PRE-HEATING
WARNING – The steam wand gets hot, when hot water or steam is relea-
sed. Even after operation, some hot water or steam may escape. Only touch the
steam wand at its handle. Do not hold your hands on or under the steam wand,
during operation and thereafter. Only use heat-resistant cups and mugs that will
not crack or melt.
When pre-heating your cups and mugs, the optimum temperature of your coffee will
be kept. After pre-heating, your cups can be kept warm on the warming plate on
top of the appliance. The extraction temperature decreases significantly, when the
extraction just starts, while the portafilter and filter basket are still cold. This can affect
the quality of your coffee unfavourably. Thus, you should warm up the portafilter and
filter basket before filling in coffee powder.
For pre-heating, rinse cups and portafilter with hot water given off via the hot water
function (see: ‘Hot Water’). Hold the portafilter over the drip tray for pre-heating.
1. Prepare the appliance and portafilter for operation (see: ‘Preparing the Appli-
ance for Operation’ and ‘Inserting the Required Filter Basket’). Ensure that the
water tank is filled with a sufficient amount of water (250-2500ml; filling level
between MIN and MAX).
2. Point the steam wand into your cup or the filter basket (in the portafilter). Turn the
selection dial clockwise (to the water icon) for starting the hot water function.
3. Wait, until some hot water is given off. Then turn the selection dial back to the
standby position for stopping the hot water function.
4. Repeat step 2 and 3 with the other parts (cups or portafilter) you wish to pre-
heat.
5. Place your cups onto the warming plate on top of the appliance to keep them
warm.
6. Thoroughly, wipe the portafilter and filter basket dry. Thereafter, fill the filter bas-
ket (see below: ‘Using the Grinder’ or ‘Filling in Coffee Powder Manually’).
IMPORTANT - Ensure that the filter basket and portafilter are completely dry,
before filling in coffee powder. With moisture in the filter basket, the water may
flow at the rim of the filter basket missing the coffee powder. When using pre-
ground coffee powder, fill the coffee powder directly into the filter basket. Do not
fill ground coffee powder into the bean hopper!
USING THE GRINDER
You can grind the coffee powder directly into the filter basket via the integrated grin-
der of the machine. With every start of the grinding action, the correctly measured
out dosage for 1 cup or 2 cups is given off.
NOTE
If you wish to use the double amount that is programmed for 1 cop, you may sim-
ply start the grinder twice. Alternatively, you may grind the dose that is program-
med separately for 2 cups.
IMPORTANT - Do not fill any coffee powder into the POD filter basket, because
this filter basket is for coffee pads only.
The grinder is disabled during pre-heating of the water system. After switching on
the machine, wait until all buttons illuminate continuously. Before using the grinder,
ensure that the bean hopper is filled with an appropriate amount of coffee beans
(max. 220g).
NOTE
On usual operation, the grinder stops after delivering the pre-programmed amount.
However, you can stop the grinding action manually any time during operation.
The grind size can be adjusted via the grind size dial (see: ‘Changing the Default
Settings / Setting Up the Grinder’).
7. Ensure that the portafilter and filter basket are completely dry.
8. Ensure that the bean hopper is filled with a sufficient amount of coffee beans. If
required, refill the bean hopper.
9. Push the portafilter in the grinder cradle below the grinder outlet.
10. Shortly press the grinder button for starting the grinder. The grinder gives off 1
portion of coffee powder, programmed for 1 cup espresso.
NOTE
After pressing the grinder button, the grinder starts with some short delay. The dosa-
ge programmed for 2 cups espresso is accessed by pressing the grinding button
twice within this delay time.
11. If you wish to grind the amount, programmed for a double shot, press the grinder
button twice in quick succession.
