2 General description The WMF combiNation F is a coffee machine for automatic preparation of filter coffee and hot water. Cups, mugs, pots and jugs can be dispensed. The brewer unit enables 1 and 2 litres of coffee to be prepared.
3 Warnings Maximum machine safety is an integral WMF product characteristic to which we pay particular attention. In spite of all our safety precautions, every machine is potentially hazardous if not operated properly. This is why – for your own safety – we have summarised the warnings below and highlighted them in grey throughout the instruction manual.
If the machine is to be shut down for an extended period, a general cleaning should be carried out first and the grouts collector should be emptied. Drain the machine first to prevent frost damage if there is any risk of freezing. A WMF Customer Service Technician must be called promptly in such cases.

• If the water used in the machine has a carbonate hardness above 9°, a WMF water filter must be fitted in the supply line. Otherwise limescale can cause damage to the machine.
CEE/CEKON socket to EN 60309 should be fitted. If the power lead to this machine is damaged, it must be replaced by WMF customer service or a similarly qualified specialist. If the machine is permanently connected on site, an all-pole circuit breaker (main switch) to EN 60947 with not less than 3 mm contact opening should preferably be fitted ahead of the machine.
7 Operation Starting the machine Before the machine is started up, the main shutoff valve in the fresh water feed line must be opened and the main electrical switch supplying the machine must be turned on. 7.1.1 Switching on manually Turn the key switch to position “1”...
You can assign each beverage key individually with your chosen coffee beverages. You will find a master for labelling the beverage keys on our Web site at www.wmf.de. You can use it to design your own labels and print them out on transparencies.
Note: We recommend switching off the machine when changing the labels, to prevent a beverage key being pressed in error. Otherwise, there is a danger of burning and scalding. You can label the beverage keys as you choose. To do this, press on either the left-hand or right-hand side of the key strip and, while still pressing, slide the key strip out sideways until the key strip comes out of its holder.

Caution! There is a danger of burning and scalding in the hot water and coffee dispensing area. Grasp the lower part of the front panel and slide it all the way up to the top, using gentle pressure. This enables the clear height to be increased to 280 mm.
Due to the design of the machine, a quantity for storage has to be selected before coffee can be brewed and dispensed. The brewer unit in the WMF combiNation F allows brew quantities of 1 and 2 litres of coffee to be prepared. One or more brews are carried out until the urn contains the desired quantity.
Two litres of coffee are transferred to the storage urn to begin with. If the coffee level in the urn falls below 1.5 litres, the WMF combiNation F starts automatic refill brewing of fresh coffee (1 litre). Should the coffee level fall below 1.0 litre, coffee dispensing is disabled.

Press again to stop. 6. Free flow Coffee or hot water dispensing continues as long as the beverage key or the hot water key is pressed. Your WMF customer service engineer will set your preferred alternative for you as required.
Switching off the machine Important! Daily cleaning must be carried out before switching off the machine (see chapter 11.1, Cleaning the machine, on page 135). 7.8.1 Switching off manually Turn the key switch to position “0” (Off). Important! After switching off the machine, the main shutoff valve on the water inlet must be closed and the main power switch to which the machine is connected must be switched off.
