Your fully automated coffee machine guarantees you • Absolute ease of operation, both in making coffee and in maintenance and care. The excellent, individual taste is achieved by • The pre-brewing system: before the coffee is brewed, it is first moistened to extract its full aroma • The individually controllable amount of water per cup, from a short espresso to a „long“ milky coffee • The individually controllable tempera- ture, at which the coffee is made • The choice between a normal or a strong cup of coffee • The grinding texture – adjustable to the roast of the coffee beans, and • Last, but not least, the guaranteed crema, that small crown of froth that makes espresso-coffee so unmatcha- ble for connoisseurs Did you know? The time the water is in contact with the ground coffee is considerably less for espresso coffee than conventional filter coffee. As a result, less bitterness is released from the ground coffee– making espresso- coffee that much milder! 3 Safety Information 1 This appliance corresponds to accepted technological standards with regards to safety and to the German Appliance Safety Law. As the manufacturer, we nevertheless wish to familiarise you with the following safety information. General safety • The coffee machine must be connected only to a mains power supply of which the voltage, type of supply and fre- quency conform with the details shown on the type plate (this can be found on the upper part, behind the service cover)! • Never allow the mains lead to come into contact with hot parts of the appliance. • Never use the mains lead to pull the plug out of the mains socket! • Do not use the coffee machine, if: – the mains lead is damaged, or – the case shows visible signs of damage. • Ensure that the coffee machine is switched off before plugging into the mains socket. • This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given initial supervision or instruction con- cerning use of the appliance by a per- son responsible for their safety. Child safety • Do not leave the coffee machine run- ning unattended, and take special care when children are about! Safety in operation • Caution! The coffee dispenser, swivel nozzle and cup rack become hot in operation. Keep childeren at a safe distance! • Caution! Danger of scalding when the steam nozzle is activated! Hot water or steam output can cause scalding.

you are holding a container under the nozzle. • Do not use steam to heat inflammable liquids! • Only use the coffee machine with water in the system! Fill the water tank with cold water. Do not use hot water, milk or other liquids. Do not exceed the maximum fill level of 1.5 litres. • Do not put frozen or caramelised cof- fee beans in the bean container. Use only roast coffee beans! Remove any foreign bodies from the coffee beans. Failure to do this invalidates the guar- antee. • Spoon only ground coffee into the ground coffee filler. • Do not leave the coffee machine switched on unnecessarily. • Do not expose the coffee machine to the weather. • When using an extension lead, use only a commercially available cable with a conductor cross-section of at least 1.5 mm2. • To avoid injury, persons with motor system disorders should never use the machine without an accompanying person. • Operate the machine only when the drip tray, container and the drip grille are installed! Safety in cleaning and care • Follow the cleaning and descaling instructions. • Switch off the coffee machine and unplug from the mains socket before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning! • Do not immerse the coffee machine in water. • Only clean the steam nozzle when the machine is switched off, cold and not under pressure! • Do not clean coffee machine parts in the dishwasher. • Never put water in the grinder. This would damage the grinder. Never open or repair the coffee machine. Faulty repairs can result in considerable hazard to the user. Repairs to electrical appliances must be carried out only by qualified service engineers. If a repair becomes necessary – includ- ing replacement of the mains lead, please contact • the dealer where you bought the coffee machine, or • the AEG Serviceline. If the machine is misused or incor- rectly operated the manufacturer accepts no liability for damages and the guarantee is invalidated – like- wise if the cleaning and descaling program is not carried out immedi- ately after the display indication «CARRY OUT CLEANING PROCESS» respectively «CARRY OUT DESCALING» and accord- ing to the details in these operating instructions.

For the machine to automatically return to the coffee mode. 3 You can execute other menu settings, see „Menu settings“ page 45.

