Technical Data

Power consumption: 1365 W Mains voltage: 220 - 240 V

This appliance complies with the fol-

;

lowing EC directives: – 73/23/EEC dated 19.02.1973 “Low

Voltage Directive”, including Amending Directive 93/68/EEC

– 89/336/EEC dated 03.05.1989 “EMC

Directive”, including Amending Directive 92/31/EEC

Cord Compartment (Figure 4)

Your espresso machine has a cord compartment in the base of the casing for storing surplus cord.

Water Filter

The espresso machine is fitted with a water filter. This water filter helps to remove the majority of such elements as chlorine from tap water that might otherwise spoil the flavour. This allows the full flavour of your espresso to develop. In addition, the lime content in the water is greatly reduced when the water filter is used.

Inserting and changing the water filter

0 Remove the water filter that comes

with the appliance from its plastic packaging and rinse it thoroughly under running water.

0 Raise the lid at the top of the water

tank (Figure 1/B).

0 Insert the water filter into the holder

at the bottom of the water tank and turn (Figure 5). Ensure that the filter is fully and correctly in place!

0 Fill the water tank with tap water and

insert.

0 Rinse the filter cartridge with at least

half a tank of water. To do this, proceed as described in the section To heat water. The water might become slightly discoloured (not damaging to health).

The tap water is filtered as soon as it is drawn in by the pump.

Please note that the filter cartridge must be replaced either after approx. 500 cups of espresso have been brewed or after 6 weeks (whichever is the sooner). The cartridge cannot be cleaned and must be replaced with a new one.

Important: Regardless of how often

the appliance has been used the water filter must be changed without fail at the latest after 2 months in order to avoid a build-up of bacteria in the filter.

A special revolving disk is located on

the lid of the water filter on which the date of the next filter change can be set.

You can obtain a replacement water filter either from a specialist dealer (E-No. 900 084 951/4) or from your nearest AEG customer service centre (ET-No. 900 084 951/4).

Before Using for the First Time

Before making espresso for the first time you should run a tankful of water through the machine without using espresso coffee in order to clean the heating system. Proceed exactly as described in the following section “To prepare espresso” but do not put any ground coffee in the filter. Place as large a receptacle as possible in the middle of the drip grid beneath the two filter holder outlets and beneath the steam nozzle (Figure 1/D).

Page 7

To Prepare Espresso

After brewing, the espresso should be

covered with a thick, frothy layer known as the crema. The most important factors in making a full-flavoured espresso with crema are fresh water, the correct size of espresso coffee grounds and water temperature.

Preparation

Important: Use only cold, clear water

to fill the water tank. Do not use mineral water, distilled water, milk or other liquids!

We recommend pre-warming the

appliance, filter holder and cup before preparing the first cup of espresso. By doing this you will always obtain an evenly heated espresso.

0 Open the water tank lid. 0 Remove the water tank by the handle

and fill it with cold, clear water (Figure 6).

0 Replace the water tank. 0 Switch the appliance on using the on/

off switch (Figure 2/A). The indicator (red) is illuminated.

When the temperature indicator (Figure 1/Q) is illuminated the espresso machine is ready for use.

Filling with espresso coffee (Figure 8)

0 Depending on whether you want to

brew one or two cups of espresso, insert the 1 cup crema-plus filter (Figure 1/K) or the 2 cup crema-plus filter (Figure 1/L) into the filter holder.

Important: Do not put in any espresso coffee when using the appliance for the first time!

0 Use the measuring spoon (Figure 1/N)

to measure the espresso coffee into the filter and level off.

0 Clean any excess coffee from the rim

of the filter holder.

Inserting the filter holder

0 Turn the filter holder to the right in the

retaining ring until it locks audibly into place (Figure 9).

Check that the arrow on the finger guard on the filter holder is pointing to the brew head.

Brewing espresso

0 Place one or two cups beneath the fil-

ter holder discharge outlet (Figure 10).

0 Turn the selector dial (Figure 1/P)

clockwise to the “espresso preparation” position (Figure 11/A).

0 When the required quantity of espresso

has been brewed, turn the selector dial anti-clockwise back to the 0 position (Figure 11/B).

