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 temperature, 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 crème, that small crown of froth that makespresso-coffee so unmatched 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!

i Immediately after being switched on the coffee machine runs through a setup cycle. The noises this creates are completely normal.

GB

4.4 Switching the Coffee Machine Off

If you switch the coffee machine off with the "On/Off" key (Fig. 3, h) after you have finished making coffee, the machine carries out a flush program, during which time the "Empty grounds container" indicator (Fig. 3, j) flashes for about 1 minute as a reminder. If you switch the coffee machine off with the "On/Off" key (Fig. 3, h) 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 2.5mmol / l or up to 14^ German hardness, or up to 25.2^ French hardness

Three pink bands:

Hardness 3, hard up to 3.7mmol / l or up to 21^ German hardness, or up to 37.8^ French hardness

Four pink bands:

Hardness 4, very hard over 3.7mmol / l or over 21^ German hardness, or over 37.8^ French hardness

Setting and saving the water hardness level

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, g) The indicator illuminates, at the same time the "Coffee machine heating indicator (Fig. 3, i) flashes. When the heating process is finished, this 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.
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 selection dial for steam and hot water (Fig. 1, d) to position on all steam emission stops. Then turn the selection dial back to position
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 stainless steel one which should not be rinsed beforehand in hot water.
Swing out the steam nozzle and hold the mug under the steam nozzle so that the nozzle opening is just immersed in the milk.

Caution! Risk of impurities through 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.
Turn the Selection dial for steam and hot water (Fig. 1, D) to the position (Fig. 17). The milk is now frothed up.
Hold the mug steady during the frothing. 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, g) or wait ca. 60 sec., for the machine to automatically 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 Selection dial for steam and hot water (Fig. 1, D) to the position. This is necessary to prevent milk residues drying inside the nozzle, and thereby blocking it. Use a suitable container to catch the water. Afterwards turn the Selection dial for steam and hot water (Fig. 1, D) back to the position
Remove the frothing aid after each use (Fig. 18). For this, take hold of the frothing aid by the black seal and disengage 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 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.
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 container.

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.

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 page 40.

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 residues.

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 coffee brews "1 cup" resp. 8 coffee brews "2 cups", the "Empty grounds container" indicator (Fig. 3, j) 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.

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 Grinding

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, h) to switch off the coffee machine. Unplug from the mains socket.

urn the bean container so that the mark is at the "UnlockContainer" position and remove the container (Fig. 23).

remove any remaining coffee beans (you could use the vacuum cleaner with the hose or crevice tool attachment for this).

If a foreign body is impossible to remove, take off the grinding ring.

GB

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.
