Frequently Asked Questions - CM465BS Caple

How often should I descale the Caple CM465BS?

The machine will display "PLEASE DESCALE!" when descaling is needed. Use the included water hardness test strip to set the correct hardness level, which determines the frequency. Use a descaling solution from Caple and follow the descaling program in the menu.

My coffee is not hot enough. What can I do?

Preheat your cups by rinsing them with hot water. Also, use the rinsing function to warm up the brewing unit before making coffee. Avoid using thick cups.

How do I adjust the grind setting?

Only adjust the grind level while the machine is grinding beans. Turn the knob inside the bean container clockwise for coarser grind (faster flow) or counterclockwise for finer grind (slower flow). The change is noticeable after 2 cups.

How to make a cappuccino?

Fill the milk container with cold skimmed or semi-skimmed milk, attach it to the nozzle, select the cappuccino function, and press "Cappuccino" touch key. Adjust froth density using the slider on the lid.

What does the message 'FILL TANK!' mean?

It means the water tank is empty or not properly inserted. Fill it with fresh water and ensure it is pushed in fully. It is normal to have some water left when the message appears.

How do I clean the brewing unit?

Turn off the machine using the on/off button (do not unplug). Open the service door, remove the drip tray and waste container, press the red release buttons, and pull out the brewing unit. Rinse under running water without detergent, then replace.

How to set the water hardness?

Use the included test strip to measure your water hardness. Then go to menu > "WATER HARDNESS" and select the corresponding number (1-4). This adjusts the descaling interval.

How do I reset the machine to factory settings?

Go to menu > "RESET TO DEFAULT" and confirm. This will reset coffee quantities, water hardness, temperature, shut-off time, etc. to original settings.

Why is coffee dispensing too slowly?

The grind may be too fine. Turn the grind adjustment knob clockwise one position to make it coarser. Also check that the coffee spouts are not blocked.

How to program the coffee quantity for different cup sizes?

Go to menu > "PROGRAM COFFEE", select the cup size, then adjust the progress bar using the scroll keys and confirm with OK. The new quantity will be saved.

The appliance now grinds the beans and starts delivering the coffee into the cup.
Once the set amount of coffee has been delivered, the machine stops delivery automatically and expels the exhausted waste coffee into the waste coffee container.
After a few seconds, the appliance is ready for use again.
To turn the appliance off, press the 'On-off' button (Aa / see page 5). Before going off, the appliance performs an automatic rinse cycle. Take care to avoid scalds.

If the coffee only comes out in drips or not at all, the knob for setting the grind level must be turned by one position clockwise (see "Setting the grind level"). Turn one click at a time until the coffee is delivered satisfactorily.
If the coffee comes out too fast and the cream does not meet your taste, turn the knob by one position anti-clockwise). Make sure that you do not turn the knob for setting the grind level too far, as coffee may come out in drips when dispensing 2 cups.

TIPS TO MAKE HOTTER COFFEE:

3 minutes after your last made coffee, you can preheat the brewing unit by using the menu setting "RINSING (see Rinsing). Run off the water into the underlying drip tray or alternatively use this water to fill (and then empty) the cup to be used for the coffee.
Do not use cups that are too thick, as they will absorb too much heat.
You can stop the coffee from dispensing by pressing the 'deliver one cup of coffee' touch key (10) or 'Two cup of coffee' touch key (11) again, or by selecting "ESPRESSO CUP" with the 'Type/quantity of coffee' touch key (8).
After the coffee has finished dispensing (the progress bar reaches 100%), you can increase the amount of coffee by pressing and holding the 'One cup of coffee' touch key until the desired amount of coffee is reached.
When the display shows the message "FILL TANK!", you must fill the tank, otherwise the appliance cannot make any coffee. It is normal that there is some water left in the water tank when the message is displayed.
Every 14 single coffees (or 7 doubles) the appliance displays "EMPTY WASTE COFFEE CONTAINER". This means that the waste coffee container is full and must be emptied and cleaned.

The appliance counts the number of coffees made. As long as the waste coffee container is not cleaned, this message remains in place and the coffee machine cannot make any coffee. To clean, open the service door at the front by pulling the coffee spout, remove the drip tray, empty it and clean it.

IMPORTANT

Always completely extract the drip tray, to avoid it falling when removing the grounds container. Empty the grounds container and clean thoroughly, making sure all residues deposited on the bottom are removed.

Every time you pull the drip tray out, the waste coffee container must also be emptied, even if it is not completely full. If this process is not carried out, the waste coffee container may overfill when coffee is made and the machine may get blocked.

Never remove the water tank when the appliance is dispensing coffee. Otherwise, the appliance will not be able to make the coffee. If the appliance malfunctions, do not contact Caple service straight away, first look at the troubleshooting guide. If this does not help, contact Caple customer service.
