4.5 Emptying the drip tray and
coffee grounds container
After a set number of dispensing opera-
tions, the appliance will ask you to drain
the drip tray and the coffee grounds con-
tainer. The protruding float also shows you
when it is time to empty the drip tray.
The drip tray can be pulled forwards out of
the appliance. Always empty both the drip
tray and also the coffee grounds container.
Then, make sure you push the drip tray
into the appliance up to the stop.
If you empty the drip tray while the appli-
ance is not switched on, the appliance
does not register this process. Therefore,
it is possible that you are asked to empty
the containers even though the drip tray
and the coffee grounds container are not
yet full.
5 Preparing beverages
Observe the following instructions during
preparation:
ƒ
The water tank should be sufficiently
full. If the filling level is too low, the
appliance requests you to refill it.
ƒ
There should be sufficient coffee beans
in the 2-chamber bean container. The
appliance asks you to refill only if there
are no more coffee beans in the bean
chamber and the grinder has ground
itself empty.
ƒ
When preparing a beverage with milk,
connect the filled milk container or a
commercially available milk pack. The
appliance does not indicate a lack of
milk.
ƒ
The vessels for the beverages should be
sufficiently large.
ƒ
The display needs to show the Ready
display.
ƒ
Start the preparation by pressing the
corresponding direct key. Observe the
messages in the display during prepa-
ration.
ƒ
You can end preparation prematurely by
pressing the direct key again.
ƒ
The preparation is ended automatically.
ƒ
After a beverage has been prepared
with milk, the appliance will ask you to
start the Easy cleaning programme. You
can, however, prepare further beverages
and run the Easy cleaning programme
later. Observe the instructions in sec-
tion 8.5, page 26.
5.1 Preparing beverages with
recipes
You can prepare other beverage speciali-
ties with the appliance, e.g. an Americano.
ƒ
You access the list of recipes by pressing
the "my recipes" button briefly several
times.
ƒ
Alternatively you can open the list of
recipes directly by pressing the "my reci-
pes" button for longer than 2 seconds.
After you select a recipe, the beverage
dispensing starts immediately.
5.2 Preparing two beverages
simultaneously
You can prepare two cups of some bever-
ages at the same time. To do this, you first
need to press the button "2×". You can then
either press a direct key or select a recipe.
This setting only applies to the current
preparation. If a beverage is not prepared
within 1 minute, the appliance switches to
single-cup dispensing.
The "2×" button cannot be used for mixed
beverages that are mixed with hot water
