4  Starting up

When starting the appliance for the first time, please carry out the following steps.

• 

Placement

• 

Connection

•  Switching on for the first time

• 

Selecting a language

• 

Setting the time

• 

Filling the bean container

• 

Filling the water tank

Once you have completed these steps, the appliance is ready for operation. You 

can now prepare coffee.  

We recommend pouring away the first two cups of coffee after the first start 

up.

4.1  Placement

• 

Place the appliance on a stable, level, and dry surface. Ensure that 

there is a sufficient distance of 10 cm to the wall and to other objects.

• 

The coffee grounds container is located in the drip tray. Please make 

sure that the drip tray is pushed into the appliance all the way to stop.

Caution!

–

Never place the appliance on hot surfaces or in damp areas.

–

Do not transport or store the appliance in vehicles or rooms at low 

temperatures, as the remaining water could freeze or condense and 

thereby damage the appliance. Follow the instructions on page 41.

Notes

–

Keep the packaging material, including hard foam elements, in order to 

avoid damage during transport or in case of return shipments.

–

It is normal to find traces of coffee and water in the machine before it is 

started up for the first time. This is because the appliance was tested for 

faultless function at the factory.

4.2  Connection

• 

Plug the power cable into an appropriate power socket.

Warning!

Danger of fire and electric shock due to incorrect supply voltage, 

incorrect or damaged connections and power cable.

–

Ensure that the supply voltage corresponds to the supply voltage specified 

on the identification label of the appliance. The identification label is on the 

right side of the appliance behind the cover (Fig.

, No.

).

–

Ensure that the power socket meets the applicable standards for electrical 

safety. If in doubt, contact a qualified electrician.

–

Never use damaged power cables (damaged insulation, bare wires).

–

During the guarantee period, only have the damaged power cable 

replaced by the manufacturer; after the guarantee period only have it 

replaced by qualified specialists.

4.4  Filling the bean container

Thanks to the 2-chamber „Bean Select“ bean container, you can use two different 

types of coffee at the same time. For example, fill one chamber with espresso 

beans, and the other with café crème beans. Then you can conveniently switch 

between the two types using the tilt lever.

• 

Fill the bean container (Fig. 

A

, No. 

7

) with fresh coffee beans. Each 

of the two chambers can be filled with a maximum of 135 g of coffee 

beans.

• 

Select the desired bean type by setting the tilt lever to the appropriate 

chamber.

Warning!

Hazard for persons allergic to caffeine.

Since a residual quantity of the previously used beans remains above the 

grinder, the two types of beans mix when changing to a different bean type. 

Consequently, when switching over to decaffeinated beans the first two cups 

may still contain coffee that is not decaffeinated. This means that only the third 

cup of coffee prepared after the switchover is free of caffeine.

Caution!

–

Fill the bean container with coffee beans only.

–

Never fill the bean container with ground, freeze-dried, or caramelised 

coffee beans.
