Frequently Asked Questions - CTL836EC6 BOSCH

Coffee has no crema, what to do?
The coffee variety may be inadequate. Use a coffee with a higher proportion of Robusta. Ensure the beans are freshly roasted. Set a finer grind if necessary.
Coffee is too acidic, how to fix?
A too coarse grind can make coffee acidic. Set a finer grind or use a finer coffee powder. Possibly change the coffee variety.
The milk system is not sucking milk, what to check?
Check that the dispensing nozzle and hoses are not blocked. Clean the suction tube. Use cold milk with at least 1.5% fat content. Ensure parts are correctly assembled.
An error message appears on the screen, what to do?
Refer to the Troubleshooting chapter in the manual. For example, the message 'Clean the brewing unit' indicates that this part needs cleaning. If the message persists, contact customer service.
How to descale the machine?
Press the maintenance programs menu, select Descaling. Use a BOSCH TCZ8002N descaling tablet dissolved in 0.5 L of warm water in the tank. Follow the on-screen instructions (duration approx. 21 minutes).
How to clean the brewing unit?
Open the door, turn off the appliance via the main switch. Remove the protective cover and the coffee grounds drawer. Unlock the unit with the lever and remove it. Clean it under running water without dish soap, dry it, then reassemble.
How to adjust water hardness?
Use the supplied test strip to measure hardness. In the menu, select Water hardness and set the level (1 to 4) corresponding to your measurement. Correct adjustment ensures accurate descaling alerts.
How to connect the machine to Home Connect?
Make sure your router is on 2.4 GHz. In the menu, enable Wi-Fi and choose automatic (WPS) or manual connection. Follow the instructions in the Home Connect app to complete the pairing.
Why does the message 'Empty the collection trays' appear even though the tray is empty?
The collection tray may be dirty or damp. Clean it and dry it thoroughly. If the problem persists, remove the tray and replace it after turning on the appliance.
The machine does not turn on, what to check?
Check that the main switch (located behind the door) is in position [I]. Make sure the power cord is properly plugged in and the power outlet works. If the problem persists, contact a qualified electrician.

There are different setting options depending on the type of drink. For coffee drinks, for example, the strength, temperature and quantity can be set, for milk only the volume.

The following settings are possible: Coffee strength

very mild

mild

normal

very strong

Double Shot strong

Double Shot strong +

Double Shot strong ++

BOSCH CTL836EC6 - The following settings are possible: Coffee strength - 1

Aroma Double Shot

The longer the coffee is brewed, the more bitter substances and undesired aromas are released. This has a negative effect on the taste and makes the coffee less easily digestible. For extra strong coffee, the appliance has therefore a special Aroma Double Shot function. When half the quantity has been prepared, it grinds and brews fresh coffee beans so that only the pleasant, aromatic scents are released.

The Aroma Double Shot function is not available for ristretto, espresso macchiato, and when ground coffee is used.

Volume

The volume differs depending on the type of drink and can be set in ml steps.

BOSCH CTL836EC6 - Volume - 1

The volume dispensed can fluctuate depending on the quality of the milk.

Tips on energy saving

Press [①] to switch the appliance to "energy saving mode". The appliances use very little power when in "energy saving mode", but monitors all safety-relevant functions so as to avoid damage.
In the menu under "Switch off after", set the automatic switch off period to 15 minutes.
- Reduce the brightness of the display and the illumination in the menu to save energy.
If possible, do not interrupt the dispensing of coffee or milk froth. Stopping a process prematurely results in higher energy consumption and the drip tray fills up more quickly.
- Descale the appliance regularly to avoid a build-up of limescale. Limescale residues cause higher energy consumption.

Frost protection

To prevent frost damage during transport and storage, completely empty the appliance beforehand (see the section "Menu - Frost protection").

Storing accessories

The fully automatic coffee machine has a special accessory drawer for storing the Quick reference guide and the accessories in the appliance.

Put the measuring spoon and the water filter into the accessory drawer.
Put the Quick Reference Guide into the special support at the front of the accessory drawer.
The long suction pipe can be stored in the holder on the inside of the door.
The connecting element can be fixed to the magnetic holder above the ground coffee drawer.