Important: To give you a fully satisfying espresso, each time you turn the selector dial back to the 0 position after preparing an espresso or using the steam/hot water mode any remaining water is fed into the drip tray. This guarantees that each cup of espresso is prepared with fresh water. The drip tray should, therefore, be emptied regularly.

Removing the filter holder (Figure 12)

0 Turn the filter holder to the left and

remove from the retaining ring. If you are not going to use the appli-

ance for a lengthy period, do not refit the filter holder. In this way you extend the lifetime of the seal on the brew filter.

Cleaning the filter and filter holder

The filter and filter holder should be cleaned after each use.

0 Push the finger guard on the filter

holder forwards with your thumb.

0 Tap the used espresso grounds out of

the filter holder and filter (Figure 13).

Take care to keep pressing the finger guard with your thumb as otherwise the filter will fall out.

Page 8

0 Remove the filter from the filter

holder.

0 Clean the filter thoroughly with warm

water. Make certain that there are no espresso coffee grounds remaining in the small holes in the filter.

0 Rinse the filter holder in warm water.

Information: Do not clean the filter holder in a dishwasher.

To Froth or Heat up Milk

You can make cappuccino, café au lait and cocoa, or even just heat up water or milk (for example as a drink with honey against colds) using the frothed milk spout (Figure 3/A, B, C, D).

Assembling and attaching the frothed milk spout (Figures 14, 15 and 16)

0 Insert the knob for regulating the froth

(Figure 14/A) into the suction piece (Figure 14/B) and press firmly into place.

0 Insert the suction piece (Figure 14/B)

into the connector (Figure 14/D), and connect the milk discharge outlet (Figure 14/C) to the connector (Figure 14/D).

0 Firmly push the complete frothed milk

spout onto the nozzle (Figure 1/D) until the red seal is no longer visible and attach the receptacle (Figure 15).

Information: You can also suck up the milk directly from the carton using the flexible hose (Figures 14/E and 16). Check that the milk carton does not exceed the height of the frothed milk spout. The flexible hose must be inserted down into the milk carton.

0 To do this, attach the hose to the

frothed milk spout and insert the other end into the milk carton.

0 Place a cup under the steam nozzle

(Figure 1/D).

0 Position the switch (Figure 2/B) to

“steam mode” .

0 Turn the selector dial (Figure 1/P) to

the warm up position (Figure 11/C). When the temperature indicator (Fig-

ure 1/Q) is illuminated the espresso machine is ready for use.

0 Turn the selector dial (Figure 1/P) to

the steam or hot water position

(Figure 11/D).

The milk will be sucked out of the receptacle. It is then mixed with steam in the frothed milk spout, and at the same time heated and frothed up. The frothed-up milk flows through the milk discharge outlet into the waiting cup.

Important: Using the knob for regulating the froth (Figure 3/A) you can set the amount of froth (more or less added air) and the temperature of the milk to your taste (Figure 17/A, B, C). To do this turn the knob slowly to the right or to the left until you achieve the desired result.

Figure 17/A: maximum froth/

warm milk Figure 17/B: no froth Figure 17/C: less froth/hot milk

0 After making the frothed milk, turn the

selector dial (Figure 1/P) back to the 0 position.

Important! After each frothing procedure it is essential that the frothed milk spout is cleaned thoroughly as described in the section, Cleaning, Cleaning the frothed milk spout (Figure 19).

Preparing cappuccino

For one serving of cappuccino, half or two thirds fill a large cup with espresso and then add the frothed milk.

Preparing cocoa

0 Put cocoa powder into the receptacle

(Figure 1/F) together with the milk.

0 Attach the receptacle to the frothed

milk spout (Figure 1/E).

0 Now proceed as for frothing milk.

Page 9

Heating water

Important: When heating water the

suction piece (Figure 3/B) must always be fitted and the knob for regulating the foam (Figure 3/A) must always be closed (Figure 18). Otherwise hot water could spray out of the side of the connector (Figure (3/D).

0 Turn the switch (Figure 2/B) to the “hot

water” position .

