Safety information

This operating manual and the safety information it contains will enable you to use the appliance safely. Failure to observe them could result in danger. Please keep this manual in a safe place. If you pass this appliance on to another owner, please include the manual with it.

This appliance is designed for preparing hot beverages as described in the instruction manual.

It is intended for domestic use only and for use in recreation areas and common rooms in offices and shops and in accommodation such as bed and breakfast, motels or hotel rooms.

The manufacturer accepts no liability for any consequences arising from commercial use, use other than for the intended purpose or failure to follow the instructions in this manual.

Requirements for correct operation:

Ensure that the appliance is undamaged and in proper working order before using it. If the appliance becomes defective, disconnect it from the power supply immediately and contact our customer services. Place the appliance on a stable, level and water-repellent surface out of the reach of children. Never place it on hot surfaces (e.g. hobs or hotplates) and never less than 50 cm from sources of fire or heat (such as microwave ovens). Do not operate the appliance from within cupboard.

Before connecting the unit to the mains, ensure that the supply voltage corresponds to the voltage stated on the rating plate. The appliance must only be connected to an earthed, three-pin socket. Connecting to the electricity supply in any other way may void the warranty.

To ensure that the power cable does not become damaged, observe the following:

• Do not make contact with sharp-edged or hot objects
  • Do not stand the appliance on the cable
• Do not pull the plug out of the socket by the supply cord
• Do not allow the supply cord to trail loosely as this poses a trip hazard

If the power supply cord becomes damaged, have it repaired by the manufacturer, its customer care or a similarly qualified person before using the appliance again.

If you expect to be away for a longer period or the appliance could be exposed to frost, please empty the appliance and remove the residual water (see p. 34–35: defrosting/purging the system with steam), unplug from the electricity supply and clean the appliance.

This appliance may be used by children of 8 years or older and also by persons with limited physical, sensory or mental capabilities or a lack of knowledge or experience provided that they have been adequately instructed in the safe use of the appliance and have understood the potential hazards arising from it. Do not let children play with the appliance. Do not let children carry out cleaning and user maintenance unless they are 8 years of age or older and under supervision.

Avoid scalding or injury:

Do not leave the appliance unattended while preparing hot beverages. Never open the handle on the appliance during the brewing, rinsing, cleaning or descaling processes. When opening the handle after completing the relevant process, never hold your finger underneath the beverage spout - risk of scalding due to residual liquid continuing to drip.

Safety information Safety information

When opening the handle to eject the capsule once the brewing process is complete, never bend the capsule insertion opening - risk of hot liquids spraying out! In addition, never insert your finger into the capsule opening - risk of injury. Never lift the appliance using the handle. Do not open it and ensure that children do not insert any objects into the appliance openings.

Always use the appliance with the drip tray and drip grid. In the event that in particular cases the drip tray is removed to prepare extra-large cups or glasses, take care to ensure that this is replaced immediately after the beverage is prepared. Do not overfill the water tank. For health reasons, only ever use fresh drinking water to fill the appliance.

Cleaning and maintenance:

Cleaning and descaling the appliance may only be carried out using the intended cleaning and descaling products. Proceed in accordance with the operating manual and safety instructions. Before cleaning the outside of the appliance, unplug it from the electricity supply and allow it to cool. Do not wet-clean the appliance, power cable or mains plug; do not place them under running water and do not immerse in liquid.

Caution: Alkaline cleaning products can damage the appliance. Never place the appliance or parts of it in the dishwasher. If you expect to be away for a longer period and at the end of each day, unplug the appliance from the power socket.

Apart from normal brewing and maintenance operation, all other measures such as the repair and replacement of the power cable may only be carried out by customer care authorised by the manufacturer.

Ensuring hygiene:

As it is possible to prepare beverages containing milk, there is an increased risk of germs forming within the milk system, which can be hazardous to health. Therefore, you must press the CLEAN button to briefly rinse out the milk system with hot water after every beverage containing milk is prepared. Always store the filled milk bottle in the refrigerator (at 4 to 6°C) and only retrieve it for the preparation of beverages. Always use fresh whole or semi-skimmed milk. Do not use fortified, flavoured milks or milk made from milk powder. You must clean the components of the milk system daily (in the dishwasher or by hand with a mild cleaning product, a soft cloth and using the supplied washing-up brush). In addition, activate the "Clean milk system" program as soon as possible if a corresponding error message appears on the display.

Use of beverage capsules:

To avoid hazards, never insert damaged or deformed beverage capsules. Should you experience any unusual interruptions to the brewing process, please contact our customer services.

In addition, use only original K-fee ^® – your system beverage capsules with the red K-fee ^® – your system logo and the characteristic grooved capsule shape.

In addition, this can damage the appliance and may void the warranty.

If non-original capsules are used in this appliance, the manufacturer and their sales partners do not accept any liability for injuries or material damages that occur as a direct consequence of this. This instruction is also available on: www.k-fee.com.au

Capsules to be used!

The use of non-original capsules can cause hot water and steam to escape due to the differences in the brewing processes and capsule structure – risk of scalding!

WARNING! The appliance produces extremely hot water (while brewing, descaling, cleaning, rinsing and purging system with steam). To avoid injuries, always take care to ensure that the handle is completely closed when the appliance is in operation. Never reach un- der the spout and do not remove the drip tray during operation – risk of scalding!

INFO!

If the appliance is not going to be used for a longer period of time, germs that are harmful to health can form in the residual water. There is the risk that the appliance is subjected to frost and functionality can be impaired due to frozen residual water. In both cases, residual water must be emptied from the appliance by purging the system with steam.

WARNING!

Purging the system with steam produces hot steam (up to 132°C) and hot water - risk of scalding! Do not reach under the spout and maintain a safe distance from the spout. The cup under the spout contains very hot water - please handle with care!

SAFETY NOTE!

Risk of damage: Use only a camp cloth and, if required, a mild cleaning solution. Do not use scouring agents or aggressive cleaning agents. Do not put appliance parts in the dishwasher under any circumstances.

1 The "Steam out" program can be found under the main menu, "Settings", then select "Maintenance / Cleaning" followed by "Steam out". Press or to confirm.

2 Empty and clean the water tank, then place it back in the appliance when empty. This automatically leads to the next step.
3 Open the handle to remove a capsule inside and close it again.
4 Place a highly heat-resistant cup under the spout. Once this is in position, you must press or to confirm this. Only then can the steaming off process continue.

8b If the appliance will then no longer be used for a longer period, you must take the following measures:

• After purging the system with steam, cleaning all recommended components and placing them back in the appliance, please unplug the appliance and disconnect from the power supply.
• Then remove, dismantle, clean, dry and reinsert the parts of the Capsuccinataore as described on page 29.

• Take the same steps with the components of the milk system. For more information, see the instructions on page 29.
- Finally, place the appliance on a dry, level surface - away from sources of heat such as gas or electric heaters and ovens and also protected from damp and frost.

INFO:

The water hardness essentially indicates how much calcium carbonate your water contains. The more calcium and magnesium ions it contains (these then forming insoluble compounds such as timescale or lime soaps when dissolved in water), the harder the water. Hard water leads to timescale deposits and calcification of the appliance while soft water is ideal for heating and better protects the appliance.

INFO:

It therefore essential to set the water handress, because this influences the descaling intervals and other functions recommended by the system, among other things - for optimal protection to ensure the unimpaired functionality of your capsule machine.

NOTE:

Use the supplied test strip to determine the hardness of your local water, fill a cup with water from the water supply. The colour change on the test strip indicates the water hardness. Then set this accordingly in the appliance.

The water hardness setting has been specified by the system during course of the initial start-up. The appliance cannot be used without this access to access the program from here.

You can, however, also modify the water hardness at a later date (for example after a house move). Then you must trigger the installation program usually. In the main menu "Settings", go to the "Water hardness" submenu press on to confirm both.

