1. PRODUCT WARRANTY REGISTRATION
pressure brewing system - well known in commercial applica-
tions - was adapted and refined by Jura coffee specialists and is
the trademark of each Jura-Capresso coffee center. This two-
step brewing system ensures optimal coffee extraction and will
finish every cup with a rich layer of "crema" - proof for perfectly
pressure brewed coffee. The built-in low-noise, commercial coni-
cal burr grinder grinds beans to the correct fineness (6 settings).
A separate filler funnel lets you use pre-ground coffee. The sec-
ond Thermoblock generates unlimited steam instantly. With the
Dual Frother Plus you can steam and froth (for cappuccino) or
just steam milk (for lattes). The unique frothXpress Plus system
siphons, heats, steams and froths milk automatically. You can
also program a specific amount of frothed/steamed milk and the
machine will always deliver the correct volume. A separate hot
water spout lets you prepare a cup of tea or any other hot bev-
erage in seconds. With four pre-set coffee buttons, an A La
Carte button and the easy-to-use Rotary dial you can brew
exactly the coffee you desire.You can re-program cup size,
coffee strength and temperature. You can select from different

According to the majority of coffee experts, grinding, tamping
and brewing under high pressure is the ideal extracting process
for maximum flavor and aroma. Your Jura-Capresso automatic

aromatics and the light gaseous flavors that register on the
palate.The high pressure and the short brewing time prevent the
extraction of bitter oils and release less caffeine than any other
brewing method. You will always make the absolute freshest
and most aromatic cup of coffee. This is the reason why many
European restaurants and hotels serve only fresh pressured
brewed coffee. Experiment with your new machine and prepare
yourself the best and most enjoyable cup of coffee!
coffees and instant coffees.
• Espresso is not a bean, it's the way the coffee is roasted and
prepared. Typical US espresso roasts result in darker beans with
an oily surface. European espresso roasts are medium brown
with no or very little oils on the surface.
All Display Messages Are Shown in RED
4. PLEASE, DON’T... (or you void your warranty protection):
• Never pull out the drawer during the brewing process. Only
pull the drawer when the display instructs you or when the
display shows SELECT PRODUCT.
• Never fill instant coffee into the bean container or ground coffee
funnel; it can damage the brewing chamber.
• Never fill sugar coated coffee beans into the bean container.
• Never fill frozen beans into the bean container. If you store
beans in the freezer, let them thaw 3 to 4 hours before filling
them into the bean container.
• Never fill anything other than coffee beans into the bean
container (no chocolate, rice, nuts, spices, etc.)
• Never fill anything but fresh, cold clean water into the water
container, except when decalcifying (chapter 29).
• Never use mineral or carbonated water. You can use tap
water, bottled water, spring water, distilled water and reverse
osmosis water.
3b. DIFFERENT COFFEE DRINKS
Here are some guidelines for the most popular coffee drinks:
• Ristretto: 1/2 to 1 oz. of coffee. Sweeten to taste.
• Espresso: 1 to 2 oz. coffee. Sweeten to taste.
• Double Shot: 3 to 4 oz. of coffee. Sweeten to taste.
• Crema Coffee: 5 to 8 oz. of coffee.
• Cappuccino: Espresso plus 3 to 4 oz. of hot frothed milk.
• Latte: Espresso plus 3-5 oz. steamed milk with little or no froth.
• Café Mocha: Make Espresso then add chocolate syrup to the
milk before frothing/steaming.
TIP: Experiment with the size of your milk based drinks. For
stronger coffee taste add more coffee, for more milk taste add
more frothed milk.
3c. COFFEE FACTS
• Caffeine is tasteless. A "strong" coffee or espresso is mostly
the result of the amount of coffee in relation to the amount of
water. The longer a bean is roasted, the less caffeine it has.
• Arabica and Robusta are two genetically different kinds of
beans. "Arabica" beans have more flavor and a little less caffeine
than "Robusta" beans which are mostly used in lower priced
• Never repair or open the machine yourself. All repairs should
be performed only by an authorized service center.
PLEASE, DO...
• Fill water tank with fresh, cold water only.

and use as described in the ground coffee funnel (chapter 11).
Please note: If you like flavored coffees we recommend to add
flavors to your coffee after brewing. This way you can use your
regular coffee beans in the bean container. Adding the flavors
after brewing lets you control the intensity much better than with
pre-flavored coffee. Your local coffee store typically carries a
variety of flavors.
press one of the steam buttons (Fig. 3,M). SYSTEM FILLING.
The machine will dispense a little bit of water through the
steam nozzle. HEATING UP / PRESS RINSE.
• Place cup underneath the dual coffee spout (Fig. 8) and press
the RINSE button (Fig. 2,E). MACHINE RINSING. The
machine will dispense a little bit of hot water through the coffee
spout. SELECT PRODUCT.
Please note: You can only make coffee when the display reads
SELECT PRODUCT and the machine is not in programming mode.
• Open the Cover Lid (Fig. 5).
• Remove the Aroma Protection Lid (Fig. 6).
• Make sure the bean container is empty and clean. Fill beans
into the bean container (Fig. 7).
• Place a cup under the coffee spout and push one of the coffee
buttons. The machine will grind and brew coffee. If the display
shows FILL BEANS push one of the coffee buttons again.
• Discard the first two cups of coffee.
Frozen Beans: Thaw 3 to 4 hours before adding to bean
container. This prevents moisture from seeping into the grinder.
You are now ready to brew coffee.
Oily Beans: Beans with an oily surface tend to stick together.
This may prevent a continuous flow of beans from the bean
container into the burrs. As a result the grinder does not grind
enough coffee and you might get weak or no coffee at all.
Stir the beans in the bean container just before grinding.
Alternatively, you can also pour the beans in an open bowl and
let them sit for about 5 hours. The oils will evaporate (this will
not change the taste of your coffee). Then fill the beans into the
bean grinder. Now beans will feed into the burrs more easily.
CUP ILLUMINATION
The cup illumination adds a dramatic touch to brewing coffee.
Providing the machine is plugged in, you can activate the cup
illumination for 3 minutes by pressing any button.
7. ADJUSTING THE GRINDER
You can adjust the grinder to the roast of your coffee.
We recommend the following:
• Light roast: use a finer adjustment.
• Dark roast: use a coarser adjustment.
6c. TURNING THE MACHINE ON
• Press the Main Power Switch in the back of the machine (Fig. 1b) • Open the cover of the bean container (Fig. 5).
The On/Off button in the front will illuminate (Fig. 2,B)
• Push the On/Off button. The display shows FILL SYSTEM /
PRESS STEAM.
• To adjust grinding turn the selector switch to the desired
position (Fig.9).
You have the following possibilities:
• The smaller the dots, the finer the grinding.
• Place a container underneath the steam nozzle (Fig. 4) and
12.
• The bigger the dots, the coarser the grinding.
IMPORTANT: The grinding grade can only be adjusted while
the grinder is actually grinding.
ATTENTION: Oily beans tend to stick together. Stir beans just
before grinding to ensure a proper flow of beans into the burrs.
Please note: If coffee does not flow in a constant stream, turn
the grinder to a coarser setting.
• Place one or two cups underneath the Dual Coffee Spouts
and push the desired button. The machine will grind, tamp
and then brew the coffee. It uses a 2-step brewing process
(pre-brew phase), pauses for a few seconds, and then starts
the brewing process. The display will show the name of the
button you pushed, e.g. 1 ESPRESSO and the selected coffee
strength, e.g. STRONG.
Please note: when pushing any of the two-cup buttons, the cof-
fee strength is not displayed.
8. DAILY PREPARATION
We recommend filling the water container every morning with
fresh, cold water. This will enhance the taste of your coffee.
• Make sure the Main Power Switch is on (Fig. 1b). In this case
the On/Off button is illuminated.
• Push the On/Off button. The display shows HEATING UP.
After approx. 2 minutes the display shows PRESS RINSE.
• Push the Rinse Button (Fig. 2,E). Hot water will warm up all
internal parts and pump through the coffee spouts MACHINE
RINSING. The water will be caught in the drawer underneath.
The rinse cycle stops by itself and the display reads: SELECT
PRODUCT. You are now ready to make coffee.
Important: After the brewing stops the machine will discard the
used coffee grounds. Please do not try to pull out the drawer
(Fig.1,18) during this operation. It can seriously damage the
machine.There is no need to pull out the drawer until the display
shows the message EMPTY TRAY or EMPTY GROUNDS.
Please note: You can always stop the brewing process by
pressing any of the coffee buttons.
9a. OVERRIDING CUP SIZE
During brewing you can override the cup size for any of the four
coffee buttons as follows.
• When the coffee starts brewing, open the Cover for the
Rotary Dial (Fig. 1.19 ) and turn the Rotary Dial (Fig. 3A,P).
