least 20 minutes to warm up. 

• 

Warm the cups by rinsing them with hot 

water (using the hot water function).

• 

The infuser has cooled down because

• 

Turn the grinding adjustment knob one 

click anticlockwise towards “1” while

Continue one click at a time until coffee 

delivery is satisfactory. The effect is only 

visible after delivering 2 coffees.

• 

Wrong type of coffee

•

makers.

•

The coffee is ground too coarsely.

• 

Turn  the  grinding  adjustment  knob  one 

click anticlockwise towards “1” while the 

coffee mill is in operation (fig. 11). avoid 

turning  the  grinding  adjustment  knob 

excessively  otherwise  when  you  select 

two cups, the coffee may be delivered a 

drop at a time.

Coffee does not come 

out of one of the 

spouts.

• 

The spouts are blocked.

a knife, as described in the section

The frothed milk has 

large bubbles 

• 

The milk is not cold enough or is not 

semi-skimmed.

• 

You should ideally use skimmed or 

semi-skimmed milk at refrigerator 

temperature (about 5°C). if the result is 

still disappointing, try another brand of 

milk.
