The display shows the selected drinks and settings plus messages reporting the appliance’s operating status.

These messages are cleared as soon as the action has been carried out.

Initial use

General

Fill the appropriate container using only pure, cold, uncarbonated water and solely roasted beans. Do not use coffee beans that have been glazed, caramelised or treated with other additives containing sugar, since they will block the brewing unit. The water hardness setting on the
appliance can be adjusted. The factory setting for the water hardness is 4. Use the enclosed test strip to determine the hardness of your water supply. If this shows a value other than 4, you will need to programme the appliance appropriately after it has been taken into service (see section “Menu – Water hardness”).

Setting up the appliance

• Remove any protective plastic film.
• Place the fully automatic coffee machine on a level, waterproof surface that is able to support its weight.
• The appliance’s ventilation slits must not be covered or obscured.
  • Important: Only use the appliance in a frost-free room. If it has been transported or stored at temperatures below 0°C, wait at least 3 hours before taking it into operation.
• Connect the power supply (cable storage compartment 18) to the socket. You can adjust the length of the cable by pulling it further out or pushing it back in. To do this, place the appliance with its back flush with the edge of the work surface and either pull the cable out downwards or push it in upwards.
• Flip up the lid of the water tank 6.
• Remove the water tank 5, rinse it out and fill it with fresh cold water. Do not fill it past the “max” mark.
• Replace the water tank 5, making sure that it is straight, and push it right down into place.
• Reclose the lid of the water tank 6.
• Fill the bean container 9 with coffee beans.

Tips on energy saving

• When the fully automatic coffee machine is not in use, use the mains switch J 1 on the front of the appliance to switch it off.
• In the menu, set the Automatic shut-down period to 15 minutes.
• If possible, do not interrupt the dispensing of coffee or milk froth. Stopping a process prematurely results in higher energy consumption and the drip tray fills up more quickly.
• Descale the appliance regularly to avoid a build-up of limescale. Limescale residues cause higher energy consumption.

Frost protection

Caution! To prevent frost damage during trans-portation and storage, completely empty the appliance beforehand.

• See the section “Menu – Frost protection”.

Storing accessories

The fully automatic coffee machine has special compartments to hold the meas- uring spoon and the Quick reference guide.

• To store the measuring spoon 8, lift off the water tank 5 and place the spoon in the preformed recess 7.
• To store the Quick reference guide, open the door to the brewing unit 13 and insert the guide into the space provided 16.
