2 Coffee and espresso Your fully automated coffee machine guarantees you 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, which can be adjusted according to type of coffee bean, and

• last, but not least, the guaranteed crema, that small crown of froth that makes espresso coffee so unique 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

4 Special mode For setting the water hardness („Set- ting the water hardness“, page 37) and the coffee temperature („Setting the coffee temperature“, page 43), for starting the descaling program („Run- ning the descaling program“, page 45) and for viewing the statistics („Statistic mode“, page 49), you can switch to a special mode by pressing the "P" key (Fig.4). In this mode, you can navigate by means of the "1 cup of coffee" , "2 cups of coffee“ , "Steam“ and "P“ keys. The respective function in each case is shown in the display above the key (Fig. 5):

5.1 Setting up and connecting the

coffee machine 0 Place the machine on a suitable hori- zontal, stable, unheated and water- resistant surface.

Ensure that there is good air circula- tion. After positioning the appliance on the work top, leave a space of at least 5 cm between the surfaces of the appliance and the side and rear walls and at least 20 cm above the coffee maker. Never install the appliance in environ- ments where the temperature may reach 0°C or lower (the appliance may be damaged if the water freezes).

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. 0 Plug the coffee machine into an earthed mains socket. Do not use a socket that is not earthed.

5.2 Filling with water

Each time before switching on the cof- fee machine, check that there is water in the water tank, and refill if neces- sary. The coffee machine requires water for the automatic rinsing processes each time the machine is switched on or off. 0 Remove the water tank from the cof- fee machine (Fig. 6). Before the tank is removed, the steam nozzle must always be positioned towards the cen- tre of the appliance, otherwise the tank cannot be removed. 0 Fill the water tank with fresh cold water. Never exceed the MAX line.

Pour only fresh cold water into the water tank. Never put in other liquids, e.g. mineral water or milk. 0 Replace the water tank (Fig. 6). Press the tank firmly in, to ensure that the water tank valve opens.

To always be sure of obtaining a rich coffee with a full aroma, you should: – change the water in the water tank daily, – wash the water tank at least once a week in normal washing-up water (not in the dishwasher). Then rinse with fresh water.

5.3 Filling the coffee bean container

Note! Do not put frozen or caramelised coffee beans in the bean container. Use only roasted coffee beans! Make sure that no foreign objects, such as small stones, enter the coffee bean con- tainer. Blocking or damage caused by foreign objects in the grinder might be excluded from the guarantee.

The grinder is factory-set to a medium grinding texture. If necessary, you can change this setting. Notes on changing the grinder setting can be found in „Setting the grinding texture“, page 42.

The grinder setting may be changed only while coffee is being ground. Making adjustments to the stationary grinder can damage the coffee machine.

Coffee has been used to factory-test the appliance, and it is therefore com- pletely normal for there to be traces of coffee in the mill. This appliance is however guaranteed to be new.

5.4 Switching on for the first time

When you operate the machine for the first time, the coffee machine has to be vented. 0 Switch on the machine with the main switch on the rear of the machine (Fig. 8). If the main switch is switched on for the very first time, all symobls in the display come on for a few seconds for a check, then the symbols and are flashing. 0 Fill the water tank; see „Filling with water“, page 35. 0 Replace the water tank (Fig. 6). Press the tank firmly in, to ensure that the water tank valve opens. 0 Move the steam nozzle outwards and place a cup underneath it (Fig. 9). 0 Turn the knob for steam and hot water anticlockwise as far as it will go to the position (Fig. 10). Water runs out of the steam nozzle. The symbols and are on steady. When the cup contains about 30 ml of water, the symbols and start flashing. 0 Turn the steam knob clockwise (Fig. 10) as far as it will go, to the position , to stop the water running out. The symbol flashes for a few seconds and the appliance switches itself off. 0 Fill the coffee bean container with cof- fee beans; see „Filling the coffee bean container“, page 35.

5.5 Switching on the machine

Each time before switching on, make sure there is water in the water tank and replenish if necessary. The machine requires water for the automatic rins- ing cycles that are carried out each time the appliance is switched on or off. 0 Switch the machine on with the "On/ Off" key (Fig. 11).

Immediately after being switched on the machine runs through a set-up cycle. The noises occurring are per- fectly normal.

During the heating-up phase (approx. 120 seconds) the symbol flashes. During pre-heating, the appliance per- forms an automatic rinse cycle (a little hot water runs out of the spouts and is collected in the drip tray beneath). When pre-heating is complete, the symbol remains constantly on. The coffee machine is now ready to use. The symbols shown on the display depend on the last coffee mode that was selected.

5.6 Switching off the machine

0 Switch the machine off with the "On/ Off" key (Fig. 11). The symbol flashes. The machine car- ries out a rinsing cycle and turns off.

If you will not be using the machine for a longer period of time, after switching off the "On/Off" key , you should also switch off the main switch at the back (Fig. 8).

5.7 Setting the water hardness

After putting the machine into opera- tion for the first time, 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 enclosed test strip to determine the water hardness, or contact your local water supply company. Determining water hardness 0 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 level 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 level 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 level 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 level 4, very hard over 3.7 mmol/l or over 21° German hardness, or over 37.8° French hardness Setting and saving the water hard- ness level You can set 4 hardness levels. The cof- fee machine is factory-set to hardness level 4. 0 With the machine switched on, press the "P" key (Fig. 4). The symbols "P“ and come on. Fur- thermore 3 small symbols above the , and buttons come on to show the present function of these buttons, see „Special mode“, page 35. 0 Confirm the selection with the "OK" key (Fig. 5). The display indicates the current set- ting. The hardness levels are indicated as follows: Hardness level 1 Hardness level 2 Hardness level 3 Hardness level 4 0 Then press the scrolling keys "<" or ">" (Fig. 5) until the determined hardness level is displayed. 0 Confirm the selection with the "OK" key (Fig. 5). This hardness level is now programmed.

To cancel without storing the setting, press "P“ instead of "OK“. If "OK" is not pressed, after about 120 sec., the appliance returns auto- matically to the coffee mode without storing the settings. 0 To return to the coffee mode, then press the "P" key (Fig. 4) or wait about 120 sec. for the machine to automati- cally return to the coffee mode. 6 Making coffee with beans The following process for making cof- fee with beans runs completely auto- matically: Grinding, portioning, pressing, pre-brewing, brewing and ejection of the coffee grounds. The facility to select the grinding tex- ture and the quantity of coffee to be ground allows you to individually set up the coffee machine to suit your own personal taste.

Depending on your taste, select a "short" espresso or a "long" milky coffee. 0 To choose the required cup size, turn the knob for "Cup size" (Fig. 12). The selected cup size will be indicated.

The cup sizes are indicated as follows: espresso cup small cup medium cup large cup mug You can also choose coffee with an extra-mild, mild, normal, strong or extra-strong strength. 0 To choose the required strength, turn the knob for "Coffee strength selec- tion" (Fig 13). The selected coffee strength will be indicated.

The coffee strength is indicated as fol- lows: extra-mild mild normal strong extra-strong 0 Place one or two cups under the coffee dispensing spouts (Fig. 14). The dis- penser can be slid up or down, to match the height of your cup/mug to reduce heat loss and coffee splashes (Fig. 15). 0 Press the key for "1 cup" to make one cup, or the key for "2 cups" to make 2 cups. The symbol "1 cup" or "2 cups" comes on. The appliance now grinds the beans. In the coffee-making proc- ess, 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. The coffee is dispensed into the cup. When the desired quantity of coffee has been dispensed, the appliance automatically stops delivering the cof- fee and ejects the grounds into the waste coffee container. During this time, the symbol "1 cup" or "2 cups" flashes. 0 You can stop the delivery of coffee prematurely at any time, by briefly pressing the key for "1 cup" or "2 cups" , or by turning the knob for "Cup size" (Fig. 12) anti-clockwise towards the "Espresso cup“ position. 0 As soon as delivery is complete, to increase the quantity of coffee, simply press and hold the key for "1 cup" or "2 cups" until the desired quan- tity is reached, or turn the knob for "Cup size" (Fig. 12) clockwise towards the "Mug“ position (this operation must be performed immediately after the coffee is dispensed and before the coffee grounds are ejected into the waste coffee container). After a few seconds, when the flashing symbol "1 cup" or "2 cups" goes off, the appliance is ready for use again and you can make another cof- fee.

If the coffee is delivered a drop at a time or not at all, or the coffee is deliv- ered too fast and is not creamy enough, you should change the grind- ing setting; see „Setting the grinding texture“, page 42.

