Choosing the right type of coffee

• The coffee should be freshly ground and dark roasted. You might want to try a French or Italian roast for your espresso. Pre-ground coffee only retains its avour for 7-8 days if it is stored in an airtight container in a cool place.

• Do not store coffee in a fridge or freezer.

• We recommend that you grind whole beans only shortly before use. Coffee beans stored in an airtight container retain their avour for up to 4 weeks. Note: Do not use sugar-roasted ground coffee or sugar-roasted coffee beans, as these can clog the lter and damage the machine. If sugar-roasted coffee is accidentally used, stop using the machine immediately and take it to an electrician for servicing. Choosing the right grind

• The coffee must be nely ground. When ground correctly, the coffee powder should look like salt.

• If the grinding is too ne, the water cannot ow through the coffee even under pressure. In this case, the coffee powder looks like powder and feels like our when rubbed between your ngers.

• If the grinding is too coarse, the water ows through the coffee too quickly, preventing a full-bodied extraction.

• Make sure you use a quality grinder for an even consistency.22

1. Remove the sieve holder by turning it clockwise. Add ground coffee with the

measuring spoon into the coffee sieve, making about one spoon of coffee powder per cup. Press the ground coffee powder rmly together with the measuring spoon.

2. Insert the coffee sieve into the sieve holder and make sure that the tube of the sieve

holder is aligned with the groove in the machine. From the LOCK position, turn the sieve holder counterclockwise until it is in the CLOSE position.

3. Place a cup on the drip plate. Place a cup on the drip plate. Make sure that the

knob is in a horizontal position (Off position).

4. Select SINGLE/DOUBLE CUP by pressing the corresponding button. After you

have waited a moment, the coffee will ow out.

5. The machine stops working when the coffee preparation is nished.

6. When the coffee preparation is nished, remove the sieve holder by turning it

clockwise and dispose the coffee grounds. Note: Do not leave the coffee machine unattended during the coffee preparation, because sometimes you have to intervene manually!

HOT WATER DISPENSING

After you have preheated the appliance, place a cup under the steam pipe. Turn the rotary control to the hot water symbol and hot water comes out of the steam pipe. When you have tapped the desired amount, turn the knob back to the horizontal position (off position).23

Note: While you are producing steam, the sieve holder must be in its position in the device. Let off steam for 10 seconds before frothing the milk. To do this, press the STEAM button. The steam indicator ashes. If the steam indicator is permanently lit, preheating is complete.

1. Prepare espresso rst, as described in the ESPRESSO PREPARATION chapter.

2. Pour 100 ml of milk (per cappucchino) into a cup. Use cool milk from the

refrigerator. Make sure that the cup is large enough, as the milk doubles its volume during frothing.

3. Insert the steam pipe about two centimeters into the milk and then turn the knob to

the position . Steam comes out of the steam tube. Foam the milk by moving the cup up and down. CAUTION Danger of injury! Take care to work carefully, as the hot steam can cause scalding.

4. When the milk is frothed up, turn the control knob back to the horizontal position (off

position). Note: Clean the steam pipe with a wet sponge immediately after the end of steam generation.

5. Pour the frothed milk into the prepared espresso, the cappuccino is now ready.

Sweeten to taste and, if desired, sprinkle the foam with some cocoa powder. Important notes

• With the steam pipe you can also simply foam milk to make hot drinks like drinking chocolate.

• After foaming, you can immediately press the SINGLE/DOUBLE CUP button to brew coffee again. The cup display ashes quickly if the temperature is too high. To reduce the temperature, turn the controller to the hot water setting to dispense hot water. When the temperature goes down ,the pump will stop automatically and you should turn the knob off , then you can brew coffee again.

