2.2. The most important controls
Your NIVONA appliance offers a speciality of options to brew coffee according to your individual
needs. The main controls and how to use them are identical for most of the coffee specialities.
• Left Rotary-Push-Turn-Switch (short: left rotary control) (g. 1/B): The left rotary control alters
strength and volume of your coffee. By turning the left rotary control in the main menu the vol-
ume is adjusted (in ml). By pressing the left rotary control in the main menu the coffee strength
is altered (bean symbol, g. 1/D). The more beans displayed, the stronger the coffee. By pushing
the left rotary control in any sub menu you leave that menu and move back one menu level.
• Right Rotary-Push-Turn-Switch (short: right rotary control) (g. 1/C): By turning the right rotary
control you select a drink or menu point in the display. By pushing the right rotary control, the
drink shown in the display will be brewed, or you access the selected menu item.
• Height-adjustable spout(g. 1/E): The spout can be adjusted to the height of your cups and glasses
by pushing it up or down. Hold the spout with thumb and index nger and move it up or down.
• Milk container (model 788 only): Fill the milk container with fresh, low-fat and cold milk. Close
the lid and connect one end of the connecting tube to the container and the other to the spout.
2.3. Filling with water and beans
Open the cover on the left (g. 1/F) and remove the water tank (g. 2). Clean it with clear, cold
tap water.
Rell the water tank to above the minimum mark (0.5 l) and insert it back into the appliance.
Make sure the tank is safely locked in place.
Close the cover on the left (g. 1/F).
Attention: Only use clear, cold water for the water tank! Never use sparkling water or any other liquids!
Non-compliance will render warranty claims void.

Fill with untreated, roasted coffee beans only.
Close the cover again and make sure it ts correctly.
