Switching the appliance on and off
Main switch
The main switch is used to switch the appliance on and
off.
If the appliance is switched off at the main switch, the
power supply is interrupted.
The appliance is programmed so that it automatically
switches off after 30 minutes. This time period can be
changed (see Automatic shut-off in section Basic settings).
The appliance rinses automatically when it is switched
on at the main switch. Exception: The appliance was
only switched off a few minutes beforehand.
Hibernate mode
The appliance goes into hibernation mode if the
function selector is turned to 0 or if the child lock is
activated.
The brightness of the display is dimmed in hibernation
mode.
Notes
‒ In the basic settings, you can set whether the
Gaggenau logo is to be displayed during
hibernation mode (see section Basic settings).
‒ The brightness of the display depends on the
vertical viewing angle. You can adjust the display
using the "Brightness" setting in the basic settings.
Activating the appliance
To exit hibernation mode, turn the function selector or
touch the control panel.
Note: Do not press the main switch during operation. If
you want to manually switch off the appliance, you must
first set the function selector to 0 so that it rinses
automatically. Then switch off the appliance using the
main switch.
You can now set the required function. Please refer to
the corresponding sections for information on how to
set functions.
Notes
‒ The hibernation mode display will reappear if no
setting is made for a long period of time after
activation. The display light goes out.
‒ If no drip tray is inserted, the appliance cannot be
switched on and no water will flow out of the coffee
dispenser.
The message "Insert trays" appears. This message
also appears if the drip tray is pulled out during
hibernation mode. The message disappears when
the drip tray is reinserted. The appliance returns to
hibernation mode.

1 Switch on the appliance at the main switch.
The preset language appears in the display.
Setting the water hardness
It is important to set the water hardness correctly, so
that the appliance indicates accurately when the
descaling programme should be run. The default water
hardness is level 4. If a water softener is installed in the
house, please set the water hardness to level 3. You can
check the water hardness using the enclosed test strip
or by asking your local water supplier.

The appliance can be pulled out from the built-in unit.
There are two options:
▯ Turn the function selector to @ or position 2 and
touch the # symbol (the appliance must be
switched on to do this)
- or -
▯ Remove the shelf and pull on the handle below that

The appliance is in pull-out position 1.
This position allows you to load water, beans, ground
coffee and cleaning/descaling tablets and remove or
replace the accessories and quick reference guide from
the right-hand side of the unit.
If you need to pull the appliance out fully, press
the # symbol again and manually move the appliance
into pull-out position 2 or simply pull the appliance all
the way out using the handle.
Operation with or without a water filter
You can use the appliance with or without a water filter.
To ensure that the descaling display of the appliance
functions correctly, you must state in the basic settings
whether a water filter is used.
1 Turn the function selector to S.
2 Select "Basic settings" using the rotary selector. 3 Touch the ™ symbol.
4 Select "Water filter" using the rotary selector. 5 Touch the % symbol.
6 Use the rotary selector to select either "Available"

and the grinding level adjusted. Now push the appliance
back into the built-in unit as far as it will go.
The automatic pull-out function is blocked during the
brewing process.
5 Touch the ™ symbol.
6 Place a 0.5-litre container under the coffee
dispenser.
7 Confirm using ™ and start by using I.

into the container. After the rinsing process, confirm
with ™ and empty the container; the appliance is once
again ready for use.
11
Page 12
Rinsing the filter also activates the setting for the
"Change water filter" display. When the display "Please
change water filter" is shown, or at the latest after two
months, the filter is no longer effective. It needs to be
replaced for reasons of hygiene and so that the
appliance does not experience a build-up of limescale
(which could damage the appliance).
New filters can be obtained from the after-sales service
(see section
Detailed information on the water filter can be found in
the enclosed filter instructions.
Note: If the appliance has not been used for a long
period of time (due to holidays, for example), the filter
that is fitted should be rinsed before using the
appliance. To do this, simply dispense a cup of hot
water.

Note: Coffee beans that have been glazed or
caramelised, or that contain other sugary additives,
block the brewing unit. Only use pure bean mixes
that are suitable for use in fully automatic espresso
machines.
6 Slide the appliance into the built-in unit as far as it
will go.

Preparing beverages
Beverage selection
Notes
‒ When first using the appliance or when it has not
been used for a long time, the first cup of coffee
does not have the full aroma.
‒ After starting up the appliance, a fine-pored and
firm "crema" will be achieved continuously after
several cups have been dispensed.
‒ The appliance is programmed with the standard
factory settings for optimal operation.
Aroma function
The longer the coffee is brewed, the more bitter
substances and unwanted flavours are released. The
taste and digestibility of the coffee is thus affected.
Your appliance therefore has a special Aroma function
for very strong coffee. After half the requested volume
has been prepared, coffee is ground and brewed once
more, so that only the palatable and easily digestible
flavours are released.
Preparing coffee using freshly ground beans
The appliance must be switched on. The water tank and
bean container must be filled.

Daily maintenance and cleaning
Daily maintenance
Every time the appliance is switched on or switched to
0, it rinses automatically. Exception: the appliance was
only switched off a few minutes beforehand or no coffee
was dispensed before it was switched to 0.
m Risk of electric shock!
Before cleaning the appliance, switch it off using the
main switch. Do not use a steam cleaner.
Caution!
Surface damage!
‒ Do not use any cleaning agents containing alcohol
or spirits.
‒ Do not use concentrated acetic acid or citric acid-
based cleaning agents or essences.
‒ Do not use abrasive cloths or cleaning agents.
‒ Always remove any residues of limescale, coffee,
milk and descaling solution immediately. Such
residues may cause surfaces to corrode.
‒ New sponge cloths may contain salts. Salts can
cause rust film on stainless steel and must
therefore always be washed out thoroughly before
use.
Notes
‒ The drip tray and coffee dregs container should be
emptied and cleaned every day in order to prevent
deposits.
‒ If the appliance has not been used for a prolonged
period of time (e.g. while you are on holiday), clean
the entire appliance thoroughly, including the milk
system and brewing unit.
