A WORD ABOUT "CREMA COFFEE" According to the majority of coffee experts, grinding, tamping and brewing under high pressure is the ideal extracting process for maximum flavor and aroma.
4. PLEASE, DON’T... (or you void your warranty protection): • Never fill instant coffee into the grinder or ground coffee funnel; it can damage the functioning of the brewing chamber. • Never fill sugar coated coffee beans into the bean container. • Never fill frozen beans into the bean container. If you store beans in the freezer, let them thaw for 3 to 4 hours before filling them into the bean container.
The following procedure is only necessary when setting up the machine for the first time and after the procedure "Emptying System Before Transport" (chapter 19f ). FILL SYSTEM WATER PORTION The red light in the Hot Water Button (Fig. 4a) illuminates. • Place a cup underneath the frother (Fig. 15) and push the Hot Water Button.

• Open the lid of the bean container (Fig. 1.9). • To adjust grinding turn the selector switch to the desired position (Fig. 7). The smaller the dots, the finer the grind. The bigger the dots, the coarser the grind. Important: The grinding grade can only be adjusted while the grinder is actually grinding. Attention: Oily beans tend to stick together. Stir beans just before grinding to ensure a proper flow of beans into the burrs. 9.
11. USING PRE-GROUND COFFEE You can also use pre-ground coffee, bypassing the grinder. This comes in handy if someone requests decaf, sugar coated or flavored coffee. • Push the Pre-Ground Coffee Button (Fig. 3f). The display shows: FILL POWDER SELECT PRODUCT. • Open the lid for the ground coffee funnel (Fig. 1.8) and fill the funnel with one or two scoops of ground coffee.

again and you will have another 60 seconds of steam. You can also change the steam output to a shorter interval (chapter 18e). Tips for frothing (Cappuccino): Start in the steaming position (cylinder "up") for 10 to 20 seconds. This way your milk will be warmed up first. Then push the cylinder "down". Milk froth will build up. This way the froth on top of your milk is also warm. If the frothed milk is not warm enough, continue in the steaming position.
machines. The Claris cartridge: • Reduces the water hardness up to 75%. • Removes (if present) up to 85% chlorine, up to 90% lead, up to 95% copper and up to 67% aluminum. • Cleans the water through an upward current principle (Fig. 9) just before the brewing cycle starts, ensuring freshly filtered water every time you make coffee. • Eliminates decalcifying. When using the Claris water cartridge, you never need to decalcify your machine.
Dispose it with your regular household trash. • Make sure the water tank is empty. • Remove cartridge from its bag. • Open water container lid and pull up the holder for the Claris cartridge (Fig.10). • Insert the cartridge with its tapered end down. Make sure it fits snugly over the white mesh piece inside the water container. Push down gently (Fig.11). • Close the holder for the cartridge so that it engages in the water tank (Fig.12). • Fill the water tank with fresh cold water and replace.
Important: If you choose the selection "–" the water hardness monitor is turned off. In this case the machine will NOT remind you when it is time to decalcify. Turning off the monitor requires you to use distilled water only or the Claris Filter (chapter 16a). If you use regular or bottled water the machine will build up calcium. If calcium build-up inside the machine is not removed, it can lead to a complete machine break down. 18.

When using very oily beans pour the beans onto a plate and let some of the sticky oils evaporate (this will not harm the aroma of the coffee). Reason: You used ground coffee in the ground coffee funnel. The ground coffee was too fine. Solution: Use ground coffee which is ground somewhat coarser. Reason: No water is transported through the system. Solution: Remove water container and make sure that the connecting valve is free of any particles (like a coffee bean etc).
