Operating The Coffee Machine; Before Starting The Machine; Filling The Water Tank - Gaggia K111-d Gebrauchsanweisung

Operating the coffee machine

Before starting the machine

• Each capsule contains the correct amount of coffee for one cup of caffè lungo, cream
coffee or espresso coffee.
• The amount of water dispensed by the machine varies depending on the type of coffee
your are making: caffè lungo: 5 ml, cream coffee: 5 ml, espresso: 0 ml
• The above amounts are factory-calibrated but they can be changed to suit your personal
taste. You can choose whether to increase or decrease the amount of water for each
variety of capsule. More information about this option is contained in the section of this
manual called "User settings according to user taste".
• Caffè lungo and espresso are more flavoursome if served in a warm cup. To pre-heat the
cup, you simply need to fill the cup with hot water and empty it before use.
• Once the coffee machine is ON and a capsule is inside the holder, it is advisable not to
wait too long before using the capsule so as not to loose the flavour of the coffee.
• A used capsule should never be left inside the
machine. The damp coffee that remains in the
capsule after use is bound to mould just like any
ground coffee or food stuff. If a used capsule is
inadvertently left in the machine for a few days,
clean the capsule holder in accordance with the
instructions given in this manual and, if necessary,
clean the spike inside the capsule-holder support,
being careful not to cut yourself.
• If the machine remains out of use for more than a
week, dispense a cup of hot water (as described on
Page ) before using it to make coffee.

Filling the water tank

• Remove the cable plug from the power outlet.
• Lift the water tank and remove it by pulling upwards.
Remove the tank lid (Fig. 8) and fill the tank with cold
water. (Fig.9)
• Put the water tank back in place and close the lid.
• Connect the plug to the power outlet.
• Turn ON the machine by pressing the ON/OFF
switch; the buttons with the cup symbols will start
blinking. When the buttons stop blinking and light
steadily, the machine is ready for use.
Note:
Some water may dribble out of the capsule holder
while the water is being heated.
This is perfectly normal and does not jeopardize the
operation of the appliance.