The following process for making cof- fee with beans runs completely auto- matically: Grinding, portioning, pressing, pre-brewing, brewing, ejec- tion of the coffee grounds. The facility to select the grinding tex- ture and the coffee quantity allows you to individually set up the coffee machine to your own personal taste. 1 Ensure that you use only pure coffee beans with no caramelised or aroma- tised additives. Do not use frozen beans. 6.1 Filling the Coffee Bean Container 0 Turn the bean container to the „Coffee Beans“ position (Fig. 10). The mech- anism sets to the required function. 0 Set the grinding texture (Fig. 11). Using the grinding texture adjustment (Fig. 2, V) you can set the grinding tex- ture of the grinder. 1 Note! Before putting beans into the coffee machine for the first time, you can set the grinding texture once with the grinder stationary. Once the grinder has been filled with beans, the setting can be changed only while grinding is proceeding. Otherwise the coffee machine could be damaged. 3 The grinder is factory-set to a medium grinding texture. Notes on changing the grinder setting can be found in „Setting the Grinding Texture" page 45. 0 Raise the lid of the coffee bean con- tainer, and fill the container with fresh coffee beans (Fig. 12). Then reclose the lid. 1 Note! Make sure that no foreign bod- ies, such as stones, enter the coffee bean container. Damage caused by for- eign bodies in the grinder is excluded from the guarantee. 6.2 Select Cup Size Depending on your taste, select a „short“ espresso or a „long“ milky cof- fee. 0 For this press the „Cup Size“ key (Fig. 3, d) until the desired cup sym- bol is selected or the desired cup size is indicated on the display. The cup sizes are indicated as follows: 3 The bottom line in the display shows the coffee quantity. The procedure for changing this is described in the fol- lowing section. 3 The machine is set to standard quanti- ties at the factory. Instructions for changing the set coffee quantities are to be found under „Programming the cup measure and the coffee quantity" on page 44. 6.3 Selecting the coffee quantity 0 Press the „Coffee Quantity“ key (Fig. 3, c) until the desired coffee quantity symbol lights or the desired coffee quantity is selected on the dis- play. The coffee quantities are indicated as follows: «CUP SMALL» Espresso cup «CUP MEDIUM» Coffee cup «CUP LARGE» Coffee mug «EXTRA MILD» extra mild «MILD» mild «NORMAL» normal «STRONG» strong «EXTRA- STRONG» extra strong

cup size. The instructions for selectig a different cup size are contained in the previous section. 3 To save having to select the coffee quantity every time you switch on the coffee machine, you can permanently save the coffee quantity in relation to the cup size. Instructions are to be found under „Programming the cup measure and the coffee quantity" on page 44. 6.4 Setting the number of cups and dispensing coffee 0 Place one or two cups under the coffee dispenser. The dispenser can be slid up or down to match the height of your cup/mug to reduce heat loss and cof- fee splashes (Fig. 13). 3 If the height adjuster is stiff, proceed as described under „Cleaning the height adjustment“ page 48. 0 Press the key „1 or 2 cups of coffee“ (Fig. 3, b) once or twice in order to select 1 or 2 cups. The display shows «1 CUP» or «2 CUPS». If you have selected «2 CUPS», the key lights up. 0 Press the „OK“ key (Fig. 3, g). The coffee is now made. 3 In the coffee-making process, the ground coffee is first of all wetted with a small quantity of water for pre- brewing. Following a short pause, the actual brewing process commences. 0 You can prematurely stop the coffee being dispensed at any time by briefly pressing the previously actuated „OK“ key (Fig. 3, g) once again. This is indi- cated in the display with «BREAK». 3 If you have not dispensed coffee for a long period of time with the machine switched on, you should rinse the sys- tem before dispensing again. Start the rinsing with the „Rinse“ key (Fig. 3, e), the display shows «UNIT RINSES». With this additional rinsing phase the brewing unit is brought back to the initial coffee dispensing temperature. 7 Making Ready-ground Coffee This function allows you to brew pre- ground coffee, e.g. decaffeinated cof- fee. Note that you must use only the sup- plied measuring spoon, and never put more than 2 level measuring spoons of ground coffee (max. 16 g) into the ground coffee filler. 1 Note! Make sure that no ground coffee has remained in the filler, and that no foreign bodies enter the filler. The ground coffee filler is not a storage container. The ground coffee must be fed directly into the coffee-making unit. If the brewing unit is overfilled, the machine indicates a fault; the display then shows «CLEAN BREWING UNIT» and «SWITCHES OFF UNIT» alternately. For instructions on cleaning the brewing unit, see „Clean- ing the Coffee-making Unit“ page 49. 1 Do not put any water-soluble or freeze-dried instant powders or any other drink powder into the ground coffee filler. Coffee powder, which is too fine, can lead to blockages.

