1 Preparing and using for the first time
Visit us on the Internet (www.jura.com). You will find interesting and
up-to-date information on your J6 and on every aspect of coffee.
When setting up your J6, please note the following:
UPlace the J6 on a horizontal surface that is not sensitive to
water.
UChoose a spot for your J6 which protects the machine against
overheating. Ensure that the ventilation slots are not covered.
The bean container has an aroma preservation cover. This will ensure
that your coffee beans retain their aroma for longer.
Coffee beans which have been treated with additives (e.g. sugar),
ground coffee or freeze-dried coffee will damage the grinder.
T Only use roasted, untreated coffee beans to fill the bean
container.
TOpen the bean container cover and remove the aroma
preservation cover.
TRemove any dirt or foreign objects from inside the bean
container.
TFill the bean container with coffee beans, then close the
aroma preservation cover and the bean container cover.
When you use the machine for the first time, you must set the water
hardness. If you do not know the hardness of your water, you can
find this out first. Use the Aquadur® test strips supplied with the
machine.
THold the test strip briefly (for 1second) under flowing water.
Shake off the water.
TWait for about 1minute.

When using the machine for the first time, you can choose whether
you want to operate J6 with or without the CLEARYL Smart filter
cartridge. As well as limescale, the filter cartridge filters many other
substances that impair aroma and flavour out of the water. These
substances may negatively affect the coffee. To enjoy the best
quality coffee at all times, we recommend that you use CLEARYL
Smart.
If the machine is operated with a defective power cord, there is a
danger of potentially fatal electric shock.
T Never use a machine which is damaged.
T Never use a machine which has a defective power cord.

Your J6 creates fine, creamy, feather-light milk foam with a perfect
consistency. The most important requirement for frothing milk is
a milk temperature of 39–46 °F (4–8 °C). We would therefore
recommend using a milk cooler or a milk container.
ESuitable milk containers from JURA are available from
specialized dealers.
TRemove the protective cover from the cappuccino frother.
TAttach the milk pipe to the cappuccino frother.
TConnect the other end of the milk pipe to a milk container
or a milk cooler.

Hot coffee, hot steam and hot water can cause scalding. Scalding is
a serious burn.
T Use extreme care when handling hot liquid or steam.
T Allow liquid to cool down before drinking.
T In the event of scalding, rinse affected area with cold water
and seek medical attention.
T Keep children AWAY.
Basic information about preparing drinks:
UDuring the grinding operation you can select the coffee
strength of single products by turning the Rotary Switch.
UDuring preparation, you can change the preset amounts (e.g.
amount of water or milk) by turning the Rotary Switch.
UYou can stop the machine at any time while a specialty
coffee or hot water is being prepared. To do this, press the
‘’ button or the Rotary Switch.
EThe water volume is given as standard in ‘oz’. You can change
this setting to ‘ml’ in programming mode (see Chapter 4
‘Permanent settings in programming mode – Unit for amount
of water’).
Coffee tastes best served hot. A cold porcelain cup cools the
beverage – and impairs the taste. We therefore recommend
prewarming the cups. The full coffee aroma can develop only in
prewarmed cups. You can purchase a JURA cup warmer from your
specialized dealer.
You can make permanent settings for all products in programming
mode (see Chapter 4 ‘Permanent settings in programming mode –
Adjusting the product settings’).
J WARNING

your J6 to your preferred position on the start screen or in the
product selector and make it one of your favorites. You can
duplicate and personalize your favorite specialty coffees by
giving them a new product name and individual settings (e.g.
amount and coffee strength) (see Chapter 4 ‘Permanent
settings in programming mode – Adding products to the start
screen, duplicating and personalising’). Please note that the
descriptions provided in the following sections always refer
to the default settings.

2 Preparation
E15 minutes after preparation, the milk system is automatically
rinsed (see Chapter 5 ‘Maintenance – Automatic milk system
rinsing’). Therefore always place a receptacle under the
cappuccino frother after preparing milk.
To ensure that the cappuccino frother always works properly,
you must clean it daily when you have been preparing milk (see
Chapter 5 ‘Maintenance – Cleaning the milk system’).
You can choose to use a second coffee variety, for example
decaffeinated coffee, with the filter funnel for ground coffee.
ENever add more than two level measuring spoons of ground
coffee.
EUse ground coffee which is not ground too finely. Very fine
coffee can block up the system so that the coffee only comes
out in drips.
EIf you did not fill the machine with a sufficient amount of
ground coffee, ‘Not enough ground coffee’ is displayed and
the J6 stops the operation.
EThe desired specialty coffee must be prepared within
approximately one minute after filling with the ground coffee.
