PREPARING THE MACHINE

Please follow the instructions below step
by step. Place the machine on a level
surface and plug it in.

7.1 Filling the Water Tank

• Open the water tank lid and remove
the water tank (see fig. 4).
• Remove the Claris water cartridge
packaging.
• Rinse water tank well with clean, cold
tap water then fill tank with water.
• Make sure that the low water flotation
device is in place (see fig. 4, call out #4).
If not, see chapter 15.1, c.
• Replace water tank and make sure it
clicks correctly into place.
7.2

Filling the Bean Container

• Open the bean container lid and fill
container with beans (see fig. 5) If you
use frozen beans, let them thaw for 3 to
4 hours before filling them into the bean
container. This will prevent moisture
from seeping into the grinder.
sugar-coated beans.
• Close the bean container lid.
7.2a When using oily beans
• Beans with an oily surface tend to stick
together. This may prevent a continu-
ous flow of beans from the bean con-
tainer into the burrs. As a result the
grinder does not grind enough coffee
and you might get weak or no coffee at
all. Stir the beans in the bean container
just before grinding. Alternatively you
can also pour the beans in an open
bowl and let them sit for about 5 hours.
The oils will evaporate (this will not
change the taste of your coffee). Then
fill the beans into the bean grinder.
Now beans will feed into grinder easily.
