Important information Important information Proper use The machine is designed and intended for private domestic use. It should only be used for coffee preparation and to heat milk and water. Use for any other purpose will be deemed improper. JURA Elektroapparate AG cannot accept any responsibility for the consequences of improper use. Before using the machine read these instructions for use thoroughly and completely and comply with the instructions they contain.
Important information U U Never open and repair the machine yourself. Do not modify the machine in any way that is not described in these instructions for use. The machine contains live parts. If opened, there is a danger of potentially fatal injury. Repairs may only be carried out by authorised JURA service centres, using original spare parts and accessories. To completely and safely disconnect the machine from the power supply, first switch off the Z8 using the On/Off button.
Important information U U U U U U U U U U U U 8 On models with glass cup grille: Do not subject the glass cup grille to shock or impact. Before cleaning, switch the Z8 off with the On/ Off button. Always wipe the Z8 with a damp cloth rather than a wet one, and protect it from prolonged exposure to water splash. Only connect the machine to the mains voltage in accordance with the information on the rating plate. The rating plate is located on the underside of your Z8.
Important information U Children aged 8 and over may only operate the machine without supervision if they have been instructed in how to use it safely. Children must be able to recognise and understand the potential dangers arising from incorrect use.
1 Preparing and using for the first time 1 Preparing and using for the first time JURA on the Internet Visit us on the Internet. You can download short operating instructions for your machine from the JURA website (www.jura.com). You will also find interesting and up-to-date information on your Z8 and on every aspect of coffee. If you need assistance with using your machine, you can find this at www.jura.com/service.
1 Preparing and using for the first time Setting up the machine When setting up your Z8, please note the following: Place the Z8 on a horizontal surface that is not sensitive to water. Choose a spot for your Z8 which protects the machine against overheating. Ensure that the ventilation slots are not covered. U U Filling the bean container The bean container has an aroma preservation cover. This will ensure that your coffee beans retain their aroma for longer.
1 Preparing and using for the first time First-time use When using the machine for the first time, you can choose whether you want to operate Z8 with or without the CLARIS Smart filter cartridge. As well as limescale, the filter cartridge filters many other substances that impair aroma and flavour out of the water. These substances may negatively affect the coffee. To enjoy the best quality coffee at all times, we recommend that you use CLARIS Smart.
1 Preparing and using for the first time First-time use with filter cartridge activation CAUTION Milk, sparkling mineral water or other liquids can damage the water tank or the machine. T Only fill the water tank with fresh, cold water. T Place a receptacle under the dual spout and the hot-water spout. T Remove the water tank and rinse it with cold water. T Fit the filter cartridge extension supplied on top of a CLARIS Smart filter cartridge .

5 Maintenance Automatic milk system rinsing 15 minutes after milk preparation, the milk system is automatically rinsed. Therefore always place a receptacle under the dual spout after preparing milk. Cleaning the milk system To ensure that the milk system in the dual spout always works properly, you must clean it daily when you have been preparing milk. CAUTION If the wrong cleaning agent is used, the machine could be damaged and/or traces could be left behind in the water.
5 Maintenance Dismantling and rinsing the dual spout The dual spout must be dismantled and rinsed daily if milk has been prepared to make sure it functions perfectly and also in the interests of hygiene. T Remove the milk pipe and rinse it thoroughly under running water. T Press the releasing devices and pull the cover of the dual spout up and off. T Remove the milk system from the dual spout. T Dismantle the milk system into its individual parts. T Rinse all the parts under running water.
5 Maintenance T Fit the assembled individual parts back in the dual spout and press it firmly. T Fit the cover of the dual spout. Make sure the cover of the dual spout is correctly fitted. T Connect the milk pipe to the dual spout. Inserting the filter Your Z8 no longer has to be descaled if you are using the CLARIS Smart filter cartridge. If you did not insert the filter cartridge the first time you used the machine, you can do this now as follows. Precondition: The start screen is displayed.
5 Maintenance ‘Filter operation’ / ‘Saved’ ‘Filter is being rinsed’, the filter is rinsed. The water flows directly into the drip tray. ‘Empty drip tray’ T Empty the drip tray and put it back into the machine. ‘Filter operation’ / ‘Filter rinsing complete’ The start screen is displayed. Your Z8 is once more ready for use. Changing the filter E Once the filter cartridge stops working (depending on the water hardness setting), the Z8 will prompt you to change the filter.
5 Cleaning the machine CAUTION Maintenance After 180 preparations or 80 switch-on rinses, the Z8 will prompt you to clean it. If the wrong cleaning agent is used, the machine could be damaged and/or traces could be left behind in the water. T Use only original JURA maintenance products. E The cleaning programme lasts approximately 20 minutes. E Do not interrupt the cleaning programme. The quality of cleaning will be impaired if you do so. E JURA cleaning tablets are available from specialised dealers.
5 Maintenance T Empty the drip tray and coffee grounds container and put them back into the machine. Cleaning is now complete. The start screen is displayed. Descaling the machine The Z8 builds up deposits of limescale over time and automatically prompts you to descale it when necessary. The degree of calcification depends on the hardness of your water. E If you are using a CLARIS Smart filter cartridge, you will not be prompted to descale.
5 Maintenance T Empty the drip tray and coffee grounds container and put them back into the machine. ‘Pour descaling agent into water tank’ T Remove and empty the water tank. T Completely dissolve 3 JURA descaling tablets in a receptacle holding 600 ml of water. This may take several minutes. T Pour the solution into the empty water tank and insert it into the machine. ‘Press the Rotary Switch’ T Place a receptacle under the hot-water spout and dual spout. T Press the Rotary Switch.
5 Maintenance Descaling the water tank Limescale deposits may form in the water tank. To ensure correct function of the machine, descale the water tank from time to time. T Remove the water tank.
