Basic Operation
Things to Know Before You Start
If you push the cafe latte, latte, or cappuccino button, the coffee
system will display a ”Please Milk Clean” message
about two hours after the last milk drink was dispensed.
The message will appear even if no milk was in the milk
compartment at the time the button was pushed.
“Clean Group” will appear on the display when the
coffee system needs a routine cleaning. The “Clean
Group” message will disappear after you follow the
Routine Cleaning Instructions on page 37.
A small amount of dripping from the dispensers is normal after
drinks are dispensed.
This coffee system is designed to make one (in some cases two) hot
drink(s) at a time.
Drink volume may vary due to coffee type, grind time, temperature,
tamping time, and pre-brewing time.
For proper operation, clean your coffee system regularly according to
the cleaning schedule on page 34.
When the coffee system makes coffee, it dumps the
used coffee grounds into the used coffee ground bin. You
must empty out the bin when it becomes full. “Drawer
Full” will appear on the display. See the Routine Cleaning
Instructions on page 37.
The coffee system purges water into the drip tray to
ensure that the water used for drink making is hot.
Empty out the drip tray when it starts to get full.
CAUTION
Use only filtered water with a
hardness of 4 gpg or lower. See
Before Your Coffee System is
Installed on page 10.
WARNING
On model CM24T-1, clean the water
tank daily to avoid sickness due to
