5.2 Dose adjustment
The machine allows you to adjust the
amount of coffee (dose) to be ground
according to your requirements. The
manufacturer has set a standard dose that
satisfies most needs: notch (A)
corresponding to the point of reference (B).
Turn the knob (12) inside the coffee
container counterclockwise to increase the
dose of ground coffee; turn it clockwise to
reduce the dose of ground coffee.
You must carry out the dose adjustment
before pressing the button to dispense
coffee. This system makes it possible to
achieve optimal coffee making with all
types of coffee commercially available.
5.3 Coffee dose per cup
The machine has been programmed for 3
types of coffee: American-style, medium-
strength or espresso.
To adapt the programmed amounts to the
cup size, place the cup beneath the
dispenser, press the button for making the
type of coffee desired (18, 19, or 20) and
keep it pressed. In the digital field the
message
1 c o f f e e
p r o g r . q u a n t i t y
will appear.
When the cup has been filled to the desired
level, release the button.
Important: keep the button (18,
19, or 20) pressed down for the
whole duration of the process.
5.4 Single or double shots (1 or 2
cups)
• When you press the coffee-making
button (18, 19, or 20) the machine will
prepare one cup of coffee. To make two
cups or a double shot of espresso, press
the button twice.

• You may stop dispensing at any time by briefly
pressing the same button (18, 19, or 20)
Important: the machine is
equipped with an automatic pre-
brewing system. The coffee blend is first
moistened, the flow of coffee is briefly
interrupted, and then the actual
brewing process starts; the message
p r e b r e w i n g
appears on the display.
6 DISPENSING STEAM/
PREPARING CAPPUCCINO
The steam may be used to froth milk for
cappuccino and to heat up beverages. The
machine requires no pre-heating.
Danger of scalding!
The steam may be preceded by
brief sprays of hot water. The steam
wand can reach very high
temperatures: avoid touching it directly
with your hands.
• When the machine is ready to di-
spense coffee, position the steam wand
(5) over the drip tray (2), open the “hot
water/steam” knob (6) for a few seconds
to discharge residual water from the steam
wand; in short time only steam will issue
from the wand. The display will show

• Close the knob (6).
• Fill the receptacle you want to use for
making cappuccino to 1/3 with cold milk.
Use only cold milk to ensure the best
results when making cappuccino.
• Place the tip of the steam wand in
the milk to be heated and open the knob
(6); slowly raise the receptacle, with
gentle rotating movements, to obtain a
uniform layer of foam.
