Longer detachable power-supply or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. C. If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used, 1) The marked electrical rating of the detachable powersupply cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, 2) If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a rounding type 3-wire cord, and 3) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter-top or table-top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over. NOTICE: Your Impressa F9 has a 3-prong grounded plug. To reduce the risk of electrical shock this plug will fit in an outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit in the outlet contact a qualified electrician. DO NOT modify the plug in any way. JURA-CAPRESSO Jura was founded in 1931 in Switzerland.

WELCOME TO THE IMPRESSA F9 This fully automatic coffee center is completely programmable and extremely user friendly. The Impressa F9 is made of the finest materials and features a unique sensor touch panel. The chrome plated metal front with its heavy duty die-cast coffee spout, the stainless steel grid and the elegant cup illumination make it the center piece of any contemporary kitchen. The Impressa F9 can prepare one or two cups of crema coffee at a time. The two-step pressure brewing system ­ well known in commercial applications ­ was adapted and refined by Jura coffee specialists and is the trademark of each Jura-Capresso coffee center. This Pre-Brew Aroma-System (chapter 10) ensures optimal coffee extraction and will finish every cup with a rich layer of "crema" ­ proof for perfectly pressure brewed coffee. By touching one of three cup symbols and one of three bean symbols you choose the cup size and the coffee strength you want. Touch the ST@RT button and the F9 will grind and brew your personal cup of coffee. The integrated solid steel conical burr grinder grinds beans to the preferred fineness. A separate funnel lets you use pre-ground coffee. All coffee, water and steam functions are programmable to your own personal taste. Make any size cup of coffee between 1 and 16 oz. The Dual Frother Plus* lets you froth and steam milk for delicious cappuccinos and lattes. The frother can be programmed to produce steam up to 60 seconds. Need more steam? Just push the steam button again for another 60 seconds of steam. The stainless steel lined ThermoBlock prevents water from coming in contact with aluminum and allows you to brew coffee immediately after frothing (no purging). The hot water function lets you prepare tea and other beverages in seconds. All important functions such as water level, bean container, used coffee container and water filter are monitored automatically. You can even program the machine to turn itself on and off. You can change the language and can check how many cups of coffee you made. Please watch the enclosed video and study this instruction manual before you use the machine on a daily basis. You will get so much more out of your IMPRESSA F9. Enjoy! * If you prepare many cappuccinos or lattes at a time we recommend the fast and precise frothXpress PLUS system (separately available). This system replaces the Dual Frother Plus and lets you fill cup after cup with the desired amount of hot milk and milk froth automatically. For details visit our website www.capresso.com and watch the videos about the frothXpress Plus system (Super Automatics, Impressa S9). 9. 3a. A WORD ABOUT "CREMA COFFEE" According to the majority of coffee experts, grinding, tamping and brewing under high pressure is the ideal extracting process for maximum flavor and aroma. Your Jura-Capresso automatic coffee center will always produce espresso and coffee with a thick, foamy layer called "crema." The crema traps the fine aromatics and the lig ...
