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 unmatch-
able 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
only to a mains power supply of which
the voltage, type of supply and fre-
quency conform with the details
shown on the type plate (this can be
found on the upper part, behind the
service cover)!
• Never allow the mains lead to come
into contact with hot parts of the
appliance.
• Never use the mains lead to pull the
plug out of the mains socket!
• Do not use the coffee machine, if:
– the mains lead is damaged, or
– the case shows visible signs of dam-
age.
• This appliance is not intended for use
by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge unless they have been given
initial supervision or instruction con-
cerning use of the appliance by a per-
son responsible for their safety.
Child safety
• Do not leave the coffee machine run-
ning unattended, and take special
care when children are about!
Safety in operation
• Caution! The coffee dispenser, swivel
nozzle and cup rack become hot in
operation. Keep childeren at a safe
distance!
• Caution! Danger of scalding when the
steam nozzle is activated! Hot water

Activate the steam nozzle only when
you are holding a container under the
nozzle.

g
32
• Do not use steam to heat inflammable
liquids!
• Only use the coffee machine with
water in the system! Fill the water tank
with cold water. Do not use hot water,
milk or other liquids. Do not exceed the
maximum fill level of 1.5 litres.
• Do not put frozen or caramelised cof-
fee beans in the bean container. Use
only roast coffee beans! Remove any
foreign bodies from the coffee beans.
Failure to do this invalidates the guar-
antee.
• Spoon only ground coffee into the
ground coffee filler.
• Do not leave the coffee machine
switched on unnecessarily.
• Do not expose the coffee machine to
the weather.
• When using an extension lead, use only
a commercially available cable with a

4 Using for the First Time
4.1 Setting Up and Connecting the
Coffee Machine
Place machine on a suitable horizontal,
stable, unheated and water-resistant
surface. Ensure there is good air circu-
lation.
Important! If the coffee machine is
brought into a warm room from a cold
environment, wait about two hours
before switching on!
We advise you to place the coffee
machine on a suitable mat to prevent
damage being caused by spray and
splashes.
0Hold the bean container with the
marking on the "Unlockcontainer"
position, and set it in place (Fig. 4).
The bottom opening of the bean con-
tainer must be closed (Fig. 4,a), if it is
not closed (Fig. 4,b), insert the tip of a
ballpoint pen in the small oval hole
(arrow) of the black ring with the
marking "TOP“ and turn opening clock-
wise as far as the stop.
0Now turn the bean container anti-
clockwise to the position "Coffee
beans“ (Fig. 10) or further on to
the position "Powder“ (Fig. 14).
0Push the drip tray in, until it engages
on the right under the water tank
(Fig. 5).
0Plug the coffee machine into an
earthed mains socket. Do not use a
socket that is not earthed!
0If you do not need the full length of
the mains lead, open the cable com-
partment on the back of the coffee
machine, and tidy away the unused
lead (Fig. 6).
4.2 Filling with Water
Each time before switching on the cof-
fee machine, check that there is water
in the water tank and refill if necessary.
The coffee machine requires water for
the automatic rinsing processes each
time the machine is switched on or off.
0Remove the water tank from the cof-
fee machine (Fig. 7).
0Fill the water tank with fresh cold
water (Fig. 8).
3Pour only fresh cold water in the water
tank. Never put in other liquids, e.g.
mineral water or milk.
0Replace the water tank (Fig. 7). Press
the tank firmly in, to ensure that the
water-tank valve opens.
3If water must be refilled during the use
of the coffee machine, the "Fill water
tank" indicator (Fig. 3, i) flashes.
Coffee resp. hot water/steam prepara-
tion is interrupted. Fill the water tank!
3To always be sure of a rich coffee, full
of aroma, you should:
• change the water in the water tank
daily
• wash the water tank at least once per
week in normal washing-up water (not
in the dishwasher). Then flush with
fresh water.
4.3 Switching the Coffee Machine
On
0Switch the coffee machine on by
means of the "On/Off" key (Fig. 3, f)
(Fig. 9). While the water is being
heated (approx. 60 seconds) the "Cof-
fee machine heating" indicator (Fig. 3,
g) flashes.
0Once the operating temperature has
been reached, the coffee machine car-
ries out an automatic flushing cycle.
The water flows out into the drip tray.
The "Coffee machine heating" indica-
tor (Fig. 3, g) remains constantly on.
The coffee machine is now ready to
use.
3Immediately after being switched on
the machine runs through a set-up
cycle. The noises occurring are per-
fectly normal.

