Function Description:

The coffee maker offers a wide range of functions to customize your coffee experience:

The quantity of coffee in the cup can also be programmed.
Jug Function: A unique feature is the ability to make multiple cups of coffee (4 or 6) directly into a provided jug, which helps keep the coffee hot. The jug program can be customized for coffee taste and quantity per cup.
Hot Water Delivery: The appliance can deliver hot water, with the quantity being programmable.
Cappuccino/Steam Function: The cappuccino maker allows for the preparation of cappuccinos by delivering steam to froth milk.
Grinding Adjustment: The coffee mill's grinding adjustment knob allows users to fine-tune the grind for optimal coffee delivery speed and creaminess. This adjustment should only be made when the coffee mill is in operation.
Menu Parameters: The internal menu provides access to various settings, including language selection, rinsing, shut-off time, clock setting, auto-start time, coffee temperature, water hardness, and programming for coffee, jug, and water functions.
Descaling: The appliance has a descaling program to maintain its performance and extend its lifespan.
Reset to Default: Users can reset all programmed values to the factory default settings.

Contrast Adjustment: The display contrast can be adjusted to suit user preference.
Water Filter: The appliance supports the installation of a water softener filter to improve water quality and extend the appliance's working life.

Usage Features:

First-Time Use: Before initial use, the appliance requires a self-diagnosis cycle, language setting, water tank filling, and a hot water delivery cycle through the cappuccino maker. It is recommended to make 4-5 cups of coffee and cappuccinos to achieve satisfactory results.
Turning On/Off: The appliance performs an automatic preheat and rinse cycle each time it is turned on. It also performs a rinse cycle before turning off.
Coffee Bean Filling: The bean container is easily accessible by pulling out the appliance and lifting the lid.
Pre-ground Coffee Use: Pre-ground coffee can be added through a dedicated funnel. It is crucial to use only one measure at a time and never introduce pre-ground coffee when the machine is off.
Adjustable Coffee Spout: The coffee spout's height is adjustable to accommodate different cup sizes and ensure a creamier coffee.
Water Tank: The water tank has a MAX line indicator and can accommodate a water softener filter.
Drip Tray and Waste Coffee Container: These components collect excess water and used coffee grounds, and their status is indicated on the display.
Displayed Messages: The display provides helpful messages and instructions for various operations and alerts, such as "FILL TANK," "EMPTY WASTE COFFEE CONTAINER," and "PLEASE DESCALE!"

Maintenance Features:

Regular cleaning and maintenance are essential for the appliance's hygiene and optimal performance.

General Cleaning: The coffee maker should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth, avoiding solvents or abrasive detergents. None of the components should be washed in a dishwasher.
Waste Coffee Container: This container (A4) needs to be emptied and cleaned regularly, especially when the "EMPTY WASTE COFFEE CONTAINER" message is displayed or after 3 days of use to ensure hygiene. It is crucial to empty it completely whenever the drip tray is extracted.
Drip Tray: The drip tray (A14) has a red level indicator. It must be emptied and cleaned before the indicator protrudes from the cup tray to prevent overflow.
Water Tank: The water tank (A12) should be cleaned monthly with a damp cloth and mild washing-up liquid.
Spouts: The coffee (A13), hot water (A11), and cappuccino maker spouts (A10) should be cleaned periodically with a sponge. Blocked holes can be cleared with a toothpick.
Pre-ground Coffee Funnel: The pre-ground coffee funnel (A21) should be checked monthly for blockages and cleaned if necessary, using a knife to clear any obstructions.
Inside of the Coffee Maker: The interior, accessible after opening the service door (A2), should be checked weekly for coffee deposits and cleaned with a sponge or vacuum cleaner.
Brewing Unit: The brewing unit (A5) must be cleaned at least once a month. It is removed by pressing two red release buttons and pulling it outwards. It should be soaked in water for 5 minutes and rinsed, but never cleaned with washing-up liquid, as this can remove the lubricant.
Coffee Jug: The coffee jug (A27) should be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild washing-up liquid, but not in a dishwasher.
Descaling: The appliance will display "PLEASE DESCALE !" when descaling is required. The descaling process involves using a recommended descaler, following specific steps to ensure thorough cleaning of the internal circuits. The water softener filter must be removed before descaling.
Water Softener Filter: If installed, the filter (A26) should be replaced every two months or when the "REPLACE FILTER" message appears. The date indicator on the filter helps track its lifespan. Instructions are provided for installing, replacing, and removing the filter.
