starting up for the first time, or if

the machine has been inoperative for

a lengthy period or the water container

whenever

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

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).

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.
