CAUTION
– Please, do not forget to fill the water tank, before switching on
the appliance. The pump of the water system could get damaged, when operated
without water. For removing the water tank, the water tank must be pulled straight
upwards. Do not attempt to tilt the water tank or move the water tank sidewise to
avoid damage. Do not use any abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads (e.g. metal scou-
ring pads), or any corrosive cleaners (e.g. disinfectants, chemical bleach) for clea-
ning. Do not use any hard or sharp-edged objects for cleaning the appliance.
Do not place the appliance in an automatic dishwasher.
3. Clean all removable parts (water tank, portafilter, filter baskets, drip tray, bean
hopper lid) and the accessories in warm dishwater (see: 'Care and Cleaning').
4. After cleaning, place the appliance on an appropriate working place near a
suitable wall power outlet (see: 'General Safety Instructions').
5. Ensure that the drip tray is empty and installed correctly (see: 'Operation / Emp-
tying the Drip Tray'). Thereafter, insert the water filter (see: 'Inserting the Water
Filter').
INSERTING THE WATER FILTER
You should operate the appliance with the water filter correctly assembled and in
place in the water tank. This will protect the water system of the appliance from par-
ticles (e.g. lime) or excessive lime deposits.
NOTE
On normal use, the filter cartridge lasts about two months. If the coffee machine is
left unused with the water filter installed, the filter cartridge will last max. 3 weeks,
because the filter material gets dry and inactive.
1. Remove the filter cartridge from the packaging and turn the indicator disc to the
next 2 months.
2. Activate the filter cartridge by pouring tap water into the hole in the filter
cartridge until water comes out of the opening at the side. This way, flush the
filter cartridge for more than 1 minute.
3. Remove the water tank from the rear of the machine. If required, pull the used
water filter out. Fill the water tank with an appropriate amount of water that will
be sufficient for immersing the filter cartridge completely in the water.
4. Completely immerse the filter cartridge in the water tank and for approx. 10
seconds turn the filter cartridge within the water in all directions, sloping it and
pressing it slightly to enable the air bubbles to escape.

5. Thereafter, place the filter cartridge in the water filter housing and, without vio-
lence, push the water filter down as far as possible onto the valve in the centre
of the water tank. Fill the water tank to the MAX filling line.
6. Insert the water tank at the rear of the machine. The filter cartridge is now active
and the water system can be flushed (see: 'Flushing the Water System').
FLUSHING THE WATER SYSTEM
NOTE
When locking the portafilter to the group head, a slight resistance may be tangib-
ly. This is normal and no need for concern.
IMPORTANT - When switching on the machine, the pump is agitated audibly and
some water comes out of the group head. There is no need for concern, because
this is a normal activity of the machine for preparing the water system for operati-
on. Additionally, on first use (purging the water system), there may be a light burnt
smell, caused by operating the heating elements for the very first time. This is nor-
mal and harmless. The smell vanishes on further use.').
1. Connect the appliance to a sufficient wall power outlet (see: 'Important Safegu-
ards for Electrical Appliances'). A signal sounds. Ensure that the selection dial at
the left side of the group head is switched to the vertical, central standby positi-
on.
2. Press the power button. The power button flashes. Some water comes out of the
group head. Wait until all buttons illuminate continuously.
3. Insert the EMPTY portafilter in the group head. For this, hold the handle to the 8
o'clock position, while lifting it into the group head. Then turn the handle of the
portafilter to the right as far as possible without violence.
4. Place a sufficiently large and heat-resistant bowl (china or metal; capacity at
least 1 litre) under the group head. Grasp the steam wand at the handle and
point the steam wand into the bowl.
WARNING
– At the group head and steam wand, hot water and steam
escape under pressure. Do not hold your hands or arms under the group head or
near the steam wand, while the appliance is switched on and/or still hot. Additi-
onally, while flushing the water system, the bowl may get hot too. If required,
protect your hands.
