Initial Setup
Unpacking
Carefully remove the machine from its packaging. Retain all packaging materials for potential future transport or service.
First Use Preparation
- Water Tank: Remove the water tank, rinse it thoroughly with fresh water, and fill it with fresh, cold tap water up to the "MAX" mark. Reinsert the tank securely into its position.
- Bean Container: Open the lid of the bean container and fill it with whole coffee beans. Ensure the lid is closed properly after filling.
- Power Connection: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.
- Initial Rinse: Upon first power-on or after a period of inactivity, the machine will typically perform an automatic rinse cycle. Follow any on-screen prompts or indicator lights.
Operation
Making Coffee/Espresso
- Turn On: Press the power button. The machine will heat up and perform a short rinse cycle. Wait until the machine indicates it is ready.
- Place Cup: Position one or two cups under the coffee dispenser.
- Select Beverage: Use the control panel to select your desired coffee strength and cup size. Refer to the display for options.
- Start Brewing: Press the "cafe" button to initiate the brewing process.
Using Pre-Ground Coffee
Your Surpresso S60 allows for the use of pre-ground coffee for a single serving, offering flexibility for different coffee types.
- Open the designated cover for pre-ground coffee (usually located near the bean container).
- Add one level scoop of pre-ground coffee. Do not overfill, as this can block the system.
- Close the cover securely.
- Select your desired beverage and press the "cafe" button. The machine will use the pre-ground coffee for this single brew.
Milk Frothing (CappuccinoControl)
The integrated CappuccinoControl frothing aid simplifies the preparation of frothed milk for cappuccinos and lattes.
- Fill a suitable container with cold milk.
- Insert the steam wand into the milk, ensuring the tip is just below the surface.
- Activate the steam function. Refer to the machine's display for specific instructions on how to engage the steam.
- Once the desired volume and consistency of froth are achieved, turn off the steam function.
- Immediately clean the steam wand after each use to prevent milk residue buildup. Wipe with a damp cloth and briefly purge steam to clear the nozzle.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your coffee machine.
Daily Cleaning
- Drip Tray and Coffee Grounds Container: Empty and rinse these components daily to prevent mold growth and odors.
- Brewing Unit: Remove the brewing unit (refer to your machine's specific instructions for removal) and rinse it thoroughly under running water weekly. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.
- Milk Frother: Clean the milk frother thoroughly after each use. Disassemble if necessary and rinse all parts to remove milk residue.
Automatic Cleaning Programs
The machine features automatic cleaning and descaling programs. The display will prompt you when these are required, typically based on usage or water hardness settings.
- Cleaning Program: This program removes coffee oil residues from the brewing unit and coffee spouts. Use Siemens cleaning tablets as instructed by the machine's display.
- Descaling Program: This program removes limescale deposits from the internal water circuits. Use Siemens descaling tablets and follow the on-screen instructions precisely.
Note: Regular cleaning and descaling are crucial for maintaining machine performance, ensuring coffee quality, and preventing damage from mineral buildup.
Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your Siemens Surpresso S60.