The display will show the cup size in oz. You can change the
coffee volume from 1 to 8 oz.
• When you push one of the double cup buttons, the display
shows the coffee volume per cup, e.g. if it shows 6 oz., the
machine will brew a total of 12 oz. of coffee.
Please note: Overriding the cup size will not change the pre-set
cup size. The next time you push one of the four buttons, it will
automatically brew the pre-set volume. See chapter 16 how to
change the pre-set values permanently.
Please note: Under normal use the machine will automatically
complete a rinse cycle when it is turned off (or when the
machine turns off automatically). If you have not brewed any
coffee at all the machine will not run a rinse cycle when turning off.
9. BREWING COFFEE AND ESPRESSO
The machine has four pre-set coffee buttons, 1 ESPRESSO,
2 ESPRESSI, 1 COFFEE, 2 COFFEES (Fig. 2).
All buttons are pre-set for coffee strength, coffee volume and
temperature.
13.
9b. THE A LA CARTE BUTTON
Frothing (Cappuccino): Injecting hot steam into the milk to warm
the milk and create a firm layer of tiny bubbles.
Steaming (Latte): Injecting hot steam to warm the milk without a
frothy layer.
The S Avantgarde has a fifth coffee button (Fig. 3A,N). With this
button you can change the coffee volume and the coffee
strength just before brewing.
• Push the A LA CARTE button. The display shows A LA
CARTE and the strengths,e.g. MILD.
10a. USING THE DUAL FROTHER PLUS
• Turn the Rotary Dial to choose any of five strength settings
(XMILD, MILD, NORMAL, STRONG, XSTRONG).
• Then push the Rotary Dial. The machine starts grinding. Now
you can dial the coffee volume
Please note: If you push the A LA CARTE button and you do
not push the Rotary Dial within a few seconds, the display will
revert to SELECT PRODUCT.
Frothing Position: The cylinder of the frother is pushed down.
Steaming Position: The cylinder is pushed up ( see Fig. 14).
• Fill at least 4 to 5 oz. of cold milk into a frothing pitcher. The
pitcher should have at least a 10 to 12 oz. capacity. You can
also use a larger pitcher (e.g. 20 oz.) and fill it with up to 13 oz.
of milk. (Normally 3 to 5 oz. of milk is what you need for one
cappuccino or one latte). Always start with cold milk. Skim
milk will produce the most froth and will let you taste more of
the coffee. Milk with 1% and 2% fat will give you a bit less froth.
Regular milk (3% fat) will produce even less froth.
The machine is ready to produce steam as long as both red
lights in the steam buttons are illuminated (Fig. 3,K & M).
• If they are off, just push either button. Both lights will start
blinking for about 15 to 30 seconds and then will stay
illuminated (chapter 16.6).
10. CAPPUCCINO AND LATTE
The Impressa S Series can be operated with two different froth-
ing systems:
a) The Dual Frother-PLUS which is mounted on all machines.
b) The frothXpress-PLUS system which is included with the S9
and S7 Avantgarde.
Recommendation:
• If you froth for only one or two cups at a time and want 100%
control over the frothing/steaming process, the Dual Frother-
PLUS might be the preferred equipment. Use with the
PERMANENT STEAM button (Fig. 3,M).
• If you always want the same amount of milk and milk froth in
your cup or you make three, four, five or more cappuccinos in
a row the frothXpress PLUS is definitely faster and more
convenient to use. Ideally use the STEAM PORTION button
(Fig. 3,K).
• Immerse the frother into the milk so that the tip and part of the
cylinder are below the surface of the milk. The tip of the
frother should not touch the bottom of the pitcher.
• Now push the PERMANENT STEAM button (Fig. 3,M). Hot
steam will be injected into the milk. The display will read
DRAW OFF STEAM.
• To stop the steam output, push either steam button again.
The display shows SELECT PRODUCT.
14.
Please note: The tip of the dual frother should be attached
finger tight to the rod (Fig. 14b). The top of the rod is flexible.
Make sure the rod is properly seated over the steam nozzle,
touching the chrome cover (Fig. 4).
steam button. Steam will eject any milk droplets. To stop,
push the steam button again after one or two seconds.
Tip: if the steam nozzle is blocked by hardened milk, use a needle
and loosen up the milk deposit. Then let some steam pass
through the steam nozzle.
