Frequently Asked Questions - SC MCM 5000 Efbe-Schott

What types of capsules can I use with the Efbe-Schott SC MCM 5000 coffee machine?

You can use Nespresso capsules (small side up) and Dolce Gusto capsules (small side down), as well as ground coffee and ESE pods using the included adapters.

How to fill the water tank?

Two methods: either by lifting the lid and pouring water directly with a jug, or by removing the tank (tilt it towards you and lift) to fill it under the tap. Do not exceed the MAX level (0.6 L) and use water below 35°C.

What to do if coffee does not come out?

First check that the water tank is not empty. If the problem persists, there may be a buildup of limescale. Perform a descaling with a special solution. Also ensure the adapter is correctly inserted and the lever is properly lowered.

How to customize the coffee volume?

Place a cup under the outlet, then press the Espresso or Lungo button and hold it down until you get the desired volume. The brewing time (between 10 and 90 seconds) will be saved automatically. To reset to factory settings, unplug the machine, hold the Lungo button, and plug it back in.

How does the energy saving mode work?

The machine automatically goes into standby mode after 15 minutes of inactivity. To disable it, simultaneously hold down the Espresso and Lungo buttons while plugging in the machine, then press the Espresso button. The Espresso button light turns off to confirm.

How often should I descale the machine?

It is recommended to descale every 1 to 2 months, or as soon as the coffee flow decreases. Use a commercial descaling solution, never vinegar. Fill the tank with the mixture, run several Lungo cycles, then rinse with clean water.

Why won't the lever close?

The coffee adapter is probably not placed correctly. Push it firmly into its receptacle, making sure it is fully inserted, then lower the lever. Also check that the adapter type matches the capsule or coffee being used.

How to clean the machine?

Rinse the adapters with clean water. Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Clean the removable drip tray with a soft sponge and mild detergent. Dry all parts before reassembling. Never immerse the appliance in water.

The machine is leaking, what should I do?

Check if the water tank valve is blocked and if the drip tray is not full. Clean the valve if necessary. Make sure the tank is properly locked in place. If the leak persists, contact customer service.

Can I use ESE pods?

Yes, insert the stainless steel adapter for ESE pods into the ground coffee adapter, place a pod, close the lid, then insert the whole assembly into the machine. Make sure to lock the lever properly.

BEFORE FIRST USE

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.

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.

Caution :

• Fill the tank up to the "MAX" mark (0.6 litre or 1.05 gallon) with fresh water.
  • The water temperature can be max 35^ C

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.

Caution :

• 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

Default settings :

• 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.

ENERGY SAVING MODE

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.

CLEANING

• Rinse the brewing baskets under clean water.
• Wipe the exterior of the machine with a soft damp cloth regularly.
• Clean the removable drip tray and cover with a soft wet sponge and mild detergent.
  • 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.
