Frequently Asked Questions - BEC1SS BAUMATIC

How do I descale the Baumatic BEC1SS coffee maker?

Mix equal parts water and white vinegar, fill the water tank, and run a brew cycle without coffee. Repeat with clean water to rinse. Perform this every 2-3 months.

Why isn't my coffee maker brewing?

Check that the water tank is filled, the filter basket is correctly inserted, and the machine is plugged in. If the brew button is flashing, it may be in a descaling alarm mode.

Can I use paper filters with this model?

Yes, you can use standard cone-shaped paper filters (#4 size) in addition to the included permanent filter.

How do I clean the permanent filter?

Rinse the permanent filter under running water after each use. For deeper cleaning, wash it with mild soap and a soft brush.

What does the keep warm function do?

The keep warm function maintains the brewed coffee at a drinking temperature for up to 2 hours. It activates automatically after brewing.

How do I reset the auto shut-off timer?

The auto shut-off is preset and cannot be manually reset. It will automatically turn off the machine after 2 hours of inactivity.

Can I brew more than 10 cups?

The maximum capacity is 1.25 L (approx. 10 cups). Do not exceed the max fill line on the water tank.

My coffee tastes bitter. What should I do?

Bitter coffee may result from over-extraction. Use a coarser grind, reduce the amount of coffee, or ensure the water temperature isn't too high. Also, descale the machine regularly.

How do I replace the carafe?

The carafe is a standard spare part. Contact Baumatic customer service or an authorized dealer to purchase a replacement. Handle with care as it is glass.

Is the drip stop function working?

The anti-drip system prevents coffee from dripping when you remove the carafe during brewing. Ensure the filter basket is correctly seated and the drip stop valve is clean.

If the coffee machine has not been used for long periods of time, change the water in the reservoir.

Starting the Coffee Machine

• Switch the coffee machine on by switching the on/off button (Fig A-16)
• The red LED warning light (Fig B-1) will illuminate at the same time the coffee boiler LED (Fig B-2) will flash indicating the coffee boiler is heating up.
• The machine is ready for use when this LED stops flashing and remains on.

6. COFFEE DISPENSING

Press button (Fig B-6) to dispense coffee.

• Manually Dispensing Coffee: If the button is held down for less than one second, the machine will dispense coffee. Press the button again to stop dispensing.
• Automated Fixed Time Coffee Dispensing: If the button is held down for more than one second but less than five, the machine will dispense coffee for the length of time programmed.
• Dispensing/programming Time: the button is held down for more than five seconds, the machine will dispense coffee for as long as the button is held down. When the button is released, the machine will memorise the new time it has just calculated (which will subsequently be used by Function B).

7. STEAM PUSH-BUTTON

• Press key (Fig B-7) to access the steam boiler. LED (Fig B-3) will flash to indicate the machine is heating up. When it stops flashing and remains on, the machine is ready to release steam. Press key (Fig B-8) for steam release.
• Manual steam release button is held down for less than one second, the machine will release steam. Press the button again to stop this process.
• Fixed Time Automatic steam release : If the button is held down for more than one second but less than five, the machine will release steam for the length of time programmed.
• Steam release/programming of the button is held down for more than five seconds, the machine will release steam for as long as the button is held down. When the button is released, the machine will memorise the new time it has just calculated (which will subsequently be used by Function B). LED (Fig B-4) lights up to indicate the steam release phase.

8. EMPTY WATER TANK

• LED (Fig B-5) will illuminate when the tank is empty.
• All functions will stop automatically, including the steam boiler heating.
• Fill the tank and reselect the function which had previously been activated.

9. ADJUSTING THE FLOW OF WATER FROM THE BOILER

- Rotate knob (Fig B-9) anticlockwise from “+” towards “−” in order to decrease the amount of water which flows out of the coffee boiler. This process is used to make drinks such as tea or tisanes which require a slower flow of water and less of it.

10. USE OF COFFEE PODS

• The use of coffee pods (Fig A-14) is an easy, practical and hygienic way to make a coffee. This is due to the special packaging that avoids coffee coming out and it can easily be removed after use.

• Switch On the machine (Fig A-16).

• Insert one pod into the filter-holder (Fig A-1) and place into the ring nut (Fig A-18) making sure that it is correctly secured by turning the filter-holder handle from left to right.

• Put the cup underneath the nozzle (Fig A-1).
• Check the red LED light of the boiler (Fig B-2) is not flashing.
• Push the coffee button (Fig B-6).
• Pressing (Fig B-6) again will stop dispensing.
  • Take the filter-holder out of the ring nut and remove the pod.

