1. Description
The attraction of this automatic 2-cup espresso/coffee machine
lies in its new operating concept. The top-quality appliance
with adjustable coffee spout and automatic ejection of coffee
grounds ensures perfect coffee by allowing you to choose pre-
cisely the amount of coffee you wish to use.
2. Sa ety instructions

3. Check be ore use
3.1 Checking mains voltage
The machine is set for the correct voltage before leaving our
factory. Ensure that your mains voltage corresponds to the de-
tails quoted on the rating plate attached to the bottom of the
machine.
3.2 Checking use
The appliance is designed for a current of 6 amps. Check that
an appropriate fuse is fitted.
4. Important in ormation be ore use
The Jura Subito has a revolutionary new operating concept.
The heart of this is its revolving cover and the crank handle
with release lever.

7
For safety reasons, the appliance leaves our factory set to the
position for drawing off coffee (Fig. 4). In order to turn the
cover, the crank handle must be lifted to the stop position:
The crank handle is used to rotate the cover and to press the
coffee powder that has been put into the machine. It can only
be lowered in the “Brewing” position (Fig. 2). In order to lift
or lower the crank handle, the release lever must be pulled out
(Figs. 3 and 5).
The cover can only be rotated in a counter-clockwise direction
when the crank handle has been lifted. It has two stop posi-
tions: “Fill coffee” (Fig. 1) and “Brewing” (Fig. 2). These
positions are reached when the cover is heard to click into the
stop as it is rotated and cannot be turned back in a clockwise
direction.
5. Be ore using the machine or the irst time
5.1 Filling the water tank

6.2 Filling with co ee powder
●Rotate the cover to the “Fill coffee” position (Fig. 1).
●Put a maximum of two level tablespoons of coffee powder
in the filler funnel. The strength of the coffee depends on
how much coffee is used.
Important: Only use ground coffee powder. Never fill the
funnel with coffee beans or instant coffee.
6.3 Pressing the co ee powder
●Rotate the cover a 1/4 turn further to the “Brewing” posi-
tion (Fig. 2).
●Pull out the release lever and press the crank handle firmly
downwards without forcing it until you feel it reach the stop
position (Fig. 3). Let go of the release lever. The coffee
powder is now pressed.
●Ensure that the crank handle is securely located in the
lowered position. To do this, pull the ball on the crank
handle lightly upwards.
6.4 Brewing co ee
●Place one or two cups beneath the adjustable coffee spout.
●
Check that the selector switch is in the coffee position ().
●Turn on the operating switch ( ) and draw off coffee (Fig.
4). Due to the build-up of the brewing pressure, the cover
may lift up slightly.
●Once the required amount of coffee has been brewed, turn
off the operating switch ( ) again.
Note: While coffee is being drawn off, the heater warning
lamp ( ) may light up. This shows that the system is
heating. The brewing process must not be interrupted.
6.5 A ter preparation o co ee/espresso
●Release the crank handle and lift it up (Fig. 5).
●Rotate the cover back to its basic position, i.e. a 3/4 turn
(Fig. 6).
●When the cover is rotated, the coffee grounds are automati-
cally ejected into the grounds container. The machine is
ready for use again.
7. Drawing o water
●Fill the water tank with fresh tap water (no further than the
mark) and replace it in the machine, ensuring that it clicks
home correctly.
●Now turn on the power switch ( ). When the heater
warning lamp ( ) goes out, the machine is ready for use.
●Place a cup under the water nozzle and turn the selector
switch to the water position ( ).
●Turn on the operating switch ( ) and draw off water.
Attention: Hot water can cause scalding.
●Once the required amount of water has been draw off, turn

