Customising the “MY COFFEE” quantity

The appliance is set by default to automatically 

deliver 30 ml of “my coffee”. 

To modify these settings, proceed as follows:

1.  Place a cup under the coffee spouts (fig. 9).

2.  Turn the selection knob (B6) until the  

 

light comes on. 

3.  Press the 1 cup button 

(fig. 10) until the 

  light starts flashing and the appliance 

starts delivering coffee, then release the but-

ton. 

4.  as soon as the coffee in the cup reaches the 

required  level,  press  the  1  cup  button 

 

again.

The quantity of coffee in the cup has now been 

programmed.

Adjusting the coffee mill

The coffee mill is preset in the factory to make 

coffee correctly and should not require adjusting 

initially.  however,  if  after  making  the  first  few 

coffees you find that the coffee is too thin and 

not creamy enough or that delivery is too slow 

(a drop at a time), this can be corrected by adju-

sting the grinding adjustment knob  (fig. 11).

 Please note! 

The grinding adjustment knob must only be tur-

ned when the coffee mill is in operation.

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  anti-

clockwise  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 knob another click. 

Tips for a hotter coffee

For  a  hotter  coffee,  before  delivery  you  are  re-

commended  to  rinse  the  appliance  through,  as 

follows:

 Danger of burns! 

during rinsing, a little hot water comes out of the 

coffee spouts and is collected in the drip tray un-

derneath.  avoid contact with splashes of water. 

1.  Press the P button to enter the menu;

2.  Turn the selection knob until 

 light comes 

on;

3.  Press the 

 

  button to select the fun-

ction: OK light flashes;

4.  Press the 

 

 button to start the function 

(or the 

 button to exit); the 

 light 

flashes.

5.  once finished, the appliance is ready to make 

coffee. .
