UK Instructions for use

Please read these instructions carefully before using
your Robot Café and keep them in a safe place.
With the entirely automatic Robot Café, you will rapidly master the art of
making genuine espresso, cappuccino or filter coffee.
Your Robot Café
Is equipped with :
•
a powerful 15-bar pump : for creamy coffee.
•
an in-built grinder : for freshly-ground coffee every time.
•
a system for pre-brewing the ground coffee : to bring out the full flavour.
It also allows you to adjust the following :
•
the amount of water per cup : for a large or small coffee (p.54).
•
the fineness of the grind : according to the degree of roasting (p.54).
•
the amount of ground coffee per cup : according to how strong you like
your coffee (p.55).
Golden rules
Try out several different types of coffee (vary the origins and degrees of
roasting).
Always use freshly-drawn water with a low mineral content (e.g. filtered
water). Clean your water tank once a week.
It is well worth taking a little trouble over the presentation : an espresso
should be served in a small, thick cup - conical, if possible -, so that all
the cream rises to the surface.
Preheat the cups.

Before you use your appliance for the first time
Installing your appliance
• Unwind the length of power cord you require.
NB : Your appliance has an in-built cord storage (= no trailing
flexes !).
• Remove the paper strip from the coffee bean compartment and
the documents from the water tank.
• Open the left-hand lid, lift up the tank by its handle and fill it with
freshly-drawn water.
Never put hot water in the tank.
Never fill it with water above the “MAX.” level.
• When you put the water tank back, push it right down in order
to free the valve at the bottom.
NB : You can also fill the tank directly, without removing it from
the machine.
• Close the lid.
• Plug the machine into an earthed socket.

Selecting the water hardness level
When ? The first time you use the appliance or if there is a change in the quality of your water.
As limescale is the main reason for machines failing to work properly, you must descale your
appliance to ensure that it has a long life span and remains in perfect working order. Your
Robot Café automatically warns you ( ) when it needs descaling. But first, you need to
select the level which corresponds to the hardness of your water.
Measuring the hardness of your water
• Use the tester supplied with your machine.
• Immerse it in cold water for one second, shake off any excess water and compare the result
with the table below.
Selecting the hardness level on your Robot Café
The Robot Café has five levels.
• Making sure your appliance is plugged in but not turned on, press the approx. 3- 4 seconds
➣
.
• Then press the same button briefly for as many times as it takes to reach the right
hardness level. The hardness level is determined by the number of indicator lights that come
on (cf. table below).
• To enter your hardness setting, press the button.
➣
All the indicator lights will go out.
NB : if 30 seconds elapse without any button being activated, the process will be
automatically discontinued (the lights will go out), without any modification to the previous
setting.
