2 Safety Information
This appliance conforms to accepted
1
technological standards with regard to
safety, and to the Appliance Safety
Law. As the manufacturer, we nevertheless wish to familiarise you with the
following safety information.
General safety
• The coffee machine must be connected
only to a mains power current of which
the voltage, type of supply and frequency conform to the details shown
on the type plate (this can be found on
the underside of the appliance)!
• Never allow the mains lead to come
into contact with hot parts of the
appliance.
• Never use the mains lead to pull the
plug out of the mains socket!
• Do not use the coffee machine if:
– the mains lead is damaged, or
– the housing shows visible signs of
damage.
• This appliance is not intended for use
by people (including children) who, due
to lack of experience or knowledge, are
unable to operate it safely, or for use
by people (including children) whose
physical, sensory or mental capabilities
are reduced, unless a person responsible for them has shown them how to
use it safely, and has supervised them
initially.
Child safety
• Do not leave the coffee machine running unattended, and take special
care when children are about!
• Packaging material, e.g. plastic bags,
should not be accessible to children.
Safety in operation
• Caution! The coffee spout, milk
frother and cup warmer tray become
hot in operation. Keep children at a
safe distance!
• Caution! Danger of scalding when the
milk frother is activated! Hot water or
steam output can cause scalding.
Activate the milk frother only when
you are holding a container under the
nozzle.
• Do not use steam to heat inflammable
liquids!
• Only use the coffee machine with
water in the system! Fill the water tank
only with cold water. Do not use hot
water, milk or other liquids. Do not
exceed the maximum fill level of
approx. 1.8 litres.
• Do not put frozen or caramelised coffee beans in the bean container. Use
only roasted coffee beans! Remove
any foreign objects, such as small
stones, from the coffee beans. Blocking or damage caused by foreign
objects in the grinder might be
excluded from the guarantee.
• Spoon only ground coffee into the
ground coffee funnel.
• Do not leave the coffee machine
switched on unnecessarily.
• Do not expose the coffee machine to
the effects of weather.
• When using an extension lead, use only
a commercially available cable with a
conductor cross-section of at least
2
1.5 mm
• To avoid injury, people with motor system disorders should never use the
machine without an accompanying
person.
• Operate the machine only when the
drip tray, coffee grounds container
and the cup support tray are
installed!
.
Safety in cleaning and care
• Follow the cleaning and descaling
instructions.
• Switch off the coffee machine and
unplug it from the mains socket before
carrying out any maintenance or
cleaning!
• Do not immerse the coffee machine in
water.
29
g
• Only clean the milk frother when the
machine is switched off, cold and not
under pressure!
• Do not clean coffee machine parts in
the dishwasher.
• Never put water in the grinder. This
would damage the grinder.
Never open or repair the coffee
machine. Faulty repairs can result in
considerable hazard to the user.
Repairs to electrical appliances must be
carried out only by qualified service
engineers.
If a repair becomes necessary, including replacement of the mains lead,
please contact
• the dealer where you bought the coffee machine, or
• the AEG/Electrolux Service Line.
If the machine is misused or incorrectly operated the manufacturer
accepts no liability for damage and
the guarantee is invalidated - likewise if the descaling program is not
carried out in accordance with these
operating instructions immediately
after the light flashes. Blocking or damage caused by foreign
objects in the grinder might be
excluded from the guarantee.
3 Before using for the first
time
3.1 Setting up and connecting the
coffee machine
0 After unpacking, make sure the appli-
ance is complete and undamaged. If in
doubt, do not use it. Contact professionally qualified personnel.
0 Place the appliance on a work surface
far away from water taps, basins and
sources of heat.
After having positioned the appliance
1
on the work bench, make sure that
there is a free space of around 5 cm
between the surfaces of the appliance
and the side and rear walls and a free
space of at least 20 cm above the coffee maker.
Never install the machine in environments where the temperature may
reach 0 °C or lower (the appliance may
be damaged if the water freezes).
Check that the voltage of the mains
1
power supply corresponds to the value
indicated on the appliance's type plate.
