Frequently Asked Questions - BEC2.1SS BAUMATIC

How do I use coffee pods with the BEC2.1SS?
Insert a 44 mm Italian coffee pod into the filter holder (15), attach it to the filter holder ring nut (5), place a cup underneath, ensure the water flow control knob is at maximum (12 o'clock), switch on, wait for the water boiler neon to stay lit, then press the water boiler ON/OFF button to dispense. Press again to stop.
How can I make a cappuccino?
After making an espresso, you can use the steam pipe (Method 1) or the froth maker (Method 2). For Method 1, connect the steam pipe, immerse it in milk, follow the 'Dispensing steam' process, and move the container up and down until the milk froths. For Method 2, attach the froth maker, place the plastic tube in milk, and press the steam dispensing button to dispense froth over the espresso.
What should I do if the coffee machine does not dispense water?
Check that the water reservoir is filled (manually or automatically). If plumbed, ensure the water filling switch is pressed to 'I' and the mains water tap is fully open. Also check that the inlet hose is not kinked or blocked, and that the water softener and tube are immersed in the reservoir.
How do I descale the coffee machine?
At least every six months, fill the water reservoir with 2 litres of water mixed with citric acid or half a glass of vinegar. Dispense water via the water boiler until the reservoir empties. Then refill with clean water and dispense twice to rinse.
Can I use ground coffee instead of pods?
Yes. First install the ground coffee water filter by removing the pod filter and replacing it. Use the 1-cup or 2-cup filter inside the filter holder (16), fill with ground coffee, tamp with the pressing tool, and attach to the ring nut. Dispense as usual, adjusting the water flow control knob for strength.
How do I fill the water reservoir?
You can fill manually by removing the reservoir and filling with cold water from a tap until two-thirds full, then replace and immerse the water softener. Alternatively, if plumbed in, switch on the machine and the reservoir will fill automatically when empty.
How can I adjust the coffee strength?
Use the water flow control knob (32). Turn it clockwise towards the plus (+) symbol for weaker coffee (faster flow) or anti-clockwise towards minus (-) for stronger coffee (slower flow). For pods, set the knob to the maximum position (12 o'clock).
How do I clean the steam pipe?
After each use, flush the steam pipe with steam. Then remove the steam pipe from the holder, separate the spout, rinse both parts thoroughly in warm water, and wipe with a cloth. Always clean to prevent milk residue blocking the spout.
What are the installation dimensions for this built-in coffee machine?
The appliance dimensions are H 460 mm, W 596 mm, D 245 mm. The cabinet aperture must be at least H 450 mm, W 600 mm, and D 560 mm. Ensure the rear panel of the housing is removed and there is a hole for the power cable and inlet hose.
How do I register for the extended 24-month guarantee?
Register your appliance online at www.baumatic.co.uk or by returning the guarantee card within 28 days of purchase. This extends the standard 12-month guarantee to 24 months (for UK, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland only).

Tips on making an espresso

An espresso is a strong black coffee that is made by forcing under pressure hot water, through finely ground coffee beans.

○ Make sure that the filter holder for ground coffee (16) and the ground coffee water filter are completely clean.
- Approximately 7 grams of coffee are required for an espresso. After filling the filter holder with coffee, use the coffee pressing tool (7) to tap down the coffee in the filter holder.
Once the water boiler is ready to dispense, run a small amount of water through the machine to warm it up.
- You should dispense this hot water into your cup, to make sure that the cup is warm too.
- Wipe away any excess coffee from the rim of the filter holder before connecting it to the filter holder ring nut.

Tips on making a cappuccino

An espresso topped with steamed milk or cream.

There are two different ways to make a cappuccino with this appliance. After making a cup of espresso, you should follow one of these methods.

Method 1 (Using the steam pipe)

BAUMATIC BEC2.1SS - Method 1 (Using the steam pipe) - 1

natural_image Simple line drawing of a bent pipe or tube with no text or symbols

- Connect the steam pipe (18) to the steam pipe holder nut (6); making sure that it is securely attached.

  • Immerse the spout of the steam pipe into a container of milk.
  • Follow the "Dispensing steam" process on page 14.
  • When steam starts to come out of the pipe, move the container of milk up and down slightly. You should do this until the milk is heated and makes the froth for the cappuccino.
  • Every time the steam pipe is used, steam should be dispensed several times through the steam pipe and spout afterwards.
  • Turn off the machine using the ON/OFF button (12).

- You can also use the steam pipe to heat up other beverages, such as water and punch etc.

A CLEANING PROCEDURE MUST BE CARRIED OUT EVERY TIME THE STEAM PIPE IS USED. SEE PAGE 24 FOR FURTHER DETAILS.

Method 2 (Using the froth maker)

BAUMATIC BEC2.1SS - Method 2 (Using the froth maker) - 1

natural_image Simple line drawing of a mechanical component with no text or symbols

- If the steam pipe (18) is connected to the steam pipe holder nut (6), then remove it.

  • Connect the froth maker (23) to the steam pipe holder nut (6); making sure that it is securely attached.
  • Immerse the plastic tube that runs off the froth maker into a container of milk.
  • Follow the initial stages of the "Dispensing steam" process on page 14.
  • When the steam boiler neon (27) stays on permanently, put the espresso under the dispensing spout and press the steam dispensing ON/OFF button (31).
  • The milk will feed up the plastic tube, then after a period of time the froth will come out of the dispensing spout, making the cappuccino.
  • Every time the froth maker is used, the plastic tube should be placed in clean water afterwards. You should then dispense clean water through the froth maker several times. This will prevent milk residue from blocking the dispensing spout.
  • Turn off the machine using the ON/OFF button (12).

BAUMATIC BEC2.1SS - Method 2 (Using the froth maker) - 2

IMPORTANT- A CLEANING PROCEDURE MUST BE CARRIED OUT EVERY TIME THE FROTH MAKER IS USED. SEE PAGE 24 FOR FURTHER DETAILS.
