THE COFFEE GRINDER (FIG.10)
Caution! Only turn the grinder
control knob, found inside the coffee
bean container (Fig .10), when the coffee
grinder is working and in increments of 2
settings at a time only. Do not insert
ground and/or instant coffee in the coffee
bean container.
Do not insert anything other than coffee
beans in the container. The coffee grinder
contains dangerous moving parts; keep
fingers and/or other objects away.
Before carrying out any operations in the
coffee bean container, switch OFF the ON/
OFF switch (7) and remove the plug from
the wall outlet. Do not insert coffee beans
when the coffee grinder is working. Do
not use frozen beans.
The quality and the taste of your coffee depend
not only on the blend you use, but also on the
grinder setting.
The appliance comes with a grinder
adjustment knob (Fig.10). To use this feature,
turn the graduated knob when the coffee
grinder is working and in increments of 2. The
numbers displayed on the knob indicate the
grinder setting. The manufacturer sets the knob
to an average grinder setting at the factory: if
the ground coffee is too fine, turn the knob
toward the higher numbers; if the ground
coffee is too coarse, turn the knob toward the
lower numbers.
You will notice the change only after brewing
three /four cups of coffee.
Use coffee beans for espresso coffee makers.
Avoid using extreme grinder positions (e.g. 1
and 16); if this is necessary, try using different
coffee blends.
Store the coffee in a cool and dry place, in an
airtight container.
You should change the grinder position if the
coffee does not flow optimally, specifically:
Too fast = grinding too coarse > grind coffee
finer (smaller setting);
Too slow (drips and/or no flow) = grinding too
fine > grind coffee coarser (higher setting).

ADJUSTING THE COFFEE
DOSE (FIG.11)
You may select the quantity of coffee beans
(dose) that you wish to grind per cup. The
manufacturer sets an average dose at the factory.
To change the coffee dose, simply turn the knob
(Fig. 11) found inside the coffee bean container.
Turn it counterclockwise to increase the dose
(t) and clockwise to decrease the dose
(towards -). The - = 6g and + = 9 g.
You must adjust the dose before pressing the
desired coffee button.
This system allows you to obtain an optimal cup
of coffee with all types of marketed coffee.

THE COFFEE DISPENSER
Note: If the appliance does not di-
spense coffee, check the water level
in the tank.
• Before making coffee, make sure that the
green temperature-ready LEDs (23) and (24)
are on steady and that the water tank and the
coffee bean container are full.
• Place 1 or 2 coffee cups under the coffee
dispenser spouts; you can adjust the height of
the dispenser by moving it up or down manually
(Fig.12) to adjust the spouts to your cups.
7.1 Making coffee with coffee beans
• To dispense the coffee, press the desired
coffee button (23) or (24). The selected
button starts flashing (see chap.15), while the
other switches off.
• To make 1 cup of coffee, position a single cup
under the coffee dispenser spouts and press
the button (23) or (24) only once; to make 2
cups of coffee or a double shot, position one
or two cups under the spouts and press the
button (23) or (24) twice in rapid succession.
• In this operating mode, the appliance
automatically grinds and doses the right
quantity of coffee; going through two grinding
and dispensing cycles automatically and
