    Integrated cleaning programme

    It is possible to start the cleaning programme of your IMPRESSA J5 in two ways:

    • Cleaning following a prompt:

    Precondition: CLEAN / READY is displayed. Press the maintenance button briefly. EMPTY TRAY appears on the display. Now follow the instructions on the display.

    • Cleaning without a prompt:

    Precondition: READY appears on the display. Keep the Rotary Switch pressed until MAINTENANCE appears. Press the Rotary Switch to enter the programme item. Turn the Rotary Switch until CLEAN is displayed. Press the Rotary Switch immediately. EMPTY TRAY appears. Now follow the instructions on the display.

    • Note: Your IMPRESSA J5 will display READY again if no other programme item is selected in the maintenance menu within about 5 seconds.

    Integrated descaling programme

    Note: Do not switch your IMPRESSA J5 off to start the descaling programme. The descaling programme can only be performed when the machine is switched on.

    It is possible to start the descaling programme of your IMPRESSA J5 in two ways:

    • Descaling following a prompt:

    Precondition: DE-SCALE / READY is displayed. Press the maintenance button briefly, EMPTY TRAY is displayed. Now follow the instructions on the display.

    • Descaling without a prompt:

    Precondition: READY appears on the display. Keep the Rotary Switch pressed until MAINTENANCE is displayed. Press the Rotary Switch again briefly until RINSE lights up. Turn the Rotary Switch until DE-SCALE is displayed. Pressing the Rotary Switch starts the programme. EMPTY TRAY is displayed. Now follow the instructions on the display.

    • Note: Your IMPRESSA J5 will display READY again if no other programme item is selected in the maintenance menu within about 5 seconds.

    Note: If DE-SCALING remains lit for a long time, this means the descaling programme was started with too much liquid or water was topped up before the tank had emptied.

    • Hint: Restart the descaling programme with 0.5 l water. All the water in the water tank is sucked out during the programme. Please do not replenish water until the display prompts you to do so.

    If DE-SCALE lights up even though the CLARIS filter cartridge is inserted, this means the machine was not changed over to using a filter.

    • Hint: Remove the filter and run the descaling programme. Then insert a new filter and change the machine over to using a filter.

    CLARIS filter change

    It is possible to start the filter change programme of your IMPRESSA J5 in two ways:

    • Change the filter following a prompt:
    Precondition: FILTER / READY is displayed. Press the illuminated maintenance button briefly. CHANGE appears on the display.
    Insert a new filter and turn the selection lever of the Professional Cappuccino Frother to steam (see symbol).
    Now press the maintenance button. FILTER RINSING appears on the display and your IMPRESSA J5 starts to rinse the filter.
    Rinsing of the filter stops automatically after approx. 500 ml.
    • Change the filter without a prompt:

    Precondition: READY appears on the display. Keep the Rotary Switch pressed until MAINTENANCE appears. Press the Rotary Switch to enter the programme item. Turn the Rotary Switch until FILTER is displayed. Press the Rotary Switch to start the filter change programme. CHANGE appears on the display. Now follow the instructions on the display.

    • Note: The water may be slightly discoloured during rinsing of the filter. This is not harmful to health.
    • Hint: The CLARIS filter cartridge should be replaced every two months if you do not prepare many beverages, even if no message appears on the display. You can monitor the elapsed time as shown on the date plate on the cartridge holder.

    Coffee taste and coffee temperature

    Coffee taste:
    Are you dissatisfied with the coffee taste? A poor coffee taste may be due to the following possible causes:

    • The powder quantity is not set according to your taste. Please note that the amount of powder can be selected individually for each beverage you prepare.
    • The descaling programme was performed with the CLARIS filter cartridge inserted. In this case, remove the filter, insert a new one and change the machine over to using the filter.
    • Your coffee beans are “sour”. Empty the bean container and fill it with fresh beans.

    Coffee temperature:
    Is your coffee not hot enough? A coffee temperature that is too low may be due to the following possible causes:

    • The coffee temperature has not been set to HIGH. Please note that the temperature can be set individually for each coffee product (to "NORMAL" or "HIGH").
    • If you are not using a CLARIS filter cartridge, the machine might have built up limescale deposits. Check the water hardness, set the machine to the correct water hardness and perform descaling.
    • Hint: Pre-heat your cup!

    Milk foam

    If the milk is not foamed, this means the Professional Cappuccino Frother / Professional fine foam frother is blocked. Remove the frother and clean it thoroughly.

    • Please note that the frother always has to be cleaned well after preparation of milk or milk foam.
    • Hint: Use the special JURA Auto Cappuccino Cleaner for cleaning.
    • Note: The fat content of milk does not influence frothing. It is also possible to use low-fat milk.
    • Hint: If you are not using a CLARIS filter cartridge, the descaling programme can be run because calcium deposits in the pipes can impair steam preparation.

    Display and text messages

    DE-SCALE is displayed despite the CLARIS filter cartridge being used.

    Remedy: Remove the filter from the water tank and run the descaling programme. Then insert a new filter and change the machine over to using the filter.

    DE-SCALING is displayed for a long time.

    Reason: The descaling programme was started with too much liquid or fresh water was topped up too soon. All the water in the water tank must be sucked out during the descaling programme.

    READY is displayed but the coffee does not taste good.

    Reason: The descaling programme has been run with a CLARIS plus filter cartridge inserted without the machine being changed over to using the filter.

    Caramelised coffee beans

    To ensure that your machine provides satisfaction for a long time and to avoid repairs, please note that the grinder on your JURA coffee machine is not suitable for coffee beans that have been treated with additives (e. g. sugar) during or after roasting.

    Use of such coffee mixtures can result in damage to the grinder. Any repair costs incurred as a result are not covered by the warranty provisions.
