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!

Each time before switching on the cof-  
fee machine, check that there is water  
in the water tank, and refill if neces-  
sary. The coffee machine requires water  
for the automatic rinsing processes  
each time the machine is switched on  
or off.

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.

Making several cups of  
coffee with the jug  
function  
This function allows you to make sev-  
eral cups of coffee completely auto-  
matically, which are poured into the  
stainless steel thermos jug that is  
supplied: Grinding, portioning, press-  
ing, pre-brewing, brewing and ejection  
of the coffee grounds are as described  
in the previous section.  
The appliance is preset to make coffee  
of normal strength and in a medium  
cup size. You can also set your pre-  
ferred cup size and strength as  
described in the section „Setting the  
jug program (coffee strength and fill  
level for jug function)“, page 47.  
Turn the lid of the stainless steel ther-  
mos jug to the position for removal  
(Fig. 17), and take the lid off the jug.  
Rinse both the lid and the thermos jug.  
Place the thermos jug under the coffee  
dispenser (D), with the lid in position  
for pouring (fig 18). The dispenser must  
be slid up fully to allow the jug to be  
pushed in.  
The display shows continuosly «FILL  
BEAN CONT. AND WATER

PRESS OK» to remind you of the  
basic operations that are necessary in  
order to allow the preparation of a  
series of coffees for the jug.

tank is full, the bean container has  
enough coffee beans, and the waste  
coffee container is empty, press the  
"OK" key (Fig. 5).

• Unless they have been pre-heated,  
do not use cups that are too thick, as  
they will absorb too much heat.  
• Use cups that have been pre-heated

leaving them for at least 20 minutes  
on the heated cup rack (H) with the  
coffee machine on.

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.

14.2 Emptying the waste coffee  
container  
14 Cleaning and Care  
To ensure consistent coffee quality and  
faultless operation, always keep your  
coffee machine clean.  
The appliance counts the number of  
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.  
14.1 Regular cleaning  
Caution! Before cleaning, switch off  
the coffee machine and allow it to cool  
down.

Note! Never put the coffee machine or  
1
separate parts of the coffee machine in  
the dishwasher. Never immerse the  
coffee maker in water.

To clean it, unlock and open the service  
door by pushing the respective button  
(Fig. 30), then remove the drip tray  
(Fig. 31), and empty and clean it.  
Empty the waste coffee container and  
clean it thoroughly, making sure that  
all residues deposited on the bottom  
are removed.  
Note! Never put water in the coffee  
bean container, as this would damage  
the grinder.  
1
Do not use any abrasive, scouring or  
1
corrosive cleaning materials. Wipe the  
inside and outside of the case only  
with a damp cloth.  
Important: Each time you pull out the  
drip tray, the waste coffee container  
must also be emptied, even if it is not  
completely full. If this is not done,  
when coffee is next made, the grounds  
in the container may exceed the maxi-  
mum level and block the appliance.

Remove the water tank daily (Fig. 6)  
and discard any remaining water. Rinse  
out the water tank with fresh water.  
Use fresh water every day.  
Empty the waste coffee container daily  
or at the latest when the display  
prompts you to do so; see „Emptying  
the waste coffee container“, page 50.  
Regularly drain the drip tray. This can  
be done at any time, but must be done  
when the red drip tray float (Fig. 28)  
appears through the opening in the  
drip grid.  
When you have removed the waste  
container, the display shows «INSERT  
WASTE COFFEE CONTAINER».

Regularly (at least once per week)  
clean the water tank (N), drip tray (O),  
drip grid (A) and waste coffee con-  
tainer (Q) with warm water, a mild  
washing up liquid and possibly a brush.

Each time the machine is used for  
frothing, remove the steam nozzle and  
clean off any milk residues, see „Clean-  
ing the steam nozzle“, page 45.  
Check that the holes in the coffee dis-  
penser are not blocked. To unblock  
them, scrape any dry coffee residues  
away with a needle (Fig. 29).

unit when the appliance is on may  
cause serious damage.  
Wash the brewing unit under running  
water, without using detergents. Never  
wash the brewing unit in the dish-  
washer.  
Clean the inside of the appliance thor-  
oughly. To remove coffee encrustations  
from the inside of the appliance, scrape  
with a plastic or wooden fork or similar

Use a small quantity of coffee beans to  
test the proper operation of the
