Please turn the pad holder as far as it will go to the left until it is located on the open cross symbol . Open the lid (15) (max. 45° angle) by pressing the lock (1) together with your thumb and index fi nger. 05-KAP 3015 neu 69 30.11.2005, 15:16:10 UhrGB

Remove the pad holder from the machine.

Insert a round coffee pad in the pad holder and place this back in the machine, ensuring that the pad is correctly positioned in the fi lter as otherwise it is not possible to completely close the lid (15). Make sure that the handle is located to the extreme left (in position

Now press the lid of the machine with both hands until it is closed. Please do not use force to close the lid as it might be damaged.

Then - with the lid (15) closed - turn the pad handle to the right-hand position –

Place a cup on the cup tray (7) under the opening of the coffee spout (5), whose height can be adjusted. By simultaneously pressing with your index fi nger and thumb on the push buttons (4) to the left and right of the coffee spout (5) you can adjust the spout to the size of the coffee cup. 05-KAP 3015 neu 70 30.11.2005, 15:16:18 UhrGB

Turn on the machine to the „I“ position using the ON/OFF switch (9). When the OK control lamp (13) lights up the machine is ready for operation. Turn the function selector switch (14) to the cup symbol.

Coffee fl ows through the spout. You can adjust the strength of the coffee by means of the quantity of water used. By turning the switch (14) to „O“ in a horizontal position it is possible to stop the fl ow of coffee at any time. Frothing Milk

• Frothing milk takes practice. Do not be discouraged if it is not perfect the fi rst time. The milk should be half steamed and half frothed. Please use skimmed or low-fat milk; long-life UHT milk is particularly suitable for frothing. A rust- proof beaker or a small stainless steel jug is ideal.

• Both switches (9/10) must be turned on and there must be enough water in the water reservoir.

• After approximately 20 seconds the OK control lamp (13) lights up to indicate that the machine is ready for milk frothing.

• In order to froth the milk immerse the steam nozzle (12) in the milk in the ves- sel. Hold the vessel in such a way that the end of the steam nozzle is slightly immersed in the milk.

• Turn the function selector switch (14) to “ ”. Caution! The emitted steam is very hot. As the milk heats up the vessel also becomes hot. Move the beaker carefully up and down. When you have fi nished, turn the function selector switch back to „O“.

• In order to warm the milk using the steam nozzle (12), immerse the nozzle in the milk in the vessel. Hold the beaker in such a way that the nozzle is comple- tely immersed in the milk. When you have fi nished, turn the function selector switch back to „O“.

Clean the steam nozzle each time immediately after use. Half fi ll a beaker with water and use the steam function once more for approximately 20 seconds. This cleans the inside of the steam nozzle. Wipe off the exterior of the steam nozzle with a damp cloth. If the outlet of the steam nozzle is blocked by dry milk, clean the small aperture carefully with a needle. Descaling Regular descaling will prolong the lifetime of your coffee machine. Descale your machine regularly at least every 2 - 3 months, depending on the hardness of your water. Only commercially available liquid descaling agents (based on citric acid) should be used. Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer. The guaran- tee does not cover coffee machines blocked by scale!

1. Fill the water reservoir with a commercially available descaling agent and

water. Place the water reservoir back in the machine.

2. Open the device and put a used pad in the pad holder. Close the lid carefully.

(It is recommended that you use a used pad as this serves as a „fi lter“ and prevents scale residues blocking the small openings of the pad holder mesh).

3. Place a large vessel under the coffee spout (5) and a second vessel under the

4. Switch on the machine.

5. Turn the function selector switch (14) to “Brew coffee” and allow approximately

1/3 of the liquid to fl ow through.

6. Then turn the function selector switch to steam and allow the descaling liquid

to fl ow for approximately 2 minutes through the steam nozzle.

7. Allow the descaling liquid to fl ow alternately through the brewing head and the

8. Remove the vessels and empty them.

9. Remove the water container from the device and rinse out thoroughly using

10. Then clean the machine in the same way twice with clean water, but without

descaling agent and without any pad. Cleaning and Care

• Always remove the mains plug before cleaning the machine.

• Never immerse the machine in water.

• Clean the external walls of the machine only with a damp cloth.

• The cup tray (7) and drip tray (8) can be removed for cleaning. Clean with hot water and a little washing-up liquid if necessary – or in the dishwasher.

• Clean the coffee pad holder thoroughly under hot water, using a little washing- up liquid if required. Use a washing-up brush if necessary, and unblock any openings with a needle.

• Clean the steam nozzle carefully with a damp cloth. 05-KAP 3015 neu 72 30.11.2005, 15:16:19 UhrGB

• Clean the water container with warm water, using a little washing-up liquid if necessary. If you use a washing-up brush make sure you do not damage the valve on the fl oor of the water container.

• The lid of the machine should always be left open so that the remaining mois- ture can evaporate and no fungus is formed. Disposal

• Please consider the environment!

• The packaging should be disposed of according to type and in line with your local refuse regulations.

• Please return cardboard, paper and foils for appropriate recycling.

• When the device can no longer be used, please arrange for it to be disposed of in an environmentally-friendly manner (local collection point for electrical devices).
