4. Select the brew strength or ‘PRE-GROUND’.
There are 8 strength settings. The LCD screen will display the current setting.
Rotate the STRENGTH dial to select your required setting. 1 is the weakest and
8 is the strongest. We recommend starting on setting 4 for a medium strength
coffee. Adjust strength higher or lower to suit your taste.
Note:
If using pre-ground coffee, rotate the STRENGTH dial to select the ‘PRE-GROUND’
coffee setting. This will disable the grinder. The maximum capacity for pre-ground
coffee is 12 level tablespoons. Exceeding this amount may cause overflow.
Note:
If using the grinder, ensure that the filter is empty and properly in place and there
are enough beans in the bean hopper. See: ›Before Each Use‹. Do not overfill the
bean hopper. The hopper lid must close without effort.
5. With a brew strength selected, the grinder function is activated. In this case,
ensure that the bean hopper is filled with up to 225 g fresh coffee beans. Close
the hopper lid.
6. With 'PRE-GROUND' selected, add pre-ground coffee to the gold tone filter or
a paper filter. We recommend 1 level tablespoon of pre-ground coffee per 1
cup of water (150 ml). Adjust the amount according to your individual taste.
However, do not fill in more than 12 level tablespoons.

Start
the
brew
cycle.
Press the START | CANCEL button. With the grind function selected, the grinder
will start grinding the correct amount of coffee for the selected brew size and
strength. If the ‘PRE-GROUND’ coffee setting has been selected, the grinder will
be disabled.
The count-down timer will then begin. The time displayed is an estimate only and will
depend on the brew size and strength settings you have selected.
Note:
Steam may emit from the rear steam vent during grinding and brewing. This is
normal. Do not hold your face, hands, or arms over the coffee brewer during ope-
ration.
During operation, the LCD screen will display:
a) ‘PRE-HEATING’ as the water is heated to the optimal temperature. The pre-
heating time will depend on the starting temperature of the water in the water
tank.
b) ‘INFUSING’ as the water is delivered to the ground coffee.
