GENERAL MACHINE-RELATED QUESTIONS

HOW DO I PUT MY K-FEE® MACHINE INTO OPERATION FOR THE FIRST TIME?

  1. Remove the machine, the water tank, the drip tray including the pan and the grid, as well as the capsule container from the box.
  2. Remove the protective foil from the drip grid (optional), place the drip grid on the drip pan and place them along with the capsule container onto the drip tray. Slide these into the front of the machine.

  5. The machine will now heat up. Place a vessel under the spout and rinse the machine according to the manual.
  6. Empty the vessel and repeat the flush operation another three times. Now your K-fee® machine is 100% prepared.

CAN I CHANGE THE CUP FILLING QUANTITY?

The coffee & espresso maker is factory-set to a certain oz amount for each drink /button. You can change this setting as follows: Press the desired button for at least 3 seconds and hold down the button until the desired filling quantity has been reached. The adjustable range varies depending on the machine type. For further information please refer to the operating instructions of the devices.

This filling quantity is saved and remains stored even after you turn off the machine.

IS THE MACHINE FROST-PROOF?

Extreme temperatures may damage the pod machine. For this reason, the device may only be used at temperatures above 50 degrees and should be protected from frost. If the K-fee® machine is transported at temperatures below freezing point, all water should be evaporated from the device beforehand. This will prevent residual water from freezing. You can find the instructions for evaporating the machine in the operating manual of your K-fee® machine.

Never use vinegar or vinegar cleaner as a substitute for descaler, as it may damage the tubes and seals of the machine.
