Brief description
Brief description
Unlike standard coffee machines, this
appliance has a container for coffee
beans so that they can be freshly
ground for each cup for the best flavor.
First the ground coffee is moistened
with hot water (pre-brewing), to develop the aroma. Then hot water is
forced at high pressure through the
ground coffee. The pre-brewing process is optional.
The used coffee grinds are automatically emptied into the waste unit, so
there is no need to remove the grinds
after each cup.
The size of cup (max. 1 cup or 250 ml)
can be programmed in so that the correct amount of coffee is dispensed. If
the cup being used has a smaller capacity than the programmed cup size,
dispensing can be stopped at any time
by pressing one of the coffee serving
buttons.
If two cups of coffee or espresso are
needed at the same time, the appropriate coffee portion button must be
pressed twice. The machine will fill the
cups in two stages, a few seconds
apart.
The light can be turned on independently of operation.
As a safety feature, power is turned off
as soon as the front of the appliance is
opened. There is also a system lock
to prevent children from operating the
machine.
The easy to use programming allows
the coffee system’s features to be cus-
tomized to each household.
To fully develop and maintain the flavor
of espresso, the appliance has an additional feature to prewarm the system.
Hot water from the hot water spout can
be used to pre-warm cups.
The appliance can be programmed to
switch to standby mode so it is always
ready for operation but does not consume unnecessary electricity. This can
be programmed to happen between 15
minutes and 12 hours 45 minutes after
coffee was last dispensed.
To save time when preparing coffee for
a number of people, pre-grind can be
selected, so there is always a portion of
ground coffee ready for brewing.
The machine can be programmed to
grind from 6 to 9g of coffee. The programmed quantity will be the same for
all serving sizes (espresso, coffee,
large coffee). Only the amount of water
will change.
The fineness to which the coffee is
ground can also be programmed in.
The hot water from the hot water spout
is at an ideal temperature for making
tea.

Setting the water hardness
For easy operation of the coffee machine, and to ensure that the descaling indicator comes on at the appropriate time, it is important to program the water
hardness. The water hardness indicates how much
calcium is dissolved in the water. The higher the calcium content, the harder the water is.
The machine monitors the volume of water passing
through it in conjunction with the hardness of the
water. Descaling will have to be done more often for
hard water.
The local water authority will be able to tell you the
hardness of water in your area or you can measure
the hardness yourself using the enclosed test strip:
Dip the strip in your drinking water for one second, then shake off any excess water.
The result will be evident after a minute.
If the hardness level exceeds 40 gr/gal (approx.
700 ppm), the water must be mixed with noncarbonated mineral water in a proportion of 1:1,
otherwise scale will develop too quickly. Never
use distilled water.
15
Programming the appliance
Use programming option “Water hardness” to program the water hardness.
There are four programmable levels:
Level
