4) While the machine is making the coffee, the
delivery can be stopped at any time by pres-
sing the button (Fig. 12) or button
(Fig. 13), as previously selected.
5) As soon as delivery is complete, to increase
the quantity of coffee, simply press and hold
the button (Fig. 12) or button (Fig.
13), as previously selected, until reaching the
desired quantity (this operation must be per-
formed within 3 seconds from the end of the
delivery of the coffee from the spouts).
6) When the alarm comes on (see page 16),
the water tank must be filled, otherwise the
coffee cannot be made. The water tank can
only be removed if the milk frother is first
positioned towards the centre of the machine.
(It is normal for there to be a little water left in
the tank when the alarm comes on).
7) The machine counts the number of cups of
coffee made. Each 14 single cups (or 7 dou-
ble cups), the light switches on steady
(see page 16), warning the user that the
grounds container is full and must be emptied
and cleaned. Until the grounds container has
been cleaned, the light will remain on and the
machine cannot deliver coffee. To clean, open
the service door at the front by pulling the
spout (fig. 15). The light flashes (see page
17). Remove the drip tray (fig. 16), empty and
clean. Empty and carefully clean the grounds
container, making sure to remove all the resi-
dues that may be deposited on the bottom.
Also dry any drops of condensate that may
have formed inside the machine under the
drip tray. IMPORTANT: when removing the
drip tray, the grounds container MUST be
emptied, even if it is not completely full. If
this is not done, when next making coffee
the grounds container may fill over the
maximum level and block the machine with
lumps of coffee grounds.
8) The grinder in the coffee maker may become
worn over time and consequently the coffee
will change taste as it is ground more coar-
sely.
To resolve this problem, re-set the grinding
coarseness on the coffee grinder by adjusting
the knob (Fig. 17) one click anticlockwise (as
described in “Regulating the coffee mill”).
9) If the machine is not used for a long period,
the infuser must be cleaned, as described in
“Cleaning the infuser”.
10) While the machine is delivering coffee, never
remove the water tank. If it is removed, the
machine will not be able to make the coffee
and the "no water" light will flash. If you try
and make another coffee, the machine beco-
mes noisy and does not make the coffee. To
reset the machine, turn the steam knob anti-
clockwise as far as it will go and run off water
from the cappuccino maker for a few
seconds.
Regulating the coffee mill
The coffee mill is preset in the factory to prepare
coffee correctly and should not require regulating
initially.
However, if after making the first few coffees you
find that run-off is either too fast or too slow
(drips), this can be corrected by adjusting the
grinding coarseness regulator knob (fig. 17).
For slower run-off and
creamier coffee, turn
one click towards the "1"
(finer ground coffee).
For faster run-off (not in
drips, turn one click
towards the "7" (coarser
ground coffee).
These adjustments will only be evident after at
least 2 cups of coffee have been run off.
Important! The grinding coarseness regu-
lator must only be turned when the coffee mill is
in operation.
Making coffee using pre-ground
coffee
NB! If you use pre-ground coffee, you can
only make one cup of coffee at a time.
1. Press the button to select the ground
coffee function (Fig. 18). The light inside the
button switches on to indicate that the func-
tion has been selected and the coffee grinder
has been disabled.
2. Lift the lid in the centre (L), insert the pre-
ground coffee measure in the funnel (see fig.
19) and press the button (fig. 12 to make
one cup of coffee.