0 Turn the coffee bean container to the „Ground Coffee“ position (Fig. 14). The mechanism sets to the required function. 3 When using ready ground coffee, the „Coffee Quantity“ function is inactive. So no coffee quantity signal lamps light. 0 Open the lid of the ground coffee filler, and spoon in the fresh ground coffee (Fig. 15). Do not add coffee during the brewing process. Only put in ground coffee for the next cup when the brewing process has completely finished and the coffee machine is ready. 0 Close the lid. 7.2 Selecting cup size See „Select Cup Size" page 40. 7.3 Setting number of cups and Dispensing coffee See „Setting the number of cups and dispensing coffee" page 41. 8 Frothing Milk The steam can be used to froth milk and to heat liquids. Since a higher temperature is needed to produce steam than to make coffee, the coffee machine has an additional steam mode. 3 To make a cappuccino, fill a large cup 1/2 to 2/3 full with espresso, and then add the frothed milk. 1 Caution! Danger of scalding when the steam nozzle is activated! Hot water or steam output can cause scalding. Do not activate the steam nozzle until it is immersed in the milk. 0 To produce steam, press the „Steam Pre-selector“ key (Fig. 3, a) . The indicator illuminates; the „Unit heats“ indicator (Fig. 3, i) can also flash and the display shows «UNIT HEATS». When the heating process is finished, the „Unit heats“ indicator (Fig. 3, i) lights continuously the display shows «STEAM READY – OPEN STEAM NOZZLE». The machine is ready for the milk frothing. 3 If the steam function is not used for longer than 1 minute, the machine switches back automatically to the coffee mode. 0 Pour low-fat, cold milk into a mug which must be small enough to fit under the steam nozzle. 3 The milk should be cold. You should also use a cold mug, preferably a stain- less steel one which should not be rinsed beforehand in hot water. 0 Swing out the steam nozzle and hold the mug under the steam nozzle so that the nozzzle opening is just immersed in the milk.

residues in the steam nozzle. Take care not to immerse the steam nozzle in the milk far enough to cover the air intake opening at the top of the steam nozzle. Otherwise milk can be sucked into the nozzle and cause impurities in the steam nozzle. 0 Turn the Selection dial for steam and hot water (Fig. 1, D) to the position (Fig. 16). The display shows the steam process (indication «STEAM»). The milk is frothed. 3 Hold the mug steady during the froth- ing. The nozzle should not be allowed to touch the bottom of the mug and cut off the steam supply. Froth the milk to at least twice its volume. 0 To end the frothing, turn the Selection dial for steam and hot water (Fig. 1, D) to the position and then remove the vessel (Fig. 16). The display returns to the steam readiness indication (indica- tion «STEAM READY – OPEN STEAM NOZZLE»). 1 Caution! Danger of scalding from hot milk spray! Switch the steam off, before removing the mug with the frothed milk. 0 Exit the steam mode by pressing the „Steam Pre-selector“ key (Fig. 3, a) or wait ca. 60 sec., for the machine to automatically return to the coffee mode; the indication is extinguished. Now the machine is once again ready for making coffee; the last selected coffee setting is shown in the display. 0 Each time you have frothed milk, let off some hot water through the nozzle for a short time by setting the Selec- tion dial for steam and hot water (Fig. 1, D) to the position. This is nec- essary to prevent milk residues drying inside the nozzle, and thereby blocking it. Use a suitable container to catch the water. During this process the display shows «HOTWATER». Then return the Selector dial to the position ; the last selected coffee setting is shown in the display. 0 Remove the frothing aid after each use (Fig.17). For this, take hold of the frothing aid by the black seal and dis- engage the bayonet connector by turning it slightly anticlockwise. Rinse off the milk residues under running water. Wipe the steam nozzle with a damp cloth. 1 Caution! Danger of burns from the frothing aid! Hold the frothing aid only by the black seal. 9 Preparing Hot Water The hot water can be used to pre-heat cups and for making hot drinks, e.g. tea or instant soups. 1 Caution! Danger of scalding when the hot water nozzle is activated! Hot water or steam output can cause scalding. Activate the hot water nozzle only when a container is under the hot water nozzle. 0 Place a container under the hot water nozzle. Set the Selection dial for steam and hot water (Fig. 1, D) to the position (Fig. 18). Hot water is ready; the display shows «HOTWATER». 0 After you have dispensed the hot water turn the Selection dial for steam and hot water (Fig. 1, D) back to the position (Fig. 18) and remove the con- tainer.

