Safety Information
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
This appliance conforms to accepted
technological standards with regard to
safety, and to the Appliance Safety
Law. As the manufacturer, we never-
theless wish to familiarise you with the
following safety information.
1
• 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, which can be
adjusted according to type of coffee
bean, and
General safety
• The coffee machine must be connected
only to a mains power current of which
the voltage, type of supply and fre-
quency conform to the details shown
on the type plate (this can be found on
the underside of the appliance)!
• 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
• last, but not least, the guaranteed
crema, that small crown of froth that
makes espresso coffee so unique for
connoisseurs
– the housing shows visible signs of
damage.
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!
• Ensure that the coffee machine is
switched off before plugging into the
mains socket.
• This appliance is not intended for use
by people (including children) who, due
to lack of experience or knowledge, are
unable to operate it safely, or for use
by people (including children) whose
physical, sensory or mental capabilities
are reduced, unless a person responsi-
ble for them has shown them how to
use it safely, and has supervised them
initially.
Child safety
• Do not leave the coffee machine run-
ning unattended, and take special
care when children are about!
• Packaging material, e.g. plastic bags,
should not be accessible to children.
Safety in operation
• Caution! The coffee dispenser, steam
nozzle and cup rack become hot in
operation. Keep children at a safe dis-
tance!
35
g
• Caution! Danger of scalding when the
steam nozzle is activated! Hot water
or steam output can cause scalding.
Activate the steam nozzle only when
you are holding a container under the
nozzle.
• 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.
• Do not use steam to heat inflammable
liquids!
• Only use the coffee machine with
water in the system! Fill the water tank
only with cold water. Do not use hot
water, milk or other liquids. Do not
exceed the maximum fill level of
approx. 1.8 litres.
• Do not put frozen or caramelised cof-
fee beans in the bean container. Use
only roasted 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 effects ofweather.
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 cof-
fee machine, or
• the AEG/Electrolux Service Line.
If the machine is misused or incor-
rectly operated the manufacturer
accepts no liability for damage and
the guarantee is invalidated - like-
wise if the descaling program is not
carried out in accordance with these
operating instructions immediately
after the message «PLEASE DES-
CALE!» is displayed.
• When using an extension lead, use only
a commercially available cable with a
conductor cross-section of at least
2
1.5 mm .
• To avoid injury, people with motor sys-
tem disorders should never use the
machine without an accompanying
person.
• Operate the machine only when the
drip tray, waste coffee container and
the drip grid are installed!
Safety in cleaning and care
• Follow the cleaning and descaling
instructions.
• Switch off the coffee machine and
unplug it 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!

7.1 Tips for making hotter coffee
• When you turn the appliance on, if
you want to make a short coffee
(less than 60 ml), use the hot rinse-
through water to preheat the cups.
• Set a higher coffee temperature in
the corresponding menu; see „Set-
ting the coffee temperature“,
page 47.
• If you have not dispensed coffee for
a long period of time with the
machine switched on, you should
rinse the system before dispensing
again, to pre-heat the brewing unit.
Select the rinsing function in the
corresponding menu (see „Running
the rinsing program“, page 42). Run
off the water into the underlying
drip tray, or alternatively use this
water to fill (and then empty) the
cup to be used for the coffee, so as
to pre-heat the cup.

Do not add ground coffee during the
brewing process. Only put in ground
coffee for the next cup when the
brewing process has completely fin-
ished and the coffee machine is ready.
Never add the ground coffee when the
appliance is off, as otherwise it will be
dispersed inside the appliance.
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.
To make a cappuccino, fill a large cup
1/2 to 2/3 full with espresso, and then
add the frothed milk.

Use only ground coffee for fully auto-
mated espresso coffee makers. Do not
put coffee beans, any water-soluble or
freeze-dried instant products or any
other drink powder into the ground
coffee filler. Coffee powder which is
too fine can lead to blockages.

coffees made. Every 14 single coffees
(or 7 doubles) the appliance displays
the message: «EMPTY WASTE
COFFEE CONTAINER» to indicate
that the waste coffee container is full
and must be emptied and cleaned.
Until the waste coffee container has
been cleaned, the appliance continues
to display the message and cannot
make coffee.
