Coee selected Quantity in cup (ml)
MY COFFEE Programmable:
from ≃20 to ≃180
SHORT ≃40
STANDARD ≃60
LONG ≃90
EXTRA LONG ≃120
Customising the “my coee” quantity
The appliance is set by default to automatically deliver 30 ml
of“my coee”.
To modify this quantity, proceed as follows:
1. Place a cup under the coee spouts (g. 12).
2. Press the button (g. 10) until“MY COFFEE”
is displayed.
3. Press and hold the button (g. 15) until the mes-
sage “Program quantity 1 MY COFFEE” is displayed and
coee delivery begins. Release the button
4. As soon as the coee in the cup reaches the required level,
press the button (g. 15) again.
The quantity of coee in the cup set has now been pro-
grammed.
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 (g. 13).
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.
Tips for a hotter coee
For hotter coee, you should:
• performarinsecyclebyselectingthe“Rinsing”functionin

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 with coee beans (g. 14).
2. Place under the coee spouts:
- 1 cup, if you want 1 coee (g. 15);
- 2 cups if you want 2 coees (g. 17).
3. Lower the spout as near as possible to the cups (g. 16).
This makes a creamier coee .
4. Press the button corresponding to the number of coees
required (1 cup or 2 cups ).
5. Preparation begins. The amount of coee selected is dis-
played together with a progress bar which gradually lls
as preparation progresses.

Electrical connection (UK only)
A) If your appliance comes tted with a plug, it will incorporate a 13 Amp fuse.
If it does not t your socket, the plug should be cut o from the mains lead,
and an appropriate plug tted, as below. WARNING: Very carefully dispose
of the cut o plug after removing the fuse: do not insert in a 13 Amp socket
elsewhere in the house as this could cause a shock hazard. With alternative
plugs not incorporating a fuse, the circuit must be protected by a 15 Amp
fuse. If the plug is a moulded-on type, the fuse cover must be re-tted
when changing the fuse using a 13 Amp Asta approved fuse to BS 1362.
In the event of losing the fuse cover, the plug must NOT be used until a
replacement fuse cover can be obtained from your nearest electrical dealer.
The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that as marked on the
base of the plug.
B) If your appliance is not tted with a plug, please follow the instructions
provided below:
