6. When the lights corresponding to the water hardness
measured come on, release the button;
7. Then press the
button to turn the appliance off
(stand-by).
Please note: If the water softener filter is being used correctly, set the
appliance to a lower hardness level than that measured on the indicator
paper.
6. ON/STAND-BY
When the main switch (A3) is in the I position, turn the appli-
ance on and off (stand-by) by pressing the
button (B1).
The appliance goes off (stand-by) automatically after a certain

7. HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING PRE-
GROUND COFFEE.
1. Place the ground coffee filter (C2) or (C3) in the filter holder
(C1) (fig. 12). Use the
filter to make one coffee or
the
filter to make two coffees;
2. To make just one coffee, place one level measure of pre-
ground coffee (about 7 g) in the filter. (fig. 12). To make two
coffees, place two loosely filled measures (about 6+6 g) of
pre-ground coffee in the filter. Fill the filter a little at a time to
prevent the pre-ground coffee from overflowing;
Important: for correct operation, before filling with pre-ground coffee,
make sure there are no coffee residues left in the filter from the last time
you made coffee.
3. Distribute the ground coffee evenly and press gently
down with the presser (fig. 13). Correct pressing of the
pre-ground coffee is essential to obtain a good espresso.
If pressing is excessive, coffee delivery will be slow and the
froth will be dark. If pressing is too light, coffee delivery
will be too rapid and the froth will be skimpy and light
coloured;
4. Remove any excess coffee from the rim of the filter holder
and attach the filter holder to the appliance. To attach
correctly, align the filter holder handle with the
OPEN
symbol (fig. 4), attach the filter holder and rotate the
handle towards the right until aligned with the CLOSE
symbol (fig. 5);
5. Place the cup or cups under the filter holder spouts (fig.
14). You are recommended to warm the cups before
making coffee by rinsing them with a little hot water;
6. Make sure the lights corresponding to the coffee buttons
are on, then press the coffee button (
(B3) or
(B5)). The appliance makes the coffee and delivery stops
automatically.
Please note:
•
While the appliance is making coffee, delivery can be interrupted at any
moment by pressing the coffee button pressed previously.
•
At the end of delivery, to increase the quantity of coffee in the cup, just
press and hold (within 3 seconds) the coffee button pressed previously.
•
To remove the filter holder, turn the handle from right to left.
Danger of scalding
To avoid splashes, never remove the filter holder while the
appliance is delivering coffee. Wait for a few seconds after delivery.
8. HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING
PODS
Please note: use pods conforming to the ESE standard, indicated on the
pack by the following symbol. The ESE standard is a system accepted by
leading pod producers and enables espresso coffee to be prepared simply
and cleanly.
1. Place the pod coffee filter (C4) (
) in the filter holder
(C1);
2. Insert a pod, centring it as far as possible in the filter (fig.
15). Always follow the instructions on the pod pack to po-
sition the pod on the filter correctly;
3. Attach the filter holder to the appliance. Always turn as far
as it will go (fig. 5);
4. Proceed as in points 5 and 6 in the previous section.
9. PROGRAMMING THE QUANTITIES OF COFFEE
IN THE CUP
The appliance is set by default to automatically deliver standard
quantities. To change these quantities, proceed as follows:
1. Place a cup under the coffee spouts (A5);
2. Press and hold the button you want to programme (
(B3) or
(B5)). The appliance starts delivering coffee;
3. Once the required quantity of coffee has been delivered
into the cup, release the button. Delivery stops.
The machine is now reprogrammed with the new quantities.
10. CUP WARMER
(fig. 16)
The cup warmer is activated by pressing the
button. Leave
the cups on the cup warmer until they are warm. This helps to
make hot coffee.
You should not deliver hot water
for more than 60 seconds.
