5. Place a large mug under the group head and (WITHOUT filter holder!) start the
brewing function via the cup icon. Let the brewing function operate until it is finis-
hed. While the function is running, check whether the water comes out evenly at
the splash shield.
IMPORTANT -
When the water is given off only at some parts of the splash shield,
scale deposits may clog the splash shield. In this case, descale the appliance (see:
‚Descaling the Water System‘).
CLEANING THE WATER TANK
We recommend cleaning the water tank regularly (after some days of usage) for
maintaining the good performance of the appliance. Additionally, this will avoid
surplus lime deposits in the water system and an unpleasant taste of your drinks due
to the build-up of algae and germs in the water tank.
CAUTION
– Handle the water tank with care to avoid damage to the
hinges of the lid and the valve at the bottom. Do not poke in the valve
1. Ensure that the machine is unplugged.
2. Via the tank lid, pull the water tank vertically upwards and out.
NOTE
If you find it difficulty to move the water tank up via the tank lid, it may be easier
to hold the water tank at both sides for removing it. However, do not tilt the water
tank.
3. Empty the water tank. Pull out the water filter.
4. Wash the water tank with lukewarm dishwater and a soft nylon brush.
5. Thoroughly rinse the water tank with clear tap water. Wipe dry the exterior of
the water tank.
IMPORTANT -
Ensure to install a new water filter in time (see: ‘Changing the
Water Filter’).
6. If you wish to use the appliance shortly after cleaning, replace the water filter.
Then fill the water tank up to the MAX filling level.
7. If the appliance will be not in use for an elongated time (e.g. during hollidays),
wipe dry even the interior of the water tank and, with the lid open, leave the
water tank dry naturally for at least 1 hour. This will prevent a stale taste of the
water, when the machine is used again.
8. Hold the water tank by the tank lid and let the water tank slide down at the rear
of the machine (see: ‘Making Your Drinks / Filling the Water Tank’). Close the
tank lid and gently push down the water tank. The valve at the bottom of the
water tank opens automatically.
CHANGING THE WATER FILTER
CAUTION
– Only use the type of water filter dedicated for the machine.
Other types of water filters may case damage. For ordering the required water
filter contact your vendor.
The water filter protects the machine from excessive build up of lime in the water sys-
tem. It must be changed regularly. In most cases, we recommend to change the water
filter, when descaling the water system is required. A detailed instruction is given in the
section ‘Before First Use / Preparations after Purchasing / Installing the Water Filter’.
NOTE
The water filter has a lifetime of two months in case of ordinary use of the appli-
ance. However, if the water filter is installed, although the appliance is not used,
the water filter has a lifetime of three weeks at the most. Dispose of the exhausted
water filter in domestic waste. Let the water run out first.
CLEANING THE ESPRESSO FILTERS AND FILTER HOLDER
Purge the filter holder and espresso filters after each use. Otherwise the pores in the
mesh of the espresso filters may get clogged via dried-on residues of coffee powder.
After approx. 3 months of normal use or before prolonged storage (several days)
you should clean the used espresso filters via the cleaning function of the machine
(see below: ‘Thorough Cleaning’).
NOTE
Avoid cleaning the double-wall filters and filter holder via usual dishwater. Some
additives in dishwashing agents may accumulate especially between the mesh
and bottom plate of the espresso filters and in the interior of the filter holder, cau-
sing an unpleasant taste of your coffee.
1.
Directly after each use:
Do not let used coffee powder dry on the espresso fil-
ters. Rinse the filter holder and espresso filter via clear hot tap water for removing
all residues of coffee powder.
2. When the espresso filter will not be used for some hours (over night), install the
espresso filter (without coffee powder!) at the group head via the filter holder.
