1 Preparing and using for the first time
1 Preparing and using for the first time
Visit us on the Internet. You can download short operating instruc-
tions for your machine from the JURA website (www.jura.com). You
will also find interesting and up-to-date information on your Z6 and
on every aspect of coffee.
When setting up your Z6, please note the following:
UPlace the Z6 on a horizontal surface that is not sensitive to
water.
UChoose a spot for your Z6 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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 and close the
aroma preservation 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 Z6 with or without the CLEARYL Smart filter
cartridge. If the water hardness is 10°dH or more, we recommend
using the filter cartridge.
If the machine is operated with a defective power cord, there is a
danger of potentially fatal electric shock.

filter cartridge activation’).
Operation without filter cartridge (see Chapter 1 ‘Preparing and

Your Z6 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 vacuum milk container.
TConnect the milk pipe to the dual spout.
TConnect the other end of the milk pipe to a milk container
or immerse it in a milk carton.
Daily maintenance of the machine and hygiene when handling milk,
coffee and water are key to a perfect coffee result in the cup every
time. You should therefore change the water daily.
Milk, sparkling mineral water or other liquids can damage the water
tank or the machine.
T Only fill the water tank with fresh, cold water.
TRemove the water tank and rinse it with cold water.

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.
EYou can stop the machine at any time while a specialty
coffee or hot water is being prepared. To do this, press the
‘’ button.
EDuring the grinding operation you can select the coffee
strength of single products by turning the Rotary Switch.
EDuring preparation, you can change the preset amounts (e.g.
amount of water or milk foam) by turning the Rotary Switch.
EYou can follow the current status of preparation on the display.
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’).
The Z6 offers various ways of preparing a specialty coffee, milk or
hot water:
UPreparation using the start screen: Simply press the
corresponding preparation button for the product shown on
the display (start screen) that you want.

selector view.
EYou can move any of the standard products programd in your
Z6 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 personalizing’). Please note that the
descriptions provided in the following sections always refer to

2 Preparation
E15 minutes after preparation, the milk system is automatically
rinsed (see Chapter 5 ‘Maintenance – Automatic milk system
rinsin’). Therefore always place a receptacle under the dual
spout after preparing milk.
To ensure that the milk system in the dual spout always works
properly, you must clean it daily (see Chapter 5 ‘Maintenance –
Cleaning the milk system’).
You can choose to use a second coffee variety, for example decaf-
feinated 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 Z6 stops the operation.
EThe desired specialty coffee must be prepared within
approximately one minute after filling with the ground coffee.
Otherwise the Z6 stops the operation and is once more ready
for use.
All specialty coffees with ground coffee are always prepared follow-
ing the same model.
Example:Proceed as follows to prepare one espresso using ground
coffee.

You can adjust the grinder on a continuous scale to suit the degree
of roast of your coffee.
If you adjust the consistency of grind when the grinder is not
operating, the grinder adjustment switch could be damaged.
T Only adjust the consistency of grind when the grinder is
