Welcome to the L'OR Barista world! L'OR Barista is the only capsule coffee system that allows you to brew two cups of coffee at the same time thanks to the double spout and the exclusive L’OR Barista double-shot capsules with twice as much coffee. The L'OR Barista coffee machine is also compatible with the L'OR Espresso single-shot coffee capsules. Thanks to the Dual Capsule Recognition technology, the machine automatically recognizes the capsule size and adapts the volume accordingly. All you need to do is press the button for the type of coffee you desire.

Capsules and capsule compatibility

The L'OR Barista coffee machine has been designed to work with L’OR Espresso single-shot capsules and L’OR Barista double-shot capsules, as well as with Nespresso* capsules and aluminum capsules from coffee brands produced by Jacobs Douwe Egberts, such as Douwe Egberts, JACOBS, Jacqmotte, Jacques Vabre, Grand Mère, L'OR, Marcilla, Moccona, Saimaza and Senseo. *brand of a third party not connected to JACOBS DOUWE EGBERTS and / or PHILIPS L’OR aluminum capsules are available online at www.lorespresso.com and in shops. You can choose from a variety of coffee capsules for different types of coffee.

Direct start and auto switch-off

The direct start function allows you to brew the coffee you desire with just one press of a button. After the coffee has been prepared the machine switches off automatically to save energy.

Before first use, remove all packaging materials from the machine. When you use the machine for the first time or if you have not used it for 1 day or longer, perform the following steps: 1 Remove the water tank from the machine.

2 Rinse and fill the water tank under the tap. Place the water tank back onto the machine.

3 Place a bowl under the coffee dispensing spout. Do not insert a capsule and make sure that the lever is closed.

Note: You can remove the drip tray to create enough space to place a bowl under the coffee dispensing spout.

5 The machine heats up in about 25 seconds and starts rinsing. Water flows from the coffee dispensing spout into the bowl until the internal water circuit is empty. Note: When the internal water circuit is empty, the machine produces a humming sound. When the machine dispenses water, it produces a less loud humming sound. This is normal. 6 Empty the drip tray and the waste water drawer. The machine is now ready for use.

Beverages and capsules Beverages Thanks to the Dual Capsule Recognition technology, the machine automatically recognizes the capsule size and adapts the volume of your drink accordingly. All you need to do is press the button for the type of coffee you desire.

1 For one coffee, place one cup under the coffee dispensing spout.

2 For two coffees, place two cups under the coffee dispensing spout.

3 For a large coffee or Grand Café Filtre, remove the cup platform and the drip tray, place the cup platform on the lower drip tray and place a large cup or mug on the cup platform under the coffee dispensing spout.

Drink personalization: program your drink volume

Each coffee button has been programmed to brew coffee at its ideal setting. Nevertheless, you can personalize your drink volume to your wishes, within a range that ensures the best coffee quality.

The volumes for normal and XXL capsules are adjusted separately:

1 Fill the water tank. 2 Insert a capsule and close the lever. - If you want to adjust the volume for normal capsules, insert a L'OR singleshot espresso capsule. - If you want to adjust the volume for an XXL capsule, insert a L’OR Barista double-shot capsule. 3 Press and hold the button of the coffee whose volume you want to adjust for 4 seconds until the button flashes quickly. Then release the button. The machine starts brewing coffee. 4 Press the same button again when the cup contains the desired volume. The button shows a light burst to indicate the new volume is stored. Note: If you press the coffee button too early, the machine programs the minimum volume shown in the table above. If you do not press the coffee button, the machine programs the maximum volume shown in the table.

Resetting the drink volume

To reset the drink volumes to their factory settings: 1 Press and hold the ristretto, espresso and lungo buttons simultaneously until all buttons flash quickly to show that the machine has been reset to factory settings.

The machine is now ready for use.

Descale the machine when the ristretto and lungo button flash quickly a few times after brewing. The descaling procedure takes up to 40 minutes and consists of a descaling cycle and a rinsing cycle. Do not interrupt the descaling procedure.

Descaling is essential for the following reasons: - It prolongs the life of your L'OR Barista coffee machine - It ensures maximum cup volume - It ensures maximum coffee temperature - The machine produces less sound during brewing - It prevents malfunctioning If the descaling procedure is not performed correctly, scale residue remains behind in the machine. This causes scale to build up more quickly and may cause permanent and irreparable damage to the machine.

Use the correct descaler

Only lactic acid-based descalers are suitable for descaling the L'OR Barista machine. This type of descaler descales the machine without damaging it. We

20 English advise you to use the dedicated L'OR Barista liquid descaler (CA6530) or Saeco liquid descaler (CA6700). It is available in bottles that contain liquid descaler for two descaling procedures. You need half a bottle for one descaling procedure and can store the other half for the next descaling procedure.

Note: If something goes wrong during the descaling procedure, e.g. because you accidentally interrupt the descaling cycle, you have to restart the descaling procedure from step 1. 1 Pour half a bottle of liquid descaler into the water tank.

2 Fill up the water tank with fresh tap water.

3 Make sure that there is no capsule in the capsule compartment.

5 Place a bowl with a minimum capacity of 1.5 liters on the lower drip tray under the coffee dispensing spout to collect the descaling solution.

6 Press and hold the ristretto and lungo button for 3 seconds at the same time.

The ristretto button starts to flash and the lungo button is steady on

7 The machine dispenses the entire descaling solution at regular intervals. This takes up to 30 minutes.

When the lungo button start to flash quickly and the ristretto button is on, the first phase of the descaling cycle has finished

8 Remove and empty the bowl. Place the bowl back onto the lower drip tray under the coffee dispensing spout.

9 Remove the water tank and rinse it under the tap. Fill the water tank with cold tap water and place it back onto the machine.

10 Press the flashing button to start the flushing cycle. The ristretto button is on and the lungo button flashes during the flushing phase Note: The water tank will be emptied without interruption. The flushing cycle lasts about 3 minutes.

11 When the flushing cycle has finished, the ristretto and lungo button flash a few times.

Note: It is normal that some water remains behind in the water tank after the descaling procedure. The machine switches off. The descaling procedure is finished.

Meaning of light signals

The selected coffee button flashes slowly: the machine is preparing your drink.

The selected coffee button flashes quickly: the water tank is empty, fill the water tank with tap water. The selected coffee button flashes intermittently: The new coffee quantity is saved and programming is active. The ristretto and lungo button flash simultaneously after brewing coffee: you need to descale the machine. All three buttons flash simultaneously: the machine needs to cool down. Wait approx. 2 minutes before you start brewing a new drink.

When you brew the first cup of the day or when it has been a while since your previous cup of coffee, the inside of the machine is still cold when you brew coffee.

You can pre-heat the machine and coffee cup by brewing a cup of coffee first without placing a coffee capsule.

If you use a cold, thick-walled cup, the coffee will cool down immediately.

Use thin-walled cups, as thinwalled cups will absorb less heat from the coffee than thick-walled cups. Make sure the size of the cup matches the coffee quantity. Do not brew a small quantity of coffee in a large cup.
