Frequently Asked Questions - CMSU4303X SMEG

How do I descale my Smeg CMSU4303X coffee machine?

To descale, prepare a descaling solution (citric acid or commercial descaler) and pour it into the water tank. Activate the descaling program by pressing and holding the steam button for 5 seconds. Follow the on-screen or manual instructions. Rinse thoroughly afterwards.

Why is the steam wand not producing steam?

Ensure the machine is heated up and the steam function is selected. Check if the steam nozzle is clogged; clean it with a pin. Also, the water tank might be empty. If persistent, run a descaling cycle.

Can I use pre-ground coffee instead of beans?

Yes, you can use pre-ground coffee. Use the ground coffee bypass compartment (if available). Refer to manual for proper dosage and tamping.

How often should I clean the brew group?

The brew group should be rinsed weekly with water and cleaned thoroughly with a damp cloth every month. Also, lubricate the seals annually with food-safe grease.

What does the blinking red light mean?

A blinking red light typically indicates the machine needs descaling or the water tank is empty. Check the water level and run a descaling cycle if necessary.

How do I adjust the grind size?

Turn the grind adjustment dial located inside the bean hopper. For finer espresso, turn clockwise; for coarser, counterclockwise. Adjust gradually and test.

Why is my espresso not hot enough?

Preheat the cups with hot water and ensure the machine is fully heated. Check the temperature setting in the menu. Also, a cold machine may need a rinse cycle.

How do I replace the water filter?

Turn off the machine, remove the old filter from the water tank. Insert a new Smeg water filter, set the date on the filter holder, and immerse in water for a few minutes before installing.

What is the maximum cup size?

The adjustable drip tray allows up to 14 cm tall cups. For taller cups, remove the drip tray to accommodate.

How do I reset the machine to factory settings?

Press and hold the menu button for 10 seconds until the display shows 'Reset'. Confirm with the OK button. This clears all custom settings.

Important! Making LONG coffee

Halfway through preparation, the display will show message ADD PRE-GROUND COFFEE, MAXIMUM ONE MEASURING CUP. Add one level measure of pre-ground coffee and press √ ok.

Adjusting the coffee mill

The coffee mill should not require adjusting, at least initially, because it has already been set by default in order to prepare coffee correctly. However, if after making the first few coffees you find that the coffee is either too weak and not creamy enough or delivery is too slow (a drop at a time), this can be corrected by adjusting the grinding adjustment dial (fig. 11).

Please note:

The grinding adjustment dial must only be turned when the coffee mill is in operation during the initial phase of coffee preparation.

If the coffee comes out too slowly or does not come out at all, a message will be shown GROUND TOO FINE. ADJUST GRIND LEVEL, turn the coffee mill dial one or two clicks clockwise.

For fuller bodied creamier coffee, turn one click anticlockwise towards 1 (do not turn more than one click at a time otherwise the coffee could come out one drop at a time).

The effect of these adjustments will only be evident after at least 2 cups of coffee have been delivered. If this adjustment does not obtain the desired result, repeat the correction by turning the dial another click.

Tips for a hotter coffee

For hotter coffee, it is recommended to:

• carry out a rinse cycle by selecting the "Rinsing" function in the settings menu (paragraph "Rinsing")
• warm the cups with hot water (using the hot water function, see section "hot water supply");
• increase the coffee temperature in the settings menu (see section "Coffee temperature")

MAKING MILK-BASED HOT DRINKS

(see recipes on page 30)

Please note:

To avoid milk with little froth or large bubbles, always clean the milk container lid (D2) and hot water connection nozzle (A9) as described in sections "Cleaning the milk container after use", "Cleaning the milk container" and "Cleaning the hot water/steam connection nozzle".

Filling and attaching the milk container

1. Remove the lid (D2) (fig. 15);
2. Fill the milk container (D3) with a sufficient quantity of milk, not exceeding the MAX level marked on the container (fig. 16). Each mark on the side of the container corresponds to about 100 ml of milk;

Please note:

• For a denser and more even froth, you must use skimmed or partially skimmed milk at refrigerator temperature (about 5°C).
• If "Energy Saving" mode is enabled, there may be a few seconds delay before the beverage is delivered.
• Make sure the milk intake tube (D4) is correctly inserted in the bottom of the milk container lid (fig. 17);
• Place the lid back on the milk container;
• Remove the hot water/steam spout (C6) (fig. 18);
• By pushing the bottom attach the milk container (D) to the

nozzle (A10) (fig.19): the machine will let out a noise signal (if the sound notification function is enabled);

1. Place a sufficiently large cup under the coffee spouts (A13) and frothed milk spout (D5); adjust the length of the milk spout, to move it nearer to the cup, simply pulling it downwards (fig. 20).
2. Follow the instructions below for each function.

Adjusting the amount of froth

Turn the froth adjustment dial (D1) on the milk container lid, to adjust the amount of froth on the milk delivered while making the drinks. Follow the tips in the table below:

Dial position	Description Recommended for...
	No froth CAFFE	LATTE /MILK (hot milk)
	Min. froth	LATTE MACCHIATO
	Max. froth CAPPUCCINO /MILK (frothed milk)

Making milk-based drinks automatically

1. Fill the milk container (D) and attach it as described above.
2. Select the required beverage from the homepage:
3. CAPPUCCINO • LATTE MACCHIATO
4. CAFFE LATTE • HOT MILK
5. CAPPUCCINO+
6. ESPRESSO MACCHIATO
7. FLAT WHITE
8. CAPPUCCINO MIX
9. On the display (B) the machine recommends turning the foam adjustment dial (D1) based on the foam requirements for the original recipe: therefore turn the dial on top of the milk container lid (D2) and confirm the selection by pressing √ok
10. After a few seconds, preparation begins automatically and an image of the selected beverage appears on the display, together with a progress bar which gradually fills as preparation progresses.

Please note: general indications when preparing all milk based drinks

• : press to interrupt preparation completely and go back to the homepage.
• Press to interrupt milk or coffee delivery and move on to the next delivery (if applicable) to complete the beverage.
• At the end of delivery, to increase the quantity of coffee in the cup, press + extra.
• Preparation of each milk-based drink can be customized (see sections "Customising beverages" and "Memorising your personal profile").
• Do not leave the milk container out of the fridge for a long time: as the temperature increases (5°C ideal), the quality of the foam decreases.

Once the coffee has been made, the appliance is ready to make the next beverage.

Cleaning the milk container after use

Danger of burns!
