no caramelised or aromatised additives. Do not use frozen beans. «CUP MEDIUM» Coffee cup «CUP LARGE» Coffee mug The bottom line in the display shows the coffee quantity. The procedure for changing this is described in the following section. Filling the Coffee Bean Container Turn the bean container to the „Coffee Beans“ position (Fig. 10). The mechanism sets to the required function Set the grinding texture (Fig.11). Using the grinding texture adjustment (Fig. 2, V) you can set the grinding texture of the grinder. Note! Before putting beans into the coffee machine for the first time, you can set the grinding texture once with the grinder stationary. Once the grinder has been filled with beans, the setting can be changed only while grinding is proceeding. Otherwise the coffee machine could be damaged. The grinder is factory-set to a medium grinding texture. Notes on changing the grinder setting can be found in „Setting the Grinding Texture". Raise the lid of the coffee bean container, and fill the container with fresh coffee beans (Fig. 12). Then reclose the lid. Note! Make sure that no foreign bodies, such as stones, enter the coffee bean container. Damage caused by foreign bodies in the grinder is excluded from the guarantee. The machine is set to standard quantities at the factory. Instructions for changing the set coffee quantities are to be found under „Programming the cup measure and the coffee quantity".

The top line in the display indicates the cup size. The instructions for selectig a different cup size are contained in the previous section. To save having to select the coffee quantity every time you switch on the coffee machine, you can permanently save the coffee quantity in relation to the cup size. Instructions are to be found under „Programming the cup measure and the coffee quantity".

Setting the number of cups and dispensing coffee Place one or two cups under the coffee dispenser. The dispenser can be slid up or down to match the height of your cup/mug to reduce heat loss and coffee splashes (Fig. 13). If the height adjuster is stiff, proceed as described under „Cleaning the height adjustment“. Press the key „1 or 2 cups of coffee“ (Fig. 3, b) once or twice in order to select 1 or 2 cups. The display shows «1 CUP» or «2 CUPS». If you have selected «2 CUPS», the key lights up. Press the „OK“ key (Fig. 3, g). The coffee is now made. Please note that the appliance brews in the two cup operation two cups of coffe one after another. Remove the cups not till both brewing processes are complete. While the 2 CUP procedure is running, the OK key indicator is flashing. In the coffee-making process, the ground coffee is first of all wetted with a small quantity of water for prebrewing. Following a short pause, the actual brewing process commences. You can prematurely stop the coffee being dispensed at any time by briefly pressing the previously actuated „OK“ key (Fig. 3, g) once again. This is indicated in the display with «BREAK».

If you have not dispensed coffee for a long period of time with the machine switched on, you should rinse the system before dispensing again. Start the rinsing with the „Rinse“ key (Fig. 3, e), the display shows «UNIT RINSES». With this additional rinsing phase the brewing unit is brought back to the initial coffee dispensing temperature. New brewing unit allows only to fill in 1 measuring spoon or ground coffee. Making Ready-ground Coffee This function allows you to brew preground coffee, e.g. decaffeinated coffee. Note that you must use only the supplied measuring spoon, and never put more than 1 level measuring spoon of ground coffee into the ground coffee filler. Note! Make sure that no ground coffee has remained in the filler, and that no foreign bodies enter the filler. The ground coffee filler is not a storage container. The ground coffee must be fed directly into the coffee-making unit. If the brewing unit is overfilled, the machine indicates a fault; the display then shows «CLEAN BREWING UNIT» and «SWITCHES OFF UNIT» alternately. For instructions on cleaning the brewing unit, see „Cleaning the Coffee-making Unit“. Do not put any water-soluble or freeze-dried instant powders or any other drink powder into the ground coffee filler. Coffee powder, which is too fine, can lead to blockages.

Filling the ground coffee filler

Turn the coffee bean container to the „Ground Coffee“ position (Fig. 14). The mechanism sets to the required function. When using ready ground coffee, the „Coffee Quantity“ function is inactive. So no coffee quantity signal lamps light. Open the lid of the ground coffee filler, and spoon in the 1 measuring spoon of the fresh ground coffee (Fig. 15). Do not add coffee during the brewing process. Only put in ground coffee for the next cup when the brewing process has completely finished and the coffee machine is ready. Close the lid.

Selecting cup size See „Select Cup Size". Frothing Milk The steam can be used to froth milk and to heat liquids. Since a higher temperature is needed to produce steam than to make coffee, the coffee machine has an additional steam mode. To make a cappuccino, fill a large cup 1/2 to 2/3 full with espresso, and then add the frothed milk. Caution! Danger of scalding when the steam nozzle is activated! Hot water or steam output can cause scalding. Do not activate the steam nozzle until it is immersed in the milk. To produce steam, press the „Steam Pre-selector“ key (Fig. 3, a) . The indicator illuminates; the „Unit heats“ indicator (Fig. 3, i) can also flash and the display shows «UNIT HEATS». When the heating process is finished, the „Unit heats“ indicator (Fig. 3, i) lights continuously the display shows

«STEAM READY – OPEN STEAM

NOZZLE». The machine is ready for the milk frothing. If the steam function is not used for longer than 1minute, the machine switches back automatically to the coffee mode. Pour low-fat, cold milk into a mug which must be small enough to fit under the steam nozzle. The milk should be cold. You should also use a cold mug, preferably a stainless steel one which should not be rinsed beforehand in hot water. Swing out the steam nozzle and hold the mug under the steam nozzle so that the nozzle opening is just immersed in the milk.

