appliance will grind and therefore the strength of the coffee
obtained.
Turn the dial to MIN for an extra mild coffee and to MAX for an
extra strong coffee.
Please note:
• The first time you use the appliance, you will need to make
a number of coffees to identify the correct dial position
through trial and error.
• Do not turn the dial too far towards MAX, otherwise the
coffee may be delivered too slowly (a drop at a time), par-
ticularly when making two cups of coffee at the same time.
11.2 Selecting the quantity of coffee in the cup
The appliance is set by default to automatically make the fol-
lowing quantities of coffee:
- short coffee when the
button (B3) is pressed
(
≃
40ml);
- long coffee when the button (B8) is pressed
(
≃
120ml);
- two short coffees when the button (B4) is pressed;
- two long coffees when the button (B9) is pressed.
To change the quantity of coffee the appliance delivers auto-
matically into the cup, proceed as described below:
- press the button corresponding to the quantity to be mod-
ified and hold it down until the light flashes and the appli-
ance starts delivering coffee, then release;
- when the coffee in the cup reaches the desired level, press
the same button again to memorise the new amount.
The machine is now reprogrammed with the new quantities.
11.3 Adjusting the coffee mill
The coffee mill is set by default to prepare coffee correctly and
should not require regulating initially.
However, if after making the first few coffees you find that the
coffee 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 (A2) (fig. 13).

Please note:
The grinding adjustment dial (A2) must only be turned when
the coffee mill is in operation.
If the coffee is delivered too slowly or
not at all, turn one click clockwise.
For fuller bodied creamier coffee, turn
one click anticlockwise (do not turn
more than one click at a time other-
wise the coffee could be delivered a
drop at a time).
These adjustments will only be evident after at least 2 cups of
coffee have been delivered. If this adjustment does not obtain
the desired result, turn the dial another click.
11.4 Setting the temperature
To modify the temperature of the water used to make the coffee,
proceed as follows:
1. With the appliance off and the main switch in the
I position
(fig. 3), press the button (B3) and hold it down until
the lights on the control panel come on;
2. Press the button to select the required temperature:
LOW HIGH
3. Press the button (B8) to confirm the selection. The
lights go off.
11.5 Tips for a hotter coffee
For hotter coffee, you should:
• before delivering the coffee, perform a rinse cycle by press-
ing the button (B5). Hot water is delivered from
the spouts, heating the internal circuits of the appliance
and thus raising the coffee temperature;
• warm the cups with hot water (using the hot water
function).
