• 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 tempera- ture, 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 unmatch- able 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 espresso- coffee that much milder! 3 Safety Information This appliance corresponds to accepted technological standards with regards to safety and to the German Appliance Safety Law. As the manufacturer, we nevertheless wish to familiarise you with the following safety information. General safety

• The coffee machine must be connected only to a mains power supply of which the voltage, type of supply and fre- quency conform with the details shown on the type plate (this can be found on the upper part, behind the service cover)!

• Never allow the mains lead to come into contact with hot parts of the appliance.

• Never use the mains lead to pull the plug out of the mains socket!

• Do not use the coffee machine, if: – the mains lead is damaged, or – the case shows visible signs of dam- age.

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given initial supervision or instruction con- cerning use of the appliance by a per- son responsible for their safety. Child safety

• Do not leave the coffee machine run- ning unattended, and take special care when children are about! Safety in operation

• Caution! The coffee dispenser, swivel nozzle and cup rack become hot in operation. Keep childeren at a safe distance!

• Caution! Danger of scalding when the steam nozzle is activated! Hot water or steam output can cause scalding. Activate the steam nozzle only when you are holding a container under the nozzle. GB34

• Do not use steam to heat inflammable liquids!

• Only use the coffee machine with water in the system! Fill the water tank with cold water. Do not use hot water, milk or other liquids. Do not exceed the maximum fill level of 1.5 litres.

• Do not put frozen or caramelised cof- fee beans in the bean container. Use only roast coffee beans! Remove any foreign bodies from the coffee beans. Failure to do this invalidates the guar- antee.

• Spoon only ground coffee into the ground coffee filler.

• Do not leave the coffee machine switched on unnecessarily.

• Do not expose the coffee machine to the weather.

• When using an extension lead, use only a commercially available cable with a conductor cross-section of at least

Repairs to electrical appliances must be carried out only by qualified service engineers. If a repair becomes necessary – includ- ing replacement of the mains lead, please contact

• the dealer where you bought the cof- fee machine, or

• To Fagor’s customer care service. If the coffee machine is used incor- rectly, or for a purpose other than its intended purpose, we cannot accept any liability for damage caused or any guarantee claims. This provision also applies if the cleaning and des- caling programs are not run in accor- dance with the instructions in this manual, immediately after illumina- tion of the "Clean" key (Fig. 3, k) or the "Descale" key (Fig. 3, j) . GB35 4 Using for the First Time

4.1 Setting Up and Connecting the

Coffee Machine Place machine on a suitable horizontal, stable, unheated and water-resistant surface. Ensure there is good air circu- lation. Important! If the coffee machine is brought into a warm room from a cold environment, wait about two hours before switching on! We advise you to place the coffee machine on a suitable mat to prevent damage being caused by spray and splashes. Hold the bean container with the marking on the "Unlockcontainer" position, and set it in place (Fig. 4). The bottom opening of the bean con- tainer must be closed (Fig. 4,a), if it is not closed (Fig. 4,b), insert the tip of a ballpoint pen in the small oval hole (arrow) of the black ring with the marking "TOP“ and turn opening clock- wise as far as the stop. Now turn the bean container anti- clockwise to the position "Coffee beans“ (Fig. 10) or further on to the position "Powder“ (Fig. 14). Push the drip tray in, until it engages on the right under the water tank (Fig. 5). Plug the coffee machine into an earthed mains socket. Do not use a socket that is not earthed! If you do not need the full length of the mains lead, open the cable com- partment on the back of the coffee machine, and tidy away the unused lead (Fig. 6).

4.2 Filling with Water

Each time before switching on the cof- fee machine, check that there is water in the water tank and refill if necessary. The coffee machine requires water for the automatic rinsing processes each time the machine is switched on or off. Remove the water tank from the cof- fee machine (Fig. 7). Fill the water tank with fresh cold water (Fig. 8). Pour only fresh cold water in the water tank. Never put in other liquids, e.g. mineral water or milk. Replace the water tank (Fig. 7). Press the tank firmly in, to ensure that the water-tank valve opens. If water must be refilled during the use of the coffee machine, the "Fill water tank" indicator (Fig. 3, i) flashes. Coffee resp. hot water/steam prepara- tion is interrupted. Fill the water tank! To always be sure of a rich coffee, full of aroma, you should:

• change the water in the water tank daily

• wash the water tank at least once per week in normal washing-up water (not in the dishwasher). Then flush with fresh water.

