collected in the drip tray beneath.
Take care to avoid scalds).
NOTE 1: If the coffee is delivered a drop at a time or not at all,
turn the grinding adjustment knob (fig. 12) one click clockwise
(see “Adjusting the coffee mill”).
Proceed one click at a time until coffee delivery is satisfactory.
NOTE 2: If the coffee is delivered too fast and the cream is not sa-
tisfactory, turn the grinding adjustment knob (fig. 12) one click
anticlockwise (see “Adjusting the coffee mill”).
Avoid turning the grinding adjustment knob excessively other-
wise when you select 2 cups, the coffee may be delivered a drop
at a time.
NOTE 3: Tips for a hotter coffee:
• When you turn the appliance on, if you want to make a
short coffee (less than 60 cc), rinse the cups with hot water
to preheat the cups.
If more than 2/3 minutes have passed since the last coffee
was made, before requesting another coffee, you must
preheat the infuser by pressing the
button (C4) (fig.
13).
Deliver the water into the underlying drip tray or alterna-
tively use this water to fill (and then empty) the cup to be
used for the coffee, so as to preheat it.
• Unless preheated, do not use excessively thick cups as they
will absorb too much heat.
• Preheat the cups by rinsing them with hot water.
NOTE 4: While the appliance is making coffee, delivery can be
interrupted at any moment by pressing the previously selected
button, (C8),
(C9) or (C10).
NOTE 5: As soon as delivery is finished, to increase the quantity
of coffee in the cup, just hold down the previously selected cof-
fee button,
(C8), (C9) or (C10), until the required
amount is reached (this must be done within 3 seconds after
completion of delivery).
NOTE 6: When the appliance displays “FILL TANK”, fill the tank
with water or the appliance will not deliver coffee.
(It is normal for there to be a little water left in the tank when
the message is displayed).
NOTE 7: After about 14 single (or 7 double) coffees, the applian-
ce displays “EMPTY GROUNDS CONTAINER”, indicating that the
grounds container is full and must be emptied and cleaned.
Until the grounds container has been cleaned, the appliance
continues to display the message and coffee cannot be made.
To clean, open the service door on the front of the appliance by
pulling the handle (fig. 14), extract the drip tray (fig. 15), empty
and clean.
When cleaning,
always extract the drip tray completely
to
avoid it falling when the grounds container is removed.
Empty the grounds container and clean thoroughly to remove
all residues left on the bottom.
Important! when removing the drip tray, the grounds
container MUST be emptied, even if it is not completely full. If
this is not done, when you make the next coffees, the grounds
container may fill up more than expected and clog the machi-
ne.
NOTE 8: Never extract the water tank while the machine is de-
livering coffee.
If it is removed, it will not be possible to make the coffee and
the appliance will display “GROUND TOO FINE ADJUST MILL and
INSERT WATER SPOUT AND PRESS OK”.
To use the appliance again, insert the hot water spout (fig. 4) if
not already in position, then press the OK button (C5) and deli-
ver water from the spout for a few seconds.
CHANGING THE QUANTITY OF COFFEE IN THE CUP
The appliance is set by default to automatically make the fol-
lowing types of coffee:
• short coffee when the button (C8) is pressed;
• standard coffee when the
button (C9) is pressed;
• long coffee when the button (C10) is pressed.
To change these quantities, proceed as follows:
• hold down the button corresponding to the quantity you
want to change, (C8), or (C9) or (C10), for at
least 3 seconds then release until the message “PROGRAM
QUANTITY” is displayed and coffee delivery commences;
• when the coffee in the cup reaches the required level, press
the same button again to memorise the new amount.
The appliance is now reprogrammed with the new settings and
displays: “READY”.
