ENGLISH
Heating up the machine
During the initial heat-up process, fresh water ows through the internal circuit to
heat up the machine. This takes a few seconds.
1 Place a bowl under the hot water/steam wand or classic milk frother and the
coffee spout. Make sure the control dial points to the coffee bean icon.
2 Press the on/off button.
3 When the warning light ashes quickly, turn the control dial to the hot water
icon and wait a few seconds.
- The warning light goes out and some water comes out of the hot water/
steam wand or classic milk frother.
4 After a few seconds, when hot water stops coming out of the hot water/steam
wand and the warning light ashes slowly, turn the control dial back to the
coffee bean icon.
- The machine is heating up and the on/off button ashes slowly.
- When the machine has heated up, it performs an automatic rinsing cycle to clean the internal circuit with fresh water. Water ows from the coffee spout.
- When the on/off button lights up continuously, the machine is ready for the manual rinsing cycle.
Note: You can stop the automatic rinsing cycle by pressing the espresso button or the regular coffee button.
Note: The automatic rinsing cycle also takes place 15 minutes after the appliance switches to standby mode or switches off.
ENGLISH
Manual rinsing cycle
During the manual rinsing cycle, the machine brews one cup of coffee to prepare the inner circuit for use.
1 Place a bowl under the coffee spout.
2 Make sure the on/off button lights up continuously.
3 Press the regular coffee button.
- The machine starts to brew a cup of coffee to prepare the inner circuit for use. This coffee is not drinkable.
4 Empty the bowl after the brewing cycle is nished.
5 Place a bowl under the hot water/steam wand or classic milk frother.

ENGLISH
9 Fill the water tank with fresh water up to the MAX indication.
- The machine is ready for use.
Note: The rst cups of coffee may be a bit watery, this is normal. The machine
needs to complete a few brewing cycles to optimise its settings.
Installing the Intenza+ water lter
We advise you to install the Intenza+ water lter as this prevents scale build-up in your machine. You can buy the Intenza+ water lter separately. For more details,
see chapter ‘Guarantee and support’, section ‘Ordering maintenance products’.
1 Remove the small white lter from the water tank and store it in a dry place.
Note: Please keep the small white lter for future use. You will need it for the
descaling process.
2 Remove the lter from its packaging and immerse it in cold water with the
opening pointing upwards. Press the sides of the lter gently to let out the air
bubbles.
3 Turn the knob of the lter to the setting that corresponds to the water hardness
of the area you live in.
A Soft water
B Hard water (default)
C Very hard water
Note: You can test the water hardness with a water hardness test strip.
ENGLISH
4 Place the lter in the empty water tank. Press it down until it cannot move any
further.
5 Fill the water tank with fresh water up to the MAX indication and slide it into the
machine.
6 Let the machine brew hot water until the water tank is empty (see chapter
‘Using the machine’, section ‘Hot water’).
7 Rell the water tank with fresh water up to the MAX indication and slide it back
into the machine.

- The on/off button lights up continuously.
The machine is ready for use.
Using the machine
To guarantee perfect espresso, the machine regularly rinses its inner circuit with water. This automatic rinsing cycle takes place 15 minutes after the appliance switches to standby mode or switches off. During the automatic rinsing cycle,
some of the water ows through the inner circuit directly into the drip tray. Empty
the drip tray regularly.
Brewing 1 or 2 cups of espresso or regular co󰀨ee
1 Make sure the on/off button lights up green continuously and the control dial
points to the coffee bean icon.
2 Place 1 or 2 cups on the drip tray grid.
3 Press the espresso button or regular coffee button.
Note: You can interrupt the brewing cycle at any time. To do this, press the same
button (for espresso or regular coffee) that you pressed to start brewing coffee.
12
12
ENGLISH
- Press the espresso button or regular coffee button once to brew 1 cup of coffee.
- The machine grinds the required amount of coffee beans for one cup and
then brews one cup of coffee.
- Press the espresso button or regular coffee button twice to brew
2 cups of coffee.
- The 2-cup light lights up. The machine grinds the required amount of coffee
beans for one cup and then lls both cups half. Then the machine grinds coffee beans for one cup again and lls both cups fully.
4 Press the on/off button to switch off the machine.
- If you only brewed one cup of coffee, the machine briey rinses the inner circuit before it switches off.
Note: When the machine is left in standby mode, it switches off automatically after 30 minutes.
Frothing milk
If you want to froth milk after switching on the machine or after brewing a cup of coffee, there may still be some water in the internal circuit. You need to let this water ow out of the machine rst.
1 Place a big cup under the hot water/steam wand or classic milk frother.
2 Turn the control dial to the steam icon.
- The on/off button ashes while the water heats up.
- Hot water comes out of the hot water/steam wand or classic milk frother.
3 When only steam comes out of the hot water/steam wand or classic milk
frother, turn the control dial back to the coffee bean icon.
ENGLISH
4 Fill a jug up to 1/3 with cold milk.
Note: Use cold milk (at a temperature of approximately 5°C/41°F) with a protein
content of at least 3% to ensure an optimal frothing result. You can use whole milk or semi-skimmed milk, depending on your preference.
5 Immerse the hot water/steam wand or classic milk frother in the milk and turn
the control dial to the steam icon. Froth the milk by gently swirling the jug and moving it up and down.
6 When the milk froth has the desired consistency, turn the control dial back to
the coffee bean icon.
After frothing milk, the machine needs to cool down before you can brew coffee. Follow the next steps.
1 Press the espresso button or regular coffee button.
- The on/off button ashes rapidly to indicate that the machine is overheated and cannot brew coffee.
2 Place a bowl under the hot water/steam wand or classic milk frother and turn
the control dial to the hot water icon.
3 Hot water comes out of the hot water/steam wand or classic milk frother.
4 Wait until the water ow stops and the on/off button lights up continuously.
5 Turn the control dial back to the coffee bean icon.

Adjusting the machine
You can adjust the grinding degree and coffee volume to obtain coffee that is perfectly customised to your taste.
Adjusting the grinding degree
You can adjust the grinding degree of the machine. At each grinding degree selected, the ceramic coffee grinder guarantees a perfectly even grind for every cup of coffee you brew. It preserves the full coffee aroma and delivers the perfect taste to every cup.
1 Press the grinding degree adjustment knob rmly (1) and then turn it one notch
at a time (2). There are 5 different grinding degree settings you can choose
from. The smaller the dot, the stronger the coffee. The difference becomes noticeable after you have brewed 2-3 cups of coffee at the new setting.
Warning: Do not turn the grinding degree adjustment knob more than one notch at a time to prevent damage to the grinder.
