Dear customer,
Please read these operating instruc-
tions through carefully. Above all,
observe the safety instructions! Please
keep these operating instructions for
later reference, and pass them on to
any subsequent owners of the appli-
ance.
The form and function of your fully
automatic coffee machine guarantee
you
• straightforward operation and
• excellent, individual taste
• with the easiest of maintenance and
care.
The excellent, individual taste is
achieved by
• The pre-brewing system: prior to the
actual brewing process, the ground
coffee is moistened to extract its full
aroma,
• The individually adjustable quantity of
water per cup that can be varied
between a small espresso and a large
“frothy“ coffee,
• The grinding texture that can be
adjusted to suit the roasting of the
beans,
• The facility to choose between normal
or strong coffee,
• And last but not least, through the
guaranteed crema, that small crown of
froth that makes an espresso incompa-
rable for connoisseurs.
Incidentally: The time that the water is
in contact with the ground coffee is
considerably shorter for espressos than
for conventional filter coffee. As a
result, less bitterness is released from
the coffee, it is this that makes
espresso coffee so much pleasanter!

1. Before Using for the First Time
1.1. Setting Up the Appliance
Choose a suitable, level, stable,
unheated, dry surface. Pay attention to
adequate air circulation.
Important: If the appliance is placed in
a warm room after being brought in
from the cold - wait approx. 2 hours
before switching on the appliance!
1.2. Cable compartment (Figure 3)
Your appliance has a cable compart-
ment on the rear. If the mains lead is
too long, you can push the cable that is
not needed into the cable compart-
ment.
1.3. Adjusting the Water Hardness
Your appliance can be adjusted to the
hardness of the water used. The correct
adjustment of the water hardness is
necessary for the correct function of
the automatic scaling indicator (see
also Section 9.).
Use the Aquadur® test strips supplied
to determine the hardness the local
water. Follow the instructions given on
the test strip packaging. Or: Ask your
water board about the hardness of
your water!
The appliance has 5 hardness settings,
the appliance is set to the middle set-
ting, 3, in the factory (corresponds to
16°-23° degrees German hardness).
You can change this setting as follows:
0Plug the appliance into the mains.
0Do not switch on the appliance.
0Press the “1 Cup“ button for
approx. 3 seconds. The “Descale“
indicator flashes.
Pressing the “1 Cup“ button again
changes the water hardness setting by
one step to 4, 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on.
0To store the water hardness setting and
to end the procedure, press the
“On/Off“ button. All indicators go out.
If a button is not pressed for more than
30 sec., the procedure is automatically
ended without changing the value
saved previously.

The individual water hardness settings
(degrees German hardness, ° dH) are
indicated as follows:
The “Descale“ indicator flashes
( ), in addition the following indica-
tors illuminate ()
for setting 1 (1°-7° dH): “1 Strong
Cup“
for setting 2 (8°-15° dH): “1
Strong Cup“ and “Ground Coffee“
for setting 3 (16°-23° dH): “1
Strong Cup“, “Ground Coffee“
and “Spent Coffee“
for setting 4 (24°-30° dH): “1
Strong Cup“, “Ground Coffee“,
“Spent Coffee“ and “Clean“
for setting 0: no further indicators
illuminate. The automatic descale indi-
cator is switched off.
Note: The water hardness setting is
only to be adjusted prior to using the
appliance for the first time, or if the
quality of the water used changes.
Note: The appliance is prepared for the
use of a water filter in the water tank.
With the use of this water filter sub-
stances that spoil the taste of the tap
water such as chlorine, are extracted to
a large extent. In addition the amount
of calcium in the water is greatly
reduced. This lets the flavour of your
coffee develop fully. If the appliance is
operated with water filters, we recom-
mend setting the hardness to setting 0
and descaling it once or twice a year.
1.4. Adjusting the Safety
Cut-Out
If the appliance is not used for an
extended period of time, it switches
itself off for safety reasons and to save
energy.