Only connect the appliance to a power
outlet with a minimum rating of 10 A
that is properly earthed. The manufacturer declines all liability for any accidents caused if the system is not
correctly earthed.
If the power outlet does not match the
1
plug on the appliance, have the outlet
replaced with a suitable type by qualified personnel.
0 Plug the coffee machine into the
power outlet.
If the coffee machine is plugged in for
the very first time, all lights come on
for a few seconds for a check, then all
lights go off.
The water hardness should be set as
3
soon as possible, following the procedure described in the section 9.5 „Setting the water hardness“, page 38.
30
g
To correctly learn how to use the
3
machine, when starting it for the first
time, carefully follow the step-by-step
instructions described in the following
paragraphs.
3.2 Filling with water
Each time before switching on the coffee machine, check that there is water
in the water tank, and refill if necessary. The coffee machine requires water
for the automatic rinsing processes
each time the machine is switched on
or off.
0 Remove the water tank (Fig. 4), rinse it
and fill it with fresh water, without
exceeding the MAX line. When removing the tank, the milk frother must
always be positioned towards the centre of the machine, otherwise the tank
cannot be removed.
Pour only fresh cold water into the
1
water tank. Never put in other liquids,
e.g. mineral water or milk.
0 Replace the tank, pushing it all the way
in.
To always be sure of obtaining a rich
3
coffee with a full aroma, you should:
– change the water in the water tank
daily,
– wash the water tank at least once a
week in normal washing-up water
(not in the dishwasher). Then rinse
with fresh water.
3.3 Filling the coffee bean container
0 Open the lid on the coffee bean con-
tainer (Fig. 5).
0 Fill the container with coffee beans.
0 Close the lid.
Note! Do not put frozen or caramelised
1
coffee beans in the bean container. Use
only roasted coffee beans! Make sure
that no foreign objects, such as small
stones, enter the coffee bean container. Blocking or damage caused by
foreign objects in the grinder might
be excluded from the guarantee.
Coffee has been used to factory-test
3
the appliance, and it is therefore completely normal for there to be traces of
coffee in the mill. This appliance is
however guaranteed to be new.
3.4 Switching on for the first time
When you operate the machine for the
first time, the coffee machine has to be
vented.
0 Check that the water tank is full and
that power cable is plugged into the
power outlet.
0 Move the milk frother towards the
outside and place a cup underneath
(Fig. 6). Then turn the machine on by
pressing the button (Fig. 7).
0 Immediately after, within a maximum
of 30 seconds, turn the steam knob
anticlockwise until it stops (Fig. 8) (it is
normal for the machine to make some
noise).
After few seconds, a little water will
come out of the milk frother.
0 When there is around 30 cc in the cup,
turn the steam knob half a turn clockwise (Fig. 8) until it stops, so as to stop
the water coming out.
0 Wait for the and lights to stop
flashing and turn on steady. (When the
lights are flashing it means that the
machine is pre-heating, while when
they are on steady it means that the
machine has reached the ideal temperature for making coffee).
A few moments before the lights stop
flashing the machine automatically
performs a rinse cycle: a little hot
water will come out of the delivery
spouts and will be collected in the drip
tray underneath.
Tip: for a hotter, short coffee (less than
3
60 cc), first fill the cup with the hot
rinsing water. Then leave it inside for a
few seconds (before emptying it) so as
to pre-heat the cup.
At this point, the machine is ready for
use.

g
4 Making coffee with beans
0 Before delivering the coffee, always
make sure that the and lights
are on steady, and that the water tank
and the coffee bean container are full.
0 Adjust the grinding quantity selector
knob (Fig. 9) to set the desired taste of
the coffee.
Turning the knob clockwise increases
the quantity of coffee beans that the
machine will grind, and thus makes the
taste of the coffee stronger. When
using the machine for the first time,
the correct position of the knob can be
found by trial and error. Make sure not
to turn it too far clockwise, otherwise
the coffee will be delivered too slowly
(in drops), above all when preparing
two cups of coffee.
0 Adjust the coffee quantity selector
knob (Fig. 10) to set the quantity of
coffee required.
