Depending on the presets, one, two or three beans are shown in the display. The appliance is now ready for use.

information Tip: If you are using a filter, the internal water softening is automatically set to water hardness level 1! The appliance needs descaling less frequently – but always descale when called upon to do so and always with the FIILTER REMOVED.

The filter will be flat after approx. 50 l of water have been drawn (see chapter 4.1. how to change the filter).

Attention :
Even if the display does not indicate "Change filter" by highlighting the symbol , the filter needs changing after a maximum of two months if the appliance is not used regularly (see chapter 4).

Using the device without filter, adjust water hardness

Depending on the water hardness in your area, the appliance needs to be descaled every now and again. For the system to be able to indicate that this is necessary, you need to set the correct water hardness prior to first use.
Using the appliance with the filter and the appropriate settings (see above) the water hardness is automatically set to level 1.
First test the water quality with the enclosed test strip.

Dip the test strip into the water and shake it lightly.
After about one minute you will be able to read the result by counting the red dots on the test strip.
The different levels are listed as follows and can be adjusted:

Test strip / Degree of hardness = Display
1 red dot / 1–7° = LEVEL 1 = 1 red bar
2 red dots / 8–14° = LEVEL 2 = 2 red bars
3 red dots/ 15–21° = LEVEL 3 = 3 red bars
4 red dots / >21° = LEVEL 4 = 4 red bars

information Tip: If the test strip does not show any red dot, please set up level 1.

Attention :
Should you want to use the appliance without filter, the water hardness must be set. This is important because depending on the water hardness the appliance needs to be descaled more often (ex factory the appliance comes with the setting "use without filter; level 3 water hardness"!).

Press steam/rinsing button (fig. 1/E) for more than 3 seconds to go to main menu.
Symbol S7 and up to 3 bars light up at the bottom of the display.

information Tip: When you use the appliance for the first time or if it hasn't been used for a prolonged period of time the first cup will not have the full aroma and should therefore not be consumed.

Switching the appliance on

Once you have completed the instructions (chapter 2), the procedure for switching the appliance on is always similar:

Switch on using the on/off switch (fig. 1/J).

The display shows 5 flashing red bars. When the system has reached its operating temperature, the display will show symbol S10 .

Press steam/rinsing button (fig. 1/E).

The system is now being rinsed. The appliance is now ready for use. Depending on the presets, one, two or three beans are shown in the display.

information Tip: if you do not use the appliance for a prolonged period of time (e.g. holidays), switch it off using the on/off switch (fig. 1/J) and pull the mains plug.

Selecting the coffee strength

The coffee strength can be set in three levels according to taste which the display will show:
MILD, the display features one bean, about 7 grams of ground coffee, e.g. for latte or cappuccino;
STANDARD, the display features two beans, about 9 grams of ground coffee, e.g. for coffee;
STRONG, the display features three beans, about 11 grams of ground coffee, e.g. for espresso or strong coffee.

As soon as the appliance is operational, the display will show either its latest preset or the ex factory setting.

You can change the setting by repeatedly pressing the coffee strength / volume selector (fig. 1/B). Thus the coffee strength changes from mild (one bean in display) to standard (two beans in display) to strong (three beans in display) and back to mild.

Select water volume

By turning the coffee strength / volume selector (fig. 1/B), you can smoothly adjust the amount of water (cup symbol bottom left for little water, full cup symbol bottom right for plenty of water).

Regular cleaning by hand

information Tip: Please follow these cleaning instructions as working with foodstuffs demands the highest degree of cleanliness.

Attention :
Never immerse the appliance in water! Do not use abrasive cleaning agents.

Empty drip tray and used coffee container regularly (fig. 1/O and P). The red floating indicator at the back of the drip tray (fig. 1/Q) shows the tray's filling level.
Only use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning the casing inside and outside.
Empty drip tray and used coffee container (fig. 1/O and P) at the latest when this is indicated on the display (only when the appliance is switched on!).

Occasionally use a little soapy water for cleaning.

The water tank should be rinsed daily with clear water and then re-filled daily with fresh cool water.

information TIP: Dried milk residue is dif ficult to remove.

Therefore clean the steam/hot water jet/Spumatore, the suction hose regularly.

Attention :
From time to time (ideally each time the appliance will not be used for a while, at any rate in regular intervals!) the steam/hot water jet needs to be completely dismantled and thoroughly cleaned under running water (fig.3).

We recommend our special cleaning agent for milk residue NICC 705.

Cleaning the brew unit

Attention :
Remove the brew unit only when the appliance is switched off.

When necessary the brew unit can be removed and cleaned under cold, running water. Never use any cleaning agent, but clear, cold water only! For hygienic reasons we recommend the removal and cleaning of the unit thoroughly after each run of the cleaning program (see chapter 4.2).

Open and remove the service door on the right of the casing (fig. 1/M).
Remove the brew unit by pressing the red switch and turning the handle all the way to the left until it snaps into place (fig. 12).
Carefully remove the brew unit using the handle.
Clean the brew unit under running cold water and let it dry.
Reinsert the brew unit carefully and lock by pressing down the red switch and turning the handle all the way to the right until it snaps into place.
Close the service door and in doing so carefully place the pivots at the back of the door into the notches. Make sure that the door (fig. 1/M) completely snaps back into place.