cated as follows:
The “Flush“ indicator flashes, in
addition the following indicators illu-
minate
for setting 2 (switch off after 2
hours): “Water Tank“ and
“Spent Coffee“
for setting 3 (switch off after 5
hours): “1 Strong Cup“,
“Ground Coffee“, “Clean“,
“Water Tank“ and “Spent Coffee“
for setting 1: no further indicator illu-
minates, the automatic cut-out is not
activated.
2. Prior to Making Coffee
2.1. Filling the Water Tank
(Figure 4)

the water tank by the handle. Please
only use cold, clear water, and do not
fill beyond the MAX mark.
Then refit the water tank in the appli-
ance and press it down until it engages
so the valve on the base is opened.
For aromatic coffee, you should:
• Change the water in the tank daily,
• Not use mineral or distilled water and
• Clean the water tank at least once a
week in normal washing up water (not
in a dishwasher). Then rinse with clean
water.

g
22
Incidentally: When the “Water
Tank“ indicator (Figure 2/N) illumi-
nates, your appliance is signalling to
you that the water tank must be
refilled.
2.2. Filling the Bean Container
(Figure 5)
Open the lid of the bean container
(Figure 1/D) and fill the container with
roasted coffee beans (do not use fro-
zen and caramelised beans). Ensure
that no foreign bodies enter the bean
container. Close the lid.
Tip: You can use both espresso and fil-
ter coffee beans! Try out different sorts
of beans to find the ones that taste the
best to you!
2.3. Adjusting the Grinding Tex-
ture (Figure 6)
To release the full aroma from the
beans, you can adjust the grinding tex-
ture to suit the roasting of the beans.
The grinding texture adjustment is on
the rear right inside the bean con-
tainer.
Important: The grinding texture is only
to be adjusted when the grinder is in
operation.
Starting from the factory medium set-
ting, turn the adjustment knob clock-
wise for darker beans (coarser
grinding texture), anticlockwise for
lighter beans (finer grinding tex-
ture).
Tip: Try different grinding textures to
find the one that suits your taste the
best!
2.4. Switching On the Appliance
(Figure 7)
By pressing the “On/Off“ button
(Figure 2/B) for approx. 1 second, you
can switch on the appliance. The red
power indicator (Figure 2/A) illumi-
nates.
Only when using the appliance for
the first time:
To show that the system must be filled,
the green “1 Strong Cup“, “1
Normal Cup“, “Ground Coffee“
and “Flush“ indicators flash
(Figure 7).
0Place an empty cup under the swivel-
ling nozzle (Figure 1/F).
0Turn the selector dial (Figure 1/E) anti-
clockwise to the stop.
0Hot water runs out of the swivelling
nozzle and is stopped automatically.
0Turn the selector dial again in a
clockwise direction to “0”.
If the 4 green lights are still flashing,
please repeat this procedure.
To show that the appliance is heating
up, the display “1 cup normal”
flashes.
The working temperature has been
reached when the display “1 cup
normal” is lit.
2.5. “Flushing“ the Appliance
(Figure 8)
When the operating temperature is
reached, the green “Flush“ indica-
tor (Figure 2/J) illuminates. Place an
empty cup under the spouts (Figure
1/H) and press the “Flush“ button
(Figure 2/K). The flushing process stops
automatically. The “1 Cup of Nor-
mal Coffee“ indicator (Figure 2/D) then
illuminates. The appliance is now ready
for brewing coffee.
Note: The water left in the appliance is
removed from the the system by the
flushing action so that coffee is made
with fresh water.
3. Making Coffee
Although you are brewing espresso
coffee with your coffee machine, the
term coffee is used in the following for
clarity.
Note: The following process starts
completely automatically after
the “1 Cup“ or “2 Cups“ button
is pressed: grinding, portioning, press-
ing, pre-brewing, brewing, and ejection
of the used ground coffee.
You can interrupt this process at any
time by pressing the “1 Cup“
or “2 Cups“ button!

g
23
Store your cups upside down on the
cup rack (Figure 1/C). Steam escapes
through the openings in the cup rack,
this warms the cups!
The outlet (Figure 1/G) can be
adjusted in height and can thus be
adjusted to suit different sizes of cup.
To adjust the height, use the thumb
and index finger to grip the ribbing on
the side of the outlet and move it up or
down (Figure 9/A). Important: There is
a risk of burns!
3.1. Adjusting the Amount of
Water (Figure 9/B)
Using the selector dial (Figure 2/P),
adjust the amount of water per cup.
Depending on your taste, select a
“small“ espresso (turn selector dial
anticlockwise) or a large “frothy“ cof-
fee (turn selector dial clockwise).
Note: You can also change the amount
of water during the brewing process.
To adjust the required quantity during
the brewing process: turn the selector
dial slowly anticlockwise from the
maximum setting, until coffee ceases
to run out at the required quantity.
When two cups of coffee are drawn,
the amount of water is more or less
doubled.

