Notes:
When using the appliance for the first time, you need to make 4-5
cups of coee and 4-5 cappuccinos before the appliance gives
satisfactory results.
Important: Never introduce pre-ground coee, freeze dried coee,
caramelised beans or anything else which could damage the

Turning On and Heating Up
Each time the appliance is turned on, it performs an automatic preheat
and rinse cycle which cannot be interrupted. The appliance is ready
for use only after completion of this cycle.

Making Coee Using Whole Coee
Beans
The appliance is preset to make coee with “normal” strength. You
can also choose coee with an “extra-mild”, “mild”, “strong” or “extra-
strong”avour.Thereisalsoapre-groundcoeeoption.
  TochoosetherequiredStrength,pressthecoee
strength button (B4) (fig. 7) several times to scroll
through the options.
The current coee strength setting is displayed.
Place 1 cup under the spouts to make 1 coee (fig. 8), or 2 cups for 2
coees (fig. 9).
Lower the spouts as near as possible to the cup(s) for a creamier
coee (fig. 10).

16
The appliance is preset to make coees of varying sizes. You can
choose between “espresso”, “small cup”, “medium cup”, “large cup” or
“mug”.
Press the cup size button (B5) (fig. 11) several times
to scroll through the options.
The current cup size setting is displayed.
Press the single cup button (B10) (fig.12) if you want
to make a single coee or the double cup button
(B11) (fig.13) if you want to make 2 coees.
The appliance now grinds the beans and starts
delivering the coee into the cup.
Once the set amount of coee has been delivered,
the machine stops delivery automatically and
expels the exhausted waste coee into the waste
coee container.
After a few seconds, the appliance is ready for use
again.

Toturntheapplianceo,presstheON/Stand-Bybutton(A7)(g.1).
Before switching o, the appliance performs an automatic rinse cycle
(Take care to avoid scalds).
Note 1: If the coee is delivered a drop at a time or not at all, see the
“AdjustingtheCoeeMill”section.
Note 2: If the coee is delivered too fast and the cream is not
satisfactory,seethe“AdjustingtheCoeeMill”section.
Note 3: Tips for a hotter coee:
Proceedasdescribedinthesection“ChangingAndSettingMenu
Parameters”,“Rinse”function.
Unless preheated, do not use excessively thick cups as they will
absorb too much heat.
Preheat the cups by rinsing them with hot water.
Note 4: Coee delivery can be interrupted at any moment by re-
pressing the previously selected button, which remains lit during the
operation.
Note 5:Whentheappliancedisplays“FILLTANK”,llthetankwith
water or the appliance will not deliver coee (It is normal for there to
be a little water left in the tank).
Note 6: After about 14 single (or 7 double) coees, the appliance
displays“EMPTYWASTECOFFEECONTAINER”.

18
Evenifnotfull,the“EMPTYWASTECOFFEECONTAINER”messageis

72 hours to be calculated correctly, the machine must never be turned
o with the main switch in the “0” position.
To clean, open the service door on the front of the
appliance by pulling the spout (fig. 14).
Extract the drip tray (fig. 15) and clean it.
When cleaning, always extract the drip tray
completely.
Important: When extracting the drip tray, the
wastecoeecontainerMUSTalwaysbeemptied,
even if it is not completely full. If this is not done,
when you make the next coees the container may
over-fill and the machine may be clogged.
Note 7: Never extract the water tank while the
machine is delivering coee. If it is removed, it will
not be possible to make the coee and the
appliancewilldisplay“GROUNDTOOFINEADJUSTMILLAND
PRESSOK”andthen“FILLTANK”.
It is then necessary to check the level of water in the tank and replace
it in the appliance.
To turn the machine back on again, press the “ok” button (B9),

“HOTWATERPRESSOK”isdisplayed.Pressthe“ok”button(B9)
within a few seconds and deliver water from the cappuccino maker
for about 30 seconds.
When delivery stops, the machine should be ready for use again.
Note: The coee maker may request the operation to be repeated a
number of times until the air is completely eliminated from the water
pipes.
Note: If this operation is not performed correctly or if the machine is
turned o, the basic modes may be displayed, although the problem
is in fact still present.
Changing the Quantity of Coee in the Cup
The coee machine is preset by default to automatically make the
following types of coee:
