2. Set up
2.1 Preparing the machine
➔ Carefully remove the machine
and all parts from the packaging.
Note: If you need to return your
machine for servicing, it can be
sent by post in the original packag-
ing. Please keep all packaging and
protective material for this pur-
pose.
➔ Remove the water reservoir (fig.
1/C and 2) and wash it out with
clean, cold tap water.
➔ Then fill the reservoir up to the
“max.” mark and replace it in the
machine. Make sure that it clicks
into place.
Note: Only ever fill the reservoir
with fresh, cold water. Do not use
carbonated water or other liquids!
➔ Open the lid of the coffee con-
tainer (fig. 1/A) and fill it with
coffee beans.
Note: Do not use beans which
have been treated with supple-
ments, such as sugar, during or
after the roasting. Supplements
can damage the grinding mecha-
nism and any repair costs arising
as a result are not covered by the
guarantee.
Please make sure the steam / hot
water valve control knob (fig. 1/P
and 5) is turned to ‘0’!
2.2 Getting started
➔ Plug the machine in.
➔ Press the On / Off button (fig.
1/E). In the display light up the
symbols , and one after
another (otherwise, please see
the following Note below).
➔ After a short time the steam /
rinse button ‘S’ (fig. 1/O) light
flashes.
➔ Place a cup under the height-
adjustable coffee spout (fig. 1/I
and 3) and press the steam / rinse
button ‘S’ (fig. 1/O).
➔ The system is then filled with
water and completely rinsed out via
the coffee spout. This operation
must always be carried out when
the machine is started from cold
to preserve the aroma of the cof-
fee. It ensures that no stale water
or coffee left over from previous
brews is used.
➔ All four operating buttons
(fig. 1/F, G, H, O) then light up,
and the selected coffee strength
is shown in the display by the
corresponding number of beans.
➔ The machine is now operational.

40
Note: As a protective measure, the
pipes are not filled with water when
the machine is first operated. The
machine indicates this as follows:
➔ When the machine has been
turned on with the On / Off button
(fig. 1/E), Symbol .
➔ Place a cup under the steam /
hot water jet (fig. 1/R).
➔ Turn the steam / hot water valve
control knob (fig. 1/P and 5) to
the right to open the valve. The
system then fills up and some
water may come out of the jet (fig.
1/R).
➔ As soon as the symbol
lights up without flashing and the
filling operation has stopped auto-
matically, you can turn the valve
control knob (fig. 1/P and 5) back
again to close it.
➔ Then follow the steps in ‘2.2
Getting started’.
➔ The machine is now operational.
2.3 Grinder settings
Caution: Grinder settings can only
be adjusted when the grinder is in
operation. You can adjust the grin-
der settings to suit the roast of
your coffee beans. We recommend
that you leave the grinder on a
medium setting.
➔ Slide the regulator on the rear
side (fig. 1/Q) into the desired
position while the grinder is runn-
ing. The smaller the dot, the finer
the coffee is ground. Remember:
· a light roast requires a finer
grind
· a dark roast requires a coarser
grind
Try out the different settings to
find the one that best meets your
personal preferences.
... 2. Set up

41
3. Making coffee
Note: The machine is preset for
immediate use. However, we re-
commend that first you adjust the
most important settings to suit your
personal needs. Please follow the
instructions in chapter 4 (Programm-
ing functions) for filter, temperature
and water hardness settings.
Note: When the machine is brand
new or has not been used for an
extended period, the first cup of
coffee does not have the full aroma
and should not be drunk.
3.1 Selecting coffee strength
There are three levels of coffee
strength. They are shown in the
display as follows:
MILD, Symbol uses about 7g
of ground coffee e.g. for cafe latte
or cappuccino
NORMAL, Symbol uses about
9g of ground coffee e.g. for
American coffee
STRONG, Symbol uses about
11g of ground coffee e.g. for
espresso or very strong coffee.
➔ As soon as the machine is
operational, the display shows the
default setting (Symbol ).
➔ You can change this by pressing
coffee strength button (fig. 1/F)
until the desired coffee strength
appears in the display (fig. 1/B).
3.2 Select water quantity
You can freely select the quantity
of water used by turning the water
quantity control knob (fig. 1/D and
4). The little cup bottom left re-
presents less water, the large cup
bottom right represents more water.
Tip: The water quantity can be ad-
justed while the machine is runn-
ing. Try out various cup sizes and
quantities to find the setting that
best suits your personal preferences.
3.3 Making one cup
➔ Place your cup under the coffee
spout (fig. 1/I and 3). The coffee
spout is height-adjustable and can
be raised or lowered to suit the

as described in 3.2.
➔ Press the coffee strength button
(fig. 1/F) until the desired coffee
strength appears.
➔ Press the 1-cup button (fig. 1/G).
➔ The machine now starts the
grinding, pre-brewing and brewing
operation. It can be stopped at
any time by pushing any button.
Caution: The first time you brew
coffee, the grinding chamber is
still empty. The symbol for ‘not

