Initial use

General

Fill the appropriate container using only pure, cold, uncarbonated water and only roasted beans. Do not use coffee beans that have been glazed, caramelized or treated with other additives containing sugar, since they will block the brewing unit.

WARNING: Before the appliance can be switched on and used, it must be assembled and connected according to the enclosed assembly instructions.

Setting up the appliance

• Remove any protective plastic film.

NOTICE:

Only use the appliance in a frost-free room. If it has been transported or stored at tem- peratures below 32°F, wait at least 3 hours before initial use.

• Take hold of the appliance door by the recessed grip and open.
• Remove the water tank, rinse it and fill it with fresh water up to the “max” mark.
• Replace the water tank and click into place.

Note:

It is important to set the water hardness correctly to enable the appliance to accu- rately indicate when the descaling program should be run. The preset water hardness is level 4. If a water softener is installed in the house, please set the water hardness to level 3. You can also check the water hard- ness by asking your local water supplier.

• Use the enclosed test strip to determine the water hardness. Briefly dip the test strip in water and check the result after one minute.

An audible signal is heard when pressing the touch display. These audible signals can be switched on or off (see the section "Menu – Key tones”).

Preparing drinks

This fully automatic coffee machine can be operated using coffee beans or ground coffee (but not instant coffee). If using coffee beans, they will be freshly ground for each brewing. For optimum quality, store the beans in a cool place in sealed containers.

Note: Cups should be prewarmed, e.g. with hot water. This applies particularly to small thick-walled espresso cups.

NOTICE: Fill the water tank with fresh, uncarbonated, cold water every day. The tank should always contain sufficient water for operating the appliance.

Note: For some settings, coffee is prepared in two stages (see the section " Aroma Double Shot” and “Two cups at once”). Please wait until the process is completely finished.

Beverage selection

Turn the control ring to select different drinks:

The image and the name of the selected drink will appear in the middle of the infor- mation display.

The values currently set, e.g. for the coffee strength and temperature are shown on the left and right of the touch display.

The following drinks can be selected:

Ristretto

Espresso

Espresso Macchiato

Coffee

Cappuccino

Latte Macchiato

Café Latte

Milk froth

Warm milk

Hot water

The drink selected can be directly prepared with the pre-set values or first adjusted to individual taste.

Drink adjustment

Press one of the fields shown on the touch display, e.g. to activate the field, turns red.

Turn the control ring to change the setting.

Press again to save the setting.

An example:

The values for a cup of Coffee can be changed as follows:

• Turn the control ring and select “Coffee”.

• Press the field, e.g. to active, lights up red.

• Turn the control ring and set the desired coffee strength in the middle of the infor- mation display , e.g. to “very strong”.

• Press the field .
• Turn the control ring to set the required amount of coffee, e.g. “5 oz”.

• Press the field .
• Turn the control ring and set the desired temperature, e.g. “very high”.

• 
  Save the settings by pressing the active field or by starting to dispense the drink.

Note: There are different setting options depend- ing on the type of drink. For coffee drinks, for example, the strength, temperature and quantity can be set; for milk, only the volume.

The following settings are possible:

Coffee strength

mild

normal

strong

very strong

Double Shot

Double Shot +

Double Shot ++

Note:

Aroma Double Shot

The longer coffee is brewed, the more bitter substances and undesirable aromas are released. This has a negative effect on the taste and makes the coffee less easily digested. For extra strong coffee, the appliance has therefore a special Aroma Double Shot function. When half the quantity has been prepared, it grinds and brews fresh coffee beans so that only the pleasant, aromatic scents are released.

Note: When the 12 oz (360 ml) or 16 oz (480 ml) volume is selected, the Aroma Double Shot function is not aperable.

Note: The Aroma Double Shot function is not available for Ristretto, Espresso Macchiato, and when ground coffee is used.

Volume

The volume differs depending on the type of drink and can be set in “oz” or “ml” incre- ments. The factory setting is in “oz” and can be converted to “ml”, see chapter “Menu - Volume units”.

Note: The volume dispensed can fluctuate depending on the quality of the milk.

Drinks temperature

Values for coffee drinks:

normal

high

very high

Values for hot water:

The factory setting is in “°F” and can be converted to “°C”, see chapter “Menu -

Temperature format”.

160°F (70°C) White tea

180°F (80°C) Green tea
