Caring for the environment
Disposal of the packing
material
Disposal of your old machine
Electrical and electronic machines
often contain materials which, if
handled or disposed of incorrectly,
could be potentially hazardous to
human health and to the environment.
They are, however, essential for the
correct functioning of your machine.
Please do not therefore dispose of it
with your household waste.
The transport and protective packing
has been selected from materials which
are environmentally friendly for
disposal, and can normally be
recycled.
Ensure that any plastic wrappings,
bags, etc. are disposed of safely and
kept out of the reach of babies and
young children. Danger of suffocation.
Dispose of or recycle all packaging
materials safely as soon as possible.
Rather than just throwing these
materials away, please ensure that they
are recycled.
Please dispose of it at your local
community waste collection/recycling
centre, or contact your Dealer for
advice. Ensure that it presents no
danger to children while being stored
for disposal.
It should be disconnected from the
mains electricity supply by a competent
person.

capsule carousel out by lifting it
upwards to fill it.
Do not put anything other than
Nespresso coffee capsules in the
capsule carousel.
Please note that the individual
capsules sit loosely in the capsule
carousel to prevent them from
becoming jammed.
Do not use coffee capsules which
are damaged, broken, dented or
bent up at the edges. They can get
stuck in the machine.
^ If you have removed the capsule
carousel, place it onto the carousel
runners before putting it back into the
machine. You do not have to position
it in a particular way, as the machine
will automatically guide it into
position.
The capsule carousel has
five chambers, each holding
four capsules. It is important
to allocate the chambers correctly (see
"Allocating and saving a coffee type").
You can fill all the chambers with the
same type of coffee, if wished.
^ Push the carousel runners fully back
into the machine.
Some of the chambers are allocated a
type of coffee at the factory. Fill the
chambers with the appropriate type of
coffee, or re-allocate the chamber for a
different type of coffee (see "Allocating
and saving coffee types"). The machine
will then dispense the type of coffee
you select.
^ Close the front of the machine.
The machine will now align the capsule
carousel. You will be able to hear this
happening.

Preparing hot milk, milk froth
and cappuccino
The drink you want will then run out of
the spout.
This machine comes with a
cappuccinatore (milk frother) which
makes it easy to prepare hot milk, milk
froth and cappuccino.
You can programme the size
of portion dispensed for
espresso and coffee
according to taste (see "Programming
the amount: Setting the portion sizes").
Before using the cappuccinatore for
the first time, clean it thoroughly,
preferably in the dishwasher (see
"Cleaning and care").
Double portion
If you want to dispense a double
portion of coffee or espresso or to
dispense two portions at the same time:
^ touch the OK sensor again whilst
"Double portion?" is in the display.
The two portions will be dispensed one
after the other.
Cancelling preparation
The cappucinatore must always be
assembled correctly with valve a
above the handle and the spout b at
the side.
^ Touch the OK sensor when "Stop" is
showing in the display.
Preparation will be halted.
The valve has two settings:
– Turn it anti-clockwise as far as it will
go to heat milk.
– Turn it clockwise as far as it will go to
froth milk.

Making drinks
Do not set the valve between these
two settings as this will cause the
milk to sputter.
Steam release is controlled by a
timer. If you do not get sufficient
froth in your cup and the steam jet
has stopped releasing steam,
please shut off the steam valve on
the machine. Press it downwards
again to reconnect it with the
cappuccinatore.
Milk can be frothed and dispensed
straight into a cup, or heated or frothed
in the cappuccinatore jug first and then
poured manually into the cup. The
spout must be pushed in or pulled out:
Dispensing froth directly into the cup
^ Push the spout into the lid as far as it

If the water is harder than
For trouble-free operation of the coffee
machine, and to ensure that the
descaling reminder appears in the
display at the appropriate time, it is
important to set the water hardness
level. The water hardness level
indicates how much calcium is
dissolved in the water. The higher the
calcium content, the harder the water,
and the harder the water, the more
often the machine will need to be
descaled.
40°d/7.0 mmol/l, limescale will build
up more rapidy than with soft water.
Descaling will need to be carried out
more regularly than stated to
prevent limescale damage to the

The machine has four programmable
levels:
– Soft:
Local water hardness level 1
0-3°d (0-0.6 mmol/l)
Water through-flow: approx. 100 l
Steam through-flow: approx. 120
min.
The machine measures the amount of
water which has been taken in
(including the amount required for
producing steam). The amount of water
which the machine can use before it
needs to be descaled will depend on
the water hardness level set. Less
water will be used in hard water areas
than in soft water areas.

Waste container
Clean the waste container daily. Coffee
remains can turn mouldy.
^ Push the waste container back into
the machine as far as it will go.
When you push the waste container
into the machine, you also push a
lever backwards. This tells the
machine that the waste container has
been put back. There will be a little
resistance as you do this. This is
quite normal.
There will probably also be water in the
waste container left over from the

Cleaning and care
Drip tray
There is a sensor in the drip tray which
causes a message to appear in the
display when the drip tray is full and
needs to be emptied. Remove the tray
and empty and clean it when this
message appears.
However, to avoid a build-up of odours,
the drip tray should be cleaned every
day.
^ Clean the drip tray and the grid with
hot water and a little washing-up
liquid, or in the dishwasher and dry
with a cloth.
After running the last rinse you
should leave the drip tray in position
for a while before cleaning it so that
you catch any remaining water from
the system.
Make sure that the metal contact
discs at the top of the drip tray are
cleaned and dried properly. These
metal discs send a signal to the
machine when the drip tray is full or
if it is not in the machine. The discs
will not convey these messages if
they are dirty or damp.
Take care when removing the drip
tray as the water can be very hot.
Danger of scalding.
^ Open the machine front, and
carefully remove the drip tray from
the machine.
^ Push the drip tray with the grid along
the right hand edge back into the
machine.
The grid in the drip tray prevents the
water from spilling out of the tray
when it is being carried.
^ Close the front of the machine.

best to clean the cappuccinatore in a
dishwasher - all parts are dishwasher-
safe.
Also make sure that the
reassembled lid is fitted onto the

Installation
Installing a built-in coffee machine
For units with 19 mm thick side
walls:
Before installation make sure that
there is no power supply to the
machine. This also applies should it
ever need to be taken out of its
housing unit.
^ If the furniture unit walls are 19 mm
thick you will need to drill four holes
in the sides for securing the machine.
To mark the position of these holes:
– Align the machine in the niche.
Screw the side socket screws inside
the machine in a little so that they
make indents in the side walls, and
then unscrew them again.
The machine must be built in before
it is operated.
You will need two Allen keys (size 3
and 5) for installing the machine.
– Take the machine out of the niche
and drill ø 4.5 mm holes, 2 mm deep
where you made the indentations.
^ Push it all the way into the niche until
you feel resistance.
The following only applies when
installing in a tall unit:
^ Check the height of the machine to
make sure that it is sitting centrally in
the niche and that it is level.
If this is not the case, realign the 4
feet underneath the machine using
the large allen key.
The feet can be unscrewed by up to
approx. 10 mm.
