Cup preheat

  • For an optimum coffee making process and better taste of your coffee, we recommend that you preheat your cup by filling it with hot water first (e.g. using the hot water function). After the cup has been preheated, pour the water away.
  • You can use the heating surface A2 to warm up the cup for your coffee.

MAKING CAPPUCCINO, CAFFÈ LATTE AND ESPRESSO MACCHIATO
The steam nozzle A3 is designed for making espresso beverages containing milk and milk froth. For superior taste and quality of the beverage, use chilled fresh whole milk only.

Recommended procedure

  1. Fill a container with milk. The container must be sufficiently large as the milk quantity will increase three times as much.
  2. Firstly, make coffee following the usual procedure as the use of the steam nozzle will increase the temperature in the internal system, which could burn the ground coffee if you proceeded in reverse order.
  3.  Activate the steam nozzle by pressing button B1. Nozzle heating is indicated by blinking the backlight of button B1. When the nozzle is ready, the backlight of button B1 is permanently on. Turn regulator A1 to „ “ and steam nozzle A3 will produce steam.
  4. Then place the milk container under the steam nozzle so that the nozzle opening slightly touches the milk level and let the steam flow into the milk slowly by turning it counterclockwise. Turn off the steam nozzle by turning the regulator A1 to the „ position.
  5. Pour the frothed milk carefully over the coffee based on the espresso beverage you have selected; you can use a teaspoon to do so.
  6. Make sure to clean the milk frother immediately after use (components A3, A4, A5) see chapter MAINTENANCE (for basic fast cleaning we recommend that you activate the steam nozzle again for a short time). Milk-caked frother is harder to clean.

Recommendation

  • For optimum micro-froth production, we recommend that you use a special milk pot intended for that purpose.
  • Another way to make micro-froth (but not larger dense froth) is to tilt the container at a slight angle, not move it and allow the steam to stream into the container, creating an eddy.

INDIVIDUAL INSTALLATION OF COFFEE QUANTITY
The amount of coffee can be adjusted both for two cups (button B2) and for one cup (button B3). The procedure is as follows:

  1. Switch on the coffee machine by pressing button B4 and wait for it to warm up.
  2. Then press and hold the B2/B3 button until the desired quantity of coffee flows out. When the desired amount of coffee is flowing, release the button.
  3. The setting will be saved in the coffee machine memory (an acoustic signal will sound) and will remain stored even after the coffee machine is switched off and unplugged. network.

Remarks

  • If you hold the B2/B3 button too short, your settings will not be saved.
  • The amount of coffee can be adjusted from 25 to 200 ml (applicable for both buttons B2/B3). Press and hold B2/B3 for maximum 60 seconds to store the amount of coffee correctly. If holding the relevant button longer, the storage process will fail.
  • To cancel the individual coffee quantity setting, press button B1 at the same time and B3 for 3 seconds (an acoustic signal sounds). The coffee machine returns to the factory settings.

HOT WATER FUNCTION

  1. Press B4 to turn on the coffee machine.
  2. 2. Turn regulator A1 to position „
  3. Hot water will flow out of the steam nozzle A3.
  4. To stop the function, turn the regulator A1 to position „

Remark
If the “Hot Water” function is used previously, a small amount of water will flow out of the
nozzle at the beginning of this program. This is a normal condition.

COOLING FUNCTION
If you want to make coffee after using the steam nozzle A3, you must first cool the coffee machine because the temperature inside the machine is too high (the backlighting of the buttons B2 and B3 flash quickly). The procedure is as follows:

  1. Turn regulator A1 to position „ “.
  2. The coffee machine will start pumping and draining the water. This will cool down.
  3. When the backlighting of buttons B2 and B3 flash slowly, turn the controller A1 to the position „ “.
  4. This will stop the cooling function.

MAINTENANCE

Unplug the appliance from the power supply by taking the fork of the power cord out
of the socket (except for operations that require the coffee machine to remain switched on)! Clean the appliance only when it is cooled down! Do not use rough and aggressive detergents (e.g. sharp objects, scrapers, diluting agents or other solvents)! Wipe the surface of the appliance and its inlet with a damp cloth.

IMPORTANT
Regularly inspect and clean all parts to prevent mould on coffee residues!

Water tank (D)
We recommend that you clean the tank thoroughly and regularly (about once a week). Use regular washing-up liquid and then rinse the tank with clean water (you can also use a dishwasher). So as to prevent build-up of scale deposits, we recommend that you also rinse the tank under running water once a day.

Metal lever with plastic handle (C)
Remove coffee grounds from the stainless steel bowls (C2 and C3) after each use. Rinse the funnel C1 thoroughly under running water. Wash the filters (C2 and C3) in warm water with detergent and then rinse with clean water. Wipe the plastic handle with a damp cloth. Then let everything dry.

Drip tray (E)
Pour the drip tray as required. Wash parts E and E1 with a conventional dishwashing detergent, rinse with clean water and allow to dry.

Steam nozzle (A3)
The nozzle must be cleaned after each use. You can do so by activating it and immersing it in a container of clean water and then wiping it with a dry tissue. Also, clean it regularly by removing the A4 and A5 parts. Rinse the components under running water, let them dry and proceed in reverse order to assemble and place them back. If necessary, clean the openings with a long narrow object (toothpick, needle, etc.).

Descaling
If the coffee preparation time is significantly prolonged, the coffee machine‘s water system must be cleaned of lime and mineral deposits (scale). Said deposits may be removed with a water solution with a formulation intended for this purpose (e.g. ETA518000201). Always follow the manufacturer‘s instructions for the product, which are usually on the packaging. Depending on the water hardness and the frequency of use of the coffee machine, remove the scale regularly (recommended at least once a month). The procedure is as follows:

  1. Fill tank D with the prepared cleaning solution.
  2. Position lever C correctly.
  3. Place a suitable container under the coffee spout.
  4. After the coffee machine has warmed up, use the B2/B3 button to let the cleaning solution flow through the inside of the coffee machine (approx. 1/2 of the reservoir volume D). Use the rest of the solution to clean the steam nozzle using the hot water function.
  5. When container D is empty, rinse it with clean water. Then fill D-tank only with clean water and repeat the procedure. This will thoroughly flush out the inside of the coffee machine from the cleaning solution.

Expert service must do the large maintenance or to intervene into inside parts of the appliance! Non-observance of the instructions of the manufacturer cancels the right for guarantee repair! If you are unable to fix the problem, or if you need any further information about the appliance or service centres, please contact your distributor.
