Operating instructions

into the machine (Fig. 23). The display shows SELECT
PRODUCT and you may now continue brewing coffee.
19c. FILL BEANS
When the display shows FILL BEANS, open the bean container
lid and add beans (Fig. 6).
Please note: The message FILL BEANS will disappear
after
making the next cup of coffee.
Attention: If the display shows FILL BEANS and there are
ample beans in the bean container, stir the beans so they flow
into the grinder (chapter 8).
We recommend cleaning the bean container from time to time
with a dry cloth before you refill beans (please make sure the
machine is turned off when cleaning.)
19d. STONES AND BEANS
Every coffee specialty store will tell you that occasionally stones
can be found in with coffee beans. Small stones will be
processed through the burr grinder without any harm (the stone
will end up in the used coffee container).
However larger stones can block the burr grinder. The noise of
the grinder will become very loud and the grinder will block.
Before Filling Beans into the Bean Container:
• Shake your bean bag thoroughly so that a stone will fall to
the bottom of the bag.
• Before emptying the bean bag completely, check if there
are any particles that look like stones and remove them.
19e. GENERAL CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Never use abrasive materials or chemicals to clean the machine.
• Clean the housing with a soft, damp cloth.
• Rinse water tank daily and fill with fresh, cold water.
19f. EMPTYING SYSTEM BEFORE TRANSPORT
This procedure is necessary to prevent water and frost damage
in case you intend to transport your Impressa F9.
• Turn machine off.
• Place a cup underneath the frother.
• Push and hold the Steam Button until the display shows:
SYSTEM EMPTYING. The machine will push a bit of water
and steam into the cup underneath the frother. After about 30
seconds it will turn off automatically.
Important: The next time you turn the machine on you must
follow the instructions in chapter 6.
Please note: Before transporting the machine, make sure that
the water tank is empty, the filter cartridge is removed (discard
and use a new cartridge), the bean container is empty, the
drawer and used coffee container are empty and clean.
Secure the lids of the water tank and the bean container with
scotch tape. Pack entire machine with thick cushioning material
on all sides to prevent damage.
20. AUTOMATIC CLEANING CYCLES
20a. CLEANING WITH SPECIAL TABLET
The machine monitors how many coffees are brewed and how
often the rinsing program is activated. After approx. 200 coffees
the display will show CLEAN MACHINE SELECT PRODUCT.
Please note: You can continue to make coffee, however we
highly recommend that you clean the machine as described
below within the next few days. This cleaning program will
remove oil build-ups in the brewing chamber.
