2 Coffee and espresso
Your fully automated coffee machine
guarantees you
• Absolute ease of operation,both in
making coffee and in maintenance and
care.
The excellent, individual taste is
achieved by
• The pre-brewing system: before the
coffee is brewed, it is first moistened to
extract its full aroma
• The individually controllable amount of
water per cup, from a short espresso to
a „long“ milky coffee
• The individually controllable tempera-
ture, at which the coffee is made
• The choice between a normal or a
strong cup of coffee
• The grinding texture – adjustable to
the roast of the coffee beans, and
• Last, but not least, the guaranteed
crema, that small crown of froth that
makes espresso-coffee so unmatcha-
ble for connoisseurs
Did you know? The time the water is
in contact with the ground coffee is
considerably less for espresso coffee
than conventional filter coffee. As a
result, less bitterness is released from
the ground coffee– making espresso-
coffee that much milder!
3 Safety Information
1This appliance corresponds to accepted
technological standards with regards
to safety and to the German Appliance
Safety Law. As the manufacturer, we
nevertheless wish to familiarise you
with the following safety information.
General safety
• The coffee machine must be connected

6 Making Coffee with Beans
The following process for making cof-
fee with beans runs completely auto-
matically: Grinding, portioning,
pressing, pre-brewing, brewing, ejec-
tion of the coffee grounds.
The facility to select the grinding tex-
ture and the coffee quantity allows
you to individually set up the coffee
machine to your own personal taste.
1Ensure that you use only pure coffee
beans with no caramelised or aroma-
tised additives. Do not use frozen
beans.
6.1 Filling the Coffee Bean
Container
0 Turn the bean container to the „Coffee
Beans“ position
( Fig. 10) . The mech-
anism sets to the required function
.
0Set the grinding texture (Fig. 11).
Using the grinding texture adjustment
(Fig. 2, V) you can set the grinding tex-
ture of the grinder.
1Note! Before putting beans into the
coffee machine for the first time, you
can set the grinding texture once with
the grinder stationary. Once the
grinder has been filled with beans, the
setting can be changed only while
grinding is proceeding. Otherwise the
coffee machine could be damaged.
3The grinder is factory-set to a medium
grinding texture. Notes on changing
the grinder setting can be found in
„Setting the Grinding Texture" page 45.
0Raise the lid of the coffee bean con-
tainer, and fill the container with fresh
coffee beans (Fig. 12). Then reclose the
lid.
1Note! Make sure that no foreign bod-
ies, such as stones, enter the coffee
bean container. Damage caused by for-
eign bodies in the grinder is excluded
from the guarantee.
6.2 Select Cup Size
Depending on your taste, select a
„short“ espresso or a „long“ milky cof-
fee.
0For this press the „Cup Size“ key (Fig. 3,
d) until the desired cup sym-
bol is selected or the desired cup size is
indicated on the display.
The cup sizes are indicated as follows:
3The bottom line in the display shows
the coffee quantity. The procedure for
changing this is described in the fol-
lowing section.
3The machine is set to standard quanti-
ties at the factory. Instructions for

to be found under „Programming the
cup measure and the coffee quantity"
on page 44.
6.3 Selecting the coffee quantity
0Press the „Coffee Quantity“ key (Fig. 3,
c) until the desired coffee
quantity symbol lights or the desired
coffee quantity is selected on the dis-
play.
The coffee quantities are indicated as
follows:
«CUP SMALL»Espressocup
«CUP MEDIUM»Coffeecup
«CUP LARGE»Coffeemug
«EXTRA MILD» extra mild
«MILD» mild
«NORMAL»normal
«STRONG»strong
«EXTRA-
STRONG»extra strong

3The top line in the display indicates the
cup size. The instructions for selectig a
different cup size are contained in the
previous section.
3To save having to select the coffee
quantity every time you switch on the
coffee machine, you can permanently
save the coffee quantity in relation to
the cup size. Instructions are to be
found under „Programming the cup
measure and the coffee quantity" on
page 44.
6.4 Setting the number of cups and
dispensing coffee
0Place one or two cups under the coffee
dispenser. The dispenser can be slid up
or down to match the height of your
cup/mug to reduce heat loss and cof-
fee splashes (Fig. 13).
3If the height adjuster is stiff, proceed
as described under „Cleaning the
height adjustment“ page 48.
0Press the key „1 or 2 cups of coffee“
(Fig. 3, b) once or twice in order
to select 1 or 2 cups. The display shows
«1CUP» or «2CUPS». If you have
selected «2CUPS», the key lights up.
0Press the „OK“ key (Fig. 3, g).
The coffee is now made.
3In the coffee-making process, the
ground coffee is first of all wetted with
a small quantity of water for pre-
brewing. Following a short pause, the
actual brewing process commences.
0You can prematurely stop the coffee
being dispensed at any time by briefly
pressing the previously actuated „OK“
key (Fig. 3, g) once again. This is indi-
cated in the display with «BREAK».
3If you have not dispensed coffee for a
long period of time with the machine
switched on, you should rinse the sys-
tem before dispensing again. Start the
rinsing with the „Rinse“ key (Fig. 3, e),
the display shows «UNIT RINSES».
With this additional rinsing phase the
brewing unit is brought back to the
initial coffee dispensing temperature.
7 Making Ready-ground
Coffee
This function allows you to brew pre-
ground coffee, e.g. decaffeinated cof-
fee.
Note that you must use only the sup-
plied measuring spoon, and never put
more than 2 level measuring spoons of
ground coffee (max. 16 g) into the
ground coffee filler.
1Note! Make sure that no ground coffee
has remained in the filler, and that no
foreign bodies enter the filler. The
ground coffee filler is not a storage
container. The ground coffee must be
fed directly into the coffee-making
unit.
If the brewing unit is overfilled, the
machine indicates a fault; the display
then shows «CLEAN BREWING
UNIT» and «SWITCHES OFF
UNIT» alternately. For instructions on
cleaning the brewing unit, see „Clean-
ing the Coffee-making Unit“ page 49.
1Do not put any water-soluble or
freeze-dried instant powders or any
other drink powder into the ground
coffee filler. Coffee powder, which is
too fine, can lead to blockages.