Turning the knob clockwise makes a
longer coffee. When using the machine
for the first time, the correct position
of the knob can be found by trial and
error.
0 Place one cup under the spouts to
make 1 coffee or 2 cups for 2 coffees
(Fig. 11). For a creamy coffee, lower the
spouts to bring them as close to the
cups as possible (Fig. 12).
0 Press the button (Fig. 13) to make
one cup of coffee or the button
(Fig. 14) to make 2 coffees.
At this point the machine grinds the
beans, runs a short pre-infusion cycle,
a pause and then completes the delivery.
Once the desired quantity has been
reached, the machine automatically
stops delivering the coffee and discharges the grounds into the special
container.
After a few seconds, when both the
and indicator lights are on again,
another coffee can be made.
0 To switch the machine off, press the
button. (Before switching off, the
machine automatically runs a rinse
cycle: a little hot water will come out
of the spouts and will be collected in
the drip tray underneath - be careful,
to avoid being scalded ). If the machine
is not switched off using the button, it will switch itself off and run a
brief rinse cycle 3 hours after the last
operation.
Note 1: If the coffee is delivered a drop
3
at a time or not at all, turn the grinding coarseness regulator (Fig. 17) one
click clockwise (see section 5 „Adjusting the coffee grinder“, page 34). Turn
a click at a time until the coffee is
delivered satisfactorily.
The grinder setting may be changed
1
only while coffee is being ground.
Making adjustments to the stationary
grinder can damage the coffee
machine.
NOTE 2: If the coffee is delivered too
3
fast and is not creamy enough, turn
the grinding quantity selector knob
(Fig. 9) clockwise. Proceed by trial and
error to find the correct position of the
knob. Make sure not to turn the knob
too far clockwise, otherwise the delivery may become too slow (in drops),
above all when making two cups of
coffee. If, after several coffees, the
cream is still not satisfactory, also turn
the grinding adjustment knob (Fig. 17)
one click anticlockwise (see section 5
„Adjusting the coffee grinder“,
page 34).
Note 3: Tips on making hotter coffee:
3
1) If, when the machine has just been
turned on, a short cup of coffee is
required (less than 60 cc), use the hot
rinsing water to pre-heat the cups.
2) If, on the other hand, more than 2 or
3 minutes have elapsed since the last
coffee was made, before preparing
another coffee the infuser must be
pre-heated, pressing the button.
32
g
Then let the water flow out into the
drip tray underneath, or alternatively
use this water to fill (and then empty)
the cup to be used for the coffee, so as
to pre-heat it.
3) Unless preheated, do not use cups
that are too thick, as they will absorb
too much heat.
4) Use cups that have been previously
heated by rinsing them with hot water
or alternatively by leaving them for at
least 20 minutes on the cup warmer
tray on top of the machine with the
appliance on.
Note 4: while the machine is making
3
the coffee, the delivery can be stopped
at any time by pressing the button
(Fig. 13) or button (Fig. 14), or by
turning the coffee quantity selector
knob (Fig. 10) anti-clockwise.
Note 5: as soon as delivery is complete,
3
to increase the quantity of coffee, simply press and hold the button (Fig.
13) or button (Fig. 14), until
reaching the desired quantity, or turn
the coffee quantity selector knob (Fig.
10) clockwise (this operation must be
performed immediately after the coffee is dispensed and before the coffee
grounds are ejected into the grounds
container).
Note 6: when the alarm comes on,
3
the water tank must be filled, otherwise the coffee cannot be made. The
water tank can only be removed if the
milk frother is first positioned towards
the centre of the machine. (It is normal
for there to be a little water left in the
tank when the alarm comes on).
Note 7: the machine counts the
3
number of cups of coffee made. Each
14 single cups (or 7 double cups), the
light switches on steady, warning
the user that the grounds container is
full and must be emptied and cleaned,
see 9.2 „Emptying the grounds
container“, page 36.
Note 8: the grinder in the coffee
3
maker may become worn over time
and consequently the coffee will
change taste as it is ground more
coarsely.
