1.IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following.
• Read all instructions carefully.
• Make sure the voltage of your electrical system corresponds to the voltage shown on the bottom of the
machine.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
• To protect against re, electrical shock and personal injury, do not immerse cord, plug or appliance in
water or other liquid.
• Keeptheappliance out ofthereach ofchildren anddonot leaveapplianceunattended whileinoperation.
• Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning.
• Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged
in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or
adjustment.
• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may result in re, electrical
shock, or personal injury.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Make sure the power cord does not hang over the edge of the table or counter-top to avoid getting acci-
dentally caught or entangled.
• Do not place the appliance or its electrical parts on or near electric stoves, cooking surfaces, or gas burners.
• Plug cord into the wall outlet.To disconnect, rst turn machine“o”, then remove plug from wall outlet.
• Do not use the appliance for other than the intended use. This appliance is to be utilized for domestic
use only. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage caused by improper, incorrect, or
irresponsible use.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of re or electric shock, do not remove the cover or the exterior of
the unit. Don’t attempt to repair or modify the machine, doing so will void the warranty. Repair
should be done by authorized service personnel only!
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
1.1 Short cord instructions
- A short power cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a
longer cord.
- Longer, detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exer-
cised in their use.
- If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating
of the appliance. If the appliance is provided with 3- wire, grounding type cord, the extension should be
a GROUNDING TYPE 3 - WIRE CORD. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
counter-top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
- Your product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider
than the other).This plug will t into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are un-
able to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to t, contact
your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

8.4 Adjusting the coee mill
The coee mill is set by default to prepare coee correctly and
should not require regulating initially.
However, if after making the rst few coees you nd that the
coee is either too weak and not creamy enough or delivery is
too slow (a drop at a time), this can be corrected by adjusting
the grinding adjustment dial (A5-g. 14).
Please note!
The grinding adjustment dial must only be turned when the
coee mill is in operation.
If the coee is delivered too slowly or
not at all, turn one click clockwise to-
wards“7”.
For fuller bodied creamier coee, turn
one click anticlockwise towards “1” (do
not turn more than one click at a time
otherwise the coee could be delivered
a drop at a time).
These adjustments will only be evident after at least 2 cups of
coee have been delivered. If this adjustment does not obtain
the desired result, turn the dial another click.
8.5 Tips for a hotter coee
For hotter coee, you should:
• perform a rinse cycle by selecting the “Rinse” function in
the settings menu (section”7.1 Rinsing”);
• warmthe cups with hot waterusingthe hot waterfunction
(section“10.1 Hot water”);
• set a hotter coee temperature in the settings menu (sec-
tion“7.10 Setting the temperature”).
8.6 Making coee using coee beans
Important!
Do not use caramelised or candied coee beans as they could
stick to the coee mill and make it unusable.
1. Fill the container (A3-g. 15) with coee beans.
2. Place under the coee spouts (A7):