If the symbols and are flashing, the coffee is ground too fine. You should change the grinding setting; see „Setting the grinding texture“, page 42.

If the symbol comes on the water tank must be refilled or the appliance will not make coffee. (It is normal for there still to be some water left in the tank when the symbol is displayed).

If the symbol comes on the waste coffee container is full and must be emptied and cleaned; see „Emptying the waste coffee container“, page 44. Until the waste coffee container has been cleaned, the appliance continues to dis- play the symbol and cannot make coffee. 822_949_351 CG6200.book Seite 38 Sonntag, 4. März 2007 11:22 23g

Never remove the water tank whilst the machine is delivering coffee. If it is removed, the appliance will not be able to make any more coffee. To vent the appliance, turn the knob for steam and hot water anticlockwise as far as it will go, to the setting, and run off water from the steam nozzle for a few seconds.

When using the appliance for the first time, at least 4-5 cups of coffee need to be made before the appliance starts to yield satisfactory results.

6.1 Tips for making hotter coffee

• When you turn the appliance on, if you want to make a short coffee (less than 60 ml), use the hot rinse- through water to preheat the cups.

• Set a higher coffee temperature; see „Setting the coffee temperature“, page 43.

• Unless they have been pre-heated, do not use cups that are too thick, as they will absorb too much heat.

• Use cups that have been pre-heated by rinsing them with hot water or by leaving them for at least 20 minutes on the heated cup rack (H) with the coffee machine on. 7 Making several cups of coffee with the jug function This function allows you to make sev- eral cups of coffee completely auto- matically, which are poured into the stainless steel thermos jug that is supplied: Grinding, portioning, press- ing, pre-brewing, brewing and ejection of the coffee grounds are as described in the previous section. 0 Turn the lid of the stainless steel ther- mos jug to the position for removal (Fig. 16), and take the lid off the jug. Rinse both the lid and the thermos jug. 0 Place the thermos jug under the coffee dispenser (D), with the lid in position for pouring (Fig. 17). The dispenser must be slid up fully to allow the jug to be pushed in. One of the symbols for the jug func- tion comes on, depending on the number of cups selected the last time the jug function was used. Also the scrolling keys "<" and ">" are illumi- nated. The numbers of cups to be dispensed into the thermos jug are indicated as follows: 4 cups 6 cups 8 cups 10 cups 0 Check that the water tank is full, the bean container has enough coffee beans, and the waste coffee container is empty in order to allow the prepara- tion of a series of coffees for the jug.

If you wish to change the strength and size of the cups for the jug function, use the knob for "Cup size" (Fig. 12) resp. the knob for "Coffee strength selection" (Fig. 13) as described in the section „Making coffee with beans“, page 37. 0 If necessary, press the scrolling keys "<" or ">" to choose the symbol according to the number of cups you wish to pour into the jug, e.g. for 8 cups. 0 Press the "JUG" key (Fig. 18). During preparation, the symbol for the selected number of cups is flashing. Once the brewing is finished, all sym- bols of the jug function are flashing alternately, whereby the symbol for the selected number of cups is lighted twice as long than the other symbols. 0 Now you can remove the thermos jug and close the lid (Fig. 19) to keep the coffee warm for a longer period of time. The appliance returns automatically to the coffee mode.

If there are either not enough coffee beans or there is too little water to complete the requested operation, or the waste coffee container is full, the machine will stop the operation and the current program is cancelled. After the error has been rectified, the pro- gram must be restarted. The amount of coffee already in the jug must be taken into consideration, so that the jug is not over-filled.

If the symbols and are flashing, the coffee is ground too fine. You should change the grinding setting; see „Setting the grinding texture“, page 42. 8 Using pre-ground coffee This function allows you to brew pre- ground coffee, e.g. decaffeinated coffee.

Make sure that no ground coffee has remained in the filler, and that no for- eign objects enter the filler. The ground coffee filler is not a storage container. The ground coffee must be fed directly into the brewing unit. 0 Turn the "Coffee strength / Pre-ground coffee" knob (Fig. 20) to the desired position (for 1 cup) or (for 2 cups) to select the pre-ground coffee function. This disables the coffee mill function. One symbol (for 1 cup) or both symbols (for 2 cups) are illuminated. 0 Open the lid of the ground coffee filler, and scoop in the fresh ground coffee (Fig. 21). Use only the supplied measuring spoon. Never add more than 2 level measured scoops, otherwise either the appliance will not make the coffee, the ground coffee will be dispersed inside the appliance, dirtying it, or the coffee will be delivered drop by drop and the symbols and are flashing. Do not add ground coffee during the brewing process. Only put in ground coffee for the next cup when the brewing process has completely fin- ished and the coffee machine is ready. Never add the ground coffee when the appliance is off, as otherwise it will be dispersed inside the appliance.

