5 THE COFFEE GRINDER (FIG.10)
Caution! Only turn the grinder control
knob, found inside the coffee bean
container (Fig .10), when the coffee grinder
is working and in increments of 2 settings
at a time only. Do not insert ground and/or
instant coffee in the coffee bean container. Do
not insert anything other than coffee beans
in the container. The coffee grinder contains
dangerous moving parts; keep fingers and/or
other objects away. Before carrying out any
operations in the coffee bean container, switch
OFF the ON/OFF switch (7) and remove the
plug from the wall outlet. Do not insert coffee
beans when the coffee grinder is working..
The quality and the taste of your coffee depend
not only on the blend you use, but also on
the grinder setting.
The appliance comes with a grinder adjustment
knob (Fig.10). T o use this feature, turn the
graduated knob when the coffee grinder is
working and in increments of 2. The numbers
displayed on the knob indicate the grinder
setting. The manufacturer sets the knob to an
average grinder setting at the factory: if the ground
coffee is too fine, turn the knob toward the higher
numbers; if the ground coffee is too coarse, turn
the knob toward the lower numbers.
You will notice the change only after brewing
three /four cups of coffee.
Use coffee beans for espresso coffee makers.
Avoid using extreme grinder positions (e.g. 1 and
16); if this is necessary , try using different coffee
blends.
Store the coffee in a cool and dry place, in an
airtight container.
You should change the grinder position if the
coffee does not flow optimally , specifically:
Too fast = grinding too coarse > grind coffee
finer (smaller setting);
Too slow (drips and/or no flow) = grinding too
fine > grind coffee coarser (higher setting).
6 ADJUSTING THE COFFEE
DOSE (FIG.11)
You may select the quantity of coffee beans (dose)
that you wish to grind per cup. The manufacturer
sets an average dose at the factory.
To change the coffee dose, simply turn the knob
(Fig. 11) found inside the coffee bean
container. Turn it counterclockwise to increase the
dose (towards +) and clockwise to decrease the
dose (towards -). The - = 6g and + = 9 g.
You must adjust the dose before pressing the
desired coffee button.
This system allows you to obtain an optimal cup
of coffee with all types of marketed coffee.
7 THE COFFEE DISPENSER
Note: If the appliance does not di-
spense coffee, check the water level

The appliance is already set to an average value
(hardness 3).
Before proceeding , you must check
the water hardness of your area
using the strip supplied with the appliance.
Quickly immerse (1 second) the strip into
the water and shake slightly . After a minu-
te, the strip shows the test results.
To program this function, proceed as follows:
Press the button (22); the number of lit buttons
indicates the programmed water hardness;
If you desire to change the water hardness
level, press the button (22) repeatedly until the
correct number of lit buttons are displayed,
indicating the water hardness level.
If in doubt,program to a higher water hardness.
Hardness 1 = buttons (22) and (23) lit
Hardness 2 = buttons (22), (23) and (24) lit
Hardness 3 = buttons (22), (23), (24) and (25) lit
Hardness 4 = buttons (22), (23), (24), (25) and (26) lit
The hardness index matches the 1-4 squares on
the strip.
12.2 Programming the rinsing cycle
When first switched ON, the machine will carry out
