2.2. The most important controls
Your NIVONA coffee maker offers a variety of options to brew coffee according to your individual
needs. The main controls and how to use them are identical for most of the coffee specialities.
• Rotary-Push-Turn-Switch (short: rotary control) (g. 1/B): By turning the rotary control the set
value is altered. By pressing the rotary control the set value is conrmed.

one menu level. A coffee making process that has been started can be cancelled by pushing the
exit button.
• Height adjustable spout (g. 1/E): The spout can be adjusted to the height of your cups and
glasses by pushing it up or down.
2.3. Filling with water and beans
➔Open the cover on the left (g. 1/F) and remove the water tank (g. 2). Clean it with clear, cold
tap water.
➔Rell the water tank to maximum and insert it back in the appliance. Make sure the tank is safely
locked in place.
Attention: Only use clear, cold water for the water tank! Never use sparkling water or any other liquids!
Non-compliance will render warranty claims void.
➔Firstly open the appliance cover on the right (g. 1/G) and then the bean container’s cover (g. 3).
➔Fill with untreated, roasted coffee beans only.
➔Close both covers again.
Attention: Never use beans that have been treated during or after roasting with supplements like sugar
or similar. This may cause damages to the mill. Resulting repairs are not covered by the warranty.
2.4. Switching appliance on and performing initial start
➔Switch the appliance on with the on/off switch (g. 1/H).
Please set the following basic settings before you start brewing your rst coffee:
Setting the language
➔Turn the rotary control to select your language.
➔Press the rotary control to conrm your setting.
The display will now ask “INSERT FILTER?”
2.4.1. Using the appliance with lter
Included in the box contents is a Claris lter. When using this lter, the appliance needs to be
descaled less frequently as it softens the water.
➔Turn the rotary control to “INSERT FILTER? YES” for the appliance to recognize that a lter is in
use.
➔Press the rotary control. The display shows “INSERT FILTER”.
➔Empty the water tank (g. 1/F and 2) and carefully screw the lter into the respective slot in the
water tank, using the integrated tool at the end of the measuring spoon (g. 4).
Attention: Do not overtighten or break.
➔Fill the tank with fresh water and insert it back into the appliance.
➔Place a sufciently large bowl (minimum contents 0.5 l) under the spout (g. 1/E) and press the
rotary control.
The system is now being ushed. The display shows “FILTER FLUSHES”.
➔Wait until no more water emerges from the spout.

04_Niv_859_BDA_sw_GB_03.indd 69 13.04.17 15:42

Followed by “PLEASE Flush”.
➔Press the rotary control.
The display shows “SYSTEM FLUSHES”.
Once the system has reached operating temperature, the main menu will appear in the display to
show that the appliance is ready for use.
The rst cup: When you prepare your rst cup of coffee the grinder will be empty. It is possible that
after the initial grinding the display will show “REFILL BEANS” and no coffee is produced.
➔In case that happens, please follow the display’s instruction and press the rotary control again.
The process will then be repeated.
Note: If you are using a lter and programmed the system to “FILTER INSERTED? YES”, the internal
water softening is automatically set to water hardness level 1! The appliance needs descaling less
frequently – but always descale when asked to do so and always with FILTER REMOVED. The lter will
be at after approx. 50 l of water have been drawn (changing lter see chapter 3.1).
Attention: Even if the display does not indicate “PLEASE CHANGE FILTER“, the lter needs changing after
a maximum of two months if the appliance is not used regularly (see chapter 5.8.).
2.4.2. Using the appliance without lter
If you prefer to use the appliance without lter, the lter setting “FILTER INSERTED? NO” needs
to be set. This is important because depending on the water hardness the appliance needs to be
descaled more often (ex-factory the appliance comes with the setting “FILTER INSERTED? NO”!).
➔Turn the rotary control to “FILTER INSERTED? NO”.
➔Press rotary control to conrm.
The display shows the level of water hardness.
Note: For production reasons the internal pipes may be empty when setting the appliance up for the
rst time. The appliance will show this as follows: on the display it says „PLEASE FILL”, once the appli-
ance has been switched on with the On/Off switch (g. 1/H).
➔Place a sufciently large bowl (minimum contents 0.5 l) under the spout.
➔Press rotary control.
The system is being lled with water which may emerge from the spout (g. 1/E).
Once the system has reached production temperature, the display shows “PLEASE RINSE”.
➔Press rotary control.
The system is now being lled with water.
2.4.3. Adjusting the water hardness
Depending on the water hardness in your area, the appliance needs to be descaled every now and
again. For the system to be able to indicate that this is necessary, you need to set the correct water
hardness prior to rst use.
Level 3 is the ex-factory pre-set level.
First test the water quality with the enclosed test strip:
➔Dip the test strip into the water and shake it lightly.
➔After about one minute you will be able to read the result by counting the red dots on the test strip.
➔The different levels are listed as follows and can be adjusted:
Test strip / Degree of hardness = Display
1 red dot / 1–7° = LEVEL 1
2 red dots / 8–14° = LEVEL 2
3 red dots / 15–21° = LEVEL 3
4 red dots / >21° = LEVEL 4

Once the appliance is ready for use the main menu is shown on the display.
The rst cup: When you prepare your rst cup of coffee the grinder will be empty. It is possible that
after the initial grinding the display will show “REFILL BEANS”, and no coffee is produced.
➔Follow the display and press the rotary control again.
The process will then be repeated.
2.5. Switching the appliance on during operation
When you have started the appliance for the rst time (g. 2.4), proceed as follows for all other start-ups:

4. Preparing coffee varieties
Your NIVONA appliance offers a variety of options to prepare coffee according to your individual
taste. The most important control elements and their basic functions are generally identical:
• Rotary control (g. 1/B): By turning the rotary control the setting is changed. Pressing the rotary
control conrms the chosen setting.
• Button >(g. 1/C): By pressing the button > you will move forward to the next menu item.
• Exit button (g. 1/D): By pressing the exit button you will leave the menu and go back one menu
item. If a drink is already being prepared, the process will be stopped.
• Height adjustable spout (g. 1/B): By pushing it up or down you can adjust the drain to the height
of your cups or glasses.
The selected coffee variety is shown in the display with a symbol and in cleartext, e.g. “ESPRESSO”.
➔By turning the rotary control you select the required coffee variety.
Note: The display shows the chosen coffee variety’s current settings below the bar in the bottom line.
Each coffee variety can be made in two separate ways:
a) Either you change the personal setting for each coffee individually as outlined in 4.1. In this case
the standard settings are preserved.
b) Or you adopt the standard settings from “DRINKS RECIPES” in the “SETTINGS” menu. Pre-
settings have been recorded ex-factory; outlined from 4.2. to 4.5. you can adjust them in line with
your personal preference.
The rst cup: When making your rst coffee, the grinder box is still empty. It can therefore happen
that the display will show “FILL BEANS” after the rst grinding and the appliance will not make any
coffee.
➔Follow the instructions on the display and press the rotary control again.
The process will be repeated.