ton (Figure 2/E), you will obtain one
cup of normal coffee. “1 Normal Cup“
flashes.
3.3. One Cup of Strong Coffee
from Beans (Figure 11/A)
The appliance is ready for use when
the “1 Normal Cup“ indicator (Fig-
ure 2/D) illuminates. Place an empty
cup centrally under the spouts. Now
press the “1 Cup“ button (Figure
2/E) until the “1 Strong Cup“ indi-
cator (Figure 2/C) illuminates and “1
Normal Cup“ flashes. You will then
obtain one cup of strong coffee.
3.4. One Cup of Extra Strong
Coffee from Beans (Figure 11/B)
The appliance is ready for use when the
“1 Normal Cup“ indicator (Figure 2/D)
illuminates. Place an empty cup cen-
trally under the spouts. Now press the
“1 Cup“ button (Figure 2/E) until the “1
Normal Cup“ and “1 Strong Cup“ indi-
cators flash. You will then obtain one
cup of extra strong coffee.
3.5. Two Cups of Normal Coffee
from Beans (Figure 12)
The appliance is ready for use when
the “1 Cup“ indicator (Figure 2/D)
illuminates. Place a cup under each of
the spouts.
Note: The correct position for the cups
is given by the two holes in the drip
grille (Figure 1/J) as these are directly
below the spouts.
By pressing the “2 Cups“ button
(Figure 2/F), you will obtain two cups
of normal coffee. “1 Normal Cup“
flashes.
3.6. One or Two Cups of Coffee
from Ground Coffee (Figure 13, 14)
Using this function you can, e.g., brew
decaffeinated coffee.
Caution: Please do not use ground
coffee that is too fine, as this could
block the brewing unit.
The appliance is ready for use when
the “1 Normal Cup“ indicator
(Figure 2/D) illuminates.
0Place one or two cups under the
spouts.
0Press the “Ground Coffee“ button
(Figure 2/H) until the “Ground Cof-
fee“ indicator (Figure 2/G) illuminates

0Open the lid (Figure 1/B) and place the
required amount of ground coffee for

g
24
one or two cups in the filler opening
(Figure 14).
0Close the lid.
Note: Add a maximum of 2 portions of
ground coffee. The filler opening for
ground coffee is not a storage con-
tainer. Do not add anything other than

0Now press the “1 Cup“ button for
one cup or the “2 Cups“ button
for two cups.
Note: If the “Ground Coffee“ but-
ton is pressed inadvertently, you can
cancel this setting by pressing the
“1 Cup“ button again. The appliance
then performs a normal flush.
4. Frothing Milk (for Cappuc-
cino) (Figure 15, 16)
Hot steam can be used both for froth-
ing milk for cappuccino and for heat-
ing liquids.
Note: For one cup of cappuccino, fill a
large cup up to 2/3 full with espresso
and then add the frothed milk.
Frothing milk:
Slide the moving tube on the swivel-
ling nozzle all the way down (Figure
15/A).
Warming liquids:
Slide the moving tube up (Figure 15/B).
0Switch on the appliance using the On/
Off switch (Figure 2/B) and flush if
necessary (see Section 2.5.). The appli-
ance is ready for use when the “1
Normal Cup“ indicator (Figure 2/D)

