If no new filter is fitted, the correct
water hardness must be set (see Sec-
tion 2.6). Otherwise the appliance will
become calcified. This endangers your
rights to make a claim under the guar-
antee and the appliance could be dam-
aged!
Please note that the filter cartridge
must be replaced either after brewing
approx. 500 cups of coffee or after
6 weeks (whichever is the sooner).
The cartridge cannot be cleaned and
must be replaced with a new one.
Important:
Regardless of how often
the appliance has been used the water
filter must be changed without fail
after 2 months at the latest
in order
to avoid a build-up of bacteria in the
filter.
You can purchase a new water filter
either from a specialist retailer
(E No. 900 084 951/4) or from your
nearest AEG Service Force Centre
(ET No. 900 084 951/4).
2.8. “Rinsing” the Appliance
Rinsing removes any remaining water
from the system so that the next cof-
fee is made with fresh water.
0
Place an empty cup under the spouts
(Figure 1/N).
0
Turn the programme selector
(Figure 1/Q) to Position 4. “RINSE,
PRESS P BUTTON” appears in the
display.
Brewing stops automatically. “SET P
DIAL TO POS. 1” then appears in the
display.
0
Turn the programme selector to Posi-
tion 1. The type of coffee that was
selected last appears again in the dis-
play. The appliance is now ready for
brewing coffee.
2.9. Adjusting the Safety Cut-
Out
If the appliance is not used for an
extended period of time, it switches
itself off for safety reasons and to save
energy.
You can choose between 5 time set-
tings (automatic cut-out after 1 to
5 hours) or deactivate the safety cut-
out. The
middle setting, 2 (switch off
after 2 hours),
is set in the factory.
You can change this setting as follows:
0
Set the programme selector (Figure 1/Q)
to Position 3. “AUTO SHUT-OFF AFTER
2 HOURS” appears in the display.
0
Keep pressing the selection button on
the programme selector until the time
after which you require the appliance
to switch off appears in the display.
0
Return the programme selector to
Position 1 to store the displayed value.
If “-HOURS” appears in the display, the
safety cut-out is not active. In this case
the appliance will stay on until it is
switched off using the On/Off button
(Figure 1/A).
3. Making Coffee
Although you are brewing espresso
coffee with your coffee machine, the
term coffee is used in the following for
clarity.
Note:
The following process takes
place
fully automatically
once the
coffee selector button (Figure 1/S) has
been pressed: grinding, portioning,
pressing, pre-brewing, brewing, and
ejecting of the used ground coffee.
You can stop this process at any time
by pressing the coffee selector button
again.
Store your cups face downwards on
the
cup rack
(Figure 1/E). Steam
escapes through the openings in the
cup rack and warms the cups!
The
outlet
(Figure 1/N) can be
adjusted in height
and can thus be
adjusted to suit different cup sizes. To
adjust the height, use the thumb and
index finger to grip the ribbing on the
side of the outlet and move it up or
down (Figure
9
).
Important:
Risk of burning!
