•2 "+" and "-" setting buttons (22).
MEASURE SELECTION
2 separate buttons provide selection by pushing just once.
•Selection button 1 for 1 coffee (20)
•Selection button 2 for 2 coffees (21)
A luminous indicator showing the measure selected lights up according to the selection.
The measure selected is automatically dispensed as soon as the user places the
filter holder under the ground coffee outlet tube (23) (fig. H).
DISPLAY MODE SELECTION
Pressing the "1 coffee" or "2 coffees" selection key which is already illuminated provides
the means for changing the display mode.
Note: On turning on the power or after having changed the timer values, "mode 1" is
automatically active. Operating either of the 2 measure selection keys, or changing
the timers, activates the active display mode before the appliance stops.

1. Clip the ground coffee collector (3) onto the base (4).
2. Placer the bean container (2) on the grinder unit adjustment nut (5).
3. Pour the roasted coffee beans into the bean container and put the lid on the bean
container.
4. Open the bean container shutter (6).
USING:

the 1 position (the control panel display (19) shows the total number of measures
dispensed) (fig. A).
2. Press the selector button (20 or 21) according to your selection (1 coffee or 2

Grinding adjustment:
CARE: Changing the grinding setting will always require resetting the
timers. See the information chart in the next section:
Note: Never operate the machine with the two grindstones in contact. Letting the
grindstones come into contact may result in the grindings jamming in the grinder unit and
premature wear of the grindstones.
The machine is set in the factory for the "0" marker on the nut (5) graduated plate to
correspond to the finest grinding without the grindstones touching (fig. C).
On delivery, the machine is set to an espresso-type grinding with the adjusting nut (5)
approximately on the marker (15)
1. Hold the adjustment nut (5) with one hand and press the indexing pointer (7)
with the other
2. Tighten the adjustment nut by turning in a clockwise direction (right-handed
thread) by one or two notches for finer grinding.
3. Loosen the adjustment nut by turning in an anti-clockwise direction (right-
handed thread) by one or two notches for coarser grinding.
4. Release the indexing pointer (7) to lock the nut in position.
5. Draw off a few measures of coffee to check the grinding adjustment.
The machine can provide very fine grinding. However, depending on the type of coffee
used, be careful not to bring the grindstones into contact as this would cause the output to
drop considerably and alter the coffee aroma.
