Important safety instructions
Application
This appliance is designed for
-
making filter coffee, caffè crema and espresso, using Tchibo Cafissimo capsules,
-
frothing milk,
-
dispensing hot water.
This appliance is only intended for domestic use and not for commercial applications.
No responsibility will be accepted if damage results from improper use, or if these
instructions are not complied with.
Risk for children/adults
● This appliance is not intended for use by any person (including children) with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lacking experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
● Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
● Keep children well away from packaging materials, where there might be a risk of
suffocation.
20
Caution: risk of electric shock
● To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not immerse the appliance, power cord or plug in
water.
● Do not operate the appliance outdoors.
● Always position the appliance in such a way that children cannot reach it.
● Do not leave the appliance unattended while in use.
● Before the appliance is used, the main unit as well as any attachment fitted should be
checked thoroughly for any defects. Should the appliance, for instance, have been
dropped onto a hard surface, it must no longer be used: even invisible damage may have
adverse effects on the operational safety of the appliance.
● The power cord should be regularly examined for any signs of damage. In the event of
such damage being found, the appliance must no longer be used.
● In order to comply with safety regulations and to avoid hazards, repairs of electrical
appliances must be carried out by qualified personnel, including the replacement of the
power cord. If repairs are needed, please send the appliance to one of our customer
service departments. The addresses can be found in the appendix to this manual.
● Remove the plug from the wall socket
- before removing or fitting the water tank,
- when filling the tank with water,
- every time after use,
- in case of any malfunction,
- if the appliance is not being used for an extended period of time,
- before cleaning.
Caution:
risk of scalding/burns
● Caution: steam as well as hot water can cause severe burns. Protect your body and body
parts at all times from contact with escaping steam or hot water. Do not touch any hot
parts of the appliance (e.g. steam tube). Do not use the steam or frothing functions
unless a suitable container has been placed under the frothing nozzle.
● Caution: do not unlock the operating lever (upper position) to remove the capsule
holder.
Caution: risk of injuries
● The capsule holder as well as its cradle each contain a sharp spike, which pierces the
capsule from above and below when it is inserted. Do not touch these spikes. If you need
to move the unit, always hold it by its exterior housing.
Caution: material damage
● To protect the housing from melting or damage, do not store the unit on or near hot
surfaces (e.g. oven plates) or near heaters.
● Always place the unit on a level surface, impervious to water and heat.
● The unit has non-slip feet. As most kitchen work-surfaces are coated with various
lacquer or plastic materials which are then treated with numerous cleaning agents, it
cannot be completely ruled out that some of those materials contain substances which
may react with the feet, i.e. soften them up. To prevent this, a suitable non-slip mat
should be placed under the appliance.
● The unit must not be subjected to temperatures below 1°C, as the remaining water inside
the system could freeze and cause damage.
● Fill the tank with cold tap water only. Always use fresh water. Do not use carbonated
21
mineral waters or similarly unsuitable liquids.
● The appliance should be descaled on a regular basis, as described in the section
‘Descaling’.
● When removing the plug from the wall socket, never pull on the power cord; always grip
the plug itself.
● The power cord should be kept well away from sharp edges and heat sources of any kind.
● The power cord should be routed in such a way that no one can accidentally trip over it.
Cafissimo capsule-system
This appliance is based on a single-cup system, using aroma-fresh Tchibo coffee capsules.
Each cup is therefore brewed separately and has its own fresh, aromatic flavour.
The ready-packed and specially sealed capsules contain single coffee portions and are
available in different varieties:
-
filter coffee
-
caffè Crema
-
espresso
They are available at any Tchibo outlet.
The colour of the capsules corresponds to the colour-coding of the different selector buttons
on the unit, allowing the user to select the desired type of coffee.
-
blue = Filter coffee
-
yellow = Caffè Crema
-
black = Espresso
Each button represents the different brewing pressure used to force water through the
capsule. The particular pressure helps to develop the unique character and taste of the type
of coffee selected. Normal filter coffee is brewed with a relatively low pressure, while caffè
crema and espresso require a medium and high pressure respectively. The appliance
operates with a maximum pump pressure of 15 bar.
Note: the bottom of the espresso capsule looks slightly different from the other two. Also,
with all three types of coffee, some residual coffee grounds will remain in the cup. This is
perfectly normal and not a defect.
How it works
When the operating lever is pulled down, the capsule holder containing the capsule is
pushed up into the appliance, causing the top and bottom of the capsule to be pierced. The
resulting holes are necessary for the water to pass through the capsule during the brewing
process.
To ensure that each type of coffee is brewed with the right pressure, the unit has separate
selector buttons for each.
The brewing process starts as the selector button for the desired type is pressed. Hot water is
pressure-forced through the upper hole in the capsule and exits through the bottom hole
straight into the cup placed underneath. Your filter coffee, caffè crema or espresso is now
ready.
The capsules must be inserted as they are:
-
do not pull the lid off
-
do not puncture.
The capsule
The capsules offer variety as well as aromatic freshness.
The advantages at a glance:

-
hermetically sealed for aromatic freshness
-
pre-measured portions
-
directly ready for use
-
quick and clean preparation
-
various tastes available
Start-up
Before using for the first time
Unpacking and setting up the unit
-
Unpack the unit and remove all adhesive tapes. The capsule holder
is packed separately. Always place the unit on a level surface,
impervious to water and heat.
-
Place the capsule-holder in its cradle and pull the operating lever all
the way down.
Preparing the unit
-
Turn the rotary control clockwise as far as it will go to ensure that
the frothing nozzle is closed.
-
Check that the frothing nozzle is properly and securely fitted. The
ribbed ring on the inner sleeve must be secured hand-tight by
turning it to the left.
Filling the tank with water
-
Remove the water tank by lifting it straight out.
-
Fill the tank up to the Max-mark with clean, cold tap water. Do not use carbonated
mineral waters or similarly unsuitable liquids.
-
Replace the water tank and push it down to ensure that the valve in
the bottom is open.
-
To facilitate filling or cleaning the tank, the small lid can be taken
off. To replace or remove the lid, bring it up in a vertical position
and then slide it down or pull it out of the guide pegs.
Filling the system with water
-
Insert the plug into a suitable wall outlet.
The unit has a power-cord storage compartment which can be used
for any excess length of the cord. Always push the cord down at the
exit cut-out in order to grip it safely.
-
Use the On/Off switch to turn the unit on. All selector buttons as
well as the ‘Water tank empty’ display start flashing.
-
Place a suitable container underneath the frothing nozzle. Turn the
rotary control anti-clockwise all the way.
The pump will now force water into the internal circuit system. The noise generated by
the pump is initially quite distinct, but will decrease as the system fills with water.
Once the system is sufficiently filled, a little excess water will be emitted through the
nozzle into the container placed underneath, and the pump will automatically stop. Once
