Before using for
the  rst time
General
Fill the water tank with fresh, uncarbonated
water only and preferably use only beans
or coffee blends suitable for fully automatic
espresso and coffee machines. Do not
use coffee beans that have been glazed,
caramelised or treated with other additives
containing sugar, since they will block the
brewing unit.
The water hardness setting can be adjusted
on this appliance. The factory setting for the
water hardness is 4. Check the hardness
of the water you use with the enclosed test
strip. If the test reveals a value other than
4, change the setting on the appliance ac-
cordingly after switching on (see “Settings”,
“Water hardness” on page 11).
Setting up the appliance
1. Place the fully automatic espresso ma-
chine on a  at, water-resistant surface
that can take its weight. The ventila-
tion slots on the appliance must not be
covered.
2. Pull out the mains plug from the cable
compartment (20) and plug it in. Adjust
the length of the cable by pushing it
back in and pulling it out. To do this,
place the appliance with its back  ush
with the edge of the work surface and
either pull the cable downwards or
push it upwards.
3. Assemble the milk frother. Only use the
appliance when the milk frother (6) is
completely assembled and  tted.

ated for a long period, the rst beverage will
not have the full aroma and should not be
consumed.
When the fully automatic espresso machine
is rst used, you will achieve a suitably thick
and stable “crema” only after the rst few
cups have been dispensed.
If the appliance is in use for a long period of
time, water droplets will form on the ventila-
tion slits. This is normal.
Water lter

Information: Rinsing the  lter simultane-
ously activates the setting for the change
 lter display (= LED D  ashes).
The  lter is no longer effective when the
change  lter display appears, or at the
latest after two months. It needs to be re-
placed for reasons of hygiene and so that
there is no build-up of limescale (this could
damage the appliance). Replacement  lters
can be obtained from retailers (TCZ7003) or
from customer service (467873). If no new
 lter is inserted, change the setting for the
 lter (see "Water hardness”).
Information: You can use the  lter indicator
to mark the month in which you inserted the
 lter. You can also mark the month in which
you will need to replace the  lter next (at
the latest after two months).
Information: If the appliance has not been
used for a prolonged period (for example,
when you are on vacation), the existing  lter
should be rinsed before the appliance is
used again. To do so, dispense a cup of hot
water and pour it away.
Settings
You can customize the settings on the
appliance.
You can make the following adjustments:

establish the water hardness either by us-
ing the test strip provided or by asking your
local water provider.
Dip the test strip in the water brie y, shake
it gently and check the result after one
minute.

Tips on saving energy
● The fully automatic espresso machine
switches off automatically after one hour
(default setting). The default time of one
hour can be shortened (see “Settings”,
“Automatic switch-off” on page 11).
● Switch off the fully automatic espresso
machine when not in use. To do this,
press the service button (12). The appli-
ance rinses and switches off.
● If possible, do not interrupt coffee or milk
froth dispensing. Stopping a process
prematurely results in higher energy con-
sumption and the drip tray lls up more
quickly.
● Descale the appliance regularly to avoid
a build-up of limescale. Limescale residue
results in higher energy consumption.
