Frequently Asked Questions - Cafamosa CF 250 AEG-ELECTROLUX

How do I descale the AEG-Electrolux Cafamosa CF 250?

Use the built-in descaling program: fill the water tank with descaling solution (white vinegar or commercial descaler) up to level MAX, press the DESCALE button, and follow the instructions on the display. Rinse thoroughly after.

Can I use pre-ground coffee instead of beans?

Yes, the machine has a bypass doser for pre-ground coffee. Open the lid on top of the bean hopper and add a scoop of ground coffee. Select the PRE-GROUND option on the control panel.

How often should I clean the brew unit?

Clean the brew unit at least once a week or after every 200 cups. Remove it by opening the side door, rinse under running water (no detergent), and let it dry before reinserting.

Why is my coffee not hot enough?

Ensure the machine is preheated by running a rinse cycle. Also check that the temperature setting is not set to low. If the issue persists, the thermoblock may need descaling.

How do I adjust the grind setting?

Turn the grind adjustment knob inside the bean hopper while the grinder is running. A finer grind for a stronger taste, coarser for milder coffee. Adjust one notch at a time and test.

What does the red light mean?

The red light indicates that the machine needs descaling or that the water tank is empty. Refill the tank and reset the alarm. If it persists, initiate the descaling program.

Can I use the steam wand to make hot milk without frothing?

Yes, you can heat milk without frothing by inserting the steam wand just below the surface. For froth, keep the tip at the surface to incorporate air. Practice to get the desired texture.

How do I clean the milk frother?

After each use, purge the steam wand by running steam for a few seconds. For deep cleaning, detach the frothing nozzle (if possible) and soak it in warm water with mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly.

What is the water hardness setting?

Press the MENU button, navigate to water hardness, and select the appropriate level (1-4) based on a test strip. This ensures optimal descaling intervals.

Where can I find spare parts?

Spare parts such as the brew unit, water filter, and seal rings are available at authorized AEG-Electrolux service centers or online. Use the model number Cafamosa CF 250 for correct parts.

Dear Customer,

Please read this user manual carefully, paying special attention to the safety notes! Keep the manual in a safe place for later reference, and pass it on to any new owner.

Your fully automated AEG coffee machine guarantees you

• Absolute ease of operation, both in making coffee and in maintenance and care
  The excellent, individual taste is achieved by
• The pre-brewing system: before the coffee is brewed, it is first moistened to extract its full aroma
• The individually controllable amount of water per cup, from a short espresso to a "long" milky coffee
• The individually controllable temperature, at which the coffee is made
  • The choice between a normal or a strong cup of coffee
• The grinding texture – adjustable to the roast of the coffee beans, and
• Last, but not least, the guaranteed crema, that small crown of froth that makes espresso-coffee so unmatchable for connoisseurs

Did you know? The time the water is in contact with the ground coffee is considerably less for espresso coffee than conventional filter coffee. As a result, less bitterness is released from the ground coffee- making espresso-coffee that much milder!

• Caution! Danger of scalding when the steam nozzle is activated! Hot water or steam output can cause scalding. Activate the steam nozzle only when you are holding a container under the nozzle.

• Do not use steam to heat inflammable liquids!

• Only use the coffee machine with water in the system! Fill the water tank with cold water. Do not use hot water, milk or other liquids. Do not exceed the maximum fill level of 1.5 litres.

• Do not put frozen or caramelised coffee beans in the bean container. Use only roast coffee beans! Remove any foreign bodies from the coffee beans. Failure to do this invalidates the guarantee.
• Spoon only ground coffee into the ground coffee filler.
• Do not leave the coffee machine switched on unnecessarily.
• Do not expose the coffee machine to the weather.
• When using an extension cable, ensure that this is an earthed cable with a core diameter of at least 1.5 ~mm^2 .
• To prevent any personal hazard, people with motor disorders should use the coffee machine only in the presence of another adult.
• Operate the coffee machine only with the drip tray and the drip grille fitted!

Safety in cleaning and care

• Follow the cleaning and descaling instructions.
• Switch off the coffee machine and unplug from the mains socket before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning!
• Do not immerse the coffee machine in water.
• Clean the steam nozzle only when the coffee machine is switched off and there is no pressure!
• Do not clean coffee machine parts in the dishwasher.
• Never put water in the grinder. This would damage the grinder.

Never open or repair the coffee machine. Faulty repairs can result in considerable hazard to the user.

Repairs to electrical appliances must be carried out only by qualified service engineers.

