pliance does not rinse itself if the

▶
cessary.
Do not let escaping liquids or
▶
steam come into contact with your
skin.
Notes
¡ With a number of settings your cof-
fee is prepared in several steps.
Wait until the process is fully com-
pleted.
¡ If you are dispensing a beverage
with milk, always connect the milk
container filled with milk or the
milk adapter to a milk carton.
¡ You can only connect the milk con-
tainer or milk adapter if the milk
system is fitted with the adapter
and the hose in the beverage out-
let cover.
¡ The milk container is specially de-
signed for this appliance. Only use
the milk container for storing milk
in the refrigerator and in the
house.
¡ If the milk system has not been
cleaned, small amounts of milk
may escape when hot water is dis-
pensed.
Tips
¡ You can also use plant-based al-
ternatives to milk, e.g. soya milk.
¡ The quality of the milk foam de-
pends on the type of milk or the
plant-based alternative used.
7.3 doubleShot and tripleShot
Your appliance grinds the coffee two
or three times.
To ensure that only pleasant-tasting
and easily digestible aromatic sub-
stances are released, coffee beans
are freshly ground and brewed again
by the appliance.
The longer coffee brews, the more
bitter substances and undesirable
aromas are released. These bitter
substances and undesirable aromas
affect the taste and digestibility of
coffee.
Note: The functions "doubleShot" and
"tripleShot" depend on the beverage
strength and beverage size selected.

tremely hot.
Never touch the milk system when
