To avoid injuries allow the coffee  
~
system to cool before cleaning or  
putting on and taking off parts. Turn the  
machine off at the main switch when  
not in use and before cleaning.  
The coffee system must be  
maintained daily to prevent the  
growth of harmful bacteria and  
mold. Please read the “Cleaning and  
care” section of this booklet. All  
parts are dishwasher safe except  
the brew unit and bean container.  
When using the coffee system with  
~
the water tank, only fill the water tank  
with cold, fresh tap water. Warm or hot  
water, or any other liquids may damage  
the machine.  
Caution! Do not look directly or with  
an optical instrument into the  
lighting - laser radiation.  
The water should be changed daily  
~
to prevent bacteria or mold growth.  
Do not use mineral water. Mineral  
~
water leads to heavy calcium buildup in  
the machine that can damage the unit.  
Caution! Risk of burns when  
dispensing hot beverages, they are  
extremely hot.  
Do not fill anything but coffee beans

Before the first use  
The appliance must be correctly  
installed and connected before the  
first use. See "Electrical connection",  
"Plumbing" and "Installation  
instructions".  
Turning off  
^ Select "On/Off".  
The display shows the time of day. After  
60 seconds the display turns off  
(depending on the setting). See  
"Settings - Clock".  
Clean the appliance and remove  
protective foils before the first use.  
See "Cleaning and Care".

turned on the machine will begin  
rinsing if a coffee was prepared that  
day.  
10  
 
Filling water, beans or ground coffee  
Before using the coffee system for  
the first time, clean the appliance.  
See "Cleaning and Care".  
Filling the water tank  
The beans and the water quality is  
important for a good espresso or  
coffee. If the machine is plumbed to a  
water line and turned on, the water tank  
is automatically filled. Empty the water  
tank daily. The unit displays a reminder  
when turned on.  
^ Open the appliance door by  
grasping the recess next to the hot  
water spout and pulling the door  
towards you.  
When using the coffee system with the  
water tank, only fill the water tank with  
cold, fresh tap water.  
Never add hot water or any other  
liquids except cold water to the  
water tank.  
^ Pull the water tank out.  
^ When using the coffee system with  
the water tank, fill the tank with fresh,  
cold tap water to the "Max." mark.  
Do not use mineral water. Mineral  
water leads to heavy calcium  
built-up in the machine that can  
damage the unit.  
A valve at the front of the tank prevents  
leaks.  
^ Close the lid and push the water tank  
into the unit until it clicks into place.  
The water tank must be positioned  
correctly or the valve will leak. If the  
water tank has not clicked into  
place, pull the tank out, check and  
clean the niche.

Making coffee  
Pre-warming cups  
Adjust the dispenser height  
All beverages should be made in a  
warm cup, to develop the aroma. The  
smaller the amount of coffee or  
espresso and the thicker the cups, the  
more important it is to pre-warm the  
cups.  
Depending on the cup height, the  
coffee dispensers can be adjusted so  
that the coffee and espresso have a  
shorter distance to the cup, do not cool  
and have a better crema.  
^ Set the cup under the hot water  
spout.

Making coffee  
Espresso and coffee made  
from ground coffee  
Preparing two cups at the same time  
When using ground coffee, only one  
portion at a time can be prepared. The  
unit uses the whole portion of ground  
coffee which was filled in the funnel to  
prepare one drink.  
After filling the funnel with ground  
coffee (see "Filling water, beans or  
ground coffee - Filling ground coffee"),  
the display shows:  
Did you fill ground coffee and  
i
No  
do you want to prepare it?  
+
Yes ~  
^ Select "Yes".  
Select "No" if no ground coffee is filled  
in the funnel. Otherwise the coffee  
system assumes that ground coffee is  
in the machine and dispenses only  
water next time coffee is made.  
^ Set a cup under the coffee  
dispenser.  
The drink is dispensed through both  
dispensers at the same time.  
^ Select "Espresso" or "Coffee".  
The coffee system brews the espresso  
or coffee and the drink is dispensed.  
Do not open the door during the  
brewing process. It will damage the  
machine. The unit will switch  
automatically back to brewing with  
beans after preparation.  
Canceling  
^ Select "Stop" to cancel the process.

Making coffee  
Cappuccino and milk froth  
When using for the first time or using  
after descaling  
The lines were completely drained  
before the unit left the factory. They will  
also be drained when the machine is  
descaled. Before preparing  
cappuccino or froth, the lines must be  
filled with water.  
^ Set a cup under the cappuccino  
dispenser.  
^ Select "Milk froth".  
The intake hose takes in water from the  
tank and fills the lines with water. A  
small amount of water runs from the  
froth dispenser.  
Prompts to clean the froth dispenser  
appear in the display.  
^ Confirm by selecting "OK".  
^ Once the machine stops, select "Milk  
froth" again.  
The froth dispenser dispenses steam  
and the lines are filled with water.  
^ Select "Clear" to get back to the main  
menu.  
The coffee system is ready to use.  
17  
 
Making coffee  
Cappuccino  
Milk froth  
To prepare a cappuccino you need a  
large ceramic or porcelain cup and a  
small mug (supplied) of milk.  
If you need additional milk froth,  
prepare cold skim milk in a stainless  
steel mug which narrows towards the  
top.  
The best milk froth is achieved with  
cold milk.  
^ Set the supplied glass mug with milk  
under the intake hose and the  
stainless steel mug under the froth  
dispenser.  
Only one cup of cappuccino can be  
prepared at a time because of the  
milk frothing process.  
^ Select "Milk froth".  
The milk is frothed into the stainless  
steel mug.  
^ Select "Stop" to cancel the milk  
frothing.  
After preparing milk froth and  
cappuccino  
Clean the froth dispenser and intake  
hose immediately after use. If the milk is  
allowed to dry, the parts may get  
clogged and difficult to clean. See  
"Cleaning and Care".  
^ Set the mug of milk under the intake  
hose and the cup under the froth  
dispenser.  
^ Select "Cappuccino".  
The milk is frothed into the cup. At the  
same time the beans are ground.  
Select "Stop" to cancel the milk frothing.  
^ Once the milk is frothed, set the  
cappuccino cup under both  
dispensers and select "OK".  
The cappuccino will be prepared.  
^ Select "Stop" when enough espresso  
has been prepared.  
18  
 
Adjusting the coffee grinder  
The amount of ground coffee  
determines the strength of the coffee  
and the quality of the crema.  
To adjust the grinder setting  
The amount of ground coffee can be  
adjusted in the main menu. See  
"Settings - Grind amount".  
To prevent machine damage adjust  
the coffee grinder one notch at a  
time and let the beans grind before  
adjusting another notch. Otherwise  
the machine will be damaged.  
^ Push the slide control to the left for a  
finer grind or to the right for a coarser  
grind.  
You should be able to feel the notches  
when moving the slide control.  
The grinder should be adjusted:  
If the slide control will not move:  
– If the espresso flows too quickly into  
the cup, the pressure cannot be built  
up because the beans have been  
ground too coarsely. The grinder  
should be adjusted to a finer setting.  
^ Close the machine and dispense a  
cup of coffee.  
Then try to move the slide control  
again.  
– If the espresso only trickles into the  
cup, the beans have been ground  
too fine and the coffee will be bitter.  
The grinder should be adjusted to a  
coarser setting.  
– If the crema is evenly colored but  
pale, the ground coffee is too  
coarse.  
– If the crema is very dark brown on  
one side, graduating almost to white  
on the other, the ground coffee is too  
fine.