0Immerse the swivelling nozzle in the
container with the milk to be frothed
or the liquid to be heated, and start
the production of steam by turning the
selection dial (Figure 1/E) anticlock-
wise to the stop (Figure 16/A).
Due the nature of the system, a little
water runs out of the swivelling nozzle
first, this can be run off first, however
it will not affect the quality of the
result, e.g., on frothing milk.
Important: Only immerse the swivel-
ling nozzle around half way into the
liquid so that air can be drawn in
unhindered. The swivelling nozzle
should not touch the base of the con-
tainer to avoid the hindrance of the
outlet of steam. Important: There is a
risk of burns!
0You can stop the outlet of steam by
turning the selector dial clockwise to
the O-position (Figure 16/B).
In particular after frothing milk, it is
recommended to briefly activate the
outlet of steam to “blow out the swiv-
elling nozzle“. Then clean the any milk
residues from the swivelling nozzle
using a damp cloth. Move the moving
metal tube up and down during this
process.
After steam has been drawn off, all
4 green indicators flash to indicate
that the system must be refilled with
water. Proceed as follows:
0Place a container under the swivelling
nozzle (Figure 1/F).
0Turn the selector dial (Figure 1/E) anti-
clockwise to the stop (Figure 16/A).
0Press the “Flush“ button (Figure
2/K). Wait until the flow of water stops
automatically. All 4 green indicators
then flash.
0Turn the selector dial (Figure 1/E)
clockwise back to the 0-position (Fig-
ure 16/B). The appliance is now ready
for use again.
5. Preparing Hot Water

be started by pressing the “1 Cup“
or “2 Cups“ button!
Water is now pumped through the sys-
tem at short intervals to release, with
the aid of the cleaning tablet, residues
of coffee inside the machine.
0If during the cleaning program the
“Spent coffee” indicator (Figure 2/O)
illuminates, empty the drip catcher,
refit it and press the “Flush”
button (Figure 2/K). The cleaning pro-
gram is then continued.
This action may need to be repeated up
to four times.
0The cleaning program is at an end

9. Descaling the Appliance
(Figure 22, 23)
Your appliance has a descaling pro-
gram for the regular descaling of the
appliance (duration approx. 60 min.).
If the “Descale“ indicator (Figure
2/M) illuminates, you should run the
descaling program as described below.
Descaling can also be performed before
the indicator illuminates by leaving the
appliance to cool down for 2 hours and
pressing the “Flush“ button (Figure
1/K) for approx. 3 seconds with the
appliance switched off. You can also
continue to use your appliance and run
the descaling program later. However,
you will endanger your rights to
make a claim under the guarantee,
as the appliance (and thus also cus-
tomer service) will detect overdue
cleaning!
Caution: Do not under any circum-
stances use descalers based on formic
acid or vinegar or pure lemon juice, as
these can damage the appliance. Pow-
dered descalers are not recommended.
Use only AEG descaling tablets.
If other descaling agents are used, AEG
accepts no liability for any damage.
You can get descaling tablets from
dealers (E no. 900 195 537/7) or from
the AEG Service Line.

10. What to do if ...
• no coffee runs out of the spouts:
– Check that the water tank is cor-
rectly seated!
– Fill the water tank!
– Check the correct seating of the drip
catcher!
• coffee only drips out of the spouts:
– Set the grinding texture to a coarser
setting.
• too little froth is produced on the milk
during frothing?
– Always use cool, fresh (low fat) milk!
– Use a suitable container (e.g. jug)!
– Also cool the container if necessary!
– Dismantle the swivelling nozzle and
clean!
• the temperature of the coffee is too
low?
– Prewarm cups with steam or hot
water!
Caution: Sugar and milk lower the
temperature of the coffee!
• coffee brewing is interrupted after
grinding?
– Fill the bean container as the brew-
ing unit has detected that too few
beans have been ground, as a result
the cycle has been interrupted.
• all green indicators are flashing simul-
taneously?
– E.g. during the cleaning program or
when coffee is being drawn off, see
Section 4. (After drawing off steam).
– See Section 2.4. (Only when using
the appliance for the first time).
– Switch off the appliance. Wait 1/2
hour. Switch on the appliance, see
Section 2.4. (Only when using the

– It is possible that the filter is clogged
with ground coffee. Disconnect the
appliance from the mains. Pull out
the spent coffee drawer. Feel inside
the appliance - you will find a mov-
able flap at the top rear of the appli-
ance. The filter is located behind this
flap. Wipe the filter clean with a dry
cloth. Replace the spent coffee
drawer. Finally, the system must be
filled with water again. See Section
4 (After drawing off steam).
• the spent coffee container is stuck in
the appliance?
– Pull out the drip catcher together
with the spent coffee drawer, care-
fully remove the spent coffee con-
tainer from the appliance. Refit the
drip catcher with the spent coffee
drawer, but without the spent cof-
fee container and wait until the