2 Five different water hardnesses are provided by the system: very hard, hard, middle, soft, super soft.

SAFETY INFORMATION!

The appliance only functions correctly with capsules from any brand that are labelled with the K-fee ^® – your system logo. The use of non-original capsules can result in the following risks: risks to health, damage to the appliance and possible loss of warranty claims.

Many malfunctions can be detected quickly, easily and early thanks to the comprehensive automatic alerts. As a general rule, it is sufficient to follow the corresponding instructions on the display to remedy the fault. If this is unsuccessful in rare cases, these questions and answers may help further.

Beverages are not dispensed properly?

Check whether the handle has been completely pressed down. If the error continues to persist, you must clean the appliance (see instructions on p. 26) and descale (see instructions on p. 30/31).

Beverage dispensing is delayed?

The appliance is heating up. Please be patient.

Liquid capacity during beverage preparation is insufficient?

The system could be calcified. Descale the appliance in accordance with the instructions on p. 30/31. If the problem continues to persist, please perform a factory reset on the appliance (see instructions on p. 38).

Beverage is not hot enough?

The heating element could be calcified. Descalc the appliance in accordance with the instructions on p. 30/31. If the error continues to persist, please contact our service centre.

Does the appliance need to be destalled even if a water filter is used?

Although the use of a water filter extends the descaling intervals considerably, it is no real substitute for such intervals. The appliance must be descaled regularly in any case because mineral deposits can occur depending on your regional water hardness and the installation site. An instruction message will be shown on the display if descaling is required. Regardless of this, we recommend descaling with the K-fee ^® -your system descaling agent once a year.

What should I do if the handle does not fully close once a capsule has been inserted?

First, ensure that there are no more used capsules in the brewing chamber and that the used capsule container has not been overfilled. Take care to ensure that the new capsule you have inserted is in the correct position.

What should I do if the used capsule container has been overfilled and jams?

Attempt to remove the used capsule container by rattling it slightly.

Frequently asked questions / Disposal information Frequently asked questions

What is the purpose of the auto off?

If the appliance is not in use, it will switch off automatically after either 5 minutes (factory setting) or after the time set by you under the "Auto off" feature (your programming – see instructions on p. 38). This reduces the energy consumption of your K-fee ^4 – your system capsule machine considerably. The appliance consumes considerably less power (under U. 5 W) than in operating mode. If you are absent for extended periods and at the end of each day, unplug the unit from the power socket.

Why is the CLEAN button flashing?

After each time a beverage containing milk is prepared, we recommend rinsing the milk system using the CLEAN button. Therefore, the button lights up as such as your beverage is finished. As a reminder to rinse, the button begins to flash after 180 seconds.

Why is the appliance dispensing no milk?

1. Ensure that there is enough milk in the milk bottle and that the components of the milk system are all connected correctly (see p. 29 for more information).
2. If necessary, rinse the milk system by pressing the CLEAN button (see p. 25) and clean it by hand (see p. 29).
3. The appliance could be calcified. Descal the appliance in accordance with the instructions on p. 30/51.

Milk foam is unsatisfactory?

1. The quality of the milk foam may vary depending on the type of milk and its temperature. Always use fresh, cold milk (whole or semi-skimmed) from the refrigerator.
2. Residue from cleaning agent in the milk bottle could impair the result. Rinse the milk system by pressing the CLEAN butter (see p. 25) and rinse the milk bottle and the components of the milk system again thoroughly.
3. The appliance could be calcified. Destale the appliance in accordance with the instructions on p. 30/31.

What do I need to do if there are error messages on the display?

Under no circumstances should you remedy error messages on the display yourself.

Please disconnect the appliance from the power supply immediately and try again one hour later. If the error message then continues to persist, please contact K-fee customer care.

There is a total of 5 possible errors (please report the applicable error to K-fee ^® – your system customer care):

1. Heater / Thermoblack not hearing

2. Temperature range (NTO) defined

3. Temperature sensor (1)

4. Ceramic value defect

5. PCE failure
