Before using for the first time or after long periods of non-use, the machine must be flushed out in order to clean the internal piping thoroughly.

• Fill the water tank with fresh water. You can fill the tank without removing it by lifting the cover and pouring water using a jug, or you can remove the tank. To do so, tilt the tank towards you and lift it up.

• Fill the tank to the MAX level, place the cover back and slide the tank back in the receptacle. Note: Make sure the tank is full and correctly placed, that the lever is down and there is no capsule inside.

• Plug in the coffee machine and press the power button. The lights will blink while the machine is heating up. This process takes about 45 seconds.

• Place a large recipient (minimum 250 ml capacity) under the coffee outlet.

• Press the large coffee cup button; the flush out process will stop automatically when complete. Water pump If the machine has trouble pumping water after a long non-use period or before the first use, you can pump the water manually:

• Insert the pipe into the water inlet at the back of the machine.

• Pour water into the pipe and inject the water from the pipe into the machine so that the internal circuit is filled with water.

• If necessary, repeat the operation two or three times.7 SC MCM 5000

COFFEE PREPARATION Filling the tank with fresh water : There are two ways to fill the water tank :

• Unlock the cover and then the water tank itself by tilting it backwards in a small angle as shown on the picture below (1) and fill it directly under the tap (2). Then slide the water tank carefully in its base and lock the cover into position.

• Unlock the water tank cover (1) and fill in the tank directly with water (2). Then lock back the cover into position.

• Fill the tank up to the “MAX” mark (0.6 litre or 1.05 gallon) with fresh water.

Filling the adaptor with coffee: There are three adaptors related to four types of coffee conditioning :

• Nespresso capsules are to be inserted in the Nespresso adaptor only, with the small side up and the large side down. The Nespresso adaptor has to be unlocked by gently pressing its lid (1) before inserting the capsule (2) and locked back.

• Dolce-Gusto Capsules are to be inserted in the Dolce-Gusto adaptor only, with the small side down and the large side up.

• Ground coffee is to be poured in the ground coffee adaptor only. Unlock the lid of the ground coffee adaptor and pour some coffee powder in it (1) then press down the coffee powder with the flat backside of the ground coffee spoon provided (2) and lock back the lid.9 SC MCM 5000

The ground coffee adaptor can also be used with ESE coffee pods. Insert the stainless steel cup inside the adaptor of coffee powder (1), place an appropriate coffee pod inside (2) and close the lid.

• Unlock the coffee adaptor receptacle by lifting up the lever (1)

• Push the chosen and properly filled coffee adaptor into the receptacle (2).

• Lock back the adaptor in by pulling the lever down (3).

• There is a sharp needle in the coffee adaptor receptacle to pierce the capsule. Never touch it with your fingers.

• When the brewing stops, lift up the lever and pull out the coffee adaptor to eject the used capsule or discard the coffee grounds.

PROGRAMMING THE WATER VOLUME

• Small coffee cup button : the coffee machine will brew a short Espresso for 16 seconds if you use a coffee capsule and 25 seconds if you use ground coffee.

• Large coffee cup button : the coffee machine will brew a Lungo coffee for 35 seconds if you use a coffee capsule and 47 seconds if you use ground coffee. Personalized brewing : To customize the brewing time, place some water in the tank and a cup under the coffee outlet. Then press and hold the small coffee button as long as it takes to get the desired volume for a short Espresso served in the cup. Also press and hold the large coffee cup button as long as it takes to get the desired volume for a Lungo coffee served in the cup. These settings will be saved and repeated every next time you will press the small or large coffee cup buttons. Note: the minimum and maximum brewing times are 10 seconds and 90 seconds respectively. To revert to the factory settings, unplug the machine, press and hold the large coffee cup button then insert the plug into the socket. The indicator lights will flash twice to confirm the reboot of the settings.11 SC MCM 5000

The machine enters energy saving mode automatically once it has been idle for 15 minutes. To quit energy saving mode, press the power button, the lights will start blinking indicating that the appliance is warming up. When the lights stop blinking, the machine is ready for use. To disable the standby mode, press and hold the small and large coffee cup buttons at the same time then insert the plug to the socket. The power button will light up. Press then the small coffee cup button. The small coffee cup button light will turn off, indicating that the standby mode is disabled.

• Rinse the brewing baskets under clean water.

• Wipe the exterior of the machine with a soft damp cloth regularly.

• Make sure all the removable parts are completely dry before reassembling.

DESCALING To keep the coffee quality to the highest, the machine should be descaled every 1 to 2 months or if the output is significantly reduced. It is recommended to use a commercially available descaling solution made for coffee machines.

• Fill the tank completely with the descaling solution diluted with water according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Make sure there is no capsule in the machine.

• Place a large bowl under the coffee outlet.

• Press the Lungo button as you would do normally to brew coffee and repeat until the tank is empty. Repeat the process once again with the new descaling solution.

• After all the descaling solution has been flushed out, repeat the process with a tank of fresh water to rinse the internal circuit completely. Notes: Never use vinegar, this may damage the machine and give a bad taste to your coffee.SC MCM 5000