Tips for steaming: Leave the sleeve in the "up" position
(Fig. 14). Make sure that the milk does not start boiling. You can
stop the steaming process at any time by pushing either steam
button. To continue steaming, push either steam button again.
Tips for frothing: Start with the frother in the steaming position
("up") for 10 to 20 seconds, depending how much milk you are
working with. This way the milk is first heated. Then push down
the cylinder. The sound will change and milk-froth will build up
immediately. This way the froth on top of your milk is also warm.
If the milk is not warm enough, continue in the steaming position.
Attention: When moving the sleeve of the Dual Frother up and
down, avoid touching the metal parts since they become hot
during operation.
10c. USING THE FROTHXPRESS PLUS SYSTEM
WITH MILK CONTAINER
The frothXpress system lets you produce hot steamed or frothed
milk right into your cup. After playing a bit with this attachment
you will be able to get exactly the amount of frothed or steamed
milk you want in your cup (refer to the video).
• Remove the Dual-Frother-PLUS.
• Fill the milk container with cold milk.
• Assemble the milk container as shown in Fig. 15.
• Attach the frothXpress-PLUS system as shown in Fig. 15a.
Important: This system siphons milk and mixes it inside the
frothXpress with hot steam. It is necessary that all parts are con-
nected tightly, otherwise the siphoning process will not work.
Frothing Position: The dial points to the upper part of the face
(frothing range). Start with the dial pointing to the "-" symbol (12
o'clock). Milk will be siphoned, heated and frothed. For hotter
milk, move the lever towards the "+" symbol (See Fig. 15).
Steaming Position: The dial points to the lower part of the face
(steaming range). Start with the dial pointing to the "-" symbol (6
o'clock). Milk will be siphoned and heated with no froth. For hotter
milk move the lever towards the "+" symbol.
10b. CLEANING THE DUAL FROTHER PLUS
The tip and sleeve of the frother are high precision parts (Fig. 14b).
Always keep those parts clean and free of any milk residue.
Make sure that all openings and grooves in the tip are free of
any milk deposits.
• After finishing frothing, remove the Dual Frother Plus and
immerse it in a cup with warm water. This is the easiest way to
keep the milk from hardening. When replacing the frother
push it up and make sure it covers the steam nozzle com-
pletely (Fig. 4, Fig. 14b)
Steam Only Position: When the dial points to the steam symbol
(3 o'clock), the siphoning is blocked. Only steam will pass
through the frother Fig. 16.
Cleaning the steam nozzle: The Dual Frother PLUS is off (Fig. 4).

Frothing
TIP: After filling your cup(s) with the desired amount of hot
frothed milk you can immediately move it (them) underneath the
coffee spouts and brew coffee.
• Place a cup underneath the frothXpress (see Fig. 15a). The
machine is ready to produce steam as long as both green
lights in the steam buttons are illuminated. If they are off, just
push either button. Both lights will start blinking for about 15
seconds and then will stay illuminated.
• Make sure that the dial points to the 12 o'clock position.
• Press the PERMANENT steam button. The display will read
STEAM INTAKE and frothing will begin immediately.
• When you have enough frothed milk push the button again.
Frothing will stop.
If you always use the same amount of frothed/steamed milk, you
can use the STEAM PORTION button (Fig. 3,K). Steam will be
dispensed for the programmed time and then it will stop auto-
matically. During this time the display shows STEAM PORTION.
The factory setting is for 14 seconds of steaming. You can pro-
gram the steam portion button to froth from 3 to 250 seconds
(see chapter 15.4).
10d. USING THE FROTHXPRESS PLUS SYSTEM
WITH FLEXIBLE HOSE (Fig. 17)
The machine comes equipped with a long flexible hose. This is
useful if you have your regular milk in the milk container and you
want to use another milk or chocolate milk.
• Insert the black connecting piece into the frothXpress system.
Insert the other side of the flexible hose into a milk carton.
• Now froth or steam as described in chapter 10c.
10e. HOT CHOCOLATE, CAFE MOCHA
For hot chocolate fill the milk container with the desired amount
of chocolate syrup, add cold milk and stir well. Then proceed as
described under "Frothing". Adding a shot or two of espresso
makes it a Café Mocha.
Hotter Milk
• If you want your frothed milk hotter, move the dial to the
middle position (3 o'clock).
• Lift the cup so that the bottom of the frother is slightly
immersed into the milk. Push the PERMANENT steam button.
Hot steam will increase the milk temperature. Push the button
again to stop.
