Followed by “PLEASE Flush”.
Press the rotary control.
The display shows “SYSTEM FLUSHES”.
Once the system has reached operating temperature, the main menu will appear in the display to
show that the appliance is ready for use.
The rst cup: When you prepare your rst cup of coffee the grinder will be empty. It is possible that
after the initial grinding the display will show “REFILL BEANS” and no coffee is produced.
In case that happens, please follow the display’s instruction and press the rotary control again.
The process will then be repeated.
Note: If you are using a lter and programmed the system to “FILTER INSERTED? YES”, the internal
water softening is automatically set to water hardness level 1! The appliance needs descaling less
frequently – but always descale when asked to do so and always with FILTER REMOVED. The lter will
be at after approx. 50 l of water have been drawn (changing lter see chapter 3.1).
Attention: Even if the display does not indicate “PLEASE CHANGE FILTER“, the lter needs changing after
a maximum of two months if the appliance is not used regularly (see chapter 5.8.).
2.4.2. Using the appliance without lter
If you prefer to use the appliance without lter, the lter setting “FILTER INSERTED? NO” needs
to be set. This is important because depending on the water hardness the appliance needs to be
descaled more often (ex-factory the appliance comes with the setting “FILTER INSERTED? NO”!).
Turn the rotary control to “FILTER INSERTED? NO”.
Press rotary control to conrm.
The display shows the level of water hardness.
Note: For production reasons the internal pipes may be empty when setting the appliance up for the
rst time. The appliance will show this as follows: on the display it says „PLEASE FILL”, once the appli-
ance has been switched on with the On/Off switch (g. 1/H).
Place a sufciently large bowl (minimum contents 0.5 l) under the spout.
Press rotary control.
The system is being lled with water which may emerge from the spout (g. 1/E).
Once the system has reached production temperature, the display shows “PLEASE RINSE”.
Press rotary control.
The system is now being lled with water.
2.4.3. Adjusting the water hardness
Depending on the water hardness in your area, the appliance needs to be descaled every now and
again. For the system to be able to indicate that this is necessary, you need to set the correct water
hardness prior to rst use.
Level 3 is the ex-factory pre-set level.
First test the water quality with the enclosed test strip:
Dip the test strip into the water and shake it lightly.
After about one minute you will be able to read the result by counting the red dots on the test strip.
The different levels are listed as follows and can be adjusted:
Test strip / Degree of hardness = Display
1 red dot / 1–7° = LEVEL 1
2 red dots / 8–14° = LEVEL 2
3 red dots / 15–21° = LEVEL 3
4 red dots / >21° = LEVEL 4
Tip: If the test strip does not show any red dots, please set up level 1.
How to set up the water hardness:
Turn the rotary control onto the correct degree of hardness.
Press the rotary control to conrm.
The display shows “NIVONA”.
The display shows “PLEASE RINSE”.
Press the rotary control. The display shows “SYSTEM IS CLEANING”.
The system is now being lled with water and heated up.
Once the appliance is ready for use the main menu is shown on the display.
The rst cup: When you prepare your rst cup of coffee the grinder will be empty. It is possible that
after the initial grinding the display will show “REFILL BEANS”, and no coffee is produced.
Follow the display and press the rotary control again.
The process will then be repeated.
2.5. Switching the appliance on during operation
When you have started the appliance for the rst time (g. 2.4), proceed as follows for all other start-ups:
Switch the appliance on using the on/off switch (g. 1/H).
The display shows “NIVONA, SYSTEM IS HEATING UP”.
Once production temperature has been reached, the display shows “PLEASE RINSE”.
Press the rotary control.
The system is now being rinsed. Afterwards the appliance is operational. The display shows the main
menu (g. 1/A).
Tip: If you do not use the appliance for a prolonged period of time (e.g. holidays), switch it off using
the on/off switch (g. 1/J) and pull the mains plug.
Tip: The machine has a pre-programmed setting ex-factory for each coffee variety. This means that
you can brew your rst coffee straightaway (see chapter 4.). However, we do recommend making the
necessary adjustments according to your preferences before you do so (see chapter 3.)
2.6. Pre-heating cups (model 858)
Your appliance comes with a function for pre-heating cups.
Pressing the button (g.1/K) activates the cup heating. To do this the on/off switch needs to be
switched on (g. 1/H).
The display shows “CUP HEATING ON”.
By pressing the button again (g. 1/K) the cup heater is switched off.
The display shows “CUP HEATING OFF”.
Tip: Pre-heat the cups according to your personal preference to optimize aroma and temperature.
Note: If AUTO ON is switched on and you want the cup heating to start automatically, please also set
the cup heating on AUTO ON (see 3.6.).
2.7. ECO mode
If neither rotary control nor any button is used for a longer period of time, the appliance automati-
cally switches into ECO mode. The display shows “SAVING ENERGY”.
By using the rotary control or any button, the appliance switches back into standard mode.
The display shows the main menu.
