GB
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.
Information
If you empty the drip tray
while the appliance is switched off, 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 will ask you to refill it.
ƒ
There should be sufficient coffee beans
in the bean container. The appliance
asks you to refill only if there are no
more coffee beans in the bean con-
tainer and the grinder has ground itself
empty.
ƒ
When you prepare a beverage with
milk, you need to connect a vessel
filled with milk. The appliance does not
indicate a lack of milk.
ƒ
The vessels for the beverages should be
sufficiently large. The beverage quantity
varies according to the beverage.
ƒ
The
Ready display should be lit up.
ƒ
Start the preparation by pressing the
corresponding direct key. Observe the
displays during preparation.
ƒ
Set the required beverage quantity with
the "Coffee Quantity" regulator.
ƒ
Press the direct key again to end prepa-
ration.
ƒ
The preparation ends automatically.
You should clean the milk system after
preparing milk beverages. This prevents
the formation of bacteria that are harmful
to health.
The illuminated Clean and
Steam dispensing displays indicate that you
need to clean the milk system. You can,
however, prepare more milk beverages and
then clean the milk system.
1. Immerse the hose in a vessel filled with
clear tap water (approx. 150 ml).
2.
Press the "Milk froth" direct key for
longer than 2 seconds.
Also observe the instructions in section 7.3,
page 27 and section 7.4, page 27.
5.1 Preparing two beverages
simultaneously
You can prepare two cups at the same time
with all of the beverages. To do so, you sim-
ply need to press the respective direct key
briefly twice in succession. The 2× display
lights up during preparation. The Steam
dispensing display flashes in addition for
milk beverages.
5.2 Changing settings
You can still change the brewing strength
and the beverage quantity before and
during preparation.
You can set the brewing strength by press-
ing the "Brewing Strength" button. After
the grinding process, you can no longer
change the brewing strength.
The changed brewing strength will also be
used for subsequent coffee preparation
processes.
You can change the beverage quantity by
turning the "Coffee Quantity" regulator.
5.3 Setting the grinding
fineness
The grinding fineness of the coffee beans
influences the flavour of the coffee. The
finer you set the grinding fineness, the
stronger the coffee.
The grinding fineness has been optimally
set at the factory. Change the grinding
fineness setting at the earliest after about
100 coffee dispensing processes (after
approx. 1 month, depending on coffee
consumption).
You can set the grinding fineness optimally
with the "Grinding Fineness Adjustment"
lever. Adjust the grinding fineness only
during the grinding process.
