Remove the packaging. Make sure the product is complete and undamaged. Check if all accessories are present. Do not use the appliance if it is visibly damaged. Contact the service department if there are any problems.

It is also important to note the following:

• Coffee has been used to test the appliance in the factory. Therefore it is completely normal that there are traces of coffee in the mill.

• Customise the water hardness as soon as possible. Obey the instructions in chapter ‘Set the water hardness’.

• Always use clean and cold tap water, bottled water without added minerals or distilled water suitable for consumption.

• The first time you use the appliance, the water circuit is empty. The appliance could be very noisy. The noise becomes less when the circuit fills with water.

• The first time you use the appliance, you need to make 4-5 cups of coffee before it starts to give results that are satisfactory.

• When making the first 5-6 beverages, it is normal to hear the noise of boiling water. This noise becomes less during use.

• Pull the appliance forward to get access to the main switch, the area for accessories and the lid of the bean container. Pull the coffee spouts forward to open the service door.

• The appliance will go to standby automatically. It is now ready for normal use.

Read and obey the instructions shown on the display. The display shows information and touch keys to use. Important information is accompanied by an audio signal.

To turn the appliance on, press the On/Standby button. Each time the appliance is set to ‘On’, it performs an automatic preheat and rinse cycle. This cycle cannot be interrupted. The appliance is ready for use only after the completion of this cycle. The primary screen will then be shown.

TIP: Put a cup under the spouts to collect the hot water from the rinse cycle to warm the cup.

NOTE: Do not push the main switch while the appliance is set to ‘On’.

WARNING! Danger! Risk of burns. During rinsing, a little hot water flows out of the coffee spouts. Avoid contact with splashes of water. Do not let the appliance stay unattended while hot water is being supplied.

To set to Standby:

Press the On/Standby button. Each time the appliance is set to ‘Standby’ after being used to make coffee, it performs an automatic rinse cycle.

To turn Off:

If you do not use the appliance for a long period, set the appliance to ‘Off’. To disconnect the appliance completely, place the main switch on the side of the appliance in the 0 (off) position.

• The supply of coffee can be stopped at any moment.

• As soon as the supply has ended, you can increase the quantity of water.

• You can customise beverages.

• Adjust the grind level if the coffee is supplied a drop at a time or too weak and not creamy enough.

• To make hotter coffee:

– Perform a rinse cycle and warm the cups with the hot water from the rinse cycle.

– Supply hot water to warm the cups.

– Use the cup warmer setting to warm the cups.

– Increase the coffee temperature.

• Lower the spouts to the cup as near as possible. This makes the coffee more creamy.

• After the coffee supply, the aroma setting and the quantity setting are reset to the ‘original recipe’.

• Once a beverage has been made, the appliance is ready to make the next beverage.

1. Open the lid of the bean container and pour in the coffee beans.

2. Place a cup under the coffee spouts.

3. Use the control panel to select your desired beverage.
