How to avoid injuries and scalds when
using the machine.
Do not leave the machine unattended during beverage preparation.
This machine can be used by children from the age of 8 years and older and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities or who lack experience and knowledge provided they are supervised or have been instructed regarding the safe operation of the machine, and understand the resulting dangers.
Cleaning or servicing of the machine that is normally carried out by the user must not be carried out by children unless they are 8 years old or older and act under supervision.
The machine and its connection cable must be kept out of the reach of children younger than 8 years. Children must not play with the machine.

Never open the lever on the machine during the brewing, rinsing, cleaning or descaling processes. Do not hold your fingers under the dispensing spout after completing a process and when opening the lever. There is a risk of scalding due to residual liquid discharging! When the brewing process has been completed, slowly open the lever in order to eject the capsule; do not bend over the capsule insertion opening (risk of hot liquid sprays).
Never reach with your fingers into the capsule insertion opening – risk of injury!
Do not touch the milk foaming unit when it is in operation – risk of burning injuries!
Do not hold your fingers under the milk discharge spout. Risk of scalding from hot milk froth, steam jet or residual liquid discharge!

EN Safety instructions (continued)

Never use a damaged or deformed capsule. Only use drink capsules marked with the K-fee® System logo that are intended for the machine.
Capsules to be used!
Only use original K-fee® System capsules! Note the red K-fee® System logo and the characteristic slotted capsule shape. Using non-original capsules involves the following risks: 1. Health hazards When using non-original capsules, differences in the brewing process and the capsule design can cause hot water to escape under high pressure – risk of scalding!

2. Damage to the machine and warranty
   When using non-original capsules, differences in the brewing process and the capsule design will cause damage to the machine which means that any warranty claims may be forfeited!
   The manufacturer and his distribution partner cannot be held liable for any injury or damage which is the direct or indirect result of non-original capsules being used with this machine.

Contact service centre if error recurs. Rinse button flashes red while dispensing drink? Descale the machine. Drink not dispensed properly? Press the lever down completely. If necessary, clean and descale the machine. In case that the water tank ran empty during beverage dispensing, please open and close the lever, in order to eject the capsule. Fill the water tank and rinse system until water comes out of the spout. Drink dispensing is delayed? Appliance is re-heating. Is the spent capsule container overfull and jammed? Try to disengage the spent capsule container by gently shaking it. After inserting a capsule, the lever cannot be closed completely? Check that there is no used capsule in the brewing chamber, that the container for used capsules is not overfull and that the newly inserted capsule is in the correct position. Is the beverage not hot enough? If necessary, descale the machine.

Frequently asked questions

(continued)

Milk foaming unit does not function?
No milk froth can be dispensed while drink is dispensed. If necessary, clean milk foaming unit thoroughly.
Unsatisfactory milk frothing result?
The froth quality can vary depending on the type of milk and milk temperature. Residue of cleaning liquids can have a negative effect on froth quality. Thoroughly rinse the milk foaming unit with water.
Milk foaming unit stops suddenly and rinse button flashes red?
Milk frothing cannot last longer than 90 s. After that the rotary switch must be returned to drink dispensing.
Do I have to descale the machine if I am using the water filter?
The machine must be descaled on a regular basis. However, the water filter significantly extends the time until the machine has to be descaled again. Nevertheless, it is possible that mineral deposits occur depending on the water quality and the machine location. For this reason we recommend an annual cleaning/rinsing process using a K-fee® System descaler.
What is Eco mode?

The machine returns into Eco mode when it is not used within the pre-set period. The appliance uses considerably less energy in Eco mode (less than 0.5 W) than if it is ready for operation.

Reset appliance to factory settings?
Switch off the machine and unplug the mains cord from the wall socket. Wait for at least 30 s. Keep the On/Off button and rinse button depressed at the same time and re-insert the mains plug. Let go of both buttons. All back-lit buttons flash once as confirmation.