7.1 Filling the ground coffee filler
0Turn the coffee bean container to the
„Ground Coffee“ position (Fig. 14).
The mechanism sets to the required
function.
3When using ready ground coffee, the
„Coffee Quantity“ function is inactive.
So no coffee quantity signal lamps
light.
0Open the lid of the ground coffee filler,
and spoon in the fresh ground coffee
(Fig. 15).
Do not add coffee during the brewing
process. Only put in ground coffee for
the next cup when the brewing process
has completely finished and the coffee
machine is ready.
0Close the lid.

7.3 Setting number of cups and
Dispensing coffee
See „Setting the number of cups and
dispensing coffee" page 41.
8 Frothing Milk
The steam can be used to froth milk
and to heat liquids. Since a higher
temperature is needed to produce
steam than to make coffee, the coffee
machine has an additional steam
mode.
3To make a cappuccino, fill a large cup
1/2 to 2/3 full with espresso, and then
add the frothed milk.
1Caution! Danger of scalding when the
steam nozzle is activated! Hot water or
steam output can cause scalding. Do
not activate the steam nozzle until it is
immersed in the milk.
0To produce steam, press the „Steam
Pre-selector“ key (Fig. 3, a) . The
indicator illuminates; the „Unit heats“
indicator (Fig. 3, i) can also flash and
the display shows «UNIT HEATS».
When the heating process is finished,
the „Unit heats“ indicator (Fig. 3, i)
lights continuously the display shows
«STEAM READY – OPEN STEAM
NOZZLE». The machine is ready for
the milk frothing.
3If the steam function is not used for
longer than 1 minute, the machine
switches back automatically to the
coffee mode.
0Pour low-fat, cold milk into a mug
which must be small enough to fit
under the steam nozzle.
3The milk should be cold. You should
also use a cold mug, preferably a stain-
less steel one which should not be
rinsed beforehand in hot water.
0Swing out the steam nozzle and hold
the mug under the steam nozzle so
that the nozzzle opening is just
immersed in the milk.

1Attention! Impurities from dried milk
residues in the steam nozzle. Take care
not to immerse the steam nozzle in the
milk far enough to cover the air intake
opening at the top of the steam nozzle.
Otherwise milk can be sucked into the
nozzle and cause impurities in the
steam nozzle.
0Turn the Selection dial for steam and
hot water (Fig. 1, D) to the position
(Fig. 16). The display shows the
steam process (indication «STEAM»).
The milk is frothed.
3Hold the mug steady during the froth-
ing. The nozzle should not be allowed
to touch the bottom of the mug and
cut off the steam supply. Froth the milk
to at least twice its volume.
0To end the frothing, turn the Selection
dial for steam and hot water (Fig. 1, D)
to the position and then remove the
vessel (Fig. 16). The display returns to
the steam readiness indication (indica-
tion «STEAM READY – OPEN
STEAM NOZZLE»).
1Caution! Danger of scalding from hot
milk spray! Switch the steam off,
before removing the mug with the
frothed milk.
0Exit the steam mode by pressing the
„Steam Pre-selector“ key (Fig. 3, a)
or wait ca. 60 sec., for the machine to
automatically return to the coffee
mode; the indication is extinguished.
Now the machine is once again ready
for making coffee; the last selected
coffee setting is shown in the display.
0Each time you have frothed milk, let
off some hot water through the nozzle
for a short time by setting the Selec-
tion dial for steam and hot water (Fig.
1, D) to the position. This is nec-
essary to prevent milk residues drying
inside the nozzle, and thereby blocking
it. Use a suitable container to catch the
water. During this process the display
shows «HOTWATER». Then return
the Selector dial to the position ; the
last selected coffee setting is shown in
the display.
0Remove the frothing aid after each use
(Fig.17). For this, take hold of the
frothing aid by the black seal and dis-
engage the bayonet connector by
turning it slightly anticlockwise. Rinse
off the milk residues under running
water. Wipe the steam nozzle with a
damp cloth.
1Caution! Danger of burns from the
frothing aid! Hold the frothing aid only
by the black seal.
9 Preparing Hot Water
The hot water can be used to pre-heat
cups and for making hot drinks, e.g. tea
or instant soups.
1Caution! Danger of scalding when the
hot water nozzle is activated! Hot
water or steam output can cause
scalding. Activate the hot water nozzle
only when a container is under the hot
water nozzle.
0Place a container under the hot water
nozzle. Set the Selection dial for steam
and hot water (Fig. 1, D) to the
position (Fig. 18). Hot water is ready;
the display shows «HOTWATER».
0After you have dispensed the hot water
turn the Selection dial for steam and
hot water (Fig. 1, D) back to the
position (Fig. 18) and remove the con-
tainer.
