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 pro-
vided below:

The machine is now reprogrammed with the new quantities.
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 (in drops), this can be corrected by adjusting the
grinding adjustment dial (g. 8).
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.
For fuller bodied creamier coee,
turn one click anticlockwise (do not
turn more than one click at a time
otherwise the coee could be delive-
red in drops).
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:
• before delivering the coee, perform a rinse cycle by
pressing the button. Hot water is delivered from the
spout, heating the internal circuits of the appliance and
thus raising the coee temperature.
• warmthecupsbyrinsingthemwithhotwater(usingthe
hot water function);
• increase the coee temperature in the settings menu
(page 10).
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 damage it.
1. Fill the container with coee beans (g. 9).
2. Place under the coee spouts:
- 1 cup, if you want 1 coee (g. 10);
- 2 cups, if you want 2 coees (g. 11).
3. Lower the spouts as near as possible to the cup.This makes
a creamier coee (g. 12).
4. Press the button corresponding to the required coee.
