Warning! During coff ee brewing, do not remove
the fi lter holder by manually turning it clock-
wise. Danger of burns!
• During this operation the brew button machine ready light
(4) may turn on and off . This should be considered a stand-
ard operation, not a fault.
• Before using the machine, make sure that the hot water/
steam knob (6) is closed and that there is enough water in
the machine tank.
• If the machine is off , switch it on by means of the power
button (3). The light placed inside it will turn on.

Insert the Crema fi lter holder into the brew unit
from the bottom (7) and turn it from left to right until it

again.

Remove the fi lter holder from the machine by

(11), there is no need to change the fi lter when making one
or two coff ees.
•
(Fig.22) -
Add 1 or 2 scoops of ground coff ee to the fi lter for
one or two coff ees, respectively.
• Clean the fi lter holder rim from any coff ee grounds.
•

unit (7) from the bottom and turn it from left to right until it

TIPS FOR CHOOSING COFFEE
As a general rule, any type of coff ee available on the market can
be used.
However, coff ee is a natural product and its fl avour changes ac-
cording to its origin and blend; it is therefore a good idea to try
diff erent types of coff ee in order to fi nd the most suited to your
personal taste.
For optimal results, we recommend using espresso machine
blends.
As a rule, coff ee should always come out of the fi lter holder
regularly and without dripping.
The speed of coff ee brewing can be modifi ed by slightly chang-
ing the amount of coff ee in the fi lter, the degree of grind and/or
how the coff ee is tamped in the fi lter.
