When using the espresso machine for the
first time, you will achieve a suitably thick
and stable “crema” only after the first few
cups have been dispensed.
After extended use, water droplets may
form on the ventilation slots. This is normal.
Water i lter
A water i lter can prevent scale buildup.
Before a new water i lter is used, it must be
rinsed. To do this, proceed as follows:
1. Press the water i lter i rmly into the wa-
ter tank with the aid of the measuring
spoon (18).
2. Fill the water tank (16) with water up to
the max mark.
3. Press and hold the
e
off /
j
button (12)
for at least three seconds. The menu
opens.
4. Press the
e
off /
j
button (12) repeat-
edly until the display shows
No / Old
filter
.
5. Select
Activate filter
with the upper
rotary knob (14).
6. Press the start button (10).
7. Place a receptacle with a capacity of 0.5
litres under the outlet (6c).
8. Press the start button (10).
9. Pull the milk frother (6) to open it.
10. Water will now l ow through the i lter to
rinse it.
11. Push the milk frother (6) in to close it.
12. Empty the container.
The appliance is ready to use once more.
Note: Rinsing the i lter simultaneously acti-
vates the setting for the

display.
The i lter is no longer effective when the
Change filter!
display appears, or at the
latest after 2 months. It needs to be re-
placed for reasons of hygiene and so that
there is no build-up of limescale (this could
damage the appliance).
Replacement i lters can be obtained from
retailers (TZ70003) or from customer serv-
ice (467873). If no new i lter is used, turn
the
filter
setting to
No / Old
.
Note: You can use the i lter indicator to
mark the month in which you inserted the
i lter. You can also mark the month in which
you will need to replace the i lter next (at
the latest after two months).
Note: If the appliance has not been used
for a prolonged period (e.g. vacation) the
i lter should be rinsed before the appliance
is used again. To do so, dispense a cup of
hot water and pour it away.