If a repair becomes necessary – including replacement of the mains lead, please contact

• the dealer where you bought the coffee machine, or
• an AEG Customer Service Centre.
  If the coffee machine is used incorrectly, or for a purpose other than its intended purpose, we cannot accept any liability for damage caused or any guarantee claims. This provision also applies if the cleaning and descaling programs are not run in accordance with the instructions in this manual, immediately after illumination of the "Clean" key (Fig. 3, f) or the "Descale" key (Fig. 3, e).

2 Before Using for the First Time

2.1 Setting Up and Connecting the Coffee Machine

Choose a suitable, horizontal, stable, unheated, dry base. Ensure good air circulation.

Important! If the coffee machine is brought into a warm room from a cold environment, wait about two hours before switching on!

We advise you to place the coffee machine on a suitable mat to prevent damage being caused by spray and splashes.

Hold the bean container with the marking on the "Unlockcontainer" position, and set it in place (Fig. 4). The bottom opening of the bean container must be closed (Fig. 4,a). If it is not closed (Fig. 4,b), insert the tip of a ballpoint pen in the small oval hole (arrow), and turn to close the opening.
Now turn the bean container anti-clockwise to one of the two other positions.
Push the drip tray in, until it engages on the right under the water tank (Fig. 5).
Plug the coffee machine into an earthed mains socket. Do not use a socket that is not earthed!
If you do not need the full length of the mains lead, open the cable compartment on the back of the coffee machine, and tidy away the unused lead (Fig. 6).

2.2 Filling with Water

Before each time you switch on the coffee machine, check that there is water in the water tank. The coffee machine requires water for the automatic flushing processes each time the machine is switched on or off.

Remove the water tank from the coffee machine (Fig. 7).

Fill the water tank with fresh cold water (Fig. 8).

Pour only fresh cold water in the water tank. Never put in other liquids, e.g. mineral water or milk.
Replace the water tank (Fig. 7). Press the tank firmly in, to ensure that the water-tank valve opens.
If the water tank is not in place when the coffee machine is switched on, or the water level is low, the "Fill water tank" indicator (Fig. 3, k) illuminates. When this indicator is on, coffee making is not possible or, if started, is interrupted.
To always be sure of a rich coffee, full of aroma, you should:

- change the water in the water tank daily

- wash the water tank at least once per week in normal washing-up water (not in the dishwasher). Then flush with fresh water.

2.3 Switching the Coffee Machine On

Switch the coffee machine on by means of the "On/Off" key (Fig. 3, h) ① (Fig. 9). The red indicator light comes on. While the water is being heated (approx. 25 seconds) the "Coffee machine heating" indicator (Fig. 3, i) flashes.

Once the operating temperature has been reached, the coffee machine carries out an automatic flushing cycle. The water flows out into the drip tray. The "Coffee machine heating" indicator (Fig. 3, i) remains constantly on. The coffee machine is now ready to use.

i Immediately after being switched on, during the heating-up phase, the coffee machine runs through a set-up cycle. The noises this creates are completely normal.

2.4 Switching the Coffee Machine Off

If you switch the coffee machine off with the "On/Off" key (Fig. 3, h) ① after you have finished making coffee, the machine carries out a flush program, during which time the "Empty grounds container" indicator (Fig. 3, j) flashes for about 1 minute as a reminder. If you switch the coffee machine off with the "On/Off" key (Fig. 3, h) while a function is running, all functions are immediately switched off.

2.5 Setting the Water Hardness

Before using the machine for the first time or when using a different water grade, you should set your coffee machine to the water hardness level corresponding to the local water hardness. You can used the included test card to determine the water hardness, or contact your local water supply company.

Determining water hardness

Dip the test strip in cold water for around 1 second. Shake off the excess water, and gauge the hardness by means of the pink bands.

No pink bands or one pink band: Hardness 1, soft up to 1.24 mmol/l, or up to 7° German hardness, or up to 12.6° French hardness

Two pink bands: Hardness 2, medium hard up to 2.5 mmol/l, or up to 14° German hardness, or up to 25.2° French hardness

Three pink bands: Hardness 3, hard up to 3.7 mmol/l, or up to 21° German hardness, or up to 37.8° French hardness

Four pink bands: Hardness 4, very hard over 3.7 mmol/l or over 21° German hardness, or over 37.8° French hardness

Setting and saving the water hardness level

You can set 4 hardness levels. The coffee machine is factory-set to hardness level 3.

