Before using for the first time

Check the scope of supply
Use the following list to check the completeness of the delivery. Please contact your retailer if there are missing parts.

Milk container
Milk hose
water filter
Screw-in aid for the water filter
Test strips to determine water hardness

General information

Only use pure water without carbonation.
Use the supplied test strip to determine the hardness of the water used and set the water hardness.
If you wish to use a water filter, do not insert it until after the initial startup.

Information for using for the first time
The appliance must be vented before it is used for the first time. The appliance may only be switched on with a completely filled water tank.

Graphic display example

Starting up the appliance

Switching on for the first time

Danger of fire and electric shock due to incorrect supply voltage, incorrect or damaged connections and power cable!

Ensure that the supply voltage corresponds to the supply voltage specified on the identification label of the appliance. The identification label is located on the right side of the appliance behind the cover (Figure B, 13).
Make sure that the power socket meets the applicable standards for electrical safety. If in doubt, contact a qualified electrician.
Never use damaged power cables (damaged insulation, bare wires).

Place the appliance on a stable, dry and level surface with sufficient clearance (at least 10 cm) to the sides.
Plug the power cable into a suitable power socket.
Press the button to switch on the appliance. After switching on, first set the language and then the time.
Turn the rotary switch (FigureA, 10) to selective the respective setting (language, hour, minute).
Press the rotary switch to save the each setting.

After making the settings, fill the bean container:

Filling the bean container. Then fill the water tank:
Lift up the lid of the water tank6 and pull the water tank up and out of the appliance.
Fill the water tank with fresh tap water only up to the max. mark.
Insert the water tank into the appliance.
Press the rotary switch.
Place a vessel under outlet 3.
Press the rotary switch. First, an automatic rinsing is carried out. The appliance is ready for operation when the buttons illuminate.

Filling the bean container

Danger for persons allergic to caffeine!
Since a residual quantity of the previously used beans remains above the grinder, the two types of beans mix when changing to a different bean type. Consequently, when switching over to decaffeinated beans, the first two cups may still contain coffee that is not decaffeinated. This means that only the third cup of coffee prepared after the switchover is free of caffeine.

In the 2-chamber "Bean Select" bean container, two different types of coffee can be filled. Change the coffee type using the tilt lever.

Fill bean container 7 with fresh coffee beans (max. 135 g per chamber).
Select the desired bean type by setting the tilt lever to the appropriate chamber.

Adjusting the grinding fineness

The grinding fineness level was optimally adjusted prior to delivery. It is therefore recommended to only adjust the grinding fineness after about 1 000 coffee preparations (about 1 year).

The grinding fineness can only be set while the mill is running. Thus, the grinding fineness should be adjusted directly after coffee dispensing starts.

If the coffee flavour is not sufficiently intense, it is recommended to set a finer grinding level.

Set the grinding fineness with the lever 14.

To the right = Coarser grinding fineness
To the left = Finer grinding fineness