• If you do not want to brew coffee when the high temperature warning appears, you can press the SINGLE/DOUBLE CUP button again to cancel the process.24

Set output quantity for individual cups Press and hold the SINGLE CUP button for 3 seconds to enter the dispensing amount setting mode. Then press the SINGLE CUP button again. The coffee will start dispensing and the SINGLE CUP indicator will ash. When the desired dispensing quantity is reached, press the SINGLE CUP button again and the machine stops dispensing. At this point, the single cup output quantity setting is nished and will be saved for the next operation. The adjustable output quantity for single cups is between 25-60 ml. Setting the output quantity of the double cup Press and hold the DOUBLE CUP button for 3 seconds to enter the output quantity setting mode. Then press the DOUBLE CUP button again. The coffee will start dispensing and the DOUBLE CUP indicator will ash. When the desired serving quantity is reached, press the DOUBLE CUP button again and the machine stops serving. At this point, the setting for the output quantity of the single cup is nished and is saved for the next operation. The adjustable output quantity for double cups is between 70 ml and 110 ml. Restoring the factory setting Press and hold the SINGLE CUP and DOUBLE CUP buttons simultaneously for 3seconds to restore the factory preset dispensing quantity.

• If there is no operation within 29 minutes after pressing the power button, the device will switch off automatically.

• If there is no operation after pressing the power switch after pumping approx. 215ml of water, the pump switches off automatically.

• After pressing the power button, the pump switches off automatically if it is not in operation for 180 seconds during milk frothing.25

Water outlet, steam pipe and steam cap

• After frothing the milk, turn the steam knob all the way up so that the steam outlet releases steam for a few seconds and cleans the steam pipe and steam attachment.

• Allow the steam pipe and steam cap to cool after milk frothing. Clean the steam tube and steam cap immediately with a damp cloth. This will prevent milk residues from accumulating. Removable appliance parts and housing Clean the sieve and the sieve support with water. Clean the appliance surface, drip tray and drip tray cover with a damp cloth. Descaling When the machine needs to be descaled, all indicators ash 5 times and then the machine returns to normal. The descaling warning is displayed each time the appliance is switched on if you do not cancel the descaling process. The frequency of cleaning depends on the hardness of the water used. The following table lists the suggested cleaning intervals: Water hardness Cleaning interval Soft (ltered water) Every 80 brewing cycles Hard (from the tap) Every 40 brewing cycles Fill the tank with water and descaling solution to about 35 mm above the lowest water level (MIN). The proportion of descaling solution used depends on the operating instructions on the descaling solution. Only use special descaler solution for coffee machines. If you do not have a descaling solution, you can use citric acid instead. The ratio of water to citric acid is 100:5 (5% citric acid). Fill the water tank with the mixture and run the mixture through the machine once. Then ll the tank with fresh, clean water up to the MAX mark and let the water run through again. Note: When the descaling process is complete, you must cancel the descaling

warning: Press and hold the single cup button and the double cup button and the

steam button simultaneously for 3 seconds.26

Which powder is right for the espresso machine? The right powder can be identied by the shape of the powder after it has been compressed in the sieve:

• If the powder is mushy, it is too ne.

• If the powder crumbles, it is too coarse.

• If the powder holds rmly together, it is suitable. What is the right amount of powder?

• If you are preparing 1 espresso, put a spoon (about 8 g) of espresso powder in the small sieve.

• If you are preparing 2 espressos, put two spoons (about 16 g) of espresso powder in the large sieve. What is the function of the steam cap on the steam tube? It ensures that the milk is swirled by the steam. This makes the milk foam rmer and ner. Why can‘t the milk be frothed?

• Make sure that the milk used is cold.

• Do not froth the milk for too long. If it gets too hot, no milk foam can form.27

What can you do if the bubbles in the milk foam are unevenly large? Knock on the milk cup to remove large bubbles. Then shake the milk cup horizontally to completely mix the milk and milk foam. Which milk is suitable for frothing? Low-fat milk is easy to foam, but the bubbles and foam are slightly larger and looser. Whole milk is more difcult to foam, but the milk foam becomes thick and tough. What to do if no steam comes out of the steam attachment?

• This is usually because the steam pipe and the steam cap have not been cleaned after milk frothing and milk residues block the steam pipe.

• Try cleaning the pipe with a small cleaning brush.

• If this does not help, add vinegar and water to the water tank at a ratio of 1:1. Then start the steam function to clean the hose. Then top up with fresh water and restart the steam function.

• If the problem persists, contact your service representative.28
