6.4 Preparing the machine
6.4.1 Grinding and dosing coffee
It is important to have a grinder-dispenser next to the ma-
chine so that the coffee can be ground on a daily basis.
The coffee must be ground and dispensed according to in-
structions provided by the manufacturer of the grinder-dis-
penser. The following points should also be kept in mind:
• To obtain a good espresso it is not recommended that you
store large amounts of coffee beans. Comply with the ex-
piry date indicated by the producer.
• Never grind large volumes of coffee, it is advisable to pre-
pare the amount that can be held in the dosing device
and if possible, use it by the end of the day.
• Do not buy pre-ground coffee, as it perishes quickly. If nec-
essary, buy coffee in small vacuum-sealed packs.
6.4.2 Turning on the work surface light
(if present)
Somemachinesmaybettedwithworksurfacelighting.To
activatetheworksurfacelighting,enablethespeciccom-
mand.