Attention! Impurities from dried milk residues in the steam nozzle. Take care not to immerse the steam nozzle in the milk far enough to cover the air intake opening at the top of the steam nozzle. Otherwise milk can be sucked into the nozzle and cause impurities in the steam nozzle. Turn the Selection dial for steam and hot water (Fig. 1, D) to the position (Fig. 16). The display shows the steam process (indication «STEAM»). The milk is frothed. Hold the mug steady during the frothing. The nozzle should not be allowed to touch the bottom of the mug and 9 cut off the steam supply. Froth the milk to at least twice its volume. To end the frothing, turn the Selection dial for steam and hot water (Fig. 1, D) to the position and then remove the vessel (Fig. 16). The display returns to the steam readiness indication (indication «STEAM READY – OPEN STEAM NOZZLE»). Caution! Danger of scalding from hot milk spray! Switch the steam off, before removing the mug with the frothed milk. Exit the steam mode by pressing the „Steam Pre-selector“ key (Fig. 3, a) or wait ca. 60 sec., for the machine to automatically return to the coffee mode; the indication is extinguished. Now the machine is once again ready for making coffee; the last selected coffee setting is shown in the display. Each time you have frothed milk, let off some hot water through the nozzle for a short time by setting the Selection dial for steam and hot water (Fig. 1, D) to the position. This is necessary to prevent milk residues drying inside the nozzle, and thereby blocking it. Use a suitable container to catch the water. During this process the display shows «HOTWATER». Then return the Selector dial to the position ; the last selected coffee setting is shown in the display. Remove the frothing aid after each use (Fig.17). For this, take hold of the frothing aid by the black seal and disengage the bayonet connector by turning it slightly anticlockwise.5LQVH off the milk residues under running water. Wipe the steam nozzle with a damp cloth. Caution! Danger of burns from the frothing aid! Hold the frothing aid only by the black seal. Preparing Hot Water The hot water can be used to pre-heat cups and for making hot drinks, e.g. tea or instant soups. Caution! Danger of scalding when the hot water nozzle is activated! Hot water or steam output can cause scalding. Activate the hot water nozzle only when a container is under the hot water nozzle. Place a container under the hot water nozzle. Set the Selection dial for steam and hot water (Fig. 1, D) to the position (Fig. 18). Hot water is ready; the display shows «HOTWATER». After you have dispensed the hot water turn the Selection dial for steam and hot water (Fig. 1, D) back to the position (Fig. 18) and remove the container.

Programming the cup measure and the coffee quantity The coffee machine is factory-set to standard measures. These measures can be individually changed to your own taste and saved for each cup size.

13.2 Cleaning the height adjustment

To ensure consistent coffee quality and faultless operation, always keep your coffee machine clean.

13.1 Regular Cleaning

Caution! Before cleaning, switch off the coffee machine and allow it to cool down. Do not use any abrasive, scouring or corrosive cleaning materials. Wipe the inside and outside of the case only with a damp cloth. Note! Never put the coffee machine or separate parts of the coffee machine in the dishwasher. Note! Never put water in the coffee bean container, as this would damage the grinder. Remove the water tank daily (Fig. 7) and empty any remaining water. Rinse out the water tank with fresh water. Use fresh water every day. Empty the container daily, see „Emptying the Container“. Regularly drain the drip tray. This can be done at any time, but must be done when the red Drip tray float (Fig. 1, I) appears through the opening in the drip grille. Regularly (at least once per week) clean the Water tank (Fig. 1, N), Drip 13.4 tray (Fig. 1, J), Drip grille (Fig. 1, H) and Container (Fig. 1, G) with warm water, a mild washing up liquid and possibly a brush. From time to time, remove the coffee bean container and clear away any residues. Each time the machine is used for frothing, remove the frothing aid and clean off any milk remains. The air intake opening under the seal must not become blocked. This can be cleaned out with a thin needle. If the height adjustment of the coffee dispenser becomes stiff, remove the container, open the service cover and remove it. Slide the height adjuster right down, and off the bottom. To do this, gently raise the inside catch. Use warm water to clean any coffee residues from both parts. Reassemble the two parts. To do this, gently pull up the catch. Check the ease of movement of the height adjuster. Refit the service cover and push the container back in place. Emptying the Container At regular intervals, after every 16 coffee brews, the „Waste container“ indicator (Fig. 3, j) signals that the container has to be emptied and cleaned. The display shows «WASTE CONTAINER». When the coffee machine is in daily use, empty the container daily. As a reminder the display shows «WASTE CONTAINER» every time you switch the machine off. Always empty the container with the coffee machine switched on, otherwise the coffee machine does not register that the container has been emptied. Cleaning the Grinder Use the supplied brush to remove ground coffee residues. Note! Never put water in the grinder. This would damage the grinder. Press the „On/Off“ key (Fig. 3, h) switch off the coffee machine. Unplug from the mains socket. Turn the bean container so that the mark is at the „UnlockContainer“ position and remove the container (Fig. 20).

