OPERATION
EN 13
Before first use
Remove the packaging. Make sure the product is complete and undamaged. Check if all
accessories are present. Do not use the appliance if it is visibly damaged. Contact the service
department if there are any problems.
Coffee has been used to test the appliance in the factory. Therefore it is completely
normal that there are traces of coffee in the mill.
Customise the water hardness as soon as possible. Obey the instructions in chapter ‘Set
the water hardness’.
To improve the performance of your appliance, we recommend installing a water softener
filter. If your model is not provided with a filter, you can purchase one from the service
department.
Always use clean and cold tap water, bottled water without added minerals or distilled
water suitable for consumption.
The first time you use the appliance, the water circuit is empty. The appliance could be
very noisy. The noise becomes less when the circuit fills with water.
The first time you use the appliance, you need to make 4-5 cups of coffee before it starts
to give results that are satisfactory.
When making the first 5-6 beverages, it is normal to hear the noise of boiling water. This
noise becomes less during use.
Pull the appliance forward to get access to the main switch, the area for accessories and
the lid of the bean container. Pull the coffee spouts forward to open the service door.

OPERATION
EN 14
The appliance goes to standby automatically. It is now ready for normal use.
Danger of burns
During rinsing, a little hot water flows out of the coffee spouts. Avoid contact with splashes
of water. Do not let the appliance stay unattended while hot water is being supplied.
Set your appliance to ‘On’
The appliance is ready to use if it has reached the correct temperature.
The primary screen is shown.
Attention
Each time the appliance is set to ‘On’, it performs an automatic preheat and rinse cycle.
This cycle cannot be interrupted. The appliance is ready for use only after completion of this
cycle.

OPERATION
EN 15
Tip
Put a cup under the spouts. Collect the hot water from the rinse cycle to warm the cup.
Important!
Do not push the main switch while the appliance is set to ‘On’.
Set your appliance to ‘Standby’ and ‘Off’
Please note
If you do not use the appliance for a long period, set the appliance to ‘Off’.
Important tips and tricks when you make coffee
• The supply of coffee can be stopped at any moment.
• As soon as the supply has ended, you can increase the quantity of coffee.
• You can customise beverages.
• Adjust the grind level if the coffee is supplied a drop at a time or too weak and not creamy
enough.
• Make a hotter coffee:
▷Perform a rinse cycle and warm the cups with the hot water from the rinse cycle.
▷Supply hot water to warm the cups.
▷Use the cup warmer setting to warm the cups.
▷Increase the coffee temperature.
• Lower the spouts to the cup as near as possible. This makes the coffee more creamy.
• After the coffee supply, the aroma setting and the quantity setting are reset to the ‘original
recipe’.

OPERATION
EN 16
• Once a beverage has been made, the appliance is ready to make the next beverage.
Make coffee using coffee beans
Important!
Do not use green, caramelised or candied coffee beans. They could make the coffee mill
unusable.
Espresso 2x Espresso
Make coffee using pre-ground coffee
Important!
• Only add pre-ground coffee when the appliance is set to ‘On’. Otherwise, the coffee
could spread through the inside of the appliance and damage it.
• Only make one cup of coffee at a time. Do not use more than 1 measuring spoon.
• Make sure the funnel is not blocked (see chapter ‘Maintenance’).

Adjust the grind level
The coffee mill is set by default to prepare coffee correctly. It should not require regulating initially.
However, you can adjust the grind level:
• if the coffee is supplied too slowly or not at all.
▷Turn the knob one click clockwise in the direction of 7.
• for a stronger, creamier coffee.
▷Turn the knob one click anti-clockwise in the direction of 1.
• Only turn the knob when the coffee mill is operating (during the start
of the coffee preparation). Turn the knob one click at a time. When you have made at least 2
cups of coffee, turn the knob another click if the adjustment did not give the desired result.
Make milk-based hot drinks
• Use skimmed or partially skimmed milk at refrigerator temperature (about 5 °C) to get a
richer denser froth.