g
34
4.4 Switching the Coffee Machine
Off
If you switch the coffee machine off
with the "On/Off" key (Fig. 3, f)
after you have finished making coffee,
the machine carries out a flush pro-
gram, during which time the "Empty
grounds container" indicator (Fig. 3, h)
flashes for about 1 minute as a
reminder. If you switch the coffee
machine off with the "On/Off" key (Fig.
3, f) while a function is running,
all functions are immediately switched
off.
4.5 Setting the Water Hardness
After first placing the machine in use
or when using a different water quality
you should set the machine to the
water hardness level corresponding to
the local water hardness. You can use
the included test card to determine the
water hardness, or contact your local
water supply company.
Determining water hardness
0Dip the test strip in cold water for
around 1 second. Shake off the excess
water, and gauge the hardness by
means of the pink bands.
No pink bands or one pink band:
Hardness 1, soft
up to 1.24 mmol/l, or
up to 7° German hardness, or
up to 12.6° French hardness
Two pink bands:
Hardness 2, medium hard
up to 2.5 mmol/l, or
up to 14° German hardness, or
up to 25.2° French hardness
Three pink bands:
Hardness 3, hard
up to 3.7 mmol/l, or
up to 21° German hardness, or
up to 37.8° French hardness
Four pink bands:
Hardness 4, very hard
over 3.7 mmol/l or
over 21° German hardness, or
over 37.8° French hardness
Setting and saving the water
hardness level
You can set 4 hardness levels. The cof-
fee machine is factory-set to hardness
level 4.
0 With the machine switched on, turn the
bean container to the "Coffee Beans"
position (Fig. 10) .
0 Press and hold the "Clean" key (Fig. 3,
k)
.
0Now repeatedly press the "Coffee

The hardness levels are indicated as
follows:
Hardness level 1
Hardness level 2
Hardness level 3
Hardness level 4
3Interrogate the set water hardness
level: With the machine switched on,
turn the bean container to the "Coffee
Beans" position .
Press and hold the
"Clean" key (Fig. 3, k) . The set
water hardness level is now indicated.
5 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.

g
35
1Ensure that you use only pure coffee
beans with no caramelised or aroma-
tised additives. Do not use frozen
beans.
5.1 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, U) 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 at a medium
grinding texture. Notes on changing
the grinder setting can be found in
„Setting the Grinding Texture" page 38.
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.
5.2 Select Cup Size
Depending on your taste, select a
"short" espresso or a "long" milky cof-
fee.
0 The selection is made by repeatedly
pressing the "Cup Size" key (Fig. 3, d)
until the desired cup symbol is indicated.
The cup sizes are indicated as follows:
Espresso cup

can be found in „Changing and Saving
the Cup Measure" on page 37.
5.3 Selecting the Coffee Quantity
0Repeatedly press the "Coffee Quantity"
key (Fig. 3, c) until the desired cof-
fee quantity is indicated.
The coffee quantities are indicated as
follows:
"extra mild"
"mild"
"normal"
"strong"
"extra strong"
3To save having to select the coffee
quantity every time you switch on the
coffee machine, you can save the cof-
fee quantity in relation to the cup size.
Notes on how to do this can be found
in „Changing and Saving the Coffee
Quantity" on page 38.
5.4 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 40.
0Press the Key for 1 cup of coffee (Fig.
3, b) or the Key for 2 cups of cof-
fee (Fig. 3, a) . When you dispense
2 cups of coffee, the previously set
"Coffee Quantity" is doubled and the
"Cup Measure" is adjusted accordingly.
The coffee is now made.

