If the coffee is delivered too slowly
or not at all, turn one click clockwise
towards “7”.
For fuller bodied creamier coffee, turn
one click anticlockwise towards “1”
(do not turn more than one click at
a time otherwise 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.
9.5 Tips for a hotter coffee
For hotter coffee, you should:
•
before delivering the coffee, perform a rinse cycle by press-
ing the
button (B4). Hot water is delivered from the
spout (A12), heating the internal circuits of the appliance
and thus raising the coffee temperature;
• warm the cups with hot water (using the hot water
function);
• set a hotter coffee temperature (see the section “8.5 Set-
ting the temperature”).
9.6 Making coffee using coffee beans
Important!
Do not use caramelised or candied coffee beans as they could
stick to the coffee mill and damage it.
1. Fill the container (A7 - fig. 11) with coffee beans.
2. Place under the coffee spouts:
- 1 cup, if you want to make 1 coffee (fig. 9);
- 2 cups if you want 2 coffees.
3. Lower the spouts (A12) as near as possible to the cups (fig.
13). This makes a creamier coffee.
4. Press the button corresponding to the number of coffees
required (1 cup B7 or 2 cups B8) (figs. 12 and
14).
5. Preparation begins. The amount of coffee selected is dis-
played together with a progress bar which gradually fills as
preparation progresses.
Once the coffee has been made, the appliance is ready to make
the next drink.
Please note :
• While the machine is making coffee, delivery can be inter-
rupted at any moment by pressing one of the two coffee
buttons (
or ).
• At the end of delivery, to increase the quantity of coffee in
the cup, just press (within 3 seconds) one of the coffee but-
tons (
or ).
Please note:
For hotter coffee, see the section “9.5 Tips for a hotter coffee”.
Important!
• If the coffee is delivered a drop at a time, too weak and not
creamy enough or too cold, read the tips in the “19 Trouble-
shooting” section.
• Various alarm messages could appear on the display (B1)
while using the machine (fill tank, empty grounds con-
tainer, etc.). Their meaning is explained in the section “18.
Displayed messages”.
9.7 Making coffee using pre-ground coffee
Important!
• Never place coffee beans in the pre-ground coffee funnel
(A6) as this could damage the appliance.
• Never add pre-ground coffee when the machine is off or it
could spread through the inside of the machine and dirty
it. This could damage the appliance.
• Never use more than 1 level meas-
ure (C2) or it could dirty the inside
of the coffee machine or block the
funnel.
Please note :
When you use pre-ground coffee, you can only make one cup of
coffee at a time.
1. Make sure the appliance is on;
2. Press the button (B6 - fig. 7) until “Pre-ground”
is displayed;
3. Make sure the funnel (A6) is not blocked, then add one
level measure of pre-ground coffee (fig. 15);
4. Place a cup under the coffee spouts (A12- fig. 9);
5. Press the 1 cup coffee button
(B7 - fig. 12);
6. Preparation begins. The amount of coffee selected is dis-
played together with a progress bar which gradually fills as
preparation progresses.
10. MAKING CAPPUCCINO AND HOT MILK (NOT
FROTHED)
Danger of burns!
During preparation, steam is given off. Take care to avoid scalds.
1. When preparing cappuccino, make the coffee in a large
cup;
2. Fill a container (preferably one with a handle to avoid
scalding) with about 100 ml of milk for each cappuccino.