To resolve this problem, re-set the
grinding coarseness on the coffee
grinder by adjusting the knob (Fig. 17)
one click anticlockwise (as described in
section 5 „Adjusting the coffee
grinder“, page 34).
Note 9: if the machine is not used for a
3
long period, the infuser must be
cleaned, as described in section 9.3
„Cleaning the infuser“, page 37.
Note 10: while the machine is deliver-
3
ing coffee, never remove the water
tank. If it is removed, the machine will
not be able to make the coffee and the
"no water" light will flash. If you
try and make another coffee, the
machine becomes noisy and does not
make the coffee. To reset the machine,
turn the steam knob anticlockwise as
far as it will go and run off water from
the milk frother for a few seconds.
When using the machine for the first
3
time, 4-5 cups of coffee made before
the machine starts to give satisfying
results.
When an alarm light comes on to sig-
3
nal an anomaly, do not contact the
service centre straight away. The problems can almost always be resolved by
following the instructions indicated in
section 11 „Meaning of the alarm indicator lights and what to do when they
are on“, page 39 and section 12 „Problems that can be resolved before calling the Customer Service Centre“,
page 41. If necessary, contact the Customer Service Centre.

5 Adjusting the coffee
grinder
The coffee grinder must not be
adjusted, at least initially, as it has
already been pre-set in the factory for
the correct delivery of the coffee.
Nonetheless, after having made the
first coffees, if delivery is too fast or
too slow (in drops), the grinding
coarseness must be adjusted using the
knob (Fig.17) located inside the bean
container.
These adjustments will only be evident
after the delivery of at least 2 cups of
coffee.
The grinder setting may be changed
1
only while coffee is being ground.
Making adjustments to the stationary
grinder can damage the coffee
machine.
0 Turn one click (one number) anticlock-
wise for finer ground coffee and consequently slower delivery and a
creamier appearance (Fig. 18).
0 Turn one click (one number) clockwise
for coarser ground coffee and consequently faster delivery (not a drop at a
time) (Fig. 18).
The machine has been tested in the
3
factory using coffee and therefore it is
completely normal to find some traces
of coffee in the grinder. The machine is
in any case guaranteed to be new.
6 Using pre-ground coffee
0 Press the button to select the
ground coffee function (Fig. 19).
The light switches on to indicate
that the function has been selected
and the coffee grinder has been disabled.
0 Lift the lid in the centre, insert one (for
1 cup) or two (for 2 cups) pre-ground
coffee measures in the funnel (Fig. 20).
0 Adjust the coffee quantity selector
knob (Fig. 10) to set the quantity of
coffee required.
Turning the knob clockwise makes a
longer coffee.
0 Place one cup under the spouts to
make 1 coffee or 2 cups for 2 coffees
(Fig. 11). For a creamy coffee, lower the
spouts to bring them as close to the
cups as possible (Fig. 12).
0 Press the button (Fig. 13) to make
one cup of coffee or the button
(Fig. 14) to make 2 coffees.
Note 1: Never add the ground coffee
3
when the machine is off, to prevent it
from spilling inside the machine.
Note 2: Never add more than 2 meas-
3
ures, otherwise either the machine will
not make the coffee and the preground coffee will be lost inside the
machine, dirtying it, or the coffee will
be run off in drips.
Note 3: When dosing the quantity of
3
coffee to be added, only use the measure supplied.
Note 4: Only use ground coffee for
3
espresso coffee makers: do not use coffee beans, freeze-dried coffee or other
materials that may damage the
machine.
Note 5: If you add more than two
3
measures of pre-ground coffee and the
funnel blocks, use a knife to push the
coffee down (Fig. 21) and then remove
and clean the infuser and the machine,
as described in section 9.3 „Cleaning
the infuser“, page 37.
0 Once the coffee has been delivered, to
make coffee using the beans again,
deactivate the ground coffee function
by pressing the button again (the
light goes off and the coffee grinder is
enabled for operation again).
Please observe also section 4 „Making
3
coffee with beans“, page 32, notes no.
3 - 7, 9 and 10.