measure and the coffee quantity The coffee machine is factory-set to standard measures. These measures can be individually changed to your own taste and saved for each cup size. 10.1 Changing and saving the cup measure and the coffee quantity Here it is possible to change and save the cup measure for each of the three cup sizes and for coffee bean mode also the coffee quantity. To program the setting correctly, note the order: – First select the cup size for which you wish to make the settings. – Next select the coffee quantity (only for coffee bean mode) (i.e. how strong you want the coffee to be). – Then determine how full the cup is to be filled. 0 First press the „Cup Size“ key (Fig. 3, d) until the cup symbol is illuim- inated for which you want set the cup measure. The display shows e.g. «1 CUP LARGE». 0 Only with coffee bean mode: Next press the „Coffee Quantity“ key (Fig. 3, c) until the desired coffee quantity symbol illluminates. The dis- play shows e.g. «STRONG». 3 The top line in the display indicates the selected cup size. The bottom line in the display indicates the selected cof- fee quantity. 0 Place a corresponding cup under the coffee dispenser (e.g. coffee mug). 0 Next press the „OK“ key (Fig. 3, g) and keep it pressed until the desired cup measure is reached. 3 During the filling the display indicates «CUP LEVEL» ; the bar indicator in the bottom line moves up. The max. bar indication corresponds to the max. possible cup measure of ca. 240 ml. 3 When you save the cup measure in coffee bean mode, firstly the grinder starts and grinds the coffee. Keep the „OK“ key pressed (Fig. 3, g) until the desired cup measure is reached. 0 Release the key once your desired cup measure is reached. This cup measure is now saved. The display briefly indicates «PROGRAMMED». 0 Repeat the action if you would also like to adjust the measures for the other cup sizes. 3 The machine switches off automati- cally on reaching the max. cup meas- ure. The saved values are retained also when the machine is switched off. If you would like to change your cup size or flavour, you can individually adjust the cup measure at any time or return them to the factory setting with a reset. You will find which settings are reset under „Resetting the machine to the factory setting (Reset)“ page 47. 3 The saving of the cup measure is only possible for 1 cup. For dispensing of 2 cups the saved values are doubled.

quantity This is only possible with coffee bean mode, not for use with ground coffee. Should your taste change or you find the coffee to strong or too mild, you can change just the coffee quantity without changing the cup measure. 0 First press the „Cup Size“ key (Fig. 3, d) until the cup symbol illumi- nates, for which you would like to adjust the coffee quantity. The display shows e.g. «1 CUP LARGE». 3 The top line in the display shows the selected cup size. The bottom line in the display always shows the coffee quantity you have saved previously for this cup measure, e.g. «STRONG» 0 Next press the „Coffee quantity“ key (Fig. 3, c) until the desired cof- fee quantity symbol is illuminated. The display shows e.g. «MILD». The value is now saved. 0 Repeat the process if you also want to adjust the coffee quantities for the other cup sizes. 3 Be sure the follow the order; first select the cup size, then the coffee quantity. 3 The saved quantities remain stored when the coffee machine is switched off. 11 Setting the Grinding Texture 1 Note! The grinder settings must be changed only while coffee is being ground. Making adjustments to the stationary grinder can damage the cof- fee machine. 0 Dispense a coffee with beans. During the grinding, set the grinding texture with the grinding texture setting lever (Fig. 2, V) and (Fig. 19). The lever positions have the following effects: Fine grade for intensive taste Medium grade for normal taste Coarse grade for mild coffee Remove foreign bodies from the grinder Foreign bodies, such as small stones in the grinder can damage the grinder. The coffee machine includes a stone detector. A foreign body in the coffee causes a loud, even rattle. If you hear this noise while coffee is being ground, immediately switch off the coffee machine and remove the foreign body, as described in „Cleaning the Grinder“ page 48. 12 Menu settings 12.1 Setting language You can select between several lan- guages. The factory setting is «DEUTSCH» (German). You can change this setting as follows: 0 Press the „Menu“ key (Fig. 3, f) .

Wipe the inside and outside of the case only with a damp cloth. 1 Note! Never put the coffee machine or separate parts of the coffee machine in the dishwasher. 1 Note! Never put water in the coffee bean container, as this would damage the grinder. 0 Remove the water tank daily (Fig. 7) and empty any remaining water. Rinse out the water tank with fresh water. Use fresh water every day. 0 Empty the container daily, see „Empty- ing the Container“ page 48. 0 Regularly drain the drip tray. This can be done at any time, but must be done when the red Drip tray float (Fig. 1, I) appears through the opening in the drip grille. 0 Regularly (at least once per week) clean the Water tank (Fig. 1, N), Drip tray (Fig. 1, J), Drip grille (Fig. 1, H) and Container (Fig. 1, G) with warm water, a mild washing up liquid and possibly a brush. 0 From time to time, remove the coffee bean container and clear away any res- idues. 0 Each time the machine is used for frothing, remove the frothing aid and clean off any milk remains. The air intake opening under the seal must not become blocked. This can be cleaned out with a thin needle. 13.2 Cleaning the height adjustment 0 If the height adjustment of the coffee dispenser becomes stiff, remove the container, open the service cover and remove it. Slide the height adjuster right down, and off the bottom. To do this, gently raise the inside catch. Use warm water to clean any coffee resi- dues from both parts. Reassemble the two parts. To do this, gently pull up the catch. Check the ease of movement of the height adjuster. Refit the service cover and push the container back in place. 13.3 Emptying the Container At regular intervals, after every 16 cof- fee brews, the „Waste container“ indi- cator (Fig. 3, j) signals that the container has to be emptied and cleaned.
