WARNING
If you receive a damaged product,
immediately contact your dealer or builder.
Do not install or use a damaged appliance.
Do not use the coffee system until it has
been properly installed by a qualified installer
according to the accompanying installation
instructions. Have the installer show you the

or junction box so that you know where and
how to turn off power to the coffee system.
Do not install, repair, or replace any part
of the coffee system unless specifically
recommended in the literature accompanying

Setting Up Your Coffee System
Before Your Coffee System is Installed
Call your local water company. Ask them for the water hardness level of the
water supplied to the building where your coffee system will be installed.
If the water hardness level is above four grains per gallon (4 gpg):
If you are installing model CM24P-1, contact a water treatment specialist
and have a water treatment system installed to reduce the water
hardness level to 4 gpg or less.
If you are installing model CM24T-1, pour only filtered water with a
hardness level of 4 gpg or less into the water tank. DO NOT use
distilled water.
Have a licensed electrician install a dedicated, grounded power receptacle
near the coffee system, if one is not available.
Have a qualified installer install the coffee system in the desired location
according to the accompanying installation instructions.
1.
2.
3.
4.
WARNING
To avoid sickness, flush the coffee system out before operating it
for the first time according to the Flushing Out the Coffee System
section on page 41. Doing so will remove any bacteria left in the
unit during shipping and storage.
This appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for
your protection against possible electric shock hazards. It must be
plugged into a dedicated, grounded power receptacle.
Make sure that the coffee system has been properly installed by
a qualified installer according to the accompanying installation

12 Automatic Coffee System
Basic Operation
Things to Know Before You Start
If you push the cafe latte, latte, or cappuccino button, the coffee
system will display a ”Please Milk Clean” message
about two hours after the last milk drink was dispensed.
The message will appear even if no milk was in the milk
compartment at the time the button was pushed.
“Clean Group” will appear on the display when the
coffee system needs a routine cleaning. The “Clean
Group” message will disappear after you follow the
Routine Cleaning Instructions on page 37.
A small amount of dripping from the dispensers is normal after
drinks are dispensed.
This coffee system is designed to make one (in some cases two) hot
drink(s) at a time.
Drink volume may vary due to coffee type, grind time, temperature,
tamping time, and pre-brewing time.
For proper operation, clean your coffee system regularly according to
the cleaning schedule on page 34.
When the coffee system makes coffee, it dumps the
used coffee grounds into the used coffee ground bin. You
must empty out the bin when it becomes full. “Drawer
Full” will appear on the display. See the Routine Cleaning
Instructions on page 37.
The coffee system purges water into the drip tray to
ensure that the water used for drink making is hot.
Empty out the drip tray when it starts to get full.
WARNING
On model CM24T-1, clean the water
tank daily to avoid sickness due to
bacteria growth.

Making Coffee and Other Hot Drinks
Espresso
Your coffee system can make one or two cups of espresso at a time.
One “shot” of espresso is about one ounce of strong coffee.
For one cup of espresso, center a small cup under the coffee
dispenser. For two cups, put two cups side by side under the coffee
dispenser.
1.
NOTE
If you place two cups under the dispenser, the
amount of espresso dispensed will be shared
between the two cups. For example, if you
press the one shot button (about one ounce),
about 1/2 ounce of espresso will be dispensed
in each cup.
WARNING
DO NOT PUSH ANY BUTTONS ON THE FRONT PANEL UNTIL ALL
BODY PARTS AND CLOTHING ARE CLEAR OF THE BREWING
COMPARTMENT. KEEP ALL BODY PARTS AWAY FROM THE
BREWING COMPARTMENT DURING OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER

SEVERE BURNS.
Push one of the espresso buttons. If you push the one shot
button, the coffee system will pour one shot (about one ounce)
of espresso. If you push the two shot button, the coffee system
will pour two shots (about two ounces) of espresso. You will hear
the coffee grinder grind and tamp down the coffee beans, and
the water pump hum as the espresso is made. Push the espresso
button again to make the coffee system stop before the normal
amount is dispensed.
If you want more espresso dispensed, wait
until the display reads “Machine Ready”,
then push one of the espresso buttons again.

WARNING
To avoid sickness, perform a milk cleaning according to the
Cleaning and Maintenance section within two hours of the
last milk drink being dispensed. “Please Milk Clean” will
appear on the display. See page 35.
IMPORTANT
Using non-dairy creamers or half-and-half may cause poor
quality foam.
The fat content in milk varies according to region and
milk brand. For best results you may need to experiment
with different milk fat contents (whole, 2%, 1%), brand
names, milk pinch screw settings, and the milk foam level.

Hot Water for Tea and Other Drinks
Use the hot water button to brew tea and other hot flavored drinks. The
coffee system makes about four ounces of hot beverage at a time.
Put the proper amount of tea or mix for your hot drink into a cup or
glass.
Put the cup or glass under the hot water dispenser.
Push the hot water button. You will hear the water pump hum as hot
water is dispensed. Push the hot water button again to make the
coffee system stop before the normal amount is dispensed.
If you want more hot water dispensed, wait until the display reads
“Machine Ready”, then push the hot water button again. You can also
program the coffee system to dispense more hot water each time the
button is pushed. See page 26.
When the display reads “Machine Ready”, carefully remove the cup
or glass from the brewing compartment. Stir until the drink is properly
mixed.
