3 First steps 3.1 Unpacking the appliance Remove the packaging material, the adhesive strips and the protective films from the appliance. Please keep the original packaging. The appliance has been tested in the factory to ensure that it functions perfectly. Therefore, the appliance may still contain traces of coffee and water.

3.2 Installing the appliance ƒ Install the appliance in a dry room. ƒ Install the appliance on a stable, flat and dry surface. The surface may not be hot. The appliance may not be placed in the vicinity of sinks or the like. ƒ Install the appliance at a sufficient distance (approx. 10 cm) from the wall and other objects. The space above the appliance should be at least 20 cm. ƒ Route the power cable so it does not lie over edges or cannot be damaged by hot surfaces.

3.3 Connecting the appliance Only connect the appliance to a properly installed earthing contact socket. The earthing contact socket must have a fuse of at least 10 A.

3.4 Switching on the appliance for the first time ƒ Place a vessel beneath the height-adjustable outlet. The distance between the outlet and the vessel should be as small as possible.

4 Preparing to make beverages 4.1 Filling with tap water

Caution! When you switch bean chambers, a small amount of the other coffee beans will remain in the grinder. The next two coffee beverages will be prepared still with remains of the previous variety. Persons with caffeine intolerance should only consume the third coffee beverage.

GB Preparing to make beverages

4.3 Filling with coffee powder You can also prepare your coffee beverages with coffee powder. Use the enclosed coffee spoon for dosing. Fill a maximum of one coffee spoon full of coffee powder into the ground coffee chute. Attention! Instant products can clog up and block the brewing unit. If no coffee beverage is prepared within 3 minutes of opening the ground coffee chute, the appliance switches to operation with coffee beans. The coffee powder is then discharged into the coffee grounds container.

4.4 Using the milk container You can use the included milk container or a conventional milk pack to prepare milk froth or warm milk (depending on the model).

The quality of the tap water largely determines the flavour of the coffee. Fill the water tank only with fresh, cold tap water that has not been carbonated. Change the tap water daily. Please observe the maximum filling level.

4.2 Filling with coffee beans The 2-chamber bean container allows you to use two varieties of coffee beans. You switch between the bean chambers with the "Bean Select" tilt lever. Attention! Freeze-dried and caramelised coffee beans can clog up the grinder. Coffee powder can also damage the grinder. Roasted coffee beans lose their aroma after a few days. For this reason, do not fill too many coffee beans into the bean chamber.

Always use cold milk. Only fill as much milk into the milk container as will be used immediately. You can store the milk container in the refrigerator.

4.5 Emptying the drip tray and coffee grounds container After a set number of dispensing operations, the appliance will ask you to drain the drip tray and the coffee grounds container. The protruding float also shows you when it is time to empty the drip tray.

The drip tray can be pulled forwards out of the appliance. Always empty both the drip tray and also the coffee grounds container. Then, make sure you push the drip tray into the appliance up to the stop. If you empty the drip tray while the appliance is not switched on, the appliance does not register this process. Therefore, it is possible that you are asked to empty the containers even though the drip tray and the coffee grounds container are not yet full.

5 Preparing beverages Observe the following instructions during preparation: ƒ The water tank should be sufficiently full. If the filling level is too low, the appliance requests you to refill it. ƒ There should be sufficient coffee beans in the 2-chamber bean container. The appliance asks you to refill only if there are no more coffee beans in the bean chamber and the grinder has ground itself empty.

ƒ When preparing a beverage with milk, connect the filled milk container or a commercially available milk pack. The appliance does not indicate a lack of milk. ƒ The vessels for the beverages should be sufficiently large. ƒ The display needs to show the Ready display. ƒ Start the preparation by pressing the corresponding direct key. Observe the messages in the display during preparation. ƒ You can end preparation prematurely by pressing the direct key again. ƒ The preparation is ended automatically. ƒ After a beverage has been prepared with milk, the appliance will ask you to start the Easy cleaning programme. You can, however, prepare further beverages and run the Easy cleaning programme later. Observe the instructions in section 8.5, page 26.

5.1 Preparing beverages with recipes You can prepare other beverage specialities with the appliance, e.g. an Americano. ƒ You access the list of recipes by pressing the "my recipes" button briefly several times. ƒ Alternatively you can open the list of recipes directly by pressing the "my recipes" button for longer than 2 seconds. After you select a recipe, the beverage dispensing starts immediately.

5.2 Preparing two beverages simultaneously You can prepare two cups of some beverages at the same time. To do this, you first need to press the button "2×". You can then either press a direct key or select a recipe. This setting only applies to the current preparation.

7.4 Switch-off rinsing The appliance performs rinsing when switched on and off. In the menu under Settings > Rinse at OFF, you can deactivate the switch-off rinsing function or activate it again. We recommend that you do not permanently deactivate the switch-off rinsing function.

7.5 Factory settings In the menu under Settings > Factory settings, you can reset the appliance to factory settings. In this case, all personal settings are lost, including the settings in the My Coffee menu.

7.6 Statistics and System menus The Statistics menu provides information on the number of beverages prepared. The System menu provides information on the software version. Furthermore, you have access to the venting function (see section 9, page 27).

7.7 Grinding fineness The grinding fineness of the coffee beans influences the flavour of the coffee. The finer you set the grinding fineness, the stronger the coffee. The grinding fineness has been optimally set at the factory. Change the grinding fineness setting at the earliest after about 100 coffee dispensing processes (after approx. 1 month, depending on coffee consumption). You can set the grinding fineness optimally with the "Grinding fineness adjustment" lever on the rear side of the appliance. Do not set the grinding fineness too fine. The optimum grinding fineness is set when the coffee flows evenly out of the outlet producing a fine, dense crema.
