8.  After every use, pull out the drip tray to

remove it and pour out any excess water. 

Due to how the machine operates, a small

amount of water and coffee grounds 

collect in the drip tray after each coffee 

is brewed. 

9.  Pull the front drawer out by the grip as

illustrated. 

10. Remove the used capsule container. 

11.  Empty the used capsule container daily or

whenever it is full. Approx. 4 capsules fit

inside.

Do not leave a used capsule in the capsule opening. Empty the used capsule

drawer daily. In case you forget a capsule in the machine for a few days,

rinse the machine as described in the section “Rinsing the machine”.

12. Then insert all parts back into the

machine. 

Make sure that the used capsule container

is positioned correctly when reinserting 

it – the arrow on the container should be

pointing towards the front drawer.

Adjusting the strength (amount) of the coffee

Adjust the strength of the coffee to suit your personal taste by adjusting the

quantity of water. You can do this for one single brewing procedure or save the

setting.

Adjusting the strength for the current brewing procedure (without saving

the setting)

If the coffee is 

too weak

, you can stop the water flow prematurely by

m

pressing the flashing coffee button. 

If the coffee is 

too strong

, start the brewing procedure again without

m

inserting a new capsule. Press the button as soon as sufficient water has 

run through. 

       

Setting the strength permanently (saving the setting)

You can change the factory settings for the water quantity permanently. This

enables you to make your favourite coffee every time at exactly the strength you

prefer. You can customise the setting for each type of coffee: espresso (white

cup), caffè crema (yellow cup) and filter coffee (blue cup).

Proceed in the same way as for brewing coffee: Fill the water tank, insert 

1.

a capsule and place a cup beneath the spout.

Press and hold the relevant coffee button until the required quantity of coffee

2.

has been dispensed into the cup. 

When you release the button, the machine will save that quantity.

3.

If the settings are not to your taste, simply repeat the procedure to change them

again.

Default settings (amounts are approximate):                       

Espresso

40 ml I  

Caffè crema

125 ml I  

Filter coffee

125 ml

The water quantity can be set between approx. 30 and 250 ml.