If a foreign body is impossible to remove, take off the grinding ring. To do this, proceed as follows (Fig. 21): Push the Release catch for removing grinding ring (Fig. 2, U) forward toward the centre of the grinder. Keep it in this position and turn the Lever for setting grinding texture (Fig. 2, V) approximately one full turn clockwise until it comes up against the stop. You can continue to turn the Lever for setting grinding texture (Fig. 2, V) only if the Release catch for removing grinding ring (Fig. 2, U) is pressed. Now release the grinding ring (Fig. 22) and remove the foreign body or bodies. Caution! Risk of injury from the spinning grinder. Never switch the coffee machine on, when you are working on the grinder. This can lead to severe injuries. Before starting work, ensure that the machine is unplugged from the mains socket.

When refitting the grinding ring, ensure that both catches on the grinding ring holder engage in the corresponding slots (Fig. 22). Failure to do this can lead to damage to the grinder. Turn the Lever for setting grinding texture (Fig. 2, V) approximately one full turn anticlockwise until it comes up against the stop. Set the bean container in place at the „UnlockContainer“ position and turn it back to the „Coffee Beans“ position . Add a small quantity of coffee beans, and test the proper operation of the grinder by making a cup of coffee. The first time the grinder is used, or after cleaning, less ground coffee will enter the coffee-making unit, because the channel first has to be filled. This can influence the first cup of coffee.

Cleaning the Coffee-making Unit We recommend cleaning the brewing unit monthly. More frequent cleaning is recommended if the machine is used more intensively. If your appliance is left unused for longer periods (e.g. holidays), it is necessary to empty the coffee grounds container and the water reservoir. Before reconnecting clean the brewing unit thoroughly. Removing the brewing unit: Switch off the appliance with button h “ON/OFF”. The appliance carries out a rinsing process and asks you subsequently to empty the coffee grounds container. Pull the coffee grounds container out of the appliance, empty and clean it. Fig. 23 Press the unlocking button on the service door. Fig. 24 The service door opens to the front. Fig. 25 The brewing unit is located behind the service door. Fig. 26 Caution! Risk of burning through hot brewing unit! If you have just dispensed coffee, then the dispenser could still be hot! 5/6 Remove the brewing unit by inserting your index finger through the ring of the coffee dispenser at the front of the brewing unit and pull the brewing unit straight forwards. Prevent the brewing unit with the other hand from falling. Fig. 27, 28. Cleaning the brewing unit / inserting the brewing unit The brewing unit is open and the ejection lever folds down. Turn the brewing unit around. Both stainless steel sieves are easily accessible now. Fig. 29.

13.8 Cleaning the steam valve

Clean the frothing unit as well as the steam valve after frothing or heating up milk. If the steam valve allows only a reduced amount or no steam or hot water to pass through, we recommend decaling in addition. Caution! Risk to health through milk residue on the frothing unit and steam valve! Contamination through dried milk on the frothing unit as well as the steam valve is a breading ground for bacteria. Keep these parts of the appliance clean at all times. Caution! Risk of burning on the frothing unit and steam valve! The frothing unit as well as the steam valve get very hot during the frothing of milk or the preparation of hot water, and can cause burns. Allow these parts of the appliance to cool down before starting cleaning. Only hold the frothing unit by the black cap. Method:

1. Remove the frothing unit and rinse off

the milk residue under flowing water. Subsequently wipe the steam valve with a damp cloth. Fig. 43

2. Clean the air suction opening of the

frothing unit if blocked by poking the clogged opening carefully with a pointed needle. Fig. 44

3. Now unscrew the outlet valve from the

steam valve. For this, use the measuring spoon P with the integrated took function. Fig. 45

4. Clean the outlet valve by poking the

clogged opening carefully with a pointed needle. Then rinse thoroughly and check that the valve is free. Fig. 46 To clean the steam valve, place a container under the steam valve. Turn rotary switch D “Hot water/steam” into position and allow hot water to pass through briefly without the screwedon outlet valve. This rinses out any remaining contamination from the steam valve.

5. Now screw the cleaned outlet valve

back onto the steam valve using the measuring spoon P. Fig. 47

6. Then again place the frothing unit

onto the steam valve and lock. Fig. 48 Caution, protection of the appliance! A clogged steam valve can damage the appliance! If the steam valve still does not let through any steam or hot water following cleaning of the outlet valve, the device must be descaled.