7 Preparing hot water
0 Always make sure that the and
lights are on steady.
0 Turn the milk frother towards the out-
side of the machine (Fig. 6).
0 Position a container underneath the
milk frother (Fig. 6).
0 Turn the steam knob half a turn anti-
clockwise until it stops (Fig. 8): hot
water will come out of the milk frother
and start to fill the container underneath.
0 To stop the flow of hot water, turn the
steam knob all the way clockwise (Fig.
8) and return the milk frother to the
original position towards the centre of
the machine. (It is recommended to
deliver hot water for no more than 2
minutes).
8 Frothing milk
0 Fill a container with around 100 grams
of milk for each cappuccino being prepared. When choosing the size of the
container, remember that the volume
will increase by 2 or 3 times.
It is recommended to use partially
3
skimmed milk at fridge temperature.
0 Move the milk frother towards the
outside (Fig. 6).
0 Prepare the espresso coffee as
described in the corresponding sections, using sufficiently large cups.
0 Then press the steam button
(Fig. 22).
The light starts flashing to indicate
that the machine is heating up (the
and lights remain off to indicate
that it is not possible to make coffee).
When the light remains on steady
and stops flashing, the temperature of
the machine has reached the ideal
value for making the steam.
0 Immediately after, within a maximum
of two minutes (otherwise the machine
automatically returns to the coffee
function), dip the milk frother into the
container of milk (Fig. 23), and turn the
steam knob half a turn anticlockwise
until it stops (Fig. 8).
Be careful, to avoid being scalded.
1
Attention! Risk of impurities from
1
dried on milk residues in the milk
frother. Take care not to immerse the
milk frother in the milk far enough to
cover the air intake opening at the top
of the milk frother. Otherwise milk can
be sucked into the nozzle and cause
impurities in the milk frother.
The steam released will make the milk
froth and increase in volume. To make
creamier foam, dip the milk frother
into the milk and rotate the container
with slow movements from the bottom
to the top (you are recommended to
limit steam delivery to no more than
two minutes at a time).
0 Once having reached the desired tem-
perature, stop the steam by turning the
steam knob clockwise until it stops
(Fig. 8) and then press the steam
button (Fig. 22) to deactivate the
steam function.
0 Pour the frothed milk into the cups
containing the espresso coffee prepared previously. The cappuccino is
now ready (add sugar to taste and if
desired, sprinkle the foam with a little
cocoa powder).
Note 1: immediately after having pre-
3
pared the cappuccino, once having
pressed the steam button (Fig. 22)
to deactivate the function, the
machine is too hot to make coffee (the
and lights flash to indicate
that the temperature is not suitable);
simply wait around 10 minutes for the
machine to cool down a little.
Hint: To cool it down more quickly,
after having deactivated the steam
function, open the steam knob and
release some water from the milk
frother into a container, until the
and lights stop flashing.
35
g
8.1 Cleaning the milk frother
The milk frother must always be
cleaned after use.
0 Release a little steam for a few seconds
by turning the steam knob anticlockwise until it stops (Fig. 8).
With this operation, the steam spout discharges any milk that may be left inside.
Important: For reasons of hygiene, this
3
operation should always be performed,
so as to prevent the milk from remaining in the circuits inside the milk
frother.
0 Turn the knob clockwise as far as it will
go. Wait a couple of minutes for the
milk frother to cool down.
0 With one hand, hold the steam spout
handle firm and with the other disengage the bayonet connection of the
milk frother by turning it slightly
clockwise. Extract the milk frother
downwards (Fig. 24).
0 Remove the milk frother nozzle from
the delivery spout by pulling it downwards.
0 Carefully wash the milk frother and the
nozzle in warm water.
0 Check that the two holes indicated by
the arrows in Fig. 25 are not clogged. If
necessary, clean them using a needle or
pin.
0 Replace the milk frother nozzle by
inserting it and vigorously turning it
upwards onto the steam spout.
0 Replace the milk frother by pushing it
upwards and turning it anticlockwise
(Fig. 24).
