IMPORTANT:

If you have just made coffee using ground coffee, and now want to work with single-portion bags, you must first of all clean the machine, getting rid of any residue of ground coffee that remains. For this purpose you should turn the left knob to the water that is emitted will clean the brewing head.

3.6.2 With single-portion bags (pads)

6

Single-portion bags, like tea bags, are ready-measured portions of coffee, each for one cup. Using single-portion bags you can make your coffee quickly, reliably and without a hitch.

You should use the sieve support together with the smaller sieve for single-portion bags 6.

Note:

With single-portion bags you can only make one cup of coffee at a time in each brewing operation.

3.7 The «AUTO COFFEE FLOW» SYSTEM (AEF®)

Close-up of a metallic kitchen brush head with control knob and dial (no visible text or symbols)

7

Your machine comes equipped with the «Auto Coffee Flow» system (AEF®). This patented electronic throughflow regulator allows you to select the water quantity for your coffee (selection is continuously variable), and so achieve exactly the coffee taste you prefer, because just the quantity of coffee you have specified will always flow into the cup. As soon as the quantity you have selected has been reached, the pump will stop automatically.

To select the water quantity, and thus the strength of your coffee, you use the continuously variable settings of the AEF® controls. You can set the quantity to any level you like, from a large cup (about 110 ml) to a half-cup of espresso (about 30 ml) or anything in between.

3.8 Making cappuccino

Cappuccino is a mixture of coffee and milk froth. You can use your machine to make real cappuccino.

To make cappuccino, besides other ingredients you should have ready a container half filled with skimmed or low-fat milk, and some large cups.

The lower the fat content of the milk, the more solid will be the froth. Using the steam pipe you can produce perfect milk froth – just take care that the milk does not boil.

NB: you should use large cups.

Turn the power switch to ●. The red operating display will light up. When the green operating display lights up, the machine is ready.

SPlace the container half filled with milk below the steam pipe in such a way that the nozzle is a little below the surface of the milk. Never let the steam pipe be completely covered by the milk.

8

First of all, open the steam valve slowly by turning the knob one revolution counterclockwise 8. Then open the valve completely.

Move the container with the milk in a circle below the steam pipe, taking care that the nozzle should only be a little below the surface of the milk. The steam pipe has small openings through which it must be possible for air to be sucked in – so these must not be covered by the milk. Take care that the milk is not allowed to boil – otherwise it will not foam.

When the milk has become frothy, close the steam valve by turning the knob clockwise, and remove the container. Let the frothy milk stand for about 15 seconds, before you add it to the coffee.

Add the milk froth to the coffee with a spoon, and then pour the milk in carefully at the edge of the cup. Then dust the milk froth with cinnamon, cocoa, nutmeg or chocolate powder. Done!

TIP:

If you want to make coffee immediately after foaming milk, you must refill the water tank and lower the operating temperature of the machine – otherwise the coffee will taste burnt. To lower the operating temperature, turn the knob to and let some water run off without any ground coffee. After this you will be able to make coffee again.

3.9. Hot water supply

To make tea, bouillon or any other hot drink, you can use your machine to obtain fresh hot water:

Take out the water tank and fill it with water.

Connect power.

Turn power switch to ●. The red display, showing the machine is ready to operate, will light up.

Hold the cup under the steam pipe.

Open the steam valve (on the right side of the machine) and turn the left knob to 📄

When you have as much water as you need, turn the left knob to ● and close the steam valve.

3.10. Cleaning the machine

Close-up of a stainless steel coffee machine with a lever and handle (no visible text or symbols)

10

Clean the steam pipe after every time it is used, so that the nozzle and the small openings in the pipe do not get blocked 10. Milk that has dried on can be difficult to remove subsequently.

To clean, hold a damp cloth firmly below the nozzle and open the steam valve. Leave the valve open for one or two seconds, to clean the nozzle. Then wipe the surface of the steam pipe with the damp cloth.

The steam pipe may be removed. Simply turn it a little, and pull firmly. To clean it, soak it in hot water, then rinse and replace. If necessary you can also use a needle to clean the openings in the steam pipe.

From time to time you should also unscrew the nozzle at the bottom of the steam pipe and clean it carefully.

The sieve support and sieve should be cleaned after use with water and a small quantity of detergent.

Remove the drip tray and drip grate and clean them with warm water and a small quantity of detergent. For cleaning the drip tray, we would advise you to use a damp sponge.

Coffee grounds have a tendency to collect on the brewing head insulating seal. You should keep the seal clean, otherwise the taste of your coffee will be impaired.

If the coffee machine has not been used for some time, before making coffee you should first remove the standing water that remains in the hose system.

First fill the water tank with fresh water. Then turn the left knob to After a few seconds, again turn the knob to The stale water will now have been removed from the hose system.

Important:

Never activate the left knob when there is no water in the water tank, or the pump could be damaged.

3.11. Descaling the machine

Depending on the hardness of your water supply and the frequency with which the machine is used, the coffee machine should be descaled every 4 to 6 weeks. If your coffee becomes noticeably colder, or if it only runs out slowly, this indicates that it is time for the equipment to be descaled.

To do this, you would be advised to use TURMIX Calco Clean (art. 11458) or some other descaling agent for coffee machines that is standard in the trade. It is essential to get the right concentration. Never use vinegar, as this could damage the seals of the machine.

Descaling procedure:

1. Switch on the machine.
2. Place a sufficiently large vessel below the coffee dispensing outlet, and a second one below the hot water nozzle.
3. Fill the water tank with 500 ml of cold water and 100 ml of Calco Clean.
4. Activate the coffee dispensing switch without inserting the sieve holder, and let about half of the solution run through. Let the remainder run out through the hot water nozzle into the second vessel.
5. Repeat this procedure with the same solution once more.
6. Rinse the water tank thoroughly with clean water, and fill it with fresh water. Again place the vessels below the coffee dispensing outlet and the hot water nozzle, and let half the water that is in the tank run out through each in order to clean out the system.
7. Fill the water tank once more with fresh cold water.
8. Your machine is now ready to operate.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

To descale the machine, you should only use products standard in the trade that are recommended for use with coffee machines. Damage to the machine that may be caused by scale deposits will not be covered by the guarantee. Cleaning and maintenance operations other than those described here should only be carried out by qualified persons.

3.12. TURMIX technology

CREMAKER® SIEVE:

This patented filter sieve for the sieve support will guarantee a solid froth (cream) on your coffee. Can be used for one cup (small sieve) or two (large sieve).
