12.1 Preparing Espresso / Coffee
(Using Whole Coffee Beans)
Note:
When using the machine for the first time, 4 to 5 cups of espresso /
coffee needs to be made before the machine delivers satisfying results.
1. Fill the water tank with water and the coffee bean container with coffee
beans, according to the directions listed in sections 11.1 and 11.3 of the
manual.
2. Place one empty cup under the spout to make one espresso / coffee
(Figure 11) or two empty cups for two espressos / coffees (Figure 12).
Tip:
Use cups that have been previously heated by rinsing them with hot water
or by leaving them on the cup warmer for at least 20 minutes.
Note:
For more tips on making coffee hotter, see “Tips on Making Hotter
Coffee” section of the manual.
3. Make sure to lower the adjustable coffee spout if the cups are small (Figure
13). For larger cups, push the adjustable coffee spout up to accommodate
the size.
4. Press the button (Figure 14) to make one cup of espresso / coffee or the
button (Figure 15) to make two espressos / coffees.
5. The machine will now grind the beans, run a short pre-brewing cycle, pause
and then complete the delivery.
Note:
While the machine is preparing the espresso / coffee, the delivery can be
terminated at any time by pressing the button (Figure 14) or the
button (Figure 15), as previously selected.
6. Once the desired quantity is reached, the machine will automatically
terminate espresso / coffee delivery and discharge the grounds into the used
coffee container.
Note:
There is no need to empty the used coffee container
until the used coffee container warning light illuminates. (For more details on
this light, please refer to the Troubleshooting section of the manual).
Note:
As soon as delivery is complete, to increase the quantity of the coffee
simply press and hold the button (Figure 14) or the button (Figure
15), as previously selected, until reaching the desired quantity. This operation
must be performed within 3 seconds of the last espresso / coffee delivery.
Caution:
While the machine is delivering espresso / coffee, never remove the
water tank. If it is removed, the machine will not be able to make espresso /
coffee and will become noisy.
7. After a few seconds, when both the green and indicator lights
are on again steadily, another espresso / coffee can be made.
8. To switch the machine off, press the button.
Note:
Before switching off,
the machine will automatically run a rinse cycle. A little hot water will
release from the coffee spout and collect in the removable drip tray.