0 Place a container beneath the steam

nozzle (Figure 1/D).

0 Turn the selector dial (Figure 1/P)

to the “hot water” position (Figure 11/D). Hot water will emerge from the steam nozzle.

0 Once the required quantity of hot

water has been produced, turn the selector dial (Figure 1/P) back to the 0 position (Figure 11/B).

Cleaning

Always unplug the appliance from the mains and allow the espresso machine to cool down before cleaning.

Clean the appliance casing with a damp cloth, but never immerse it in water!

Cleaning the filter and filter holder

Proceed as described in the section To prepare espresso, Cleaning the filter and filter holder.

Cleaning the fresh water container

0 Dispose of any water remaining in the

fresh water container and clean it if necessary in ordinary washing-up water.

Cleaning the frothed milk spout (Figure 19)

Important: Clean all parts that have

come into contact with milk (frothed milk spout, receptacle including lid and feed pipe, steam nozzle, flexible hose, drip tray and drip grid) in ordinary washing-up water immediately after use!

Check that you wash not only the individual parts of the frothed milk spout (Figure 19/B, C, D), but particularly the knob for regulating the froth (Figure 19/A).

During the frothing procedure milk deposits can form in the crevice on the knob (Figure 19/A “arrow”). As these deposits can impair the frothing result, we recommend that the part indicated in the figure with an “arrow” should be cleaned particularly thoroughly. Finally, rinse the parts with clear water and dry them.

Do not clean these parts in a dishwasher as this could damage the seals.

Cleaning the drip grid and drip tray

The drip tray can be removed for cleaning with the aid of the fingersized cavities on the right and left sides. Lift the drip tray and pull it forwards and away from the appliance base (Figure 20). You can wash the drip tray and drip grid in ordinary washingup water.

Cleaning the brew head and brew filter

Once it has been used for a while the brew head should be cleaned with a damp cloth. If it is particularly soiled, unscrew the brew filter using a coin (Figure 21) and clean it under running water.

To Descale – and Keep your Espresso Machine in Good Condition for Longer

The service life of your espresso machine can be lengthened with regular descaling. As a precaution we recommend descaling every three months. For areas with hard water more frequent descaling is required. If the water filter is used the appliance needs to be descaled less often.

For descaling use a liquid, environmentally-friendly descaling agent availa-

Page 10

ble generally at retail outlets. Only use it in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Do not use a formic acid based descaler.

0 Unplug the appliance from the mains

and allow it to cool.

It is important that you also remove the brew filter on the brew head (Figure 21). Unscrew the steam nozzle (Figure 1/D) and remove the water filter from the water tank!

0 Insert the filter holder without the fil-

ter.

0 Place a sufficiently large container

under the filter holder. Important: First fill the water tank

with 0.5 l of water, then add the appropriate amount of descaling agent as recommended by the manufacturer. Never do this the other way round!

0 Insert the plug in the socket and switch

the appliance on using the on/off switch (Figure 2/A).

0 Turn the selector dial (Figure 1/P) to

the “espresso preparation” position (Figure 11/A) and allow approx. a quarter of the descaling solution to run through the system.

0 Switch off the appliance using the on/

off switch and allow the descaling solution to take effect for approx. 10 minutes.

0 Repeat the procedure, allowing a fur-

ther quarter of the solution to run through the system.

Descaling the nozzle

0 Place a sufficiently large container

under the nozzle.

0 Turn the switch (2/B) to the “hot

water” position .

0 Turn the selector dial (Figure 1/P)

to the “steam” or “hot water” position

and allow a further quarter of the descaling solution to flow through the system.

0 Switch off the appliance using the on/

off switch and allow the descaling solution to take effect for approx. 10 minutes.

0 Repeat the procedure, allowing a fur-

ther quarter of the solution to run through the system.

The water tank must be completely cleaned of all traces of descaling solution.

0 Fill the water tank with fresh water. 0 Pump half of the water through the

filter holder as described above, and allow the other half to run through the steam nozzle.

0 Replace the brew filter and the water

filter.

0 Replace the nozzle.

Repeat the descaling procedure if there is heavy scaling.
