Important: If you pull out the drawer in between, you must
empty the used coffee container. The Z5 assumes that the used
coffee container will be emptied. If you do not empty the con-
tainer, used coffee will overflow inside the machine and can
cause serious damage to the coffee release mechanism. If the
display shows COFFEE BIN MISSING, the tray is not attached
to the drawer (Fig. 2,9).
Please note: The Z5 does not sense whether or not the used
coffee container is inserted (Fig. 2,8). If you forget to insert the
used coffee container, ground coffee will be discharged onto the
tray inside the machine.
28. TABLET CLEANING PROCESS
When brewing coffee inside the Z5, coffee oils start to accumulate
in the brewing chamber and around the internal sieves. The Z5
automatically reminds you after approx. 200 cups of coffee to
run a tablet cleaning cycle. This 15 minute procedure is highly
effective and will insure proper performance. The display will
show COFFEE READY CLEAN and the rinse button illuminates.
Please note: You can continue making coffee, however we highly
recommend that you clean the machine as described below
within the next few days. Please use one white cleaning tablet
(enclosed). The machine comes with a pack of 2 tablets.
To re-order cleaning tablets see chapter 34.
Important: Once the cleaning program has started do not
interrupt the procedure.
COFFEE READY CLEAN
•Push and hold the rinse button until the display shows TRAY
GROUNDS EMPTY.
a. Remove and empty the drawer and used coffee container,
TRAY MISSING and replace complete assembly (Fig. 2) .
Important: Even if the drawer and the used coffee container are
empty, you still need to remove the drawer for approx. 20 seconds
and then replace it. The display shows PRESS BUTTON.
b. Place a 12 oz. container under the coffee spouts and an 8 oz.
container under the nozzles of the auto-cappuccino system.
c. Push the Rinse Button. The display shows MACHINE IS
CLEANING. You will hear a beep and after a moment the
display shows ADD TABLET.
d. Open the Cover Lid then the Ground Coffee Lid and drop in
one white cleaning tablet, then close lid (Fig. 13).
e.PRESS BUTTON. Push the Rinse Button. The display shows
MACHINE IS CLEANING. The cleaning program will dispense
hot foamy water in intervals through the spouts. After a
few minutes the machine beeps and the display shows TRAY
GROUNDS EMPTY.
f. Lift and remove the drawer. Empty the used coffee container
and drawer and replace. The display shows COFFEE READY.
Please note: After this cleaning process, remove the powder
funnel insert and clean under running water and replace.
Tip: You can run a tablet cleaning cycle at anytime even if the
machine does not prompt you. It is possible that very oily coffee
beans deposit more oils slowing down the brewing process. An
extra tablet cleaning cycle will remove the oil build up.
