Frequently Asked Questions - ES 175 Atrium

How to prepare an espresso with the Atrium ES 175?

Fill the water tank, place the filter (1 or 2 cups) in the filter holder, add ground coffee and tamp lightly. Turn on the appliance (O/I button), wait for the READY indicator to go off, then turn the function selector to the cup symbol. Espresso flows. Stop with the selector on O.

How to make a cappuccino?

First prepare an espresso. Rotate the steam wand outward, fill a container with 1/3 cold milk, press the steam button, immerse the wand just below the milk surface and turn the selector to steam. Move the container up and down until foam forms. Stop and pour the foam over the espresso.

How to get hot water from the machine?

Turn on the appliance, turn the steam knob to the liquid symbol, place a container under the wand, wait for the READY indicator to go off, then turn the selector to steam to dispense hot water.

Why does the coffee not flow or flow slowly?

The ground coffee may be too fine or too tamped. Use a suitable grind and tamp lightly. Also check that the filter holder is properly locked and the filter is not clogged. Regularly clean the filter holes with a brush.

How to clean the steam wand after use?

Wipe the wand with a damp cloth immediately after use. For dried deposits, soak the tip in water overnight. You can also steam through a container of water to descale.

What does the READY indicator mean?

The READY indicator (left of the selector) lights up when the appliance heats up. It goes off when the water temperature is reached. If it lights up again during extraction, wait for it to go off before continuing.

How to descale the machine?

The manual does not specify a particular descaling method, but it is recommended to use a coffee machine descaler every 2-3 months. Fill the tank with the solution, run hot water without coffee, then rinse thoroughly with fresh water.

What to do if the machine does not turn on?

Check that the power outlet works and that the On/Off button (O/I) is set to I. Ensure the water tank is properly positioned. If nothing happens, contact after-sales service.

How to empty the drip tray?

The drip tray (14) is located at the front. A red level indicator shows when it's full. To empty, remove the tray completely and lift out the grid. Clean it regularly with soapy water.

Can I use pods or regular ground coffee?

The Atrium ES 175 is designed for regular ground coffee. Use the provided filters (1 or 2 cups). Pods are not compatible.

Before Start-up

Unpack the Espresso machine carefully. Take out all the accessories and the packing material. Wash the accessories in a sink. To clean the device, carry out 2-3 complete cycles with clean water before brewing the first espresso. Proceed as described in item 1 to 8 of “Making an Espresso” without using espresso coffee though.

Making a Espresso

1. Connect the machine to a correctly installed 230 V, 50 Hertz safety socket.

2. Ensure that the on/off switch (O/I) (6) is in the O position.

3. Place the draining grid in the indentation of the draining tray.

4. Open the lid and remove the water tank by the handle.

5. Fill the required amount of fresh clear water into the tank.

6. Release the filter holder (10) by turning the handle to the left (INSERT).

7. Place the filter (12 or 13) into the filter holder (10). Now add one to two level measuring spoons of coffee. Distribute the coffee evenly and press the coffee powder lightly with a measuring spoon or other spoon. The aim of pressing the coffee powder with the spoon is to distribute it evenly in the coffee bowl rather than compressing it. We recommend a flat surface plunger. Ensure that the filter holder is firmly fixed in the percolating head.

8. In order to preheat your espresso cups, place them on the warming plate (2) above the percolating head.

9. Switch the machine on using the on/off switch (O/I) (6). The control lamps (4+5) located on the right and left in the function control light up.

10. When the water has reached the required temperature, the control lamp (5) on the right-hand side (READY) switches off. Note: if the control lamp lights up again before percolation is finished, the water temperature is no longer high enough. Turn the function selection switch (3) to O and wait for the lamp to go out again. You can now continue preparing the espresso.

11. Remove the espresso cup(s) from the warming plate (2) and place them under the percolating head.

12. Turn the function switch (3) to the symbol showing the espresso cup.

13. The espresso is now ready and is poured into the cup(s).

14. When percolation is finished, turn the function switch (3) back to the O position.

15. Switch the machine off using the on/off switch (O/I) (6).

16. After brewing wait for a few seconds before removing the filter. Turn the handle of the filter holder from right to left. Pay attention to the steam! To remove the used coffee, hold the filter by using the special lever (11) on the handle in the relevant position. Turn the filter holder (10) and knock out the used coffee. Remove the filter holder (10) after making an espresso. By doing so, you will extend the service life of the rubber seal in the brewing head. To make other espressos, fill the coffee bowl (12 or 13) with coffee powder again and carry out the brewing procedure as described above.

Making a Cappuccino

GB

To make a cappuccino, you must first make an espresso. Proceed as described under "Making an Espresso" from steps 1 to 13. To froth the milk, proceed as follows:

1. Make sure that the function selector (3) is in O position.
2. Swing the steam nozzle (8) out so that you can position the container (please use a heat-resistant container) comfortably under the nozzle.
3. Fill the container up to a 1/3 with fresh cold milk (warm, hot or stale milk does not froth).
4. Switch the steam function switch (7) on.
5. Dip the steam nozzle (8) slightly below the surface of the milk in the container and turn the function selector (3) to the left (Steam symbol).
6. Move the container slightly up and down. Once the milk reaches the desired volume, you can warm the milk more by lowering the steam nozzle (8) to the bottom of the container. Do not make the milk boil or the froth will be ruined.
7. Turn the function selector (3) back to the O position and switch the device off with the On/Off (O/I) (6) switch.
8. Scoop out the froth into the espresso. Add liquid milk. A cappuccino is usually composed of 1/3 coffee, 1/3 hot milk and 1/3 frothed milk.

Your cappuccino is now ready. Improve the flavor by adding some cinnamon or chocolate powder.

Hot Water

You can even use the Espresso machine to make tea, hot drinks and meat soups. Make sure that the tank has enough cold water.

1. Switch on the device with the On/Off (O/I) (6) switch. Both LED's (4 - 5) to the left and right of the function selector light up.
2. Switch the steam function button (7) to the liquid symbol.
3. Swing the steam nozzle out so and position a heat-resistant container under the steam nozzle.
4. When the READY LED (5) is off, the water has reached the right temperature and the function selector (3) can be turned to the left to Steam position.
5. The hot water now flows into the container.
6. Once this procedure is over, Turn the function selector (3) back to the O position and switch the device off with the On/Off (O/I) (6) switch.

Cleaning

After frothing milk, the steam nozzle is to be immediately cleaned from all milk residues.

If the milk dries, it becomes difficult to remove. Soak the steam tube in a container with water over night so that the milk residue softens. Place a heat-resistant container full of water under the nozzle so that the nozzle is dipped in the water. Turn the function selector to Steam position. Wipe the steam nozzle with a moist cloth to

GB

remove the milk residue before it hardens. The water tank, drip tray, drip tray cover, filter, filter holder and the hotplate can be washed by hand in a sink with warm water. Do not use abrasive detergents. Wash the parts regularly. If the filter's holes are clogged, clean it with a fine brush.

Do not wash the machine.

Never wash the parts or accessories in a dishwasher. The drip tray has an overflow protection. A red-marked "float" is found in the tray. The more water the drip tray contains, the higher the float rises. To empty the tray you can remove the drip tray completely and lift the grid.

This device has been tested according to all relevant current CE guidelines, such as electromagnetic compatibility and low voltage directives, and has been constructed in accordance with the latest safety regulations.
