Adjusting Coffee Strength By Modifying The Amount Of Water Used; Individual Adjustments To The Coffee Strength - SEVERIN CAFISSIMO KA 5115 Manual

- Place the capsule-holder in its cradle and pull the operating lever down all the way.
- Depending on the size of the cup to be filled, place the cup either
directly in the centre of the drainer or on the small fold-down tray.
In the down position, this tray is used for small cups. In its closed
position, it is held in place by a magnet.
- Press the selector button matching the colour of the inserted
capsule. The button to be pressed (i.e. the type of coffee selected)
depends on the colour of the inserted capsule. If e.g. a yellow
capsule was loaded, the yellow button (for caffè crema) must be
pressed.
Once the appropriate button is pressed, it starts flashing and brewing starts. The coffee
selected is delivered straight into the cup.
Once the brewing cycle is complete, the colour-coded selector buttons will be
permanently lit again. In addition, a beep signal is heard approx. 5 seconds after brewing
is finished.
You can now enjoy your freshly brewed coffee.
After use
- Push the operating lever upwards.
- Remove the capsule-holder. To catch any drips of water, a plate or similar object can be
held underneath.
Turn the capsule-holder upside down over a garbage bin and drop the capsule out.
- If no more coffee is to be brewed for the moment, press the On/Off switch to turn the
appliance off.
- Replace the capsule-holder, but leave the operating lever in its upper (i.e. unlocked)
position to avoid unnecessary strain on the unit.
- Clean the capsule-holder as described in the section 'Cleaning'.
- Check the drip tray for accumulated liquid and pour away if any is found.
Note: do not leave used capsules in the appliance. As with ordinary coffee or other food,
moist coffee grounds can turn mouldy. If a used capsule has been left sitting in the unit for
several days, clean the capsule-holder as described, and , in addition, carefully clean the
spike in the capsule-holder cradle (Caution: take care when doing this).
Automatic switch-off
The unit comes with an automatic switch-off feature. If no input is received from any button
or the rotary control, the appliance will automatically switch off. Auto switch-off is indicated
by a beep signal.
This safety function also helps to conserve energy. We recommend that you switch off the
appliance each time after use.
