1.0 Safety instructions
Children do not understand how danger-
ous electrical appliances can be. For that
reason, children should never be allowed
around electrical appliances without
supervision.
Do not use the appliance without first
studying the user manual or being shown
how to operate it.
Never use an appliance with a faulty
cord. When using an extension cord,
this must also be in perfect condition.
Place extension cords in such a way
that tripping over it is not possible.
Keep children and domestic animals
away from the appliance.
In the case of damage, the appliance
must only be opened by an authorized
service technician and repaired with
original spare parts and accessories. If
not the manufacturer declines all liability.
This also applies to damaged cords
since special tools are required.
Do not immerse the appliance in water
and do not use the appliance with wet
hands.
The appliance should not be left
switched on without supervision.
For safety and energy-saving reasons
we recommend that the appliance be
switched off over-night and during
absences (for short absences, the
appliance can be switched to stand-by
mode with the operating switch ). For
appliances connected to the water
supply, the water tap must be closed.
The socket to which the appliance is
connected must be earthed. For your
safety, we recommend the use of an
earth leakage safety adapter (available
from your electrical store).
Place the appliance on a firm, level
surface. The surface must not be warm
or hot. Choose a position, which is out
of reach of children and pets.

SOLIS MASTER TOP Operating Instructions
3.0 Starting up/Before using for
the first time
3.1 Fill the water container with cold
water (max. 2.4 liters). Insert it in the
appliance from the front and press home
firmly so that the valve at the back
opens.
Note: Use only fresh cold water to fill
the container. Do not use mineral water,
milk or any other liquid.
3.2 Pull the required length of cord
out from the back of the appliance.
Leave the rest in the special cable
compartment. Connect the appliance
to an earthed socket. Close the cable
compartment with the cover.
3.3 Make sure that the hot water/
steam knob is in the steam position
to ensure that automatic venting can
occur after switching on the appliance.
3.4 Turn the main switch O–I ON. The
appliance is now switched on but in
the stand-by mode.
3.5 Press the operating switch .
The appropriate indicator (1a) is lit and
the appliance heats up. At the same
time, the water pump starts to operate
and fills the system with water and
the appliance is vented automatically.
3.6 As soon as the automatic venting
is completed (water pump stops operat-
ing), close the hot water/steam knob
again. Note: the automatic venting func-
tions only provided the hot water/steam
knob is turned to the steam position. If
this is not the case, the knob must be
turned to the steam position.
3.7 Fill the bean container with beans
(max. 320 g). Close the bean container
with the cover. Note: Only pure coffee
beans may be used. Coffee with a
caramelized or aromatized content must
not be used. If the control indicator
flashes, the cover is not properly closed
and the appliance will not operate.

Operating Instructions
3.8 The appliance is ready to operate
only when the green temperature indica-
tor is lit. Note: When operating the
appliance an automatic rinsing of the
brewing unit takes place. The rinsing
operation takes place whenever the
appliance is switched on from cold.
During the rinsing operation (indicated
with the control indicator (14),
the appliance cannot make coffee.
3.9 Press selector key 2 and the first
coffee will be produced. The first cup of
coffee after initially operating the unit
is not fit for consumption since the
grinder must first be filled. Please only
consume the subsequent cups of coffee.
Important:
Never operate the appliance without
water. For reasons of hygiene, we
recommend to rinse the unit after any
long period of non-use (e.g. after holi-
days). For this purpose, place a large
container under the hot water nozzle
and turn the knob to the hot water
position. Allow approx. 2 dl of water to
flow and close the knob again. This
operation is also necessary if the
water reservoir has not been properly
inserted and the indicator is lit.
4.0 Making coffee with beans
It is assumed that the appliance is ready
to operate in accordance with point 3.0
Starting up, i.e. the reservoir is filled with
water, the bean container is filled with
beans and the temperature indicator
shows green.
4.1 When the appliance is ready to
operate, place 1 or 2 cups on the drip
tray and press the appropriate switch.
By pressing the espresso (8) or café
crème (2) key once or twice, one respec-
tively two cups will be produced. The
SOLIS MASTER TOP is equipped with
an automatic pre-brewing system. The
ground coffee is pre-wet, the flow of
water is briefly stopped and only then
will the actual brewing operation start.
Note: You have the possibility to stop
the brewing operation any time by briefly
pressing the appropriate selector key.
With the SOLIS MASTER TOP you also
have the option to use very large cups or
even tall glasses. Simply push back the
coffee delivery system (Do not forget to
position the coffee delivery system in the
normal position again).

SOLIS MASTER TOP Operating Instructions
5.0 Making coffee with ground coffee
(2nd type of coffee)

2 cups). The brewing cycle will be com-
pleted automatically.
Note: If after pressing the selector key
for ground coffee no additional selector
key is pressed within approx. 2 minutes,
the yellow control indicator for ground
coffee will be switched off. In this case,
again press the selector key for ground
coffee as well as the appropriate selector
key.
Important: Never use water-soluble,
freeze-dried instant coffee or similar
products. Use only pure ground coffee
beans without additives. Never put
more than 1 or 2 level measuring
spoons of ground coffee in the funnel
at a time. This is not a storage container
and the ground coffee must be used at
once.