42
enough beans’ (Symbol ) may
therefore start to flash after the
first grinding and no coffee is pro-
duced. If this occurs, press the
1-cup button (fig. 1/G) a second
time and the operation is repeated.
Tip: To determine the ideal quantity
of water for your taste or cup size,
make your first cup of coffee as
follows:
➔ Turn the water quantity control
knob (fig. 1/D and 4) to one of the
following positions:
· middle for an espresso cup,
· far right for a large cup.
➔ Press the 1-cup button (fig. 1/G).
➔ The machine starts brewing.
➔ Shortly before the desired

3.4 Making two cups of coffee
In the 2-cup operation, two cups of
coffee are produced consecutively.
➔ Place both cups under the coffee
spout (fig. 1/I and 3).
➔ Select the desired water quantity
and coffee strength settings for
one cup (fig. 1/D and 1/F).
➔Press the 2-cup button (fig. 1/H).
➔ The machine now starts the
grinding, pre-brewing and brewing
operations and produces two con-
secutive cups of coffee.
Tips:
· Brewing can be stopped at any
point by pressing any button.
· If the water or beans supply runs
out or the trays need emptying be-
tween brewing the first cup and
the second, the appropriate symbol
will appear in the display (Symbol

automatically ask to be rinsed out
a minute after the lid is closed.
Press the flashing rinse button (fig.
1/O) to confirm, and the machine
will be rinsed out via the coffee
spout. It is then operational again.
Caution: The pre-ground coffee
chamber is not a storage container.
Never add more than one measure
at a time to the chamber, and use
only fresh grinded or vacuum-
packed coffee ground. Do not use
instant coffee powder.
3.6 Drawing hot water
➔ Hold a cup under the steam / hot
water jet (fig. 1/R).
➔ Turn the steam / hot water valve
control knob (fig. 1/P and 5) to
the right. Fill the cup up to the
desired level and turn the valve
control knob back to ‘0’.

4.1 Filter
Inserting filter
You can purchase a special filter
for the water reservoir in specialist
shops. If you use this filter cor-
rectly, you will not need to descale
your coffee machine as often.
After the filter was inserted, please
adjust the water hardness setting
on level 1 (see chapter 4.2).
➔ Empty the water tank (fig. 1/C
and 2).
➔ Set the insertion and replace-
ment date on the date ring (months)
at the top end of the filter cartridge.
➔ Screw the filter into the bracket
provided in the water reservoir using
the assembly tool on the end of
the measuring spoon (fig. 6).

4. Programming functions
automatically switch the operation
off. You can prolong the operation
by turning the control knob back
and forth (fig. 1/P and 5).
Caution: It is hard to remove dried
milk left on the jet after frothing.
Please therefore clean the equip-
ment as soon as it has cooled
down!
· To froth milk, the metal pipe of
the steam jet must be in the
lowest position.
· It is difficult to remove dried
milk left on the jet after frothing.
Therefore clean the equipment
as soon as it has cooled down –
ideally repeat the steam drawing
operation with a cup filled with
fresh, cold water.

45
➔ Wait until no more water comes
out of the jet and turn the valve
control knob (fig. 1/P and 5) back
to the left to close.
➔ The system can briefly heat up
and is then operational again.
Note: Make sure to remove the
filter when the expiry date set on
the date ring is reached. Also
make sure to take the filter out
the machine for descaling when
instructed to do so (see 5.3).
Operating without a filter
If you no longer wish to use the
filter, do not forget to adjust the
water hardness settings.
Important: Please note that the
following programs can only be set
if the mashine is switched to ON.
You can program the following
settings: water hardness, tempera-
ture level, automatic switch off,
ECO-mode.
4.2 Water hardness
According to the water hardness in
your region, or if you have not
inserted a filter (see chapter 4.1),
sooner or later the machine needs
descaling. So that the system can
indicate accurately when descal-
ing is necessary, you must enter
the correct water hardness sett-
ings before first use.
The default setting is level 3.
First, test your water with the test
strips provided:
➔ Dip the strip into the water and
then shake it lightly off.
➔ After about a minute you can
read the result by counting the red
dots on the test strip.
➔ The settings corresponding to
the different levels of hardness are
as follows:
... 4. Programming functions
