Safety warnings
DANGER to children and people with a restricted capability of operating appliances
Children must not be allowed to play with the machine. Keep the machine and mains cord away from children under the age of 8.
This machine can be used by children aged 8 and over or
by people with reduced physical, sensory or mental capa­bilities, or who lack experience and/or knowledge, provided they are supervised or have
been trained in the safe use of
the machine and understand the potential dangers.
Children must not be allowed to clean the machine unless they are over 8 years of age and supervised while doing so. This machine is maintenance free.
Set up the machine out of the reach of children. Keep the packaging material out of the reach of children.
There is a risk of suffocation!
DANGER due to electricity
Never immerse the coffee machine, mains plug or mains cord in water, as this could cause an electric shock. Never touch the mains plug with wet hands. Do not use the machine outdoors.
Never leave the machine to operate unattended.
Only connect the machine to a properly installed, grounded wall socket. The mains voltage must comply with the requirements stated in the machine’s technical specifica­tions.
The mains cord must not be kinked or squeezed. Keep it
away from sharp edges and sources of heat. Do not use the machine if the machine, mains cord or
mains plug is damaged or if the machine has been dropped.
Do not make any mo
difications to the machine, mains cord or other parts. Electrical appliances must only be repaired by qualified electricians, as improper repairs can cause considerable damage. Only have repairs carried out by a specialist workshop, or contact the customer care service.
Remove the mains plug from the wall socket...
... if a fault occurs, ... if the machine will not be used for any length of time, ... before cleaning the machine. To unplug, always pull on the mains plug, not the cord.
WARNING – risk of scalds/burns
Do not touch the coffee spout during or immediately after use. Avoid contact with coffee being dispensed from the spout.

Page 4
Do not raise the lever while the machine is being used. Keep the capsule opening closed and do not pull out the used capsule container.
CAUTION – risk of injuries or material damage
Use only original Tchibo Cafissimo capsules. Neither use
capsules from other manufacturers, nor damaged or mis­shapen capsules, and never fill capsules or the machine with ground coffee or instant coffee, as this would damage the machine. In these cases, any necessary repairs would not be covered by the warranty.
Only use the machine with the used capsule container and drip grid inserted.
Always pour fresh, cold tap or other drinking water into the water tank. Do not use carbonated mineral water or any other liquids.
Descale the machine as soon as the machine indicates that this is necessary.
The capsule compartment c
ontains two capsule punchers. These punchers pierce both sides of the capsule when the lever is pressed down. Never reach into the capsule com­partment. Keep your fingers and any objects away from the capsule compartment as you fold down the lever.
Do not lift the machine up by the lever. To move the machine, hold it by the outer casing.
Place the machine on a solid, level surface that is well
illuminated and resistant to water and heat. To ensure that the casing does not melt, do not place the
machine on a hob or immediately next to a hot oven, radi­ator or anything similar.
Route the mains cord in such a way that it cannot be
tripped over. Do not let the mains cord hang down from the surface the machine is put on so that the machine cannot be pulled down by it.
The machine is equipped with n
on-slip feet. Work surfaces often have varnished or plastic finishes and are treated with a variety of care products. Some of these may contain substances that react adversely to the non-slip feet and soften them. If necessary, place a non-slip mat under the machine.
The machine must not be exposed to temperatures
below 4°C. Residual water in the heating system could freeze and cause damage.

The finest aroma – the finest flavour
After switching the machine on for the first time or if you have not used the machine for longer than two days, rinse the machine by allowing two cups of water to flow through it (without a capsule).
1. Fill the water tank with fresh, cold tap water or drinking water up to the MAX mark.

2. Place a cup beneath the coffee spout.
3. Fold back the lever as far as it will insert a capsule as illustrated with the lid facing forwards.
The capsule must be intact: Do not pierce it and do not remove the capsule lid or insert a misshapen capsule!
4. Fold the lever fully down.
This action pierces the base and lid of the capsule.

If the coffee is too weak, you can stop the water flow prematurely bym pressing the flashing coffee button.
If the c
offe
e is too strong, start the brewing procedure again withoutm inserting a new capsule. Press the button as soon as sufficient water has run through.
Default settings (amounts are approximate): Espresso 40 ml I Caffè crema 125 ml I Filter coffee 125 ml
The water quantity can be set to between approx. 30 and 300 ml.
Setting the strength permanently (saving the setting)
You can change the factory settings for the water flow permanently. This enables you to make your favourite coffee every time at exactly the strength you prefer. You can customise the setting for e

crema (yellow cup) and filter coffee (blue cup).
Proceed in the same way as for brewing coffee: Fill the water tank, insert a1. capsule and place a cup beneath the spout.
Press and hold the relevant coffee button until the required quantity of coffee2. has been dispensed into the cup.
When you release the button, the machine will save that quantity.3.
If the settings are not to your taste, simply repea again.
Restoring the factory settings

Standby
The machine automatically switches to standby mode 9 minutes after the brewing procedure. The three coffee buttons go out. The machine now uses only a very small amount of electricity but is ready for use at any time. Press one of the coffee buttons or move the lever to reactivate the machine.
Switching off completely
If you are not using the machine for any length of time, e.g. over completely using the On/Off switch on the side of the machine. This means that it will not use up any more electricity.

Descaling
CAUTION – damage to the machine due to limescale deposits
Descale the machine as soon as the machine indicates that this is necessary (after approx. 50 litres).
This increases its service life and saves energy. Do not use any descaling agents made on the basis of formic acid.• Use a standard, liquid, descaling agent suitable for coffee and espresso
machines. Other agents may damage materials in the ma no effect.
Tip: Descaling agent: durgol®swiss espresso®is available from any Tchibo branch
and from specialist retailers.
If the indicator light lights up yellow and 3 signals sound, the machine needs to be descaled. Do this within the next couple of days. Do not wait any longer, otherwise so much limescale may collect that a descaling agent will no longer have any effect.
Descaling takes about 50 minutes.

If the indicator light is flashing red, the water tank is empty. Fill it and press a coffee button to fill the pipes with water again.
The water in the system expands as the machine heats up and as a result a little water drips out of the coffee spout.
During brewing, the water is pressed through the capsule at high pressure. If at the end the lever is moved, the machine loses pressure and coffee escapes. This is a fea­ture of the system and is not a fault. For this reason, you should not remove the cup with the freshly brewed coffee f

There are coffee grounds in the cup.
The coffee is not hot enough.
The indicator light lights up yellow.
It is not possible to press down the lever.
A small residue of coffee grounds always remains at the bottom of the cup. This is a feature of the system and is not a fault.
Especially in the case of espresso, the quantity of coffee is so small compared with the size of the cup that it quickly cools down. Preheat the cup by filling it with hot water and pouring it away shortly before using the cup.
The machine needs to be descaled. Do this within the next couple of days. Do not wait any longer, otherwise so much limescale may collect that a descaling agent will no longer have any effect. A self-induced defect of this kind will not be covered by the warranty. Proceed as described in the section “Descaling”.
Check whether the used capsule container is full. Empty it if necessary.
If a capsule is trapped in the compartment, fold the lever fully back and press the capsule through from the top to the bottom. Do not reinsert a capsule if it is misshapen.
