1. Safety information / 2. Initial start-up
• Possible damage caused by incorrect, improper use or unqualified repair works
will not be subject to liability. In these cases warranty claims become void.
• Please use the integrated coffee grinder for roasted and untreated beans only,
never for other foodstuffs! Please make sure there are no foreign substances

the dealer from whom it was purchased – or to NIVONA national customer
services.
• If the appliance’s power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its customer service or a similarly qualified person to avoid danger.
Attention: Repairs to electrical appliances must only be undertaken by a professional! Improper repairs may result in severe danger for the user! Should
the appliance be used or maintained improperly or incorrect, the warranty
shall become void!
Attention: Using the on/off switch (fig.1/J) during the brewing process may
damage the appliance! Turn the appliance off only after it has finished the
job.
Attention: Risk of burning! When drawing steam or hot water, a shot of hot
water may spray from the coffee spout. Allow the spout to cool down before
you touch it.
2. Initial start-up
2.1. Getting started
➔ Unpack the appliance and all items belonging to it with care.
The following are included in the package contents:
• User Manual
• Warranty card
• Measuring spoon with assembly instruction for lter insert
• Two cleaning tabs
• One Claris lter
• One testing strip for water hardness
Note: In case of customer service being required, the appliance should be shipped in its original packaging. Please keep this safe, including the polystyrene parts.
➔ Place the appliance on a at, dry and suitable surface.
➔ Plug the power cord into a professionally installed mains socket.
➔ Your appliance has a power cord bay – if the cable is too long, place the excessive length in the
power cord bay at the back (g. 1/T)
68
2. Initial start-up
2.2. The most important controls
Your NIVONA coffee maker offers a variety of options to brew coffee according to your individual
needs. The main controls and how to use them are identical for most of the coffee specialities.
• Rotary-Push-Turn-Switch (short: rotary control) (g. 1/B): By turning the rotary control the set
value is altered. By pressing the rotary control the set value is conrmed.
• Button > (g. 1/C): By pushing button > the menu moves onto the next item.
• Exit button (g. 1/D): By pushing the exit button you leave the respective menu and move back
one menu level. A coffee making process that has been started can be cancelled by pushing the
exit button.
• Height adjustable spout (g. 1/E): The spout can be adjusted to the height of your cups and
glasses by pushing it up or down.
2.3. Filling with water and beans
➔ Open the cover on the left (g. 1/F) and remove the water tank (g. 2). Clean it with clear, cold
tap water.
➔ Rell the water tank to maximum and insert it back in the appliance. Make sure the tank is safely
locked in place.
Attention: Only use clear, cold water for the water tank! Never use sparkling water or any other liquids!
Non-compliance will render warranty claims void.
➔ Firstly open the appliance cover on the right (g. 1/G) and then the bean container’s cover (g. 3).
➔ Fill with untreated, roasted coffee beans only.
➔ Close both covers again.
Attention: Never use beans that have been treated during or after roasting with supplements like sugar
or similar. This may cause damages to the mill. Resulting repairs are not covered by the warranty.
2.4. Switching appliance on and performing initial start
➔ Switch the appliance on with the on/off switch (g. 1/H).
Please set the following basic settings before you start brewing your rst coffee:
Setting the language
➔ Turn the rotary control to select your language.
➔ Press the rotary control to conrm your setting.
The display will now ask “INSERT FILTER?”
2.4.1. Using the appliance with lter
Included in the box contents is a Claris lter. When using this lter, the appliance needs to be
descaled less frequently as it softens the water.
➔ Turn the rotary control to “INSERT FILTER? YES” for the appliance to recognize that a lter is in
use.
➔ Press the rotary control. The display shows “INSERT FILTER”.
➔ Empty the water tank (g. 1/F and 2) and carefully screw the lter into the respective slot in the
water tank, using the integrated tool at the end of the measuring spoon (g. 4).
Attention: Do not overtighten or break.
➔ Fill the tank with fresh water and insert it back into the appliance.
➔ Place a sufciently large bowl (minimum contents 0.5 l) under the spout (g. 1/E) and press the
rotary control.
The system is now being ushed. The display shows “FILTER FLUSHES”.
➔ Wait until no more water emerges from the spout.
The display shows “NIVONA”.
69
2. Initial start-up
Followed by “PLEASE Flush”.
➔ Press the rotary control.
The display shows “SYSTEM FLUSHES”.
Once the system has reached operating temperature, the main menu will appear in the display to
show that the appliance is ready for use.
The rst cup: When you prepare your rst cup of coffee the grinder will be empty. It is possible that
after the initial grinding the display will show “REFILL BEANS” and no coffee is produced.
➔ In case that happens, please follow the display’s instruction and press the rotary control again.
The process will then be repeated.
Note: If you are using a lter and programmed the system to “FILTER INSERTED? YES”, the internal
water softening is automatically set to water hardness level 1! The appliance needs descaling less
frequently – but always descale when asked to do so and always with FILTER REMOVED. The lter will
be at after approx. 50 l of water have been drawn (changing lter see chapter 3.1).
Attention: Even if the display does not indicate “PLEASE CHANGE FILTER“, the lter needs changing after
a maximum of two months if the appliance is not used regularly (see chapter 5.8.).
2.4.2. Using the appliance without lter
If you prefer to use the appliance without lter, the lter setting “FILTER INSERTED? NO” needs
to be set. This is important because depending on the water hardness the appliance needs to be
descaled more often (ex-factory the appliance comes with the setting “FILTER INSERTED? NO”!).
➔ Turn the rotary control to “FILTER INSERTED? NO”.
➔ Press rotary control to conrm.
The display shows the level of water hardness.
Note: For production reasons the internal pipes may be empty when setting the appliance up for the
rst time. The appliance will show this as follows: on the display it says „PLEASE FILL”, once the appliance has been switched on with the On/Off switch (g. 1/H).
➔ Place a sufciently large bowl (minimum contents 0.5 l) under the spout.
➔ Press rotary control.
The system is being lled with water which may emerge from the spout (g. 1/E).
Once the system has reached production temperature, the display shows “PLEASE RINSE”.
➔ Press rotary control.
The system is now being lled with water.
2.4.3. Adjusting the water hardness
Depending on the water hardness in your area, the appliance needs to be descaled every now and
again. For the system to be able to indicate that this is necessary, you need to set the correct water
hardness prior to rst use.
Level 3 is the ex-factory pre-set level.
First test the water quality with the enclosed test strip:
➔ Dip the test strip into the water and shake it lightly.
➔ After about one minute you will be able to read the result by counting the red dots on the test strip.
➔ The different levels are listed as follows and can be adjusted:
Test strip / Degree of hardness = Display
1 red dot / 1–7° = LEVEL 1
2 red dots / 8–14° = LEVEL 2
3 red dots / 15–21° = LEVEL 3
4 red dots / >21° = LEVEL 4