8. Drawing o steam
Steam can be used for warming
up all kinds of liquids and for
frothing up milk for cappuccino.
Ensure that for heating the mov-
able tube of the nozzle is pushed
up. For frothing, the tube must
be down.
●Fill the water tank with fresh
tap water (no further than the
mark) and replace it in the machine, ensuring that it clicks
home correctly.
●Now turn on the power switch ( ). When the heater
warning lamp ( ) goes out, the machine is ready for use.
●Insert the nozzle in the liquid you wish to heat or the milk
you wish to froth and turn the selector switch to the steam
position ( ).
●When steam is being drawn off, the operating switch ()
must not be turned on!
Attention: Hot steam can cause scalding.
Important: Only insert about half the length of the nozzle
into the liquid so that the air supply is not
obstructed. The tip of the nozzle must never touch
the bottom of the cup otherwise the flow of steam
is obstructed.
●Once the required amount of steam has been draw off, turn
the selector switch back to the coffee position ( ).
Note: The heater warning lamp ( ) may light up while steam
is being drawn off. The maximum length of time during
which steam should be drawn off is 1 1/2 minutes.
When the frothing function is used, a little water comes
out of the nozzle first before actual steam can be drawn
off, this has no effect on the success of the frothing
process, for example when milk is frothed up.
8.1 Important a ter drawing o steam
After steam has been drawn off, the system is very hot. In or-
der to protect the machine, it must be cooled down each time
after steam has been drawn off by drawing off water (as per
Section 7). Draw off water until the heater warning lamp ( )
lights up again. Drawing off water also cleans the inside of the
frothing nozzle.
After drawing off steam, the outside of the nozzle should
always be cleaned with a damp cloth.
9. Cleaning and maintenance
By cleaning the machine thoroughly you can extend the
operating life of the appliance and maintain the high quality
of the coffee it prepares.
9.1 Emptying the grounds container
The system may cause the “Empty grounds container” warn-
ing lamp ( ) to light up briefly. When it lights up constantly,
the grounds container must be emptied. Hygienic reasons
make it advisable to empty the container once a day.
●Move the adjustable coffee spout to its uppermost position
to avoid damaging the spout when removing the residual
water container.
●Take the residual water container out of the machine
(Fig. 7). Be careful as there is water in the container.
●Remove the grounds container and dispose of the grounds.
●Clean and replace the grounds and water containers. The
red warning lamp ( ) goes out.
9.2 Emptying the residual water container
As soon as the residual water indicator (red float) appears
above the drip tray cover, it is necessary to empty the residual
water container.

9.7 Cleaning
To ensure that the coffee you brew with your JURA Subito is
top-quality at all times, JURA recommends that you clean
your coffee-maker with a JURA cleaning tablet approximately
after one month or after you have made about 200 cups of
coffee.
The cleaning tablet is available from your dealer.
Carry out the cleaning operation by exactly following the
steps described on the following page.
1. Empty the containers for residual water and coffee
grounds and replace.
2. Drop the Jura cleaning tablet into the filler funnel (Fig. 1),
turn the lever to the brewing position and push down
(Fig. 3).

11
3. Set the selector switch to the «Coffee» position (Fig. 4).
4. Switch the pump on (Fig. 4), let approx. 100 ml run out
through coffee outlet and switch the pump off again. Wait
for 2 minutes.
5. Repeat step 4 five times.
6. Turn the cover to the cleaning position and remove
(Fig. 9). Rinse well.
7. Turn on the pump switch. Switch off again after 1 minute.
8. Clean the top with a brush or a damp cloth (Fig. 11).
9. Fit the cover and turn into the coffee-brewing position.
Then lower the lever twice with the release lever pulled
out (Fig. 3) and lift again (Fig. 5).
10. Turn the cover to the filling position.
11. Empty the containers for residual water and coffee
grounds and replace.
10. Descaling
To keep your machine functioning correctly, it must be
periodically descaled. How often this must be done depends
on the hardness of the water. You can find out how hard your
water is by asking the local water board. In the case of hard
water (approx. 20° dH), we recommend that you descale the
machine every three months. For decalcification purposes
we recommend use of the Jura decalcifying tablet. These are
available from your local dealer.
Note: The machine must be descaled if there is a notice-
able reduction in coffee flow and/or the tempera-
ture of the coffee decreases.
Important: The Jura decalcifying tablet was specially designed
for Jura devices and in particular for the decalci-
fication cycle. You can therefore be sure of opti-
mum results.
