Unpacking and setting up
>Unpack coffee machine and set it up on a stable, horizontal surface
You must protect a sensitive installation surface against damage using a waterproof,
heat-resistant, non-slip mat.
Regularly check the coffee machine and keep the installation surface dry.
If liquid leaks regularly, this is a machine malfunction that must be checked immediately.
Always follow the safety instructions in the “Safety” chapter, starting on page 60.
Inspect the coffee machine for possible shipping damage
>

>
Place the drip tray in the machine>
Test the water hardness
Briefly dip a carbonate hardness test strip into water (approx. 1 second)>
One minute later, read the degree of hardness on the colour scale of the test strip package>
The water hardness is set during start-up.
Prepare the water tank
>Lift the water tank slightly and remove from the coffee machine
Remove all accessories from the water tank
>
Rinse the water tank thoroughly with clear water>
Insert the WMF water filter

Start-up program
Install the milk hose
The milk hose is already mounted on the All-in-One spout.
For refrigerated milk, use the brown milk nozzle (installed on delivery)•
For non-refrigerated milk, use the transparent milk nozzle from the accessories box•
The nozzle fits very tightly in the hose. The easiest way to remove it is to pull while twisting.
Remove the coffee grounds container
>
Move the All-in-One spout to the lowest position>[6]
Insert the milk hose into the guide
>[7] [8]
The milk hose must be in the lowest position without tension and must not run in front of the grounds
container.
Connect the milk hose to the milk
Place the refrigerated milk directly to the left of the machine>
Place the milk hose with the milk nozzle on it into the milk container>
The hose end with the milk nozzle should reach the bottom of the milk container.
Milk is a very sensitive food. When handling milk, always ensure cleanliness. Only open packs
with clean hands and utensils. Take care that no bacteria can be introduced into the milk.

Fill the coffee bean hopper
>Open the lid of the bean hopper
Pour in the coffee beans (max. 320 g)
>
Close the lid>
Once roasted coffee beans have been unpacked, they lose their aromatic components within
days.
Therefore, only pour as many beans into the coffee bean hopper as you expect to use in the
next few days; frequent topping off is better.
Ensure that no foreign bodies land in the coffee bean hopper. Such foreign bodies can
damage the grinders of the coffee mill. This damage is not covered under the warranty.
Do not reach into the bean opening of the mill.
Each coffee machine is thoroughly tested before shipment. Therefore, coffee grounds
residue may remain in the grinder. Your coffee machine is not used.

Switching on and off
When switching the machine on and off, an automatic coffee system rinse starts
automatically. This requires that sufficient water be in the tank at all times. Empty the drip
tray regularly, since the rinse water (approx. 120 ml) runs into the drip tray through the
All-in-One spout. You can place a container under the All-in-One spout to catch the rinse
water.
About the timer: Switching on and off
The coffee machine automatically switches itself off at a pre-set time. In this circumstance
also, the machine performs a coffee system rinse directly before switching off.
Empty the drip tray regularly, since the rinse water (approx. 120 ml) runs into the drip tray