g
36
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 stop coffee being dispensed by
briefly pressing the coffee dispensing
key.
6 Making Ready-ground
Coffee
This function allows you to brew pre-
ground coffee, e.g.
decaffinated coffee.
Note that you must use only the sup-
plied measuring spoon, and never put
more than 2 level measuring spoons of
ground coffee into the ground coffee
filler.
1
Note! 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.
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.
6.1 Using 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.
All coffee quantity indicator lamps
(Fig. 3, c) are extinguished (Fig. 15).
0Open the lid of the ground coffee filler,
and spoon in the fresh ground coffee
(Fig. 16).
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.
6.2 Select Cup Size
Refer to „Select Cup Size" page 35.
6.3 Dispensing Coffee
Refer to „Dispensing Coffee" page 35.
7 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, e) . The
indicator illuminates, at the same time
the "Coffee machine heating" indicator
(Fig. 3, g) flashes. When the heating
process is finished, the indicator
changes from flashing to constantly
on. The coffee machine is now ready
for frothing milk.
3If the steam function is left unused for
more than 1 minute, the coffee
machine automatically changes back
to coffee-making 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.

g
37
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 posi-
tion (Fig. 17). The milk is now frothed
up.
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 stop frothing, turn the Selection dial
for steam and hot water (Fig. 1, D) to
the position and remove the jug
(Fig. 17).
1Caution! Danger of scalding from hot
milk spray! Switch the steam off,
before removing the jug with the
frothed milk.
0To finish steam mode, press the "Steam
Pre-selector" key (Fig. 3, e) , or wait
ca. 60 sec., for the machine to auto-
matically return to the coffee mode.
The indication is extinguished.
The coffee machine is now ready for
making coffee again.
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.
0Remove the frothing aid after each use
(Fig. 18). 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 off with
a damp cloth.
1Caution! Danger of burns from the
frothing aid! Hold the frothing aid only
by the black seal.
8 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. 19). Hot water is now
prepared.
0After you have dispensed the hot water
turn the Selection dial for steam and
hot water (Fig. 1, D) back to the
position (Fig. 19) and remove the con-
tainer.
9 Changing and Saving the
Cup Measure
The coffee machine is factory-set to
standard measures. These measures can
be individually changed to your own
taste and saved for each cup size. The
adjustment can take place in both
bean and powder mode. The setting of
"Cup Measure" is only possible for
1 cup. When dispensing 2 cups the
"Cup Measure" is doubled.
0Repeatedly press the "Cup Size" key
(Fig. 3, d) until the cup symbol, for
which you wish to change the measure,
is illuminated.
0Place the appropriate cup under the
coffee dispenser (e.g. coffee mug).
0Press and hold the Key for 1 cup of
coffee (Fig. 3, b) until the cup/mug
is filled to the desired measure. Release
the key. Your new cup measure is now
saved.

g
38
0Repeat the process if you would like to
change the measures for the other cup
symbols.
3The machine switches off automati-
cally on reaching the max. Cup Mea-
sure. The saved measures remain stored
when the coffee machine is switched
off. If your coffee cups or your taste
change, you can easily change the cup
measure(s) to your new requirements,
whenever you want.
10 Changing and Saving the
Coffee Quantity
You can set and save a different coffee
quantity for each cup symbol to your
individual requirements. This can be
done only for use with coffee beans,
not for use with ground coffee.
0Repeatedly press the "Cup Size" key
(Fig. 3, d) until the desired cup sym-
bol is indicated.
0Then repeatedly press the "Coffee
Quantity" key (Fig. 3, c) until the
desired coffee quantity indicator is
illuminated, and hold the key pressed
(Fig. 20).
After the key has been held for a few
seconds, all the coffee quantity indica-
tors are briefly extinguished (Fig. 21).
Now release the key. The coffee quan-
tity is now saved.
0Repeat the process if you would like to
save coffee quantities for the remain-
ing cup symbols.
3The saved quantities remain stored
when the coffee machine is switched
off.
11 Setting the Grinding
Texture
1Note! The grinder settings must be
changed only while coffee is being
ground. Making adjustments to the
stationary grinder can damage the cof-
fee machine.
0Press the Key for 1 cup of coffee (Fig.
3, b) to make one cup of coffee.
While the coffee is being ground, use
the Lever for setting grinding texture
(Fig. 2, U) and (Fig. 22) to change the
grinding texture.
The lever positions have the following
effects:
Fine grade for intensive taste
Medium grade for normal
taste
Coarse grade for mild coffee
Remove foreign bodies from the
grinder
Foreign bodies, such as small stones, in
the grinder can damage the grinder.
The coffee machine includes a stone
detector. A foreign body in the coffee
causes a loud, even rattle. If you hear
this noise while coffee is being ground,
immediately switch off the coffee
machine and remove the foreign body,
as described in „Cleaning the Grinder"
page 41.
12 Setting the Coffee
Temperature
There are five temperature levels to
choose from. In the "Set Coffee Tem-
perature" mode, the coffee quantity
indicator is illuminated, which now
acts as the coffee temperature indica-
tor.

