Tips on energy saving
► After approx� 30 minutes (factory
setting), the appliance will switch off
automatically and will not require any
more energy�
► The default time can be shortened
(see “Auto off after” under “Displaying
settings”)�
► If the appliance is not in use, switch it
off with the on off button�
► If possible, do not interrupt coffee
or milk froth dispensing� Stopping a
process prematurely results in higher
energy consumption and the drip tray
fills up more quickly.
► Always descale the appliance when
Service - descale is displayed (see
“Descaling”) to avoid a build-up of
limescale� Limescale residue results in
higher energy consumption�
