First steps to use Touch controls Turning on Select a touch control with your fingertip to use the machine. ^ Select "On/Off" to turn the coffee system on. Display The display shows the clock. See "Settings - Clock - Setting the time of day" to set the time. To select a menu, select the touch control next to the respective menu point. If more features can be selected under one menu point, the menu has three dots (e.g. "Settings...").
Filling water, beans or ground coffee Before using the coffee system for the first time, clean the appliance. See "Cleaning and Care". Filling the water tank The beans and the water quality is important for a good espresso or coffee. The water tank must be washed and filled with fresh cold drinking water before each day of use. The unit displays a reminder when turned on. ^ Open the appliance door by holding the grip next to the hot water spout and pulling the door towards you.
Filling water, beans or ground coffee Filling the beans container Only fill espresso or coffee beans in the beans container. Anything else including ground coffee - will damage the grinding unit. Caramelized or otherwise pre-treated beans or sugar containing beverages must not be filled into the appliance. It will damage the coffee system. Filling ground coffee A funnel for ground coffee is provided in case you would like to prepare a different coffee type, e.g. decaffeinated coffee.
Making coffee Turning on The lines must be rinsed daily before the first use. This will happen automatically if "Rinse automatic" is set to "On" (see "Settings - Rinse Automatic") and the machine is cold. After heating, hot water runs out of the two spouts into the drip tray. If "Rinse automatic" was set to "Off", use "Care" to rinse the lines. See "Cleaning and Care - Rinse". ^ Select the "On/Off" touch control. A reminder to fill the water tank with fresh water is displayed.
Making coffee Prewarming cups Adjust the dispenser height All beverages should be made in a warm cup, to develop the aroma. The smaller the amount of coffee or espresso and the thicker the cups, the more important it is to prewarm the cups. Depending on the cup height, the coffee dispensers can be adjusted so that the coffee and espresso have a shorter distance to the cup, do not cool and have a better crema. ^ Set the cup under the hot water spout.
Making coffee Espresso and coffee made from coffee beans ^ Set a cup under the coffee dispenser. The drink is dispensed through both dispensers at the same time. ^ Select "Espresso" or "Coffee". The machine grinds the beans and pre-brews the coffee (if "On" is selected under "Pre-brewing"). The selected beverage is dispensed. Preparing two cups at the same time ^ Set a cup under each coffee dispenser. ^ Select "Espresso" or "Coffee". ^ Select "2 portions" when displayed.
Making coffee Espresso and coffee made from ground coffee After filling the funnel with ground coffee (see "Filling water, beans or ground coffee - Filling ground coffee"), the display shows: i Did you fill ground coffee and do you want to prepare it? + No Yes ~ ^ Select "Yes". Select "No" if no ground coffee is filled in the funnel. Otherwise the coffee system assumes that ground coffee is in the machine and dispenses only water next time coffee is made. ^ Set a cup under the coffee dispenser.
Making coffee Cappuccino and milk froth When using for the first time or using after descaling The lines were completely drained before the unit left the factory. They will also be drained when the machine is descaled. Before preparing cappuccino or froth, the lines must be filled with water. ^ Set a cup under the cappuccino dispenser. ^ Select the "Milk froth" touch control. The intake hose takes in water from the tank and fills the lines with water.
Making coffee Cappuccino Milk froth To prepare a cappuccino you need a large ceramic or porcelain cup and a small mug (supplied) of milk. If you need additional milk froth, prepare cold skim milk in a stainless steel mug which narrows towards the top. The best milk froth is achieved with cold skim milk. Only one cup of cappuccino can be prepared at a time because of the milk frothing process.
Adjusting the coffee grinder The amount of ground coffee determines the strength of the coffee and the quality of the crema. To adjust the grinder setting The amount of ground coffee can be adjusted in the main menu. See "Settings - Grind amount". To prevent machine damage adjust the coffee grinder one notch at a time and let the beans grind before adjusting another notch. Otherwise the machine will be damaged. ^ Push the slide control to the left for a finer grind or to the right for a coarser grind.

Settings Grind amount Pre-brewing The grind amount can be set, depending on the coffee type, between 0.2 ounces and 0.5 ounces (6 - 14 grams). The more the coffee is ground the stronger the espresso, coffee or cappuccino will be. During pre-brewing a small amount of water is released onto the ground coffee. After a short time the remaining water is pushed through the ground coffee at a high pressure. The crema is also influenced by the grind amount.
Settings Temperature Rinse automatic Five temperatures are available for each beverage, three for hot water. Maximum is the highest temperature, minimum the lowest. It is important to flush out any residual coffee from the lines when starting to use the machine for the day. If "Automatic Rinsing" is set to "on", the rinsing starts automatically once the machine is turned on and still cold. The lines are rinsed with hot water and in return prewarmed. A message shows in the display.
Settings Steam system Lighting The appliance has two heating systems. They allow for independent preparation of froth/cappuccino or espresso/coffee. The second heating system can be turned off to save energy during the heating phase e.g. if froth is not prepared very often. Lighting sets the type of light used when the appliance is turned on.

Setting the serving sizes The flavor of the coffee depends on the coffee and quantity of water used. To ensure the machine uses exactly the amount of water to suit your taste and your cups, there is a choice of two serving sizes for espresso/coffee. The fill height can be programmed. Espresso serving size approx. 30 - 125 ml. Coffee serving size approx. 30 - 250 ml. Hot water serving size approx. 30 - 250 ml. Cappuccino is a combination of milk froth and espresso.
Cleaning and Care Allow the coffee system to cool before cleaning. Danger of burns! + back SETTINGS J... ~ + CARE ... Do not clean the unit with a steam cleaner. Never use cleaners containing chlorides, sand, soda or scouring agents. These will damage the surface. To avoid mold of coffee waste, clean the unit regularly. All parts can be cleaned in the dishwasher, except the brew unit and the bean container.
Cleaning and Care Water tank Waste unit Empty the water tank daily and refill before preparing the first drink with fresh, cold tap water. The display shows a message to empty the waste unit. Clean the waste unit daily. Coffee waste can mold if there is water in the waste unit from the rinse process. Check if the valve is clean. If the valve has residues on it, the water tank will not connect properly and might leak. Line the waste unit with a paper towel to make for easier cleaning.
Cleaning and Care Drip tray The trip tray contains a sensor which causes the display to show when the tray is full and needs to be emptied. Clean the drip tray daily. Remove the drip tray after the final rinse when no more water runs from the lines. ^ Wash the drip tray in the dishwasher or by hand with hot water and liquid dish soap, then dry with a soft cloth. Take care that the metal contacts at the back of the drip tray are clean and dry.
Cleaning and Care Drip catch with metal insert Bean container The bean container must be cleaned by hand with hot water and liquid dish soap. ^ Pull the bean container out and push the lid back. ^ Wash the bean container by hand with hot water and liquid dish soap, then dry with a soft cloth. ^ Take out and clean the drip catch and metal plate. 38 ^ Push the lid back and reinsert the bean container into the machine.
Cleaning and Care Coffee dispenser connector Interior and door ^ Once all movable parts are removed clean the interior with a solution of hot water and liquid dish soap.
