Safety instructions (continued)
EN
Refer to the instructions for use of all
cleaning and descaling agents before
use and comply with the safety regulations.
Never use a damaged or deformed capsule. Only use drink capsules marked
with the K-fee® system logo that are intended for the machine.
Capsules to be used!
Only use original K-fee® system capsules! Look for the red K-fee® system logo and the characteristic fluted
shape of the capsules.
Using non-original capsules involves the
following risks:
1. Health hazards
When using non-original capsules, differences in the brewing process and
the capsule design can cause hot water
to escape under high pressure - risk of
scalding!
2. Damage to the machine and warranty
When using non-original capsules, differences in the brewing process and the
capsule design will cause damage to the
machine which means that any warranty
claims may be forfeited!
The manufacturer and his distribution
partner cannot be held liable for any
injury or damage which is the direct
or indirect result of non-original capsules being used with this machine.

Use the rotary scale
to set the month
for the next filter
change. The hardness of the
water determines the service life of the water filter
(see water hardness table
on page 37). For an average
consumption of one full water tank per day we recommend a filter change:
every 3 months soft water
every 2 months medium-
hard water
every 1 to 2 months hard water

Evaporate
remaining water
EN
With this function, any remaining water in the
machine is evaporated and removed. This prevents any residual water freezing in the machine
when the machine is transported or stored at
temperatures below freezing point.
CAUTION
Extreme temperatures can cause dam-
age to the machine (permitted operating temperature 10 - 45°C). For this reason the
machine
- must be protected against frost,
- must not be used at temperatures below 10°C,
- must not be used at temperatures over 45°C.
Procedure
• If necessary, warm up the machine until it
reaches room temperature.
• Open and close the lever in order to eject any
existing capsule.
• Take out and empty the water tank.
• Ensure that the machine is switched off.
WARNING
Risk of scalding! The evaporation process results in hot steam (up to 120°C)
and hot water.
Do not reach under the spout and maintain a
safe distance from the spout.
• Hold the „small cup“ and the rinsing button
depressed at the same time. Now press the
on/off button. Evaporation starts and the
„large cup“ button flashes green.
• After the evaporation process the machine
switches off automatically.
• Re-insert the empty water tank.
• Empty and dry the drip tray and spent capsule
container.
• Use a dry cloth to wipe the front of the housing.

Frequently Asked
Questions
EN
The machine will only work
with capsules marked with
the K-fee® system logo.
Is the drink dispensing process delayed?
The machine will re-adjust the temperature for the requested drink.
Is the spent capsule container overfull and jammed?
Try to remove the spent capsule container by jogging the container gently to and fro.
Is the drink not hot enough?
Pre-warm the cup. If necessary, descale the machine – see the "Descale the machine every month"
section.
Are all buttons flashing at a fast rate?
Switch the machine off and remove the plug from the mains supply. If the problem persists, please
inform Customer Service.
Is the drink not dispensed properly?
Push the lever fully down. If necessary, descale the machine – see the "Descale the machine every
month" section.
Do I have to descale the machine if I am using the water filter?
If the water filter is regularly changed, no descaling is necessary. Nevertheless, it is possible that
mineral deposits occur depending on the water quality and the machine location. For this reason we
recommend an annual cleansing/rinsing process using a K-fee® system descaler.
Does the machine suddenly switch off during a period of intensive use?
If the cooling-down period is too short, the machine switches itself off as protection against overheating. In this case allow the machine to cool down for about 30 minutes before using it again.
Does the machine switch itself off?
The machine switches off automatically if it is unused for more than 5 minutes. Please remember that
the machine uses power as long as it is plugged into the mains socket (< 0.5 W).
