Z5 enough time to completely charge its internal back-up battery.
When fully charged, the internal battery will back up the clock for
up to eight weeks.
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.
• Open the Cover Lid (Fig. 1,1)
• While the grinder is running, turn the Grind Selector to
the desired position (Fig. 4).
Coarser: Turn the dial towards the bean symbol.
Finer: Turn the dial away from the bean symbol.
Important: The grinding grade can only be adjusted while
the grinder is actually grinding.
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. 3a). In this case
the On/Off button on top is illuminated.
• Push the On/Off button on top of the machine. The display
shows
MACHINE IS HEATING. After approx. 2 minutes the
display shows RINSE.
• Push the Rinse Button (Fig. 3). Hot water will warm up all
internal parts and pump through the coffee spouts. The water
will be caught in the drawer underneath. The rinse cycle stops
by itself and the display reads:
COFFEE READY. You are now
ready to make coffee.
9. ONE-TOUCH BEVERAGE BUTTONS (Fig. 3)
The Z5 has eight beverage buttons. The first three buttons on
the left side produce beverages coming out of the Auto-
Cappuccino-System on the left side of the machine.
The forth button on the left side produces hot water through the
hot water spout (Fig.1,6).
The four buttons on the right side produce different kinds of
coffee beverages through the Dual Coffee Spout in the middle.
All beverage buttons are pre-set to certain volumes and
strengths (chapter 5).
10. BREWING COFFEE AND ESPRESSO
(1 Espresso, 2 Espressos, 1 Coffee, 2 Coffees)
The four buttons on the right side of the Operating Panel (Fig. 3)
deliver coffee through the Dual Coffee Spouts (Fig. 1,5).
• Place one or two cups underneath Dual Coffee Spouts and
push the desired button.
The Impressa Z5 will grind, tamp and then brew the coffee. It
uses a 2-step brewing process (Pre-Brew Aroma System).
First, it moistens the ground coffee (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 then the strength which was programmed
for this button, e.g. STRONG. The brewing process stops
automatically as soon as the programmed volume of coffee is
produced. When the display shows COFFEE READY you can
brew the next cup of coffee.
Very Important: After the brewing stops the Z5 will discard the
used coffee. Please do not try to pull out the drawer (Fig. 2)
during this time. It can seriously damage the machine.
