The maintenance set includes:

• ‘Total Hardness Test’ indicator paper

• Descaler

• Water softener filter (certain models only)

• Cleaning brush/cleaning cloth

• Milk cleaner

• O-rings and lubricating grease

Before first use, remove all packaging and check that all accessories are present and the product is undamaged. If it is visibly damaged, contact the service department.

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

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

• 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 and it could be very noisy. The noise lessens as the circuit fills.

• You need to make 4-5 cups of coffee before the appliance gives satisfactory results.

• It is normal to hear the noise of boiling water for the first 5-6 beverages. This noise becomes less during use.

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

When you set your appliance to ‘On’, it performs an automatic preheat and rinse cycle which cannot be interrupted. The ASKO CMB84BG is ready for use only after this cycle is complete. The primary screen will then be shown.

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.

TIP: Place 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’.

To set the appliance to ‘Standby’, press the On/Standby button. Each time the appliance is set to ‘Standby’ after making coffee, it performs an automatic rinse cycle.

To turn the appliance ‘Off’, for example if you do not plan to use it for a long period, disconnect it completely by placing 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 is too weak and not creamy enough.

• To make hotter coffee: Perform a rinse cycle to warm the cups, supply hot water to warm the cups, use the cup warmer setting, or increase the coffee temperature setting.

• Lower the spouts as close to the cup as possible for a creamier coffee.

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

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

Please note the following when using pre-ground coffee:

• Only add pre-ground coffee when the appliance is set to ‘On’. Otherwise, the coffee could spread through the inside of the appliance and damage it.

• Only make one cup of coffee at a time. Do not use more than 1 measuring spoon.

• Make sure the funnel is not blocked.

Do not use green, caramelised or candied coffee beans in your ASKO CMB84BG. They could make the coffee mill unusable.

If the safety instructions and warnings are not followed, the manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any resulting damage.

• After removing the packaging, make sure the product is complete and undamaged. If in doubt, do not use the appliance and contact a qualified professional.

• Installation must be carried out by a qualified technician and in compliance with current regulations.

• Packing elements (plastic bags, polystyrene etc.) must not be left within reach of children as they may represent a hazard.

• Never install the appliance in environments where the temperature may reach 0 °C or lower, as the appliance may be damaged if the water freezes.

• Make sure the socket used is freely accessible at all times, enabling the appliance to be unplugged when necessary.

• Never touch the plug with damp hands.

• Never pull the power cable as you could damage it.

• This appliance can be installed over a built-in oven if the latter is fitted with a cooling fan.

• Do not use multiple plug adapters or extension leads.

• The power cable on this appliance must not be replaced by the user. If the cable is damaged or requires replacing, contact an authorised service centre only.

• Make sure the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage indicated on the appliance rating plate.

• Connect the appliance to an efficiently earthed socket. The manufacturer is not liable for possible incidents caused by the failure to adequately earth the mains.

• If a stationary appliance is not fitted with a supply cord and a plug, or with other means for disconnection from the supply mains having a contact separation in all poles that provide full disconnection under overvoltage category III conditions, the means for disconnection must be incorporated in the fixed wiring in accordance with the wiring rules. This is also applicable for appliances with a supply cord and plug when the plug is not accessible after installing the appliance. Using an omnipolar switch with a contact separation of at least 3 mm fitted in the fixed wiring will fulfil this requirement.