10f. CLEANING THE FROTHXPRESS PLUS
• Remove the hose which connects the frothXpress Plus and
the milk container.
• Store the milk container in the refrigerator.
• Remove the frothXpress from the steam nozzle.
• Drop the hose and the frothXpress in a cup with warm water.
This will prevent the milk from hardening.
Steaming
• Place a cup underneath the steam nozzle and push the
PERMANENT steam button and let steam pass through for a
second or two (see Fig. 4).
Setting the dial to the lower part of the face, will eliminate any
froth build up. Milk will be siphoned and warmed. Otherwise it is
the same procedure as explained above under "Frothing".
• Replace the frothXpress-PLUS system.
16.
FILL POWDER/SELECT PRODUCT.
• Fill 1 or 2 level measuring scoops of ground coffee into the
opening for ground coffee (Fig. 1,11).
• Now push one of the four coffee buttons to brew your coffee.
Please note: If the GROUND COFFEE button (Fig. 3A,O) is
pressed by mistake just press one of the coffee buttons NOT
ENOUGH POWDER. The machine will automatically stop brewing
and return to SELECT PRODUCT.
Please note: After use of sugar coated or flavored coffee
through the pre-ground coffee funnel you may experience some
flavor transfer when switching back to your regular coffee. Select
the function RINSE in Programming and a manual rinse cycle
(chapter 17.1).
For a more thorough cleaning you can take the pieces apart.
When attaching the chrome sleeve to the black nipple, angle it
as shown above. Use a twisting back and forth motion and
gently push the two pieces together.
10g. CLEANING THE MILK CONTAINER
• Remove the lid of the milk container. (The milk container is
dishwasher safe; upper rack.)
12. USING HOT WATER
• Place a cup under the height-adjustable coffee spout
(Fig. 8a or 8b) and turn selector switch to the right (Fig. 3,L)
to the water symbol. Hot water will come out of the hot water
spout (Fig.1,14). During this time the display shows:
WATER PORTION. After 5 oz. of hot water (factory setting) the
flow will stop automatically. The display shows: CLOSE TAP.
• Turn the selector switch back to the coffee symbol (Fig. 3,L)
SELECT PRODUCT. To change the programmed amount of
hot water (chapter 16.4).
• Clean the lid and the two metal hoses with warm water.
• Assemble as shown in Fig. 15.
11. USING GROUND COFFEE
You can also use pre-ground coffee, bypassing the grinder. This
comes in handy if someone requests decaf coffee or a decaf
cappuccino. You can also use the pre-ground funnel for ground
flavored coffee.
Please note: Never fill the funnel with instant coffee. Do not fill
the funnel with more than two scoops. The funnel is not a
storage container. If coffee is ground too fine it might be processed
very slowly or the machine will interrupt the process altogether.
• Open cover (Fig. 1,19).
13. WATER CARE
Water is heated inside the machine. With use, this leads to calci-
um deposits forming inside the machine. You have the following
options to take care of the water:
• Press the GROUND COFFEE button (Fig. 3A,O).
Most convenient: Clearyl Water Filter Cartridge (chapter 14).
17.
Least expensive: Decalcifying System (chapter 18.2, 18.3).
Your machine is pre-set in the factory to automatically remind
you to decalcify based on a water hardness of Level 2. You can
change the water hardness setting to comply with the water you
are using (chapter 15a).
• Remove the water tank, make sure it is empty.
• Pull up the cartridge holder and insert the cartridge with its
tapered end down into the water container (Fig. 12, Fig. 13).
Make sure it fits securely inside the fins. Push down gently
(Fig. 13).
Please note: The machine will automatically remind you when it
is necessary to run certain water maintenance programs. It is
important that you follow those instructions. Otherwise your
machine might break down.
• Close the cartridge holder. Make sure the holder snaps into
place.
• Fill the water tank with fresh cold water and replace.

the water hardness in the German hardness scale (which is a bit
different from the American "Grain" scale (see chart below).
You can also use the enclosed water hardness indicator strip to
determine the water hardness:
• Insert the stick for one second into the water you want to
use. Shake off any access water and wait for one minute.
• If all five fields of the test stick turn reddish, set the hardness
level to 5 squares. If four fields turn reddish, set the hardness
level to 4 squares and so on.
Please note: If you use Spring Water or Bottled Water you can
set the hardness level to 1, "extremely soft water".
• Make sure the water tank is empty.
The machine will give you the following options:
• Remove the new cartridge from its bag and rinse under
running water. Now install as explained in chapter 14A.
