NOTE 1:

Never add the ground coffee when the appliance is off to avoid it being dispersed inside the

ADJUST GRINDER AND OPEN STEAM" will be displayed.

NOTE 3

: When measuring the quantity of coffee to be added, use the measuring scoop supplied only.

other materials that could damage the appliance.

NOTE 5

coffee has been used, use a plastic knife to push the coffee down (Fig. 18), then remove and clean the infu-