Press and hold the "Descale" key (Fig. 3, e).

Now repeatedly press the "Coffee Quantity" key (Fig. 3, c) until you have selected the required hardness level. Release the "Descale" key. The selected value is now saved.

The hardness levels are indicated as follows:

Hardness level 1

Hardness level 2

Hardness level 3

Hardness level 4

3 Making Coffee with Beans

The following process for making coffee with beans runs completely automatically: Grinding, portioning, pressing, pre-brewing, brewing, ejection of the coffee grounds.

The facility to select the grinding texture and the coffee quantity allows you to individually set up the coffee machine to your own personal taste.

Ensure that you use only pure coffee beans with no caramelised or aromatised additives. Do not use frozen beans.

3.1 Filling the Coffee Bean Container

Turn the bean container to the "Coffee Beans" position (Fig. 10). The mechanism sets to the required function.

Set the grinding texture (Fig. 11). Using the grinding texture adjustment (Fig. 2, bottom) you can set the grinding texture of the grinder.

Note! Before putting beans into the coffee machine for the first time, you can set the grinding texture once with the grinder stationary. Once the grinder has been filled with beans, the setting can be changed only while grinding is proceeding. Otherwise the coffee machine could be damaged.

The grinder is factory-set at a medium grinding texture. Notes on changing the grinder setting can be found in "Setting the Grinding Texture" Page 35.

■Raise the lid of the coffee bean container, and fill the container with fresh coffee beans (Fig. 12). Then reclose the lid.

Note! Make sure that no foreign bodies, such as stones, enter the coffee bean container. Damage caused by foreign bodies in the grinder is excluded from the guarantee.

3.2 Selecting the Cup Measure

Depending on your taste, select a "short" espresso or a "long" milky coffee.

The selection is made by repeatedly pressing the "Cup Measure" key (Fig. 3, d) until the desired cup symbol is indicated.

The cup measures are indicated as follows:

Espresso cup
Coffee cup
Coffee mug

The coffee machine is factory-set to standard measures.

Notes on changing the cup measures can be found in „Changing and Saving the Cup Measure" on Page 35.

3.3 Selecting the Coffee Quantity

Repeatedly press the "Coffee Quantity" key (Fig. 3, c) until the desired coffee quantity is indicated.

The coffee quantities are indicated as follows:

Five identical panels showing white starburst patterns on gray background, no text or symbols present

"extra mild"

"mild"

"normal"

"strong"

"extra strong"

To save having to select the coffee quantity every time you switch on the coffee machine, you can save the coffee quantity in relation to the cup measure. Notes on how to do this can be found in „Changing and Saving the Coffee Quantity" on Page 35.

3.4 Dispensing Coffee

Place one or two cups under the coffee dispenser. The dispenser can be slid up or down to match the height of your cup/mug to reduce heat loss and coffee splashes (Fig. 13).

Press the Key for 1 cup of coffee (Fig. 3, b) or the Key for 2 cups of coffee (Fig. 3, a) When you dispense 2 cups of coffee, the previously set "Coffee Quantity" and "Cup Measure" are doubled.

The coffee is now made.

In the coffee-making process, the ground coffee is first of all wetted with a small quantity of water for pre-brewing. Following a short pause, the actual brewing process commences.

You can stop coffee being dispensed by briefly pressing the coffee dispensing key.

4 Making Ready-ground Coffee

This function allows you to brew pre-ground coffee, e.g. decaffinated coffee.

Note that you must use only the supplied measuring spoon, and never put more than 2 level measuring spoons of ground coffee into the ground coffee filler.

Note! Make sure that no ground coffee has remained in the filler, and that no foreign bodies enter the filler. The ground coffee filler is not a storage container. The ground coffee must be fed directly into the coffee-making unit.

Do not put any water-soluble or freeze-dried instant powders or any other drink powder into the ground coffee filler. Coffee powder, which is too fine, can lead to blockages.

4.1 Using the Ground Coffee Filler

Turn the coffee bean container to the "Ground Coffee" position (Fig. 14). The mechanism sets to the required function. All the coffee quantity indicator lights come on (Fig. 3, c).

When using ready ground coffee, the "Coffee Quantity" function is inactive. This is shown by all the indicator lights coming on (Fig. 15).

Open the lid of the ground coffee filler, and spoon in the fresh ground coffee (Fig. 16).

Do not add coffee during the brewing process. Only put in ground coffee for the next cup when the brewing process has completely finished and the coffee machine is ready.

Close the lid.

4.2 Selecting the Cup Measure

Repeatedly press the "Cup Measure" key (Fig. 3, d) until the desired cup symbol is indicated.

The cup measures are indicated as follows:

Espresso cup
Coffee cup
Coffee mug

The coffee machine is factory-set to standard measures.

Notes on changing the cup measures can be found in "Changing and Saving the Cup Measure" Page 35.

4.3 Dispensing Coffee

Refer to „Dispensing Coffee" Page 33.

5 Frothing Milk

The steam can be used to froth milk and to heat liquids. Since a higher temperature is needed to produce steam than to make coffee, the coffee machine has an additional steam mode.

To make a cappuccino, fill a large cup 1/2 to 2/3 full with espresso, and then add the frothed milk.
Caution! Danger of scalding when the steam nozzle is activated! Hot water or steam output can cause scalding. Do not activate the steam nozzle until it is immersed in the milk.
To produce steam, press the "Steam Pre-selector" key (Fig. 3, g) The indicator illuminates, and at the same time, the "Coffee machine heating" indicator (Fig. 3, i) flashes. When the heating process is finished, this indicator changes from flashing to constantly on. The coffee machine is now ready for frothing milk.
If the steam function is left unused for more than 1 minute, the coffee machine automatically changes back to coffee-making mode.

Pour approximately 100 ml cold, skimmed or semi-skimmed milk into a small, narrow jug (max. 0.5 l capacity). This must be small enough to fit under the steam nozzle.
The milk should be cold. You should also use a cold jug, and not rinse this with hot water.
Swivel the steam nozzle out and hold the jug under the steam nozzle so that the end is completely immersed in the milk. Turn the Selection dial for steam and hot water (Fig. 1, D) to the position (Fig. 17). The milk is now frothed up.
Hold the jug steady during the frothing process. The nozzle should not be allowed to touch the bottom of the jug, since this would prevent the steam escaping. Froth the milk until the volume has at least doubled.
To stop frothing, turn the Selection dial for steam and hot water (Fig. 1, D) to the position and remove the jug (Fig. 17).
Caution! Danger of scalding from hot milk spray! Switch the steam off, before removing the jug with the frothed milk.
To finish steam mode, press the "Steam Pre-selector" key (Fig. 3, g) The indicator goes out. The coffee machine is now ready for making coffee again.
Each time you have frothed milk, let off some hot water through the nozzle for a short time by setting the Selection dial for steam and hot water (Fig. 1, D) to the position. This is necessary to prevent milk residues drying inside the nozzle, and thereby blocking it. Use a suitable container to catch the water.
Remove the frothing aid after each use (Fig. 18) and flush the milk residues away under running water. Wipe the steam nozzle off with a damp cloth.

Caution! Danger of burns from the frothing aid! Hold the frothing aid only by the black seal.

6 Preparing Hot Water

The hot water can be used to pre-heat cups and for making hot drinks, e.g. tea or instant soups.

Caution! Danger of scalding when the hot water nozzle is activated! Hot water or steam output can cause scalding. Activate the hot water nozzle only when a container is under the hot water nozzle.

Place a container under the hot water nozzle. Set the Selection dial for steam and hot water (Fig. 1, D) to the position (Fig. 19). Hot water is now prepared.

After you have dispensed the hot water turn the Selection dial for steam and hot water (Fig. 1, D) back to the ● position (Fig. 19) and remove the container.

7 Changing and Saving the Cup Measure

The coffee machine is factory-set to standard measures. These measures can be individually changed to your own taste and saved for each cup size.

Repeatedly press the "Cup Measure" key (Fig. 3, d) until the cup symbol, for which you wish to change the measure, is illuminated.

Place the appropriate cup under the coffee dispenser (e.g. coffee mug).

Press and hold the Key for 1 cup of coffee (Fig. 3, b) until the cup/mug is filled to the desired measure. Release the key. Your new cup measure is now saved.

Repeat the process if you would like to change the measures for the other cup symbols.

The saved measures remain stored when the coffee machine is switched off. If your coffee cups or your taste change, you can easily change the cup measure(s) to your new requirements, whenever you want.

8 Changing and Saving the Coffee Quantity

You can set and save a different coffee quantity for each cup symbol to your individual requirements. This can be done only for use with coffee beans, not for use with ground coffee.

Repeatedly press the "Cup Measure" key (Fig. 3, d) until the desired cup symbol is indicated.