9 Cleaning and Maintenance
Before performing any cleaning opera-
1
tions, the machine must have cooled
down and must be disconnected from
the mains power supply.
Never immerse the machine in the
water: it is an electrical appliance.
Do not use solvents or abrasive detergents to clean the coffee maker. A soft
damp cloth will suffice.
All the components of the machine
must not be washed in the dishwasher.
9.1 Cleaning the coffee maker
0 Clean the grounds container (as
described in section 9.2 „Emptying the
grounds container“, page 36 ) whenever the light comes on steady.
0 The water tank should be cleaned reg-
ularly.
0 The drip tray is fitted with a level indi-
cator (red) (Fig. 26) showing the level
of water inside. When the indicator
starts to become visible (a few millimetres under the drip tray), the drip tray
must be emptied and cleaned.
0 Check that the holes in the coffee
delivery spout are not blocked. To clean
them, scrape the dry coffee residues
with a needle (Fig. 27).
9.2 Emptying the grounds container
The appliance counts the number of
coffees made. Every 14 single coffees
(or 7 doubles) the light comes on to
indicate that the grounds container is
full and must be emptied and cleaned.
Until the grounds container has been
cleaned, the appliance cannot make
coffee.
0 To clean it, unlock and open the service
door by pushing the respective button
(Fig. 15), the light flashes.
0 Then remove the drip tray (Fig. 16), and
empty and clean it.

it thoroughly, making sure that all residues deposited on the bottom are
removed.
36
g
Important: Each time you pull out the
drip tray, the grounds container must
also be emptied, even if it is not completely full. If this is not done, when
coffee is next made, the grounds in the
container may exceed the maximum
level and block the appliance.
When the coffee machine is in daily
3
use, empty the container daily.
Always empty the container with the
coffee machine switched on, otherwise
the coffee machine does not register
that the container has been emptied.
9.3 Cleaning the infuser
The infuser must be cleaned regularly
to prevent it from filling with coffee
deposits (that may lead to malfunctions). To clean it, proceed as follows:
0 Turn the machine off by pressing the
button (Fig. 4) (do not unplug it)
and wait for all the indicator lights to
go off.
0 Open the service door (Fig. 15).
0 Remove the drip tray and the grounds
container (Fig. 16) and clean them.
0 Press the two red release buttons on
the infuser sideways and towards the
centre (Fig. 28) and pull it out.
Warning: the infuser can only be
1
removed when the machine is off.
Attempting to remove the infuser
with the machine on will risk causing
damage.
0 Wash the infuser under running water,
without using detergents.
Never wash the infuser in the dish-
1
washer.
0 Carefully clean the inside of the
machine. To remove the coffee stuck to
the parts inside the machine, scrape it
with a plastic or wooden fork (Fig. 29)
and then pick up all the residues using
a vacuum cleaner (Fig. 30).
0 Replace the infuser (Fig. 32, a) by
pushing it onto the holder (Fig. 32, b)
and pushing in the pin (Fig. 32, c). The
pin must be inserted into the pipe at
the bottom of the infuser (Fig. 32, d).
0 Then push the PUSH symbol (Fig. 32, e)
fully in until hearing the click.
0 Check that the two red buttons (Fig.
32, f) have opened back out, otherwise
the door cannot close.
Fig. 33: The two red buttons have
snapped out correctly.
Fig. 34: The two red buttons have not
snapped out.
Note 1: If the infuser is not inserted
3
correctly until hearing the click and
the two red buttons have not opened
out properly, the service door will not
close and the machine will not operate
(when switching on the machine the
light starts flashing).
Note 2: if it is hard to insert the
3
infuser, (before inserting it) squeeze it
into size by pressing it vigorously from
above and below at the same time, as
shown in Figure 31.
Note 3: if it is still hard to insert the
3
infuser, leave it out of the machine,
close the service door, unplug from the
mains then plug in again. Wait for all
the lights to go off, then open the door
and replace the infuser.
Then replace the drip tray, complete
with the grounds container, and close
the service door.
9.4 Descaling
Due to the continuous heating of the
water used to make the coffee, over
time it is normal for the tubing inside
the machine to fill with lime scale.
