OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
5 PREPARING COFFEE (USING COFFEE BEANS)
1) Before preparing the coffee, always make sure that the green
and
lights are steady and the water tank and coffee bean contain-
er are full.
2) Adjust the coffee flavor dial (Fig. 7) to set the desired taste of the coffee.
Turning the knob clockwise increases the quantity of coffee beans that
the machine will grind, and thus makes the taste of the coffee stronger.
When using the machine for the first time, the correct position of the
knob can be found by trial and error. Make sure not to turn it too far
clockwise, otherwise the coffee will be delivered too slowly (in drips), in
particular when preparing two cups of coffee.
3) Adjust the coffee quantity selector dial (Fig. 8) to set the quantity of
coffee required. Turning the knob clockwise makes a longer coffee.
When using the machine for the first time, the correct position of the
knob can be found by trial and error.
4) Place one cup under the coffee spout to make 1 coffee (Fig. 9) or 2
cups for 2 coffees (Fig. 10). For a creamy coffee, lower the coffee
spout to bring them as close to the cups as possible (Fig. 11).
5) Press the button (Fig. 12) to make one cup of coffee or the
button (Fig. 13) to make 2 coffees. At this point the machine grinds
the beans, runs a short pre-infusion cycle, a pause and then com-
pletes the delivery.
Once the desired quantity has been reached, the machine automati-
cally stops delivering the coffee and discharges the grounds into the
coffee grounds container.
6) After a few seconds, when both the green and indicator lights
are steady, another coffee can be made.
7) To switch the machine off, press the button. (Before switching off, the
machine automatically runs a rinse cycle: a little hot water runs out of the
spout and is collected in the drip tray underneath - be careful, to avoid
scalds ). If the machine is not switched off using the button, it will switch
itself off and run a brief rinse cycle 3 hours after the last operation.

NOTE 1: If the coffee is delivered a drop at a time or not at all, turn the grind-
ing coarseness regulator (fig. 17) one click clockwise (see section 6). Turn a
click at a time until the coffee is delivered satisfactorily.
NOTE 2:
If the coffee is delivered too fast and is not creamy enough, turn the cof-
fee flavor dial (fig. 7) clockwise. Proceed by trial and error to find the correct posi-
tion of the dial. Make sure not to turn the dial too far clockwise, otherwise the
delivery may become too slow (in drops), in particular when making two cups of
coffee. If, after several coffees, the cream is still not satisfactory, also turn the grind-
ing coarseness regulator (Fig. 17) one click counter-clockwise (see section 6).
NOTE 3: Tips on making hotter coffee:
1)
If, when the machine has just been turned on, a short cup of coffee is required
(less than 2 oz), use the hot rinsing water to pre-heat the cups (see suggestion in
section 4.3, point 5). If, on the other hand, more than 2-3 minutes have elapsed
since the last coffee was made, before preparing another coffee the infuser must
be pre-heated, pressing the button
(Fig. 14).
