N.B.: If the appliance is being used for the
first time, a service program has been run,
or the appliance has not been operated
for a long period, the first beverage will
not have the full aroma and should not be
consumed.
When using the espresso machine for the
first time, you will achieve a suitably thick
and stable "crema" only after the first few
cups have been dispensed.
After extended use, water droplets may
form on the ventilation slots. This is normal.

A water filter can prevent scale buildup.
Before a new water filter is used, it must be
rinsed. To do this, proceed as follows:
■ Press the water filter firmly into the
water tank with the aid of the measuring
spoon (19).
■ Fill the water tank (17) with water up to
the max mark.
■ Press and hold the k off / i button (13)
for at least three seconds. The menu
opens.
■ Press the k off / i button (13) repeatedly
until the display shows No / Old filter.
■ Select Activate filter with the upper
rotary knob (15).
■ Press the start button (10).

■ Place a receptacle with a capacity of
0.5 litres under the outlet (6a).
■ Press the start button (10).
■ Water will now flow through the filter to
rinse it.
■ Empty the container.
The appliance is ready to use once more.
Note: Rinsing the filter simultaneously
activates the setting for the Change filter!
display.
The filter is no longer effective when the
Change filter! display appears, or at
the latest after 2 months. It needs to be
replaced for reasons of hygiene and so
that there is no build-up of limescale (this
could damage the appliance). Replacement
filters can be obtained from retailers or from
customer service (see "Accessories"). If no
new filter is used, turn the filter setting to
No / Old.
Note: You can use the filter indicator to
mark the month in which you inserted the
filter. You can also mark the month in which
you will need to replace the filter next (at
the latest after two months).
Note: If the appliance has not been used
for a prolonged period (e.g. vacation) the
filter should be rinsed before the appliance
is used again. To do so, dispense a cup of
hot water and pour it away.
