PREPARING THE MACHINE
• Remove the appliance from the packaging,
checking that the product is whole and that all
the parts are there.
• Position the appliance on a work surface away
from water.
• If you use large cups, use the reducer grill (5a)
making it slide into the drip tray (5b) (fig. 8).
• If you use small cups, use the reducer grill (5a)
positioning it above the drip tray (5b) (fig. 9).
• Open the reservoir lid (9) (fig. 1), remove the water reservoir (8) (fig. 2) and wash it with clean cold
water.
• Fill up the reservoir (8) only with clean cold water,
replace it in the machine and close the lid. Do not
use sparkling water or other liquids to fill the reservoir.
• Plug the power lead (7) into a suitable socket with
an earth connection.
• Switch on the appliance by pressing the power
switch (6) (fig. 3). The red light of the
switch/indicator will come on (3).
Wait until the light becomes green. At this point
you can make coffee.
ENGLISH
WARNING:
• The first time you use the appliance, it is important to carry out a wash cycle as described
in the paragraph “MAINTENANCE”.
• Whenever the machine is turned on, it is recommended to brew only water for a few seconds, without introducing any capsules, so
as to stabilise the temperature and clean
brewing parts.
• After the first time the green light comes on,
coffee can be regularly dispensed even if the
red switch/indicator light (3) is on. The alternation of the red or green light is due to the normal heating cycle of the boiler.
PREPARING THE COFFEE
• Place a cup under the coffee dispenser (4).
• Open the lever of the capsule compartment (1)
and place the capsule in the compartment (2), in
KUBOX
the position suggested by the shape of the latter.
Close the door pushing it home (fig. 4).
• ATTENTION: the capsule is pushed automatically into the compartment by closing the
lever (1) pushing it all the way down. Do not
use your fingers for any reason to push the
capsule.
• Press the coffee dispenser switch/indicator light
(3). A few moments later, the coffee will start to
come out. Once the desired quantity of coffee
has been dispensed, press the switch/indicator
light again (3) to stop delivery. You can thus prepare a long or short coffee according to preference, by simply dosing the quantity delivered.
• The used capsule will automatically fall into the
special drawer (5c) every time the lever is opened (1). The used capsule drawer must be
emptied frequently to prevent the accumulation of used capsules from clogging the exit
channel.
• To empty the capsule collection and drip drawer
(5) proceed as follows:
- Remove the drawer (5) from the appliance (fig.
6).
- Separate the drip drawer (5b) from the capsule
drawer (5c) (fig. 7) and empty them.
- Fit the parts back into the appliance.
MAINTENANCE
• Before attempting any maintenance operation,
make sure to always disconnect the appliance
from the mains.
• To clean the body of the appliance, simply use a
moist cloth. Do not use solvents or detergents as
these could damage the plastic surfaces.
• Empty the capsule drawer (5c) and the drip tray
(5b) regularly.
• Wash the accessories with water and detergent.
• Never wash any part in a dishwasher.
CLEANING CYCLE
Run the cleaning cycle once a year for an average
use of 3 capsules per day. For greater use, run it
earlier. For greater use, run it earlier.
Proceed as follows:
• Fill the reservoir (8) with water and add a bottle
of Clean Espresso, a special descaling and degreasing product, following the instructions on
the package.
• Place a large container under the coffee outlet
• Open the lever (1) of the capsule compartment,
make sure that the capsule falls into the capsule
20
KUBOX
collecting compartment, and close it by pushing
it home.
• Pressing the dispenser switch/indicator light(3):
the machine will dispense water. Repeat this
operation until all the water in the reservoir has
been emptied (8).
• Repeat the process with water only, without
Clean Espresso.
• At the end of the process the machine is ready
for brewing drinks.
To clean and maintain your Polti capsule coffeemaker, we recommend using the Clean Espresso
cleaning kit (item code PAEU0176).
Clean Espresso cleans and protects, extending the
life of your coffeemaker thanks to two new, specifically designed formulas (decalcifying and degreasing).
Clean Espresso is available at
www.aromapolti.com or by calling the number
0845 1776584
If you decide to use the CLEAN ESPRESSO cleaning kit, we recommend repeating the action described at point 8 of the instruction manual at least
three times, in order to rinse the insides of the
machine thoroughly
