This document describes the Wolf Coffee System, a sophisticated appliance designed for preparing coffee and milk-based beverages. It is intended for household use and is not suitable for commercial or industrial environments.
Function Description:
The Wolf Coffee System is an automatic coffee machine capable of brewing various coffee drinks, including espresso, short coffee, coffee, long coffee, latte macchiato, caffelatte, and cappuccino. It features a pre-ground coffee compartment for using different coffee types and a milk frother for creating milk-based beverages. The system includes a descaling function to maintain optimal performance and a cleaning program for various components.
Important Technical Specifications:
The system operates on an electrical supply, and users are advised to ensure the voltage matches the machine's requirements. It has a water tank, a milk container, a drip tray, and a grounds container. The coffee spout is adjustable in height to accommodate different cup sizes. The machine can store programmed volumes for various beverages, with default settings for espresso (30 ml), short coffee (60 ml), coffee (210 ml), long coffee (360 ml), and cappuccino (70 ml milk, 80 ml coffee). The coffee grinder has adjustable settings for fineness.

Brewing Coffee:
To brew coffee, users can select from various tastes (mild, standard, strong, extra-strong, pre-ground) and volumes. The coffee spout height is adjustable. The machine can also use pre-ground coffee by adding it to the dedicated compartment.
Preparing Milk-based Beverages:
For cappuccino, latte macchiato, and caffelatte, users need to fill the milk container and adjust the froth regulator to the desired level (no froth, some froth, most froth). The machine will then dispense the programmed quantities of milk and coffee. After preparing milk-based drinks, it is recommended to clean the milk system using the "CLEAN" button on the milk container.
Adjusting Grind:
The coffee grinder has an adjustment dial located inside the grounds container. Users can turn the dial to achieve a coarser or finer grind. This adjustment should only be made when the grinder is running.

Maintenance Features:
Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial for the longevity and performance of the Wolf Coffee System.
- Cleaning: Before cleaning, turn off the main switch and disconnect from the power supply. Do not immerse the appliance in water or wash any components in the dishwasher unless specified.
- Stainless Steel: Clean with a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner and a soft, lint-free cloth.
- Control Panel: Use a spray degreaser to remove fingerprints and food soil. Spray onto a cloth before wiping the panel.
- Coffee Spout: Clean regularly with a sponge. Remove any coffee deposits in the holes with a toothpick.
- Water Tank: Clean periodically with a damp cloth and mild dish soap. Rinse and towel dry.
- Drip Tray/Grounds Container: Empty the drip tray before the water level indicator protrudes. Empty and clean the grounds container when "EMPTY GROUNDS CONTAINER" is displayed.
- Pre-ground Compartment: Check periodically to verify the pre-ground coffee funnel is not blocked.
- Interior: Access by opening the service door. Remove coffee deposits with a sponge and vacuum residue.
- Infuser: Clean the infuser at least once a month. Turn the unit off, open the service door, and remove the drip tray and grounds container. Press the two red buttons and remove the infuser. Soak in water for approximately 5 minutes, then rinse and towel dry. Reassemble and reinsert.
- Milk Container/Lid: Clean the milk container and lid with warm water and mild dish soap. The components are dishwasher safe (top rack).
- Descaling: The machine requires regular descaling, especially in areas with very hard water. Use EcoDecalk descaling solution. The process involves emptying the water tank, adding descaling solution, placing a large container under the spout, and initiating the "DESCALE" cycle. After the cycle, rinse the tank and perform a rinsing cycle.