g
39
The coffee temperature levels are indi-
cated as follows:
"lukewarm"
"warm"
"normal"
"hot"
"extra hot"
The factory setting is "normal“. You can
change this setting as follows:
0Switch the appliance on and wait until
it is in the base position.
0Simultaneously press and hold the Key
for 1 cup of coffee (Fig. 3, b) and
the "Steam Pre-selector" key (Fig. 3, e)
.
0While still holding these keys, press the
"On/Off" key (Fig. 3, f) . All indica-
tors are extinguished.
0Keep all three keys pressed for around
1 second, until the "Coffee machine
heating" indicator (Fig. 3, g) and one
of the coffee temperature indicators
are illuminated.
0Now release all three keys.
0Use the "Coffee Quantity" key (Fig. 3, c)
(increase temp.) or the "Cup Size"
key (Fig. 3, d) (reduce temp.) to
select the temperature level you
require.
0When you have selected the tempera-
ture, press the "Clean" key (Fig. 3, k)
to save and exit the "Set Coffee
Temperature" mode.
13 Setting the Switch-off
Time
If the coffee machine is not used for a
set amount of time, it automatically
switches off for economy reasons.
You can choose between five switch-
off times (automatic switch-off after
1 to 5 hours).

15 Cleaning and Care
To ensure consistent coffee quality and
faultless operation, always keep your
coffee machine clean.
15.1 Regular Cleaning
1Caution! Before cleaning, switch off
the coffee machine and allow it to cool
down. Do not use any abrasive, scour-
ing or corrosive cleaning materials.
Wipe the inside and outside of the case
only with a damp cloth.
1Note! Never put the coffee machine or
separate parts of the coffee machine in
the dishwasher.
1Note! Never put water in the coffee
bean container, as this would damage
the grinder.
0Remove the water tank daily (Fig. 7)
and empty any remaining water away.
Rinse out the water tank with fresh
water. Use fresh water every day.
0Empty the coffee grounds container
daily, see „Emptying the Coffee
Grounds Container" page 40.
0Regularly drain the drip tray. This can
be done at any time, but must be done
when the red Drip tray float (Fig. 1, I)
appears through the opening in the
drip grille.
0Regularly (at least once per week)
clean the Water tank (Fig. 1, M), Drip
tray (Fig. 1, J), Drip grille (Fig. 1, H) and
Coffee grounds container (Fig. 1, G)
with warm water, a mild washing up
liquid and possibly a brush.
0From time to time, remove the coffee
bean container and clear away any res-
idues.
0Each time the machine is used for
frothing, remove the frothing aid and
clean off any milk remains. The air
intake opening under the seal must not
become blocked. This can be cleaned
out with a thin needle.
15.2 Cleaning the height adjustment
0If the height adjustment of the coffee
dispenser becomes stiff, remove the
coffee grounds container, open the
service cover and remove it. Slide the
height adjuster right down, and off the
bottom. To do this, gently raise the
inside catch. Use warm water to clean
any coffee residues from both parts.
Reassemble the two parts. To do this,
gently pull up the catch. Check the
ease of movement of the height
adjuster. Refit the service cover and
push the grounds container back in
place.
15.3 Emptying the Coffee Grounds
Container
At regular intervals, after every 16 cof-
fee brews "1 cup“ resp. 8 coffee brews
"2 cups“, the "Empty grounds con-
tainer" indicator (Fig. 3, h) signals
that the container has to be emptied
and cleaned.
0When the coffee machine is in daily
use, empty the container daily. The
indicator flashes for around 1 minute
each time the machine is switched off,
as a reminder to do this.
