In case of long periods of absence, vaca-
tion etc., the machine must be emptied,
cleaned and the mains plug must be re-
moved from the socket.
When there is risk of frost, all residual
water must be removed, see the section
on „Evaporate remaining water“ on page
38.
The mains voltage must match the spec-
ifications on the nameplate. Only con-
nect the machine to a grounded 3-pin
wall socket. In the case of an incorrect
connection your warranty rights may be
forfeited.
Do not damage the mains cord by plac-
ing it on or near hot objects or over
sharp edges. Do not allow the mains cord
to hang down (risk of tripping). Do not
touch the mains cord with wet hands.
Do not pull the plug from the socket by

Cleaning or servicing of the machine
that is normally carried out by the user
must not be carried out by children un-
less they are 8 years old or older and act
under supervision.
The machine and its connection cable
must be kept out of the reach of children
younger than 8 years. Children must not
play with the machine.
Never open the lever on the machine
during the brewing, rinsing, cleaning or
descaling processes. When a process has
been completed and the lever is then
opened, never hold your fingers under
the spout - there is a risk of scalding
from remaining hot liquid dripping from
the spout! When the brewing process
has been completed, slowly open the le-
ver in order to eject the capsule; do not
bend over the capsule insertion opening
(risk of hot liquid sprays).
Never reach with your fingers into the
capsule insertion opening - risk of in-
jury!

Safety instruc-
tions (continued)
EN
Refer to the instructions for use of all
cleaning and descaling agents before
use and comply with the safety regula-
tions.
Never use a damaged or deformed cap-
sule. Only use drink capsules marked
with the K-fee® system logo that are in-
tended for the machine.
Capsules to be used!
Only use original K-fee® system cap-
sules! Look for the red K-fee® sys-
tem logo and the characteristic fluted
shape of the capsules.
Using non-original capsules involves the
following risks:
1. Health hazards
When using non-original capsules, dif-
ferences in the brewing process and
the capsule design can cause hot water
to escape under high pressure - risk of
scalding!
2. Damage to the machine and war-
ranty
When using non-original capsules, dif-
ferences in the brewing process and the
capsule design will cause damage to the
machine which means that any warranty
claims may be forfeited!
The manufacturer and his distribution
partner cannot be held liable for any
injury or damage which is the direct
or indirect result of non-original cap-
sules being used with this machine.

Use the rotary scale
to set the month
for the next filter
change. The hardness of the
water determines the ser-
vice life of the water filter
(see water hardness table
on page 37). For an average
consumption of one full wa-
ter tank per day we recom-
mend a filter change:

Evaporate
remaining water
EN With this function, any remaining water in the
machine is evaporated and removed. This pre-
vents any residual water freezing in the machine
when the machine is transported or stored at
temperatures below freezing point.
CAUTION
Extreme temperatures can cause dam-
age to the machine (permitted operat-
ing temperature 10 - 45°C). For this reason the
machine
- must be protected against frost,
- must not be used at temperatures below 10°C,
- must not be used at temperatures over 45°C.
Procedure
• If necessary, warm up the machine until it
reaches room temperature.
• Open and close the lever in order to eject any
existing capsule.
• Take out and empty the water tank.
• Ensure that the machine is switched off.
WARNING
Risk of scalding! The evaporation pro-
cess results in hot steam (up to 120°C)
and hot water.
Do not reach under the spout and maintain a
safe distance from the spout.
• Hold the „small cup“ and the rinsing button
depressed at the same time. Now press the
on/off button. Evaporation starts and the
„large cup“ button flashes green.
• After the evaporation process the machine
switches off automatically.
• Re-insert the empty water tank.
• Empty and dry the drip tray and spent capsule
container.
• Use a dry cloth to wipe the front of the hous-
ing.

Frequently Asked
Questions
EN
The machine will only work
with capsules marked with
the K-fee® system logo.
Is the drink dispensing process delayed?
The machine will re-adjust the temperature for the requested drink.
Is the spent capsule container overfull and jammed?
Try to remove the spent capsule container by jogging the container gently to and fro.
Is the drink not hot enough?
Pre-warm the cup. If necessary, descale the machine – see the "Descale the machine every month"
section.
Are all buttons flashing at a fast rate?
Switch the machine off and remove the plug from the mains supply. If the problem persists, please
inform Customer Service.
Is the drink not dispensed properly?
Push the lever fully down. If necessary, descale the machine – see the "Descale the machine every
month" section.
Do I have to descale the machine if I am using the water filter?
If the water filter is regularly changed, no descaling is necessary. Nevertheless, it is possible that
mineral deposits occur depending on the water quality and the machine location. For this reason we
recommend an annual cleansing/rinsing process using a K-fee® system descaler.
Does the machine suddenly switch off during a period of intensive use?
If the cooling-down period is too short, the machine switches itself off as protection against over-
heating. In this case allow the machine to cool down for about 30 minutes before using it again.
Does the machine switch itself off?
The machine switches off automatically if it is unused for more than 5 minutes. Please remember that
the machine uses power as long as it is plugged into the mains socket (< 0.5 W).
