Notes
To turn the appliance o, press the ‘On/stand by button’ (A1 on
page 8 or Fig. 3). Before turning o the appliance performs an
automatic rinse cycle. Take care to avoid scalds and place a cup
underneath the spout to collect waste water.
If the coee is being delivered a drop at a time or not at all see the
‘Adjusting the coee mill’ section on page 17.
If the coee is being delivered too fast and the crema is not
satisfactory, see the ‘Adjusting the coee mill’ section on page 17.
You can stop the coee from dispensing at any time by pressing
the previously selected touch key, which remains lit during
operation.
When the display shows ‘FILL TANK’ you must extract the water
tank and fill it; the appliance will not work until this is completed.

message is displayed.
Important! Never remove the water tank when the appliance is
dispensing coee. This could cause the machine to malfunction.
Every 14 coees (or 7 doubles) the appliance displays ‘EMPTY
WASTE COFFEE CONTAINER’. This means that the waste
coee container is full and must be emptied and cleaned. The
appliance counts the number of coees made, so until the
waste coee container is emptied and cleaned, the message
remains on the display and the machine will not make any
coee.
Emptying the waste coee container
Important!
Always completely extract the drip tray to avoid it falling when
removing the waste coee container. Empty the container and
clean thoroughly, ensuring all residues deposited on the bottom

Tips for coee making
• 3 minutes after you made your last coee, you can preheat
the brewing unit by using the menu setting “RINSING (see
Rinsing). Run o the water into the underlying drip tray or
alternatively use this water to fill (and then empty) the cup to
be used for the coee.
• Do not use cups that are too thick, as they will absorb too
much heat.
• You can stop the coee from dispensing by pressing the
‘One cup’ of coee deliver’ touch key (10) or ‘Two cups’ of
coee deliver’ touch key (11) again, or by selecting
“ESPRESSO CUP” with the ‘Type/quantity of coee’ touch
key (8).
• After the coee has finished dispensing (the progress bar
reaches 100%), you can increase the amount of coee by
pressing and holding the ‘One cup of coee’ touch key until
the desired amount of coee is reached.
• When the display shows the message “FILL TANK!”. You must
fill the tank, otherwise the appliance cannot make any cof-
fee. It is normal that there is some water left in the water tank
when the message is displayed.
• Every 14 single coees (or 7 doubles) the appliance displays
“EMPTY WASTE COFFEE CONTAINER”. This means that
the waste coee container is full and must be emptied and
cleaned.
• The appliance counts the number of coees made. As long
as the waste coee container is not cleaned, this message
remains in place and the coee machine cannot make any
coee. To clean, open the service door at the front by pulling
the coee spout, remove the drip tray, empty it and clean it.