11. MAKING A CUP OF ESPRESSO

• Ensure the coffee machine is kept clean to get the best cup of espresso.
• Make sure the filter units are cleaned after each use.
• Warm the cups prior to filling.
• The quality and coarseness of the coffee grains can influence the flavour.
• Make sure the coffee is pressed in using (Fig A-6)
• After pressing, leave the circular part of the press (Fig A-6) in the filter holder (A-2) with Filter Cup (Fig A-3 or 4)

12. PREPARING A CAPPUCCINO

• This coffee machine enables the user to make froth for cappuccinos in two different ways.
- Method 1: use the "steam pipe" (Fig. A 9-15) and immerse the steam spout into a container of milk. Press button (Fig.B-7) to switch the steam boiler on. The flashing LED (Fig.B-3) indicates that the machine is heating up. When the LED stops flashing the machine is ready for use.
- Press the steam dispensing button (Fig.B-8) to dispense the steam either manually or automatically. When the steam starts coming out, move the container up and down slightly, until the milk makes the froth for the cappuccino.
- Other drinks, such as water, punch etc. can also be heated in this way.

Warning: the steam nozzle and dispensing spout must be cleaned every time they are used by discharging steam several times. Cleaning is best carried out when the components have cooled down and by separating the steam nozzle from the dispensing spout. Wipe them carefully using a clean sponge or cloth. When milk cools it creates impurities which block the steam discharge hole, causing the machine to function badly. Fig.E1

• Method 2: remove the steam pipe (Fig A9-15) and replace it with the special cappuccino maker (Fig A-21) available as an accessory. This operation is extremely simple as the various parts are interchangeable and the user simply has to use the connection set underneath the control panel (Fig.A-22).
• Warning: the various components remain extremely hot for some time after the machine has been switched off so may burn.
• Press button (Fig.B-7) to switch the steam boiler on. The flashing LED (3) (Fig.B-3) indicates that the machine is heating. When the LED stays on the machine is ready for use.
• After having fitted the "cappuccino maker" onto the machine, immerse the small tube into a container of milk. Place the cup of coffee under the dispensing spout and then press the steam dispensing button (Fig.B-8) to dispense either manually or automatically. The spout will dispense the froth to make the cappuccino.

Warning: always clean the "cappuccino maker" after use by immersing the small tube in a container full of clean water and dispense several times. This will clear the tube of any residues. When milk cools, it creates impurities which block the steam discharge hole.

13. MAKING A CUP OF TEA USING LOOSE TEA LEAVES

• Use filter holder (Fig A-2) with Filter Cup(Fig A-3 or 4)
- Press the tea leaves with the press (Fig A-6) leaving the circular part of the press in place on the filter holder.
- Place filter holder (Fig A-2) to ring nut (Fig A-18) and twist from left to right ensuring it is in place.
- Adjust Coffee boiler water flow knob (Fig B-9) to required setting. The lower the setting the stronger the tea.

• Check the red LED light of the boiler (Fig B-2) is not flashing.
• Push the coffee button (Fig B-6).
• Pressing (Fig B-6) again will stop dispensing.
  • Take the filter-holder out of the ring nut and clean filter holder.

14. MAKING TEA USING HOT WATER

• Place the steam nozzle (Fig A 9-15) onto the holding nut (Fig A-22)
• Put a cup underneath the steam pipe (Fig A 9-15)
• Turn machine on (Fig A-16)
• Push the steam button on/off (Fig B-7). An LED will flash (Fig B-3) while the boiler heats up. When solid it is ready to dispense.
• Push steam release button (Fig B-8) to begin.

15. CLEANING AND SERVICING

• Outer parts of the coffee machine should only be cleaned with warm soapy water using either a sponge or soft cloth. No abrasive cleaners should be used.
• The Drip tray can be removed and should be cleaned periodically. It is also dishwasher proof.
• The filter will need changing when you can see white granules in the filter. This can be obtained from our Spares Department.
• When cleaning the filter holder or steam nozzle, ensure they have been left to cool down prior to cleaning.

16. ACCESSORIES

• The coffee machine is equipped with two filter holders (Fig A-1 and A-2). The filter (Fig A-2) is for use with 1-cup and 2-cup filter (Fig A-3 and A-4). The second one (Fig A-1) is for use with pods.
• The drawer can be used for holding cups and saucers and a compartment for all other accessories such as the filters.
