button (fig. 11) repea-
tedly until the required taste is displayed.

quantity of coffee is displayed:

Customising the “my coffee” quantity
The appliance is set by default to automatically deliver 30 ml of
“MY COFFEE”. To modify this quantity, proceed as follows:
1. Place a cup under the coffee spouts (fig. 13).
2. Press the
button (fig. 12) until “MY COFFEE” is
displayed.
3. Keep the button (fig. 17) pressed until the message
“1 MY COFFEE Program quantity” is displayed and coffee
delivery begins. Release the button.
4. As soon as the coffee in the cup reaches the required level,
press the button (fig. 17) again.
The quantity of coffee in the cup set has now been programmed.
The programmed quantity is doubled for the
button.
Adjusting the coffee mill
The coffee mill is set by default to prepare coffee correctly and
should not require regulating initially.
However, if after making the first few coffees you find that the
coffee is either too weak and with not enough ‘crema’ or delivery
is too slow (a drop at a time) and the coffee is very strong, this
can be corrected by adjusting the grinding adjustment dial (fig.
14).
Please note!
The grinding adjustment dial must only be turned when the
coffee mill is in operation.
If the coffee is delivered too slowly or
not at all, turn one click clockwise to-
wards “7”.
For fuller bodied coffee with more
‘crema’, turn one click anticlockwise to-
wards “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.
Tips for a hotter coffee
For hotter coffee, you should:
• perform a rinse cycle, selecting the “Rinsing” function in
the settings menu (page 10).
• warm the cups by rinsing them with hot water (using the
hot water function);
• increase the coffee temperature in the settings menu
(page 11).
Making coffee using coffee beans
Important!
Do not use caramelised or candied coffee beans as they could
stick to the coffee mill and make it unusable.
1. Fill the container with coffee beans (fig. 15).
2. Place under the coffee spouts:
- 1 cup, if you want to make 1 coffee (fig. 13);
- 2 cups if you want 2 coffees (fig. 16).
3. Lower the spout as near as possible to the cups (fig. 16).
This makes a creamier coffee.
4. Press the button corresponding to the number of coffees
required (1 cup or 2 cups ).
5. Preparation begins. The amount of coffee selected is di-
splayed together with a progress bar which gradually fills
as preparation progresses.
Please note:
• While the machine is making coffee, delivery can be inter-
rupted at any moment by pressing any button.
• At the end of delivery and within 3 seconds, press and hold
one of the coffee buttons to increase the quantity of coffee
in the cup (
or ) (fig. 17).
Once the coffee has been made, the appliance is ready to make
the next drink.
