Beep and displays the message “READY”.
MAKING COFFEE
Selecting the coffee taste
The appliance is preset to make coffee with a
standard taste.
You can choose between 5 different coffee
tastes:
UÊ ÝÌÀ>`ÊÌ>ÃÌi
UÊ `ÊÌ>ÃÌi
UÊ -Ì>`>À`ÊÌ>ÃÌi
UÊ -ÌÀ}ÊÌ>ÃÌi
UÊ ÝÌÀ>ÃÌÀ}ÊÌ>ÃÌi
To change the taste, press the button
(fig. 2) repeatedly until the required taste is
displayed.
Selecting the quantity of coffee in the cup
The appliance is set by default to automatically
make the following quantities of coffee:
- short coffee when the button is pressed;
- long coffee when the button is pressed;
- two short coffees when the button is
pressed;
- two long coffees when the button is
pressed.
To change the quantity of coffee the appliance
delivers automatically into the cup, proceed as
described below.
- press the button corresponding to the
quantity you want to change for at least
8 seconds until the message “PROGRAM
QUANTITY” is displayed and coffee delivery
commences;
- when the coffee in the cup reaches the
required level, press the same button again
to memorise the new amount. This is
confirmed by two beeps.
The appliance is now reprogrammed with the new
settings and the message “READY” is displayed.
Please note:
all four coffee buttons can be customised.
Adjusting the coffee mill
The coffee mill is preset in the factory to make
coffee correctly and should not require adjusting
initially.
However, if after making the first few coffees you
find that delivery is either too fast or too slow (a
drop at a time), this can be corrected by adjusting
the grinding adjustment knob (fig. 7).
Important!
The grinding adjustment knob must only be
turned when the coffee mill is in operation.
For slower coffee delivery
and a creamier coffee,
turn one click towards
“1” (finer pre-ground
coffee).
For faster delivery (not
a drop at a time), turn
one click towards the “7”
(coarser ground coffee).
These adjustments will only be evident after at
least 2 cups of coffee have been delivered.
If delivery is still too fast or too slow, repeat the
correction procedure.
Manual rinsing
For a hotter coffee, before delivery rinse the
appliance through by pressing the : button.
Hot water flows out of the coffee spouts and
heats the internal circuit of the machine so that
the coffee delivered will be hotter.
Danger of burns!
During rinsing, a little hot water flows from the
coffee spouts and is collected in the drip tray.
Avoid contact with splashes of water.
Making espresso coffee using coffee beans
Important!
Do not use caramelised or candied coffee beans
as they could stick to the coffee mill and make it
unusable.