Then repeatedly press the "Coffee Quantity" key (Fig. 3, c) until the desired coffee quantity indicator is illuminated, and hold the key pressed (Fig. 20).

After the key has been held for a few seconds, all the indicators are constantly on – except for the one selected (Fig. 21). Now release the key. The coffee quantity is now saved.

Repeat the process if you would like to save coffee quantities for the remaining cup symbols.

The saved quantities remain stored when the coffee machine is switched off.

9 Setting the Grinding Texture

Note! The grinder settings must be changed only while coffee is being ground. Making adjustments to the stationary grinder can damage the coffee machine.

Press the Key for 1 cup of coffee (Fig. 3, b) to make one cup of coffee. While the coffee is being ground, use the Lever for setting grinding texture

(Fig. 2, U) and (Fig. 22) to change the grinding texture.

13 Cleaning and Care

To ensure consistent coffee quality and faultless operation, always keep your coffee machine clean.

13.1 Regular Cleaning

Caution! Before cleaning, switch off the coffee machine and allow it to cool down. Do not use any abrasive, scouring or corrosive cleaning materials. Wipe the inside and outside of the case only with a damp cloth.
Note! Never put the coffee machine or separate parts of the coffee machine in the dishwasher.
Note! Never put water in the coffee bean container, as this would damage the grinder.
Remove the water tank daily (Fig. 7) and empty any remaining water away. Rinse out the water tank with fresh water. Use fresh water every day.
Empty the coffee grounds container daily, see "Emptying the Coffee Grounds Container" Page 38.
Regularly drain the drip tray. This can be done at any time, but must be done when the red Drip tray float (Fig. 1, I) appears through the opening in the drip grille.
Regularly (at least once per week) clean the Water tank (Fig. 1, M), Drip tray (Fig. 1, J), Drip grille (Fig. 1, H) and Coffee grounds container (Fig. 1, G) with warm water, a mild washing up liquid and possibly a brush.
From time to time, remove the coffee bean container and clear away any residues.
Each time the machine is used for frothing, remove the frothing aid and clean off any milk remains. The air intake opening under the seal must not become blocked. This can be cleaned out with a thin needle.
If the height adjustment of the coffee dispenser becomes stiff, remove the coffee grounds container, open the service cover and remove it. Slide the

height adjuster right down, and off the bottom. To do this, gently raise the inside catch. Use warm water to clean any coffee residues from both parts. Reassemble the two parts. To do this, gently pull up the catch. Check the ease of movement of the height adjuster. Refit the service cover and push the grounds container back in place.

13.2 Emptying the Coffee Grounds Container

At regular intervals, after every 16 coffee brews, the "Empty grounds container" indicator (Fig. 3, j) signals that the container has to be emptied and cleaned.

When the coffee machine is in daily use, empty the container daily. The indicator flashes for around 1 minute each time the machine is switched off, as a reminder to do this.

i Always empty the grounds container with the coffee machine switched on, otherwise the coffee machine does not register that the container has been emptied.

13.3 Cleaning the Grinder

Use the supplied brush to remove ground coffee residues.

Note! Never put water in the grinder. This would damage the grinder.

Press the "On/Off" key (Fig. 3, h) to switch off the coffee machine. Unplug from the mains socket.

Turn the bean container so that the mark is at the "UnlockContainer" position and remove the container (Fig. 23).

Remove any remaining coffee beans (you could use the vacuum cleaner with the hose or crevice tool attachment for this).

i If a foreign body is impossible to remove, take off the grinding ring.

To do this, proceed as follows (Fig. 24):

1. Push the Release catch for removing grinding ring (Fig. 2, T) forward toward the centre of the grinder.

2. Keep it in this position and turn the Lever for setting grinding texture (Fig. 2, U) approximately one full turn clockwise until it comes up against the stop.

You can continue to turn the Lever for setting grinding texture (Fig. 2, U) only if the Release catch for removing grinding ring (Fig. 2, T) is pressed.

Now release the grinding ring (Fig. 25) and remove the foreign body or bodies.

Caution! Risk of injury from the spinning grinder. Never switch the coffee machine on, when you are working on the grinder. This can lead to severe injuries. Before starting work, ensure that the machine is unplugged from the mains socket.

When refitting the grinding ring, ensure that both catches on the grinding ring holder engage in the corresponding slots (Fig. 25). Failure to do this can lead to damage to the grinder.

Turn the Lever for setting grinding texture (Fig. 2, U) approximately one full turn anticlockwise until it comes up against the stop.

