To descale the Sincreative CM5700A-UL espresso machine:
1. Empty the water tank and fill it with prepared descaler (citric acid) up to the MAX mark. 2. Place a container (same capacity as the water tank) on the draining rack under the filter holder and steam/hot water nozzle. 3. Switch the machine on, if it’s not already on. 4. Press and hold the HOT-WATER button for 5 seconds, then turn the steam volume controller to STEAM. The hot water button will turn off, and the single and double espresso buttons will flash. The descaling process begins and takes about 15 minutes. 5. Repeat the process using clear water to fully rinse out the descaler.

If the water and preheating functions are not working and the red light is flashing on the single and double espresso settings, it could indicate that the water system has not been flushed or the machine is not properly filled with water. Ensure the water tank is filled with cold, preferably filtered water up to the MAX line and locked firmly in place. Also, confirm that the machine has completed the heating process and is in STANDBY mode before proceeding.

Scope of delivery Scope of delivery Injury hazard! The grinding mechanism has sharp edges. Never insert fingers, parts of cutlery or other items into the grinding mechanism. • Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply, if it is unsupervised and prior to assembly, dismantling or cleaning the grinding mechanism.
Page 14
Safety • Do not release the filter holder while the machine is running: Hot water may spray out. The filter holder must be turned as far as it will • Allow the filter holder to cool off completely before changing the inserted brewing filter.
Page 15
Safety • Protect the espresso machine from frost: Water residues may freeze at temperatures below 32 °F and damage the heater. • Place the appliance on a sturdy and level surface. In doing so, ensure that there is a sufficient distance to strong heat sources, such as hot plates, heating pipes, inter alia.
Prior to initial use Prior to initial use Unpacking Risk of damage! If you open the packaging without due care and attention using a sharp knife or other pointed objects, the appliance may become damaged. 1. Remove the appliance and accessories from the packaging. 2.
Page 17
Prior to initial use Wipe the parts dry and let them dry off completely. Only wipe off the double-wall coffee bean container damply, do not immerse in water. The grinding mechanism does not need to be cleaned separately prior to initial use. After use, also only clean in a dry state, using a brush.
Prior to initial use Prepare grinding mechanism 1. Ensure that the steam controller is switched to OFF and disconnect the power plug, if necessary. The grinding mechanism is removed for transport. Attach the grinding mechanism, as described in the Cleaning the grinding mechanism section, Point 8.
Page 19
Prior to initial use 7. Press the ON/OFF button. The grinding mechanism standby indicator lights up. Initially ignore the buttons lighting up. 8. Turn the degree of grinding pre-selection to the right to level 15 (the setting mark is above the scale from 1 to 15). 9.
Prior to initial use Flush the water system Prior to initial use and after a longer period of disuse of the espresso machine, allow the contents of approx. 2-3 cups of water to run through the machine. This will clean the water circuit and all parts will be heated up.
Page 21
Prior to initial use 8. Press the ON/OFF button . The grinding mechanism standby indicator lights up. The ON/OFF, HOT-WATER , single espresso and the button for double espresso will slowly dim on/off. After approx. 20 seconds, the heating process is completed and the buttons light up constantly.

Scope of delivery Approx.194°F of hot water will now run out of the steam/hot water nozzle into the drip tray . The quantity of hot water is pre-set to approx. 7 OZ. To stop the HOT-WATER function, please press the button again. 11.
About the grinder For a new user, we suggest to use settings 7-10 initially, and then make corresponding adjustments according to the coffee extraction situation and the pressure shown by the pressure gauge. Why is it slow to dispense ground coffee at settings 1-3? This is a normal phenomenon, because the burr and body are...

Only grind roasted coffee beans in this appli- ance. Do not process any other foods, such as nuts, spices or liquids, to avoid damaging the appliance. Please do not operate the appliance when it is empty, i.e. without coffee beans. We recommend always grinding coffee beans fresh, shortly prior to use, not for stock.
Prepare espresso Scalding hazard! If you remove the filter holder while dispensing coffee, hot water droplets will spray from the espresso machine. You may scald yourself. Always make sure that the brewing filters and filter holders are clean and do not contain any coffee residues. Before brewing espresso for the first time, we basically recommend rinsing through the brewing unit once together with the filter holder and the respective filter (...
Page 28
With the large brewing filter, two single espressos can also be prepared, if you place two cups next to one another under the filter holder. The MAX marks in both of the brewing filters are intended to assist in identifying the correct quantity of compressed, ground coffee more easily.
Page 29
10. Let the grinding process run until the required coffee quantity is ground. Afterwards, pull the filter holder out of the bracket. The grinding process can be interrupted at any time. For this, pull the filter holder back slightly in the filter holder bracket. For a single espresso, you need approx.13-15g, and for a double espresso, approx.
Page 30
12. For this, align the filter holder to the left with the handle at the front to INSERT, then move it horizontally upwards into the filter holder bracket and turn it to the right as far as it will go to LOCK.
Empty brewing filter Scalding hazard! The metal parts of the filter holder and the brewing filter used become hot during use. 1. Swing the filter holder to the left and remove it from the filter holder bracket Avoid releasing the filter holder with too much force. Prepare yourself for the weight already before releasing it and use slight upward pressure, so that the filter holder does not fall out of the bayonet bracket.
Page 32
It is recommended to use a small, hygienic stainless steel jug.You can also use your hand easily to estimate the temperature on the outside. The frothed milk should not be hotter than approx. 140.℉ At this temperature, the container can still just be held in the hand. Allow the frothed milk to stand for approx.
Page 33
9. You will hear hissing, pleas make sure that the milk whirls around. The volume of the milk will increase over time. Move the container gradually downwards, so that the nozzle is held on the surface. As soon as the container heats up, hold the nozzle in the milk and just let the milk foam roll.
Hot water function Scalding hazard! The water discharged from the steam nozzle/hot water nozzle is very hot. You may scald yourself. 1. Connect the power plug to a socket. A beep tone sounds. 2. Press the ON/OFF button. The grinding mechanism standby indicator lights up and the HOT-WATER buttons , the button for single espresso...
Change water quantity for coffee preparation You can adapt the quantity of water and thereby adapt the quantity of espresso for the single or double espresso. A minor discrepancy of the quantity is possible later on during preparation (due to different pressure): 1.
Water tank empty If the water tank is empty or if it is emptied during preparation, a beep tone will sound three times and the buttons will light up red. In this case, fill water into the water tank. Please note the MAX mark. Switch off...
Cleaning Cleaning Electric shock hazard! Incorrect handling of the article can cause an electric shock. • Do not immerse the product or the power cable or the power plug into water or other liquids. • Remove the power plug from the socket before cleaning the product.

Cleaning - Now, turn the grinding mechanism clockwise (seen form the top) to let it engage. 9. Insert the coffee bean container 1, also see under prepare grinding mechanism. Clean brewing filter Empty the used brewing filter after each use and rinse it out thoroughly with water before refilling it.
Descale espresso machine Descale espresso machine With the constant use of hard water, limescale deposit will accumulate at an early stage. These residues must be removed on a regular basis, as the limescale impairs the flavour of many internal functional components, the water flow, the brewing temperature and the performance of the espresso machine.