Use only ground coffee for fully auto- mated espresso coffee makers. Do not put coffee beans, any water-soluble or freeze-dried instant products or any other drink powder into the ground coffee filler. Coffee powder which is too fine can lead to blockages.

If the filler shaft is blocked (due to moisture inside the appliance, or because more than 2 measuring scoops of pre-ground coffee have been used), use a knife or a spoon handle to push the coffee down (Fig. 22). Then remove the brewing unit and clean it and the appliance as described in the section „Cleaning the brewing unit“, page 44". 0 Close the lid. 0 To choose the required cup size, turn the knob for "Cup size" (Fig. 12) as described in the section „Making cof- fee with beans“, page 37. 0 Press the key for "1 cup" to make one cup, or the key for "2 cups" to make 2 coffees. The coffee is prepared.

If the pre-ground coffee function for 1 cup has been selected and the ground coffee has not been filled into the ground coffee filler, after pressing the button the symbols and are flashing. If the pre-ground coffee function for 2 cups has been selected and the ground coffee has not been filled into the ground coffee filler, after pressing the button the sym- bols and are flashing.

Once the coffee has been prepared, to go back to making coffee using beans, turn the "Coffee strength / Pre-ground coffee" knob (Fig. 20) to any coffee strength setting (the coffee mill is ena- bled for operation again). 822_949_351 CG6200.book Seite 40 Sonntag, 4. März 2007 11:22 23g

9 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. 0 To produce steam, press the "Steam" key (Fig. 23). The symbol comes on and the appli- ance heats up. During the heating process, the symbol flashes. When the heating process is finished, the symbol remains constantly on. The machine is ready for the milk frothing.

If the steam function is not used for longer than 2 minutes, the machine switches back automatically to the coffee mode.

To avoid any residual water mixing in with the milk when frothing, the water should be drained off beforehand. To do this, place a container under the steam nozzle and turn the knob for steam and hot water (Fig. 10) to posi- tion until steam emission starts. Then turn the knob back to position . 0 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 beforehand in hot water. 0 Swing out the steam nozzle and hold the mug under the steam nozzle so that the nozzle opening is just immersed in the milk (Fig. 24).

Attention! Risk of impurities from dried on 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. 0 Turn the knob for steam and hot water (Fig. 10) to the position . The milk is frothed.

To obtain a creamier froth, slowly move the container upwards. Froth the milk to at least twice its volume.

You should not discharge steam for more than two minutes at a time. To end the frothing, turn the knob for steam and hot water (Fig. 10) to the position and then remove the mug.

Caution! Danger of scalding from hot milk spray! Switch the steam off before removing the mug with the frothed milk. 0 Exit the steam mode by pressing the "Steam" key (Fig. 23) or wait approx. 120 sec. for the machine to automati- cally return to the coffee mode. Now the machine is once again ready for making coffee. 0 Each time you have frothed milk, let off some hot water through the nozzle for a short time by turning the knob for steam and hot water (Fig. 10) to the position. This is necessary to prevent milk resi- dues drying inside the nozzle, and thereby blocking it. Use a suitable con- tainer to catch the water. During this process the symbol comes on. 0 Then return the knob to the position ; the last selected coffee setting is shown in the display.

9.1 Cleaning the steam nozzle

0 Turn the knob for steam and hot water clockwise as far as it will go to the position . Wait a couple of minutes for the steam nozzle to cool down. 0 Then with one hand hold the swivel pipe handle firm and with the other disengage the bayonet connection of the steam nozzle by turning it slightly clockwise. Remove the steam nozzle by pulling it downwards (Fig. 25). 0 Remove the inner part of the steam nozzle from the swivel pipe by pulling it downwards. 0 Carefully wash the steam nozzle and the inner part in warm water. 0 Make sure the two holes shown in fig. 26 are not blocked. If necessary, pierce them with a pin and clean them. 0 Replace the inner part by pushing it slightly upwards onto the swivel pipe. 0 Replace the steam nozzle by pushing it upwards and turning it anticlockwise. 10 Preparing hot water The hot water can be used to pre-heat cups and for making hot drinks, e.g. tea 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. 0 Place a container under the hot water nozzle. 0 Turn the knob for steam and hot water to the position (Fig. 10). Hot water is dispensed; the symbol comes on.