Switch the coffee machine on by means of the "On/Off" key (Fig. 3, f) (Fig. 9). While the water is being heated (approx. 60 seconds) the "Cof- fee machine heating" indicator (Fig. 3, g) flashes. Once the operating temperature has been reached, the coffee machine car- ries out an automatic flushing cycle. The water flows out into the drip tray. The "Coffee machine heating" indica- tor (Fig. 3, g) remains constantly on. The coffee machine is now ready to use. Immediately after being switched on the machine runs through a set-up cycle. The noises occurring are per- fectly normal. GB36

4.4 Switching the Coffee Machine

Off If you switch the coffee machine off with the "On/Off" key (Fig. 3, f) after you have finished making coffee, the machine carries out a flush pro- gram, during which time the "Empty grounds container" indicator (Fig. 3, h) flashes for about 1 minute as a reminder. If you switch the coffee machine off with the "On/Off" key (Fig. 3, f) while a function is running, all functions are immediately switched off.

4.5 Setting the Water Hardness

After first placing the machine in use or when using a different water quality you should set the machine to the water hardness level corresponding to the local water hardness. You can use the included test card to determine the water hardness, or contact your local water supply company. Determining water hardness Dip the test strip in cold water for around 1 second. Shake off the excess water, and gauge the hardness by means of the pink bands. No pink bands or one pink band: Hardness 1, soft up to 1.24 mmol/l, or up to 7° German hardness, or up to 12.6° French hardness Two pink bands: Hardness 2, medium hard up to 2.5 mmol/l, or up to 14° German hardness, or up to 25.2° French hardness Three pink bands: Hardness 3, hard up to 3.7 mmol/l, or up to 21° German hardness, or up to 37.8° French hardness Four pink bands: Hardness 4, very hard over 3.7 mmol/l or over 21° German hardness, or over 37.8° French hardness Setting and saving the water hardness level You can set 4 hardness levels. The cof- fee machine is factory-set to hardness level 4. With the machine switched on, turn the bean container to the "Coffee Beans" position (Fig. 10)

Press and hold the "Clean" key (Fig. 3,

Now repeatedly press the "Coffee Quantity" key (Fig. 3, c) until you have selected the required hardness level. Release the "Clean" key. The selected value is now saved. The indi- cation changes back to the Coffee Quantity. The hardness levels are indicated as follows: Hardness level 1 Hardness level 2 Hardness level 3 Hardness level 4 Interrogate the set water hardness level: With the machine switched on, turn the bean container to the "Coffee Beans" position . Press and hold the "Clean" key (Fig. 3, k) . The set water hardness level is now indicated. 5 Making Coffee with Beans The following process for making cof- fee with beans runs completely auto- matically: Grinding, portioning, pressing, pre-brewing, brewing, ejec- tion of the coffee grounds. The facility to select the grinding tex- ture and the coffee quantity allows you to individually set up the coffee machine to your own personal taste. GB37 Ensure that you use only pure coffee beans with no caramelised or aroma- tised additives. Do not use frozen beans.

5.1 Filling the Coffee Bean

Container Turn the bean container to the "Coffee Beans" position (Fig. 10) . The mech- anism sets to the required function. Set the grinding texture (Fig. 11). Using the grinding texture adjustment (Fig. 2, U) you can set the grinding tex- ture 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 at 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 con- tainer, and fill the container with fresh coffee beans (Fig. 12). Then reclose the lid. Note! Make sure that no foreign bod- ies, such as stones, enter the coffee bean container. Damage caused by for- eign bodies in the grinder is excluded from the guarantee.

Depending on your taste, select a "short" espresso or a "long" milky cof- fee. The selection is made by repeatedly pressing the "Cup Size" key (Fig. 3, d) until the desired cup symbol is indicated. The cup sizes are indicated as follows: Espresso cup Coffee cup Coffee mug The coffee machine is factory-set to standard measures. Notes on changing the cup measures can be found in „Changing and Saving the Cup Measure".

5.3 Selecting the Coffee Quantity

Repeatedly press the "Coffee Quantity" key (Fig. 3, c) until the desired cof- fee quantity is indicated. The coffee quantities are indicated as follows: "extra mild" "mild" "normal" "strong" "extra strong" To save having to select the coffee quantity every time you switch on the coffee machine, you can save the cof- fee quantity in relation to the cup size. Notes on how to do this can be found in „Changing and Saving the Coffee Quantity".

5.4 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 cof- fee splashes (Fig. 13). If the height adjuster is stiff, proceed as described under „Cleaning the height adjustment“. Press the Key for 1 cup of coffee (Fig. 3, b) or the Key for 2 cups of cof- fee (Fig. 3, a) . When you dispense

2 cups of coffee, , the appliance brews in the two cup operation two cups of coffee one alter another. Remove the cups not until both brewing processes are complete. While the 2CUP procedure is running, the OK key indicator is flashing.38 In the coffee-making process, the ground coffee is first of all wetted with a small quantity of water for pre- brewing. Following a short pause, the actual brewing process commences. You can stop coffee being dispensed by briefly pressing the coffee dispensing key. 6 Making Ready-ground Coffee This function allows you to brew pre- ground coffee, e.g. decaffinated coffee. Note that you must use only the sup- plied measuring spoon, and never put more than 1 level measuring spoon of ground coffee into the ground coffee filler. Unit allows 1 measuring spoon of ground coffee only. So it is also not possible to selec 1 or 2 cups. 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. 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.

6.1 Using 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. All coffee quantity indicator lamps (Fig. 3, c) are extinguished (Fig. 15). Open the lid of the ground coffee filler, and spoon in the fresh ground coffee (Fig. 16). 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.

6.3 Dispensing Coffee

Refer to „Dispensing Coffee". 7 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, e) . The indicator illuminates, at the same time the "Coffee machine heating" indicator (Fig. 3, g) flashes. When the heating process is finished, the indicator changes from flashing to constantly on. The coffee machine is now ready for frothing milk. If the steam function is left unused for more than 1 minute, the coffee machine automatically changes back to coffee-making 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 stain- less steel one which should not be rinsed before hand in hot water. Swing out the steam nozzle and hold the mug under the steam nozzle so that the nozzzle opening is just immersed in the milk. GB39 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 posi- tion (Fig. 17). The milk is now frothed up. Hold the mug steady during the froth- ing. The nozzle should not be allowed to touch the bottom of the mug and cut off the steam supply. Froth the milk to at least twice its volume. To stop frothing, turn the Selection dial for steam and hot water (Fig. 1, D) to the position and remove the jug (Fig. 17). Caution! Danger of scalding from hot milk spray! Switch the steam off, before removing the jug with the frothed milk. To finish steam mode, press the "Steam Pre-selector" key (Fig. 3, e) , or wait ca. 60 sec., for the machine to auto- matically return to the coffee mode. The indication is extinguished. The coffee machine is now ready for making coffee again. Each time you have frothed milk, let off some hot water through the nozzle for a short time by setting the Selec- tion dial for steam and hot water (Fig. 1, D) to the position. This is nec- essary to prevent milk residues drying inside the nozzle, and thereby blocking it. Use a suitable container to catch the water. Remove the frothing aid after each use (Fig. 18). For this, take hold of the frothing aid by the black seal and dis- engage the bayonet connector by turning it slightly anticlockwise.Rinse off the milk residues under running water. Wipe the steam nozzle off with a damp cloth. Caution! Danger of burns from the frothing aid! Hold the frothing aid only by the black seal. 8 Preparing Hot Water The hot water can be used to pre-heat aet .g.e ,sknird toh gnikam rof dna spuc 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. 19). Hot water is now prepared. After you have dispensed the hot water turn the Selection dial for steam and hot water (Fig. 1, D) back to the position (Fig. 19) and remove the con- tainer. 9 Changing and Saving the Cup Measure 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. The adjustment can take place in both bean and powder mode. The setting of "Cup Measure" is only possible for 1 cup. When dispensing 2 cups the "Cup Measure" is doubled. Repeatedly press the "Cup Size" key (Fig. 3, d) until the cup symbol, for which you wish to change the measure, is illuminated. Place the appropriate cup under the coffee dispenser (e.g. coffee mug). Press and hold the Key for 1 cup of coffee (Fig. 3, b) until the cup/mug is filled to the desired measure. Release the key. Your new cup measure is now saved. GB40 Repeat the process if you would like to change the measures for the other cup symbols. The machine switches off automati- cally on reaching the max. Cup Mea- sure. The saved measures remain stored when the coffee machine is switched off. If your coffee cups or your taste change, you can easily change the cup measure(s) to your new requirements, whenever you want. 10 Changing and Saving the Coffee Quantity You can set and save a different coffee quantity for each cup symbol to your individual requirements. This can be done only for use with coffee beans, not for use with ground coffee. Repeatedly press the "Cup Size" key (Fig. 3, d) until the desired cup sym- bol is indicated. The saved quantities remain stored when the coffee machine is switched off. 11 Setting the Grinding Texture Note! The grinder settings must be changed only while coffee is being ground. Making adjustments to the stationary grinder can damage the cof- fee machine. Press the Key for 1 cup of coffee (Fig. 3, b) to make one cup of coffee. While the coffee is being ground, use the Lever for setting grinding texture (Fig. 2, U) and (Fig. 22) to change the grinding texture. The lever positions have the following effects: Fine grade for intensive taste Medium grade for normal taste Coarse grade for mild coffee Remove foreign bodies from the grinder Foreign bodies, such as small stones, in the grinder can damage the grinder. The coffee machine includes a stone detector. A foreign body in the coffee causes a loud, even rattle. If you hear this noise while coffee is being ground, immediately switch off the coffee machine and remove the foreign body, as described in „Cleaning the Grinder" page 41. 12 Setting the Coffee Temperature There are five temperature levels to choose from. In the "Set Coffee Tem- perature" mode, the coffee quantity indicator is illuminated, which now acts as the coffee temperature indica- tor.

Press and hold button b “Coffee request 1 cup” down during the entire prepara- tion. If you store the cup filling volume in coffee bean mode, then first of all the grinding gear starts up and grinds the coffee. Release button b “Coffee request 1 cup” on reaching the cup filling volume desired by you. Your desired cup filling volume is now stored.41 The coffee temperature levels are indi- cated as follows: "lukewarm" "warm" "normal" "hot" "extra hot" The factory setting is "normal“. You can change this setting as follows: Switch the appliance on and wait until it is in the base position. Now release all three keys. Use the "Coffee Quantity" key (Fig. 3, c) (increase temp.) or the "Cup Size" key (Fig. 3, d) (reduce temp.) to select the temperature level you require. When you have selected the tempera- ture, press the "Clean" key (Fig. 3, k) to save and exit the "Set Coffee Temperature" mode. 13 Setting the Switch-off Time If the coffee machine is not used for a set amount of time, it automatically switches off for economy reasons. You can choose between five switch- off times (automatic switch-off after 1 to 5 hours). In the "Set Switch-off Time" mode, the coffee quantity indicator is illumi- nated, which now acts as the switch- off time indicator. The switch-off times are indicated as follows: 1 hour 2 hours 3 hours 4 hours 5 hours The switch-off time has been factory- set to 1 hour. You can change this set- ting as follows: Switch the appliance on and wait until it is in the base position. Use the "Coffee Quantity" key (Fig. 3, c) (increase time) or the "Cup Size" key (Fig. 3, d) (reduce time) to select the switch-off time you require. When you have selected the switch-off time, press the "Clean" key (Fig. 3, k) to save the setting and exit the "Set Switch-off Time" mode.

Simultaneously press and hold the Key for 2 cups of coffee (Fig. 3, a) and the "On/Off" key (Fig. 3, f) . Keep both keys pressed for around 1 second, until only one of the switch- off time indicators is illuminated. Press and hold down button b “Coffee request 1 cup”. Press button f “ON/OFF” additionally till indicator g “Unit heats” as well as one of the coffee grinding quantity indicators lights up. Release all the buttons; you are now in the “Set coffee temperature” mode. Select the temperature level with button c (increase temperature) or button d (decrease temperature).42 14 Resetting the Coffee Machine This function is used to reset any changes you have made to the factory settings. The following settings are affected:

• Water hardness Switch the appliance on and wait until it is in the base position. Simultaneously press and hold the "Descale" key (Fig. 3, j) and the "Clean" key (Fig. 3, k) . Keep both keys pressed for around 3 seconds, until the coffee machine switches off for a short time, and then switches back on with the factory settings. The coffee machine is now reset. 15 Cleaning and Care To ensure consistent coffee quality and faultless operation, always keep your coffee machine clean.

15.1 Regular Cleaning

Caution! Before cleaning, switch off the coffee machine and allow it to cool down. Do not use any abrasive, scour- ing 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 away. Rinse out the water tank with fresh water. Use fresh water every day. Empty the coffee grounds container daily, see „Emptying the Coffee Grounds 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, M), Drip tray (Fig. 1, J), Drip grille (Fig. 1, H) and Coffee grounds 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 res- idues. 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.

15.2 Cleaning the height adjustment

If the height adjustment of the coffee dispenser becomes stiff, remove the coffee grounds 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 grounds container back in place.

15.3 Emptying the Coffee Grounds

Container At regular intervals, after every 16 cof- fee brews "1 cup“ resp. 8 coffee brews "2 cups“, the "Empty grounds con- tainer" indicator (Fig. 3, h) signals that the container has to be emptied and cleaned. When the coffee machine is in daily use, empty the container daily. The indicator flashes for around 1 minute each time the machine is switched off, as a reminder to do this. GB43 Always empty the grounds container with the coffee machine switched on, otherwise the coffee machine does not register that the container has been emptied.