When the light starts flashing, it
is time to descale the machine.
Note: when the light switches
3
on, the coffee maker can still be used
to prepare coffee.
Proceed as follows:
0 Turn the machine on by pressing the

button (Fig. 7).
lights to come on steady.
37
g
0 Prepare the solution as indicated on
the packaging of the descaling product
supplied with the coffee maker:.
Pour the contents of the bottle of descaler (approx. 0.125 litres) into the
water tank and then add 1 litre water.
Important: Do not under any circum-
1
stances use any descalers which are not
recommended by AEG/Electrolux. If
other descaling agents are used, AEG/
Electrolux accepts no liability for any
damage. You can obtain descaling liquid from specialist retailers or from the
AEG/Electrolux Service Line.
0 Place a container with a minimum
capacity of 1.5 litres under the milk
frother (Fig. 6).
0 Press and hold the button for at
least 5 seconds. The light
switches on to indicate the start of the
descaling program (the and
lights remain off to indicate that it is
not possible to make coffee).
0 Turn the steam knob half a turn anti-
clockwise (Fig. 8). The descaling solution will come out of the milk frother
and start to fill the container underneath.
0 The descaling program automatically
performs a series of deliveries and
pauses, so as to remove the lime scale
deposits from inside the coffee maker.
0 After around 30 minutes, when the
light comes on, turn the steam knob
half a turn clockwise (Fig. 8) until it
stops.
The machine must be rinsed so as to
eliminate the residues of descaling
solution from inside the machine.
0 Remove the water tank, rinse it and fill
it with clean water.
0 Reposition the tank.
0 Empty the collection container
(located under the milk frother) that is
full of liquid, and then replace it under
the milk frother.
0 Turn the steam knob half a turn anti-
clockwise (Fig. 8). Hot water will come
out of the milk frother and fill the container underneath.
0 When the tank is empty, the
light goes off and the light comes
on.
0 Turn the steam knob all the way clock-
wise (Fig. 8) and fill the water tank
with clean water again.
The program of descaling is now terminated and the machine is ready to do
again the coffee.
Note: if the descaling procedure is
3
stopped before completion, the
alarm is not deactivated and the procedure must be started again from the
beginning.
Important: the guarantee is not valid
1
if the above descaling operation is
not performed regularly.
9.5 Setting the water hardness
The light switches on after a
preset period of operation, set in the
factory, considering the maximum
quantity of lime scale that may be
contained in the mains water. If necessary, this period of operation can be
extended, thus making the descaling
operation less frequent, by programming the machine based on the actual
lime content in the water used. You
can use the enclosed test strip to
determine the water hardness, or contact your local water supply company.
Determining water hardness
0 Dip the test strip in cold water for
around 1 second. Shake off the excess
water, and gauge the hardness by
means of the pink bands.
No pink bands or one pink band:
Hardness level 1, soft
up to 1.24 mmol/l, or
up to 7° German hardness, or
up to 12.6° French hardness
Two pink bands:
Hardness level 2, medium hard
up to 2.5 mmol/l, or
up to 14° German hardness, or
up to 25.2° French hardness
38
g
Three pink bands:
Hardness level 3, hard
up to 3.7 mmol/l, or
up to 21° German hardness, or
up to 37.8° French hardness
Four pink bands:
Hardness level 4, very hard
over 3.7 mmol/l or
over 21° German hardness, or
over 37.8° French hardness
Setting and saving the water hardness level
You can set 4 hardness levels. The coffee machine is factory-set to hardness
level 4.
0 Check that the machine is off (all the
indicator lights are off).
0 Press the button and hold it for
at least 5 seconds. The four lights ,
, and come on.
0 Press the button (Fig. 19) repeat-
edly until the number of lights that are
on coincides with the hardness level
(for example, to set hardness level 3,
press the button until 3 indicator lights
come on together, , and ).
0 Press the button to save the
data. The coffee maker is now programmed to provide the descaling
warning when effectively necessary,
based on the actual hardness of the
water.
