1. PREPARING THE CoffeeTEC
1.1 Before First Use
a. After unpacking your CoffeeTEC
clean all the loose parts with warm
water and make yourself familar
with the different functions.
b. After reading these instructions, let
some water run through the coffee
maker to clean all internal parts.
1.2 Setting the Clock and Timer
When you plug in the CoffeeTEC the
green display will flash “AM 12:00”
and all indicator lights are off.
To set the current time:
Turn and hold the program knob to
the left (hours) to set the hours (see
fig. 2; S). While you are doing this,
watch the AM change to PM. Then
turn and hold the program knob to
the right (minutes) and set the min-
utes (see fig. 2; S).
To set the programmed time:
a. Push the program button (see fig.
2; S). The Program light (see fig. 2;
Q) will go on and the display will
show “AM 12:00.”
b. Turn and hold the program knob to
the left (hours) to set the hours.
While you are doing this, watch the
AM change to PM. Then turn and
hold the program knob to the right
(minutes) and set the minutes.
Within four seconds, the display will
revert to the current time and the
program light will turn off.
c. To change the programmed time,
push the program button (see fig. 2;
S). It will show the programmed
time. Then set the time as
described above in step b.
d. To check the programmed time,
push the program button. The
display will show the time you have
programmed to brew coffee. The
display will switch back by itself to
the current time after a few seconds.
Attention: Flashing LCD Display
(see fig. 2; L)
If you unplug the coffee maker for
more than 15 seconds or if you have
a power failure, you will lose the cur-
rent time and program settings. The
display will flash “AM 12:00” indicat-
ing that you have to reset the current
and programmed time.
1.3 Priming the frothXpress system
Before using the CoffeeTEC for the
first time to make coffee or to froth
please proceed as follows:
1. Remove water tank.
2. Fill only the lower part of the water
tank about half full (see fig. 10)
3. Replace water tank and push down
so that it engages properly.
4. Turn machine on (button P, fig 2)
5. Within 60 seconds the green Steam
Ready Light will go on (R, fig. 2).
6. Place a large cup underneath the
steam nozzle.
7. Wait approx. 30 seconds. Turn the
Steam Selector Switch (T, fig. 2) all
the way to the right - to the "Steam
On" position – until you feel resistance.
8. Allow steam to release for 30 sec.*
9. Turn the Steam Selector Switch
back to the "Steam Off" position to
stop the steam action.
10. The frother is now primed and
ready for use on a regular basis.
11. Turn the machine off (push button
P, fig, 2; the red light M will go off).
*Attention:
If steaming should stop
by itself before 30 seconds are up,
turn the Steam Selector Switch back
to "Steam Off" and wait until the
green Steam Ready Light turns on
again (this will take approx. 2 minutes).
Then repeat steps (6) through (11) one
more time. The frother should now
steam without interruption for 30
seconds or longer.
