REQUIRED WATER QUALITY
The water hardness and the frequency of usage determine the frequency of desca-
ling. As a rule of thumb, descale the appliance after approx. 2 weeks or, at the
latest, when the descaling message is shown (see: ‘Descaling the Water System’).
CAUTION
– Excessive deposits of scale (lime) in the water system will dama-
ge the machine.
The manufacturer will not be liable for any damage caused by
excessive build-up of scale or the usage of unsuited descaling agents.
For daily
operation, only use clear, cold tap water or a low-mineral, non-carbonated table
water.
DO NOT
use any other type of water (e.g. highly filtered or demineralized
water) or any other liquids or additives. Even descaling may only be performed by
using the descaler mentioned in this booklet (see: ‘Descaling the Water System’).
IMPORTANT -
If your tap water is hard (above 250ppm / 8.5 °e), we recom-
mend to use another water quality. Low-mineral table water reduces the frequency
of descaling. Additionally, it may improve the taste or your coffee. Test the water
hardness of the used water or ask the bottling plant (when using bottled table
water) for the appropriate information.
When using tap water, you may ask your local water works for the water hardness.
However, please consider that the water hardness of your water depends on the
condition of the water pipes of your house also. Therefore, it is best to use an appro-
priate test strip for measuring the water hardness (see: ‘Before First Use / Determi-
ning the Water Hartness’). Adjust the water hardness setting accordingly.
IMPORTANT -
When changing the water quality, you should change the water
hardness setting as well. You get access to the appropriate page via the command
“Guide and Setting / Maintenance / Water hardness” (see: ‘Entering Your Own
Settings / Operating Data of the Machine’).
We recommend to empty and refill the water at least daily.
SEVERAL PRE-PROGRAMMED COFFEE-BASED BEVERAGES
The appliance offers pre-programmed functions for 9 different coffee drinks and a
separate function for texturing milk. Just select the desired composition on the screen
and let the appliance lead you through the preparation. The optimum amount of
coffee powder (“Grinding amount”), extraction volume (“Size”), and, if required, the
texture of the milk (“Froth amount”) are pre-defined.
However, you can change these values according to your liking and save your
changes (see: ‘Memory Function’ and ‘Entering Your Own Settings’).
ADJUSTABLE BREWING TEMPERATURE
You can pre-select the brewing temperature for your coffee drinks. This way, even
special coffee preferences are enabled (see: ‘Entering Your Own Settings / Chan-
ging the Coffee Temperature’).
AUTOMATICALLY CONTROLLED GRINDER
Your new espresso machine is equipped with an integrated, high-grade grinder. The
grind size is continuously variable (see: ‘Operation / Brewing Coffee’). Instructions
on adjusting the grind size are given via the machine. Select the commands “Guide
and Settings / Guide and Info / Grinding Guide / Adjusting grinding”.
The grinding amount is controlled automatically via the machine and can be filled
directly into the espresso filter. You may adjust the grinding amount within a wide
useful range (see: ‘Entering Your Own Settings / Adjusting the Grinder’). These fea-
tures allow a reproduceable extraction result according to your liking.
For cleaning the grinder, you can remove the grinder sleeve. Thereafter, the grin-
der is easily be cleaned via the provided cleaning brush (see: ‘Care and Clea-
ning / Cleaning the Grinder’).
TEXTURING MILK
For one of the coffee beverages and all milk-based beverages, hot milk with various
amounts of froth is required. Via the steam wand different types of cold, fresh milk
can be textured (frothed up) and simultaneously heated. For this, the appliance gives
off steam with extremely high temperature and high pressure via of the steam wand.
You can control this function by selecting the desired froth amount. When using the
provided milk jug, the optimum performance is reached.
TEA AND HOT WATER WITH VARIOUS TEMPERATURES
The espresso machine offers a hot water function for making tea, hot chocolate or
other hot drinks. For this, use the beverage type “Tea”. The hot water is given off via
the steam wand. The machine provides different temperature values for each type of
tea. The tea types are sorted from left to right with ascending water temperatures.
Select the appropriate tea type according to the table below, if you wish to make
other hot drinks. For example: For preparing most instant drinks, you should select
“White Tea”. This may enable to enjoy your drink immediately.
NOTE
You may use the tea function for warming your cups and / or the filter holder,
before making espresso. In this case, select “Black Tea”.