You should not run off hot water for more than two minutes at a time. 0 After you have dispensed the hot water turn the knob for steam and hot water back to the position (Fig. 10) and remove the container. 11 Setting the grinding texture The appliance is preset to grind to a medium texture. If you find that coffee delivery is either too fast or too slow (in drips), the grinding texture can be adjusted during the grinding process.

The grinder setting may be changed only while coffee is being ground, i.e. the knob for setting the grinding tex- ture (Fig. 2, T and Fig. 27) must be rotated only when the grinder is grinding beans during the prepara- tion of coffee. Making adjustments to the stationary grinder can damage the coffee machine. 0 Set the grinding texture (Fig. 27) using the knob for setting the grinding tex- ture (Fig. 2, T).

• If the coffee is delivered a drop at a time or not at all (probably the sym- bols and are flashing), turn the knob one click clockwise. Turn one click at a time until the coffee is delivered satisfactorily.

• If the coffee is delivered too fast and the crema is not to your tase, turn the knob one click anticlockwise.

Avoid turning the knob for setting the grinding texture too far, otherwise when you select 2 cups, the coffee may emerge drop by drop.

The effect of these adjustments will only be evident after at least 2 cups of coffee have been prepared. Remove foreign objects from the grinder Foreign objects such as small stones in the grinder can damage the grinder. A foreign objects in the coffee causes a loud, regular rattle. If you hear this noise while coffee is being ground, immediately switch off the coffee machine and call the Customer Service Centre. Blocking or damage caused by foreign objects in the grinder might be excluded from the guarantee. 822_949_351 CG6200.book Seite 42 Sonntag, 4. März 2007 11:22 23g

12 Setting the coffee temperature There are three temperature levels to choose from. The factory setting is «Temperature high». You can change this setting as follows: 0 Press the "P" key (Fig. 4). The symbols "P“ and come on. Fur- thermore 3 small symbols above the , and buttons come on to show the present function of these buttons, see „Special mode“, page 35. 0 Press the scrolling keys "<" or ">" (Fig. 5) until the symbol is illumi- nated. 0 Confirm with the "OK" key (Fig. 5). The display indicates the current set- ting. The temperature levels are indi- cated as follows: Temperature low Temperature medium Temperature high 0 Where necessary, select a different temperature, using the scrolling keys "<" or ">" (Fig. 5). 0 When the required temperature is indi- cated, confirm this with the "OK" key (Fig. 5). This temperature is now pro- grammed.

To cancel without storing the setting, press "P“ instead of "OK“. If "OK" is not pressed, after about 120 sec. the appliance returns auto- matically to the coffee mode without storing the setting. 0 To return to the coffee mode, press the "P" key (Fig. 4) or wait about 120 sec. for the machine to return automati- cally to the coffee mode. 13 Cleaning and Care To ensure consistent coffee quality and faultless operation, always keep your coffee machine clean.

13.1 Regular cleaning

Caution! Before cleaning, switch off the coffee machine and allow it to cool down.

Note! Never put the coffee machine or separate parts of the coffee machine in the dishwasher. Never immerse the coffee maker in water.

Note! Never put water in the coffee bean container, as this would damage the grinder.

Do not use any abrasive, scouring or corrosive cleaning materials. Wipe the inside and outside of the case only with a damp cloth. 0 Remove the water tank daily (Fig. 6) and discard any remaining water. Rinse out the water tank with fresh water. Use fresh water every day. 0 Empty the waste coffee container daily or at the latest when the display prompts you to do so; see „Emptying the waste coffee container“, page 44. 0 Regularly drain the drip tray. This can be done at any time, but must be done when the red drip tray float (Fig. 28) appears through the opening in the drip grid. 0 Regularly (at least once per week) clean the water tank (N), drip tray (O), drip grid (A) and waste coffee con- tainer (Q) with warm water, a mild washing up liquid and possibly a brush. 0 Each time the machine is used for frothing, remove the steam nozzle and clean off any milk residues, see „Clean- ing the steam nozzle“, page 41. 0 Check that the holes in the coffee dis- penser are not blocked.

