Preparing coffee
Note: Prime the machine before
starting up for the first time, or if
the machine has been inoperative for
a lengthy period or the water container
has been completely emptied, it is
advisable to load the circuit. The
machine should also be primed
whenever the message
v e n t i l a t e
appears on the
display.
• Press the button (21) again.
• Once the above operations have been
completed, the machine is ready to be
used. When the machine has reached
the operating temperature the display will
show the message:

To dispense coffee or steam and use the
machine properly, you should carefully
follow the instructions below.
5 PREPARING COFFEE
The machine is ready for use as soon as
the message
s e l e c t p r o d u c t
r e a d y f o r u s e
appears on
the display.
• The coffee dispenser may be adjusted
to the desired height. This allows you to
use cups of various sizes and the
machine may be adapted to individual
needs. After use, set the dispenser back
in the original position.
• Place one or two cups on the drip
tray (3) and press the button for making
the type of coffee preferred (18, 19, or
20).
5.1 Coffee grinder
Warning! The grinder
adjustment knob inside the
29
coffee container must be turned only
while the coffee grinder is operating.
Do not introduce ground and/or
freeze-dried coffee in the coffee bean
container.
Do not introduce any material
other than coffee beans. Inside
the coffee grinder there are moving
parts that may be dangerous; do not
place your fingers and/or other objects
inside the grinder. Before performing
any kind of operation inside the coffee
container, switch off the machine and
unplug it. Do not introduce coffee
beans while the grinder is operating.
The quality and flavor of your
coffee will depend not only on the
blend you use but also on how finely
you grind it. The machine has a knob
(11) for adjusting the grind. To adjust
the grind, turn the graduated knob
while the grinder is operating; the
numbers on the knob indicate the
fineness of the grind. Every machine
is factory-regulated to a medium-sized
grind; turn the knob to lower numbers
to obtain a coarser grind, turn the knob
to higher numbers to obtain a finer
grind. The variation in the fineness of
the grind will be noted only after three
or four coffees have been dispensed.
Use blends of coffee beans for
espresso machines. Avoid using
extreme grind settings (e.g. 1 – 16); in
these cases use different blends of
coffee. Store coffee in an airtight
container in a cool, dry place.
You should adjust the grind setting when
the coffee is not dispensed properly:
Coffee pours out too fast = excessively
coarse grind > set knob on a finer grind;
Coffee drips out slowly and/or not at all
= excessively fine grind > set knob on
coarser grind.