Set the bean container in place at the "UnlockContainer" position and turn it back to the "Coffee Beans" position.

Add a small quantity of coffee beans, and test the proper operation of the grinder by making a cup of coffee. The first time the grinder is used, or after cleaning, less ground coffee will enter the coffee-making unit, because the channel first has to be filled. This can influence the first cup of coffee.

13.4 Cleaning the Coffee-making Unit

We advise you to clean the coffee-making unit regularly (depending on how frequently it is used). It should be cleaned before you start the cleaning program. If your coffee machine is to be left unused for some time (e.g. holidays), empty the coffee grounds container and the water tank, and thoroughly clean the coffee machine, including the coffee-making unit.

Turn the coffee bean container to the desired position and fill the water tank. The coffee machine is now ready for use.

i After running the cleaning program, you are advised to throw away the first cup of coffee from the machine.

13.6 Running the Descaling Program

The descaling program allows you to simply and effectively descale your coffee machine. The coffee machine should be regularly descaled, every 4-6 months, but no later than when the "Descale" key (Fig. 3, e) indicator flashes.

Note! Formic-acid-based lime scale solvents must not be used. Use only AEG descaling tablets. AEG cannot accept any liability for any damage caused by the use of other descalants. Do not, under any circumstances, use vinegar, citric acid, amidosulphuric acid or descalants containing amidosulphuric acid, as these can damage the coffee machine. The use of powder products is not recommended. Descaling tablets can be obtained from your dealer (E-No. 900 195 537/7) or from an AEG Customer Service Centre. The descaling process runs over two phases, lasting a total of 45 minutes, and must not be interrupted.

Phase 1: descaling phase with 12 cycles, and Phase 2: flushing phase. Between the two phases, the coffee grounds container must be emptied and the water tank refilled with water. In the event of a power failure or interruption, the program must be restarted!

Phase 1: Descaling

Before starting the descaling program, clean the coffee-making unit (refer to "Cleaning the Coffee-making Unit" Page 39) and empty the coffee grounds container.

Pour about 400 ml warm water into the water tank to just below the lips of the tank lid, and place a bag (2 descaling tablets) in the water tank (Fig. 41).

Put the water tank back in place when the tablets have dissolved. This takes approximately 5-7 minutes.

Pull the emptied grounds container out until it is under the coffee dispenser, to collect the descaling solution (Fig. 42).

The "Empty grounds container" indicator (Fig. 3, j) comes on and remains illuminated for as long as the grounds container is pulled out.

Press the "Descale" key (Fig. 3, e) for 3 seconds. The indicator changes from flashing to constantly on. The program is ready. The descaling process must not be interrupted.

You must first descale the hot-water/steam nozzle, before the automatic process can begin.

Place a cup or jug with a capacity of at least 200 ml under the hot-water nozzle. Turn the Selection dial for steam and hot water (Fig. 1, D) to the position (Fig. 43). Keep the selection dial opened until the pump switches off and descaling solution stops running out of the nozzle.

Turn the Selection dial for steam and hot water (Fig. 1, D) back to the ● position (Fig. 43). The automatic des-caling process now starts through the coffee-making unit.

During the descaling process, the "Descale" key (Fig. 3, e) indicator is constantly illuminated.

Preparing the coffee machine for phase 2

Phase 1 of the descaling process finishes after around 36 minutes. This is signalled by the "Fill water tank" indicator (Fig. 3, k) and the "Empty grounds container" indicator (Fig. 3, j) flashing. The indicator flashes (Fig. 44).

Rinse the water tank out and fill with a maximum of 1 litre fresh water.

Empty the grounds container and push it just far enough back into the coffee machine to catch the water which drains out of the coffee dispenser (Fig. 42).

Phase 2: flushing

Place a cup or jug with a capacity of at least 200 ml under the hot-water nozzle.

Turn the Selection dial for steam and hot water (Fig. 1, D) to the position (Fig. 43). Keep the selection dial opened until the pump switches off and flushing water stops running out of the nozzle.

Turn the Selection dial for steam and hot water (Fig. 1, D) back to the position (Fig. 43). The automatic fresh-water flushing process now starts through the coffee-making unit. It takes approximately 5 minutes. The flushing process – and with it the complete descaling program – is finished when the indicator is on and the indicator flashes.

Empty the coffee grounds container.

Thoroughly rinse the water tank and fill with fresh water.

The coffee machine is now ready for use.

i After running the descaling program, you are advised to throw away the first cup of coffee from the machine.