• Place a 20 oz. container under the Steam Nozzle (Fig. 4).
• Push either steam button. The display shows FILTER RINSING
For the next 90 seconds the machine will push water through
the cartridge and out through the steam nozzle. Initially, the
water may have a slight discoloration. The program will stop
automatically. The display shows SELECT PRODUCT.

If you do not use the Clearyl Filter Cartridge (chapters 14 – 14b.)
the machine will remind you when it is time to perform a decalci-
fying cycle. The machine is set to medium hard water. If you
have harder water you need to set it to a higher level. If you have
softer water you can set it to a lower level. If you are not sure
about the hardness of your water, ask your local water company
*Not Active: You can only use this setting for distilled water.
Level 5 and Level 6: If your tap water is very hard and falls into
these two categories, decalcifying will be frequent. In this case
bottled water is recommended.

Grinding
Please refer to chapter 7 "Adjusting the Grinder."
Pre-warm cups
• If the message persists, call customer service.
You should warm cups in advance with hot water or steam.
The smaller the quantity of coffee, the more important it is to
warm your cups.

TROUBLESHOOTING:
A. NO COFFEE COMES OUT OF THE COFFEE SPOUT
Reason: Beans in bean container are not feeding properly into
the grinder because they are stuck together.

Solution: Stir beans before grinding and while grinding turn the
grinding selector to the coarsest setting.
When using very oily beans pour the beans onto a plate and let

Skim milk will produce the thickest and longest lasting froth. Full
Reason: You used ground coffee in the ground coffee funnel.
The ground coffee was too fine.
fat milk will produce less thick froth.
Reason: The components of the frother are not assembled
properly, or the components are clogged with hardened milk, or
one or more of the components is missing, or the steam nozzle
is clogged.
Solution: Use ground coffee which is ground somewhat coarser.
Reason: No water is transported through the system.
Solution: Remove water container and make sure that the con-
necting valve is free of any particles (like a coffee bean etc).
Reason: The ground coffee funnel is clogged; the internal brew-
ing chamber is clogged.
Solution: Place a large cup underneath the coffee spout. Push
the rinse button (Fig. 2E) a few times until the blocked coffee is
removed. (Never fill more than 2 scoops of coffee in the ground
coffee funnel; the funnel is not a storage area for ground coffee).
Also, use a ground coffee which is ground somewhat coarser.
Solution:
a. Remove frother. Check that steam comes out of the steam
nozzle. If not, use a needle and clear blockage from inside
steam nozzle.
b. Clean all other frother parts and assemble properly.
See chapters 10b, 10f.
c. If any parts are missing call Customer Service:
1-800-220-5701 or use the enclosed mail order form to order
the missing part.
B. THE DISPLAY READS "FILL WATER" BUT THERE IS
ENOUGH WATER IN THE WATER TANK.
D. GRINDER MAKES AN EXTREMELY LOUD NOISE;
NO BEANS ARE GROUND
Reason: A stone or something else is blocking the burr grinder.
Reason: The low water floatation device (Fig.1,4) is missing.
Solution: Within the water tank is a small compartment (like a
mouse trap). Inside is a small black floatation device. On top is a
small clear see-through plastic cover. This small plastic cover is
missing and the floatation device is outside of the small com-
partment. Check if you can find both pieces inside the water
tank and put it back together. If you cannot find the pieces call
1-800-220-5701. We will send the pieces FREE OF CHARGE.
Solution: See chapter 16.5 and 16.6.
E. THE REMOVABLE DRAWER (Fig.1, 18) DOESN’T COME OUT
Reason: The internal used coffee disposal chute did not retract.
Solution: Turn off the machine. Wait a minute. Turn machine on
and wait until it stops making any noise. Now try to pull out the
drawer. If this does not work, turn the machine off. Now pull the
31.
drawer out with some force. You will feel some resistance. When
the drawer is out you will see that the back wall of the used cof-
fee container (Fig.1,16) is missing.
You can order these supplies:
• with the enclosed mail order form or
• by calling our customer service center at 1-800-220-5701.
Reach into the machine and retrieve the back wall (it is a small
black flexible piece). Set the used coffee container aside and
insert the drawer (without the used coffee container) into the
machine. Turn the machine on. Wait until all noise has stopped.
The disposable chute should retract. Remove the drawer,
replace the used coffee container and insert it back into the
machine. Check if the drawer comes out easily.