13.2 Emptying the waste coffee

container The appliance counts the number of coffees made. Every 14 single coffees (or 7 doubles) the symbol comes on to indicate that the waste coffee con- tainer is full and must be emptied and cleaned. Until the waste coffee con- tainer has been cleaned, the appliance cannot make coffee. 0 To clean it, unlock and open the service door by pushing the respective button (Fig. 30), the symbol comes on. 0 Then remove the drip tray (Fig. 31), and empty and clean it. 0 Empty the waste coffee container and clean it thoroughly, making sure that all residues deposited on the bottom are removed. Important: Each time you pull out the drip tray, the waste coffee container must also be emptied, even if it is not completely full. If this is not done, when coffee is next made, the grounds in the container may exceed the maxi- mum level and block the appliance.

When you have removed the drip tray, the symbol flashes.

When the coffee machine is in daily use, empty the container daily. Always empty the container with the coffee machine switched on, otherwise the coffee machine does not register that the container has been emptied.

13.3 Cleaning the grinder

Use a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner to remove ground coffee residues from the coffee beans container.

Note! Never put water in the grinder. This would damage the grinder. 0 Press the "On/Off" key (Fig. 11) and the main switch (Fig. 8) to switch off the coffee machine. Unplug it from the mains socket. 0 Remove any remaining coffee beans (you could use the vacuum cleaner with the hose or crevice tool attach- ment for this).

If a foreign object is impossible to remove, contact the Customer Service Centre. Blocking or damage caused by foreign objects in the grinder might be excluded from the guarantee.

Caution! Risk of injury from the mov- ing 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. 0 Use a small quantity of coffee beans to 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 brewing unit, because the channel first has to be filled. This can influence the first cup of coffee.

13.4 Cleaning the brewing unit

We advise you to clean the brewing unit regularly (depending on how fre- quently it is used). If your coffee machine is to be left unused for some time (e.g. holidays), empty the waste coffee container and the water tank, and thoroughly clean the coffee machine, including the brewing unit. Proceed as follows: 0 Turn the appliance off by pressing the "On/Off" key (Fig. 11) (do not unplug) and wait for all symbols to go off. 0 Unlock and open the service door at the front by pushing the corresponding opening button (Fig. 30). 0 Remove the drip tray and the waste coffee container (Fig. 31) and clean them. 0 Press the two red release buttons on the brewing unit from the sides, press- ing towards the centre (Fig. 32), and pull it out. 822_949_351 CG6200.book Seite 44 Sonntag, 4. März 2007 11:22 23g

Important: The brewing unit can only be removed if the appliance is turned off with the ON/OFF key at the front of the machine. It should not be disconnected from the mains. Attempting to remove the brewing unit when the appliance is on may cause serious damage. 0 Wash the brewing unit under running water, without using detergents. Never wash the brewing unit in the dish- washer. 0 Clean the inside of the appliance thor- oughly. To remove coffee encrustations from the inside of the appliance, scrape with a plastic or wooden fork or similar tool that does not scratch the surface (Fig. 33), then vacuum up the residues with a vacuum cleaner (Fig. 34). 0 Replace the brewing unit (Fig. 36, a) by pushing it onto the holder (Fig. 36, b) and pushing in the pin (Fig. 36, c). The pin must be inserted into the pipe at the bottom of the brewing unit (Fig. 36, d). 0 Push the PUSH symbol (Fig. 36, e) firmly in until the brewing unit clicks into place. 0 After having heard the click, check that the red buttons (Fig. 36, f) have snapped out, otherwise the service door cannot be closed.

• Fig. 37: The two red buttons have snapped out correctly.

• Fig. 38: The two red buttons have not snapped out. 0 Replace the drip tray, complete with the waste coffee container. 0 Close the service door.

If the brewing unit is not inserted cor- rectly, i.e. when you can hear that it has clicked into place, and the two red buttons have not snapped out cor- rectly, the service door cannot be closed.

If it is hard to insert the brewing unit, before inserting it squeeze it to the right heigth by pressing it firmly from the top and bottom simultaneously, as shown in figure 35.

If it is still hard to insert the brewing unit, leave it out of the appliance, close the service door, unplug the appliance from the mains, then plug in again. Wait until all symbols has switched off, then open the service door and replace the brewing unit.
