Before starting the machine
•Each capsule contains the correct amount of coffee for one cup of light coffee, medium coffee
or strong coffee.
•The amount of water dispensed by the machine varies depending on the type of coffee your are
making: light coffee: 100 ml, medium coffee: 60 ml, strong coffee: 40 ml
•The above amounts are factory-calibrated but they can be changed to suit your personal taste.
You can choose whether to increase or decrease the amount of water for each variety of capsule.
More information about this option is contained in the section of this manual called "User settings
according to user taste”.
• Coffee is more flavoursome if served in a warm cup. To pre-heat the cup,
you simply need to fill the cup with hot water and empty it before use.
Operating the coffee machine
•Once the coffee machine is ON and a capsule is inside
the holder, it is advisable not to wait too long before using
the capsule so as not to loose the flavour of the coffee.
•A used capsule should never be left inside the machine.
The damp coffee that remains in the capsule after use is
bound to mould just like any ground coffee or food stuff. If
a used capsule is inadvertently left in the machine for a few
days, clean the capsule holder in accordance with the
instructions given in this manual and, if necessary, clean the
spike inside the capsule-holder support, being careful not to
cut yourself.
• If the machine remains out of use for more than a week,
dispense a cup of hot water (as described in the next
paragraph) before using it to make coffee.
Filling the water tank
•Remove the cable plug from the power outlet.
• Remove the tank from its place
(Fig. 5)
and fill the tank
with cold water.
(Fig.6)
•Put the water tank back in place and ensure that the clear
hose is fully immersed in the water.
•Connect the plug to the power outlet.
•Turn ON the machine by pressing the ON/OFF switch;
the buttons with the cup symbols will start blinking.
When the buttons stop blinking and light steadily, the machine
is ready for use.
Note:
Some water may dribble out of the capsule holder while the water is being heated.
This is perfectly normal and does not jeopardize the operation of the appliance.
Before using the coffee machine for the first time, or if the appliance has been inoperative
for a lengthy period, it is recommended to dispense a cup of hot water first.
