The noises occuring are perfectly normal. • During the heating up procedure the temperature indicator flashes. LCD: Indicates briefly <> When the operating temperature is reached, the temperature indicator will stop flashing and remain a constant light. See figure 9. • After the operating temperature has been reached, the espresso machine performs an automatic rinsing cycle. This removes any old coffee grinds from the coffee brewing unit. LCD: Indicates briefly <> • The water flows into the drip tray. The temperature indicator light is constant. The espresso machine is now ready for operation. LCD: The indication on the display will depend on the last selected coffee setting. Switching off the machine • Switch the machine off by pressing the 'POWER' button on the control panel. • The machine performs a rinsing cycle. LCD: Indicates briefly <> • At the end of the rinse cycle the display intermittenly flashes <> and <>. The machine switches off automatically after 60 seconds. Using the Sunbeam Intuitive Digital (continued) Figure 9 Setting the water hardness Prior to first use the Sunbeam Intuitive Digital should be adjusted to the relevant degree of water hardness for your region. Water hardness refers to the mineral content of your local water supply. You may determine the hardness degree using the supplied test strips. Determining water hardness • Dip the test strip into cold water for 1 second. Shake off the excess water and the degree of water hardness is determined according to the number of pink-coloured squares. Hardness degree 1 2 3 4 soft medium hard very hard Test strips Setting and saving the water hardness level You can set 4 hardness levels. The Sunbeam Intuitive Digital is factory set to hardness level 3. • With the machine switched on, press the "MENU" button. LCD: Indicates <>. • Press the scrolling keys Ў or Ў until the LCD indicates <>. See figure 10. • Confirm your selection by pressing the "OK" button. See fugure 11. LCD: Indicates current setting eg. <> • Then press the scrolling keys Ў or Ў until the desired hardness level is displayed. See figure 10. • Confirm the selection with the "OK" button. See figure 11. Note: After programming the LCD returns automatically to the menu point <> • To return to normal operating mode, press the "MENU" button. Note: If you have not made a selection within 30 seconds the machine automatically returns to the normal operating mode. Figure 10 Figure 11 Making an espresso with beans The following process for making coffee with beans runs completely automatically: Grinding, dosing, tamping, pre-infusion, brewing, ejection of coffee grounds. The facility to select the grinding degree and the coffee quantity allows you to individually set up the espresso machine to your own personal taste. Filling the coffee bean hopper Note: Please ensure to fill the coffee bean hopper only with coffee beans. • Turn the hopper so that the arrow on the base of the hopper is aligned with the whole beans arrow and the brewing mechanism sets to the required function. See figure 12. • Set the grinding degree. See figure 13. Note: You may set the grinding degree of the grinding mechanism by using the ‘coffee grind’ lever. There are two ways in which the grinding degree can be set. The first method can only be used when filling the hopper with beans for the first time and you simply use the ‘coffee grind’ lever. Please note that at this stage the grinding mechanism is empty and at a standstill. At any other time however, once the grinding mechanism has been filled with beans you may only set the grinding position during the grinding procedure; otherwise the grinding mechanism may be damaged. Note: A medium grinding degree is factory set on the Sunbeam Intuitive Digital. • Open the lid of the hopper and fill with fresh coffee beans. Then close the lid. See figure 14. Note: Make sure that no foreign matter, e.g. stones or wood chips, get into the coffee bean hopper as this can cause damage to the grinding mechanism. Figure 12 Figure 13 Figure 14 Select espresso pour volume/size Depending on your taste, select a short, standard or a long espresso pour. • For this press the 'espresso pour volume' button until the desired cup symbol is selected or the desired cup size is indicated on the displ...
