HOW TO PREPARE THE COFFEE
Preparing the coffee maker
• Make sure the coffee maker is cold, then
unscrew by holding the boiler with one hand
and turning the carafe anticlockwise with the
other (fig. 1).
• Remove the funnel filter and, to prepare a full
coffee maker, fill the boiler with fresh water up
to the safety valve (visible inside the boiler),
without exceeding it (Fig. 2).
To prepare half the coffee maker, fill the boiler
with water up to the circular mark under the
safety valve (fig. 3 -
X
).
TIP: use soft fresh water. Salty or hard water will
weaken the flavour.
IMPORTANT: do not use the coffee maker
without water in the boiler. Do not use hot
water to speed up coffee making.
• Insert the funnel filter in the boiler (fig. 4). To
prepare half the coffee maker, insert the adap-
ter disc (
G
) in the funnel filter (fig. 5).
• Fill the funnel filter with ground coffee, without
pressing down (fig. 6). Fill it a little at a time to
avoid the ground coffee overflowing.
• Distribute the ground coffee uniformly and
remove any excess coffee from the edge of the
filter.
IMPORTANT: Use good quality, medium-
ground coffee, for moka coffee makers.
Do not use to make barley coffee.
• Tighten the coffee maker firmly but without
exaggerating, holding the boiler with one
hand and turning the carafe clockwise with
the other, without pushing on the handle.
IMPORTANT: to avoid dangerous splashes of
boiling water, never use the coffee maker
unless the disk filter (D) is correctly in position.
• Rest the coffee maker on the base (Fig. 7).
Close the lid.
Manual start-up
• Press the START/STOP button (
S
). The
indicator light (
Z
) comes on to indicate that the
coffee maker is operating. The indicator light
(
Q
) on the other hand indicates that the Keep
Warm function is activated. If you do not
want this function, press the Keep Warm
button (
R
).
• Coffee delivery will begin after a few minutes.
• When all the coffee has been delivered, the
word "END" appears on the display accom-
panied by three beeps. The indicator light (
Z
)
goes off after a few minutes. To remove the
word "END", press any button and wait for a
few minutes. The current time reappears.
Programmed start-up
• Once the coffee maker has been prepared,
press the "Timer On" (
V
) button. After pro-
gramming the required start-up time, the "pro-
grammed start-up" (
U
) and "Keep Warm" (
Q
)
indicator lights come on. (If you want to deac-
tivate the "Keep Warm" function, press the
" " button again).
• At the programmed time, the appliance emits
a series of beeps, the "programmed start-up"
indicator light (
U
) goes off and the indicator
light (
Z
) comes on showing that the appliance
has begun to heat the water.
• When all the coffee has been delivered, the
word "END" appears on the display and the
appliance emits 3 beeps. After a few minutes
the indicator light (
Z
) goes off and the “Keep
Warm” indicator light (
Q
) remains on.
• Press any button to eliminate the "END"
display.
