First installation
For first installation, follow the instructions on the separate quick start guide.
Note: This machine has been tested with coffee. Although it has been
carefully cleaned, there may be some coffee residues left. We guarantee,
however, that the machine is absolutely new.
Note: You can install the AquaClean filter during the first installation
procedure (see separate quick start guide). If you skip installation of the
AquaClean filter at first use, you can install it later by entering the menu.
AquaClean filter
The AquaClean filter is designed to reduce limescale deposits in your coffee
machine and provide filtered water to preserve the aroma and flavor of each
cup of coffee. If you use a series of 8 AquaClean filters as indicated in this
user manual, you don't have to descale your machine for 5000 cups.
Note: Your machine has to be completely limescale-free before you start to
use the AquaClean filter. If you did not activate the filter during first
installation, you need to descale the machine before you activate the filter.
Activating the AquaClean filter
Note: Always confirm activation of the AquaClean filter in the machine menu
as described below. You also need to do this after replacing the AquaClean
filter. By activating the AquaClean filter in the machine menu, the machine
monitors the number of filters used. When the filter has been replaced 8
times, the machine reminds you to descale it.
1 For instructions on how to prepare the AquaClean filter for use, see the
separate quick start guide.

Brewing coffee
Brewing coffee with beans
Caution: Only use espresso beans. Never put ground coffee, unroasted

cause damage to the machine.
To brew coffee, follow the instructions on the separate quick start guide.
To brew two cups of espresso or espresso lungo, press the button of the
desired beverage twice. The machine automatically carries out two grinding
cycles in sequence.
Note: Using the cover of the bean hopper helps to keep the beans fresh.
Brewing coffee with pre-ground coffee
When you brew coffee with pre-ground coffee, use the measuring scoop
supplied to put the correct dose in the pre-ground coffee compartment. Do
not add too much pre-ground coffee to avoid the coffee grounds drawer
from getting clogged.
1 Open the lid of the pre-ground coffee compartment.
