13. MAKING COFFEE
13.1 Selecting the coee taste
Turn the coee taste selection dial (B9) to set the required taste.
Turning it clockwise increases the quantity of coee beans the
appliance will grind and therefore the strength of the coee ob-
tained. Turn the dial to MIN for an extra mild coee and to MAX
for an extra strong coee.
Please note :
• The rst time you use the appliance, you will need to make
a number of coees to identify the correct dial position
through trial and error.
• Do not turn the dial too far towards MAX, otherwise the
coee may be delivered too slowly (a drop at a time), par-
ticularly when making two cups of coee at the same time.
13.2 Selecting the quantity of coee in the cup
The appliance is set by default to automatically make the fol-
lowing quantities of coee:
coee requested icon quantity delivered
1 short coee (≃40ml)
1 long coee (≃120ml)
2 short coees (≃40ml) x2
2 long coees (≃120ml) x2
To change the quantity of coee the appliance delivers automa-
tically into the cup, proceed as described below:
- press and hold the icon (B2) or icon (B11) (de-
pending on the quantity you want to modify) until the icon
ashes and all the alarm lights ash 4 times. When the
appliance starts delivering coee, release the icon;
- when the coee in the cup reaches the required level, press
the same icon again to memorise the new amount.
When the icon is pressed again, the new quantities have been
memorised.

12
Please note!
Programming the one coee quantity also programmes the
quantity of coee in the corresponding two cups.
13.3 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 (A21 - 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 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.
13.4 Tips for a hotter coee
For hotter coee, you should:
• perform a rinse cycle before delivering the coee by press-
ing the icon (B10).
• Warm the cups with hot water (using the hot water
function).
• Increase the coee temperature as described in section “9.
Setting temperature”section.
13.5 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 (A3- g. 9).
2. Place under the coee spouts:
- 1 cup, if you want to make 1 coee (g. 10);
- 2 cups, if you want 2 coees (g. 11).
3. Lower the spouts (A9) as near as possible to the cup. This
makes a creamier coee (g. 12).
4. Press the icon corresponding to the required coee:
coee requested icon
1 short coee
1 long coee
2 short coees
2 long coees
5. Preparation begins and the light corresponding to the se-
lected icon lights steady on the touch screen (B).
Once the coee has been made, the appliance is ready to make
the next drink.
Please note:
• While the machine is making coee, delivery can be inter-
rupted at any moment by pressing any button.
• At the end of delivery, to increase the quantity of coee
in the cup, just press one of the coee icons (within 3
seconds).

Their meaning is given in the section “22. Explanation of
the lights”.
• For hotter coee, see the section “13.4 Tips for a hotter
coee”.
13.6 Making coee using pre-ground coee
Important!
• Never place coee beans in the pre-ground coee funnel
(A4) as this could damage the appliance.
• Never add pre-ground coee when the machine is o or it
could spread through the inside of the machine and dirty
it.This could damage the appliance.
• Never use more than 1 level meas-
ure (C2) or it could dirty the inside
of the coee machine or block the

24. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION UK ONLY
Before using this appliance ensure that the voltage indicated on the product corresponds with the main voltage in your home, if you
are in any doubt about your supply contact your local electricity company.
The exible mains lead is supplied connected to a B.S. 1363 fused plug having a fuse of 13 amp capacity.
Should this plug not t the socket outlets in your home, it should be cut o and replaced with a suitable plug, following the proce-
dure outlined below.
Note: Such a plug cannot be used for any other appliance and should therefore be properly disposed of and not left where children
might nd it and plug it into a supply socket - with the obvious consequent danger.
Please note: We recommend the use of good quality plugs and wall sockets that can be switched o when the machine is not in use.
IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead tted to this appliance are coloured in accordance with the following code:
GREEN AND YELLOW EARTH
BLUE NEUTRAL
BROWN LIVE
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
- The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or
by the earth symbol or coloured green or green and yellow.
- The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
- The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.
When wiring the plug, ensure that all strands of wire are securely retained in each terminal. Do not forget to tighten the mains
lead clamp on the plug. If your electricity supply point has only two pin socket outlets, or if you are in doubt, consult a qualied
electrician.
Should the mains lead ever require replacement, it is essential that this operation be carried out by a qualied electrician and should
only be replaced with a exible cord of the same size.
After replacement of a fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be retted. If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a
replacement cover is obtained. The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that of the coloured insert in the base of the fuse
recess or elsewhere on the plug. Always state this colour when ordering a replacement fuse cover.
Only 13amp replacement fuses which are asta approved to B.S. 1362 should be tted.
This appliance conforms to the Norms EN 55014 regarding the suppression of radio interference.