15.4 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, f) to switch off the coffee machine. Unplug from the mains socket. Turn the bean container so that the mark is at the "Unlock Container" posi- tion and remove the container (Fig. 23). Remove any remaining coffee beans (you could use the vacuum cleaner with the hose or crevice tool attach- ment for this). If a foreign body is impossible to remove, take off the grinding ring. To do this, proceed as follows (Fig. 24):

1. Push the Release catch for removing

grinding ring (Fig. 2, T) forward toward the centre of the grinder.

2. Keep it in this position and turn the

Lever for setting grinding texture (Fig. 2, U) 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, U) only if the Release catch for removing grinding ring (Fig. 2, T) is pressed. Now release the grinding ring (Fig. 25) and remove the foreign body or bodies. Caution! Risk of injury from the spin- ning 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 grind- ing ring holder engage in the corre- sponding slots (Fig. 25). Failure to do this can lead to damage to the grinder. Turn the Lever for setting grinding tex- ture (Fig. 2, U) approximately one full turn anticlockwise until it comes up against the stop. Set the bean container in place at the "Unlock Container" position , and turn it back to the "Coffee Beans" posi- tion . 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.

15.5 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 subse- quently to empty the coffee grounds container. Pull the coffee grounds container out of the appliance, empty and clean it. Fig.26 Press the unlocking button on the service door. Fig.27 The service door opens to the front. Fig.28

The brewing unit is located behind the service door. Fig 29 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 30, 31. 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.32 Clean the brewing unit under warm running water, particularly the stainless steel sieves must be well rinsed and cleaned of coffee remains. Dip the brewing unit in hot water to release the dried coffee remains. Dry the brewing unit. Fig.33 Inserting the brewing unit: Turn the brewing unit to the correct position (the outlet tube faces forwards and downwards), set the brewing unit in the guide grooves and push the brewing unit fully into the appliance. Fig.34 Close the service door until it locks audibly into position. Fig. 35 Reinsert the coffee grounds contai- ner. Fig.36 The appliance can only be switched on if the brewing unit is set in and the service door is closed. After switching on the brewing unit re-adjusts itself, the normal heating process starts again. When dispensing coffee for the first time after cleaning, an increased amount of water will access the coffee grounds container.

15.6 Running the Cleaning Program

The cleaning programme allows complete removal of coffee fat even at areas which are not normally accessible. Start the cleaning programme at the latest, when indicator k “Start cleaning programme” flashes. The cleaning process is carried out in 2 phases, takes several minutes and should not be interrupted. In case of water insufficiency the appliance will automatically turn off. Therefore it is important that the water tank is filled completely. Just clean the brewing unit after the cleaning program has finished. Please use only the cleaning tablets recommended by the manufacturer.

15.7 Running the Descaling Program

The descaling program allows you to simply and effectively descale your coffee machine. The coffee machine should be regularly descaled, every 4-6 months, but no later than when the "Descale" key (Fig. 3, j) indicator flashes. Important: Do not under any circum- stances use descalers based on formic acid or vinegar or pure lemon juice, as these can damage the appliance. Pow- dered descalers are not recommended. Use only limescale removal products recommended by FAGOR. You may obtain them from our authorised dis- tributor network or through our Cus- tomer Care Helpline. The descaling process runs over two phases and should not be inter- rupted. Phase 1: descaling phase, and Phase 2: flushing phase. In the event of a power failure or interruption, the program must be restarted! Phase 1: Descaling Before starting the descaling program, switch the coffee machine off. Remove and clean the coffee-making unit (refer to „Cleaning the Coffee- making Unit"). The coffeemaking unit is replaced not until after the des- caling. Replace the service cover. Empty the coffee grounds container and re-insert it.46

When using other descaleng agents the manufacturer will not be liable for any damage. Pull out the water tank. Put 125ml descaler agent O.1 into the water tank. Then add 250ml water into the water tank by filling the empty descaler bottle twice with fresh water. Insert the water reservoir again.

15.8 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: Remove the frothing unit and rinse off the milk residue under flowing water. Subsequently wipe the steam valve with a damp cloth. Fig.47 Clean the air suction opening of the frothing unit if blocked by poking the clogged opening carefully with a pointed needle. Fig.48 Now unscrew the outlet valve from the steam valve. For this, use the measuring spoon P with the integrated took function. Fig.49 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. 50 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 screwed-on outlet valve. This rinses out any remaining contamination from the steam valve.
