Special Cleaning of the Inner
Metal Screen
When using dark roasted oily beans it is
possible (not very likely) that the internal
metal screen clogs up. The result is that
water cannot pass through the system in
a timely manner and the machine inter-
rupts the brewing process and the four
green lights start blinking. You will find
very little or no coffee in your cup. To
get your machine going again and to
avoid the clogging in the future follow
these steps:
a) Reset the machine as described in
chapter 10.1
b) Turn the machine off and let cool
down for a few minutes (this is neces-
sary so that you don't touch the inner
metal screen while it is still hot)
c) Remove the drawer (fig. 1.14) and set
aside. Reach inside the opening until
you feel an angled movable latch.
Behind this latch, reaching slightly up,

use any liq-
you can feel a round metal screen. Take
a paper towel and wipe a few times over
that metal screen. You will see some
dark oily residue on your paper towel.
d) Replace the drawer and turn the
machine on.
e) Set the grinder to the coarsest posi-
tion (see chapter 8.3 "Adjusting the
Grinder"). This way the oily beans will not
deposit as much oils on the inner screen
than in the finer settings.
f) Run one or two cups of coffee through
the system.
Important:
Do not run a rinse cycle
immediately after brewing coffee. This
spreads the hot oils into the holes of the
internal metal screen.

This process is necessary if
you want to send a used machine to

frother.

only the green hot-water light
blinking.
• Steam will come out of the frother for
approximately 90 seconds. The
machine will stop automatically.
• Turn the selector switch back to the
coffee position. The machine is off.
Important:
The very next time you use
the machine, follow the instructions
under chapter 7.3 "First Time
Preparation."
