Tips on energy saving

● The display has a dimming function that

switches on automatically when the

appliance is not in use. The display is

illuminated dimly. Press any button or

the rotary knob to brighten the display

● If the appliance is not being used, switch

it off at the power on/off switch 1 O / I on

● If possible, do not interrupt coffee or milk

froth dispensing. Stopping a process

prematurely results in higher energy

consumption and the drip tray lls up

● Descale the appliance regularly to avoid

a build-up of limescale. Limescale residue

results in higher energy consumption.
