5 TURNING ON AND PREHEATING
1. Press the button (fig. 6). The appliance displays:
HEATING UP PLEASE WAIT...
to indicate preheating is underway.
2. Once preheating is completed, the appliance displays
RINSING PLEASE WAIT...
and performs an automatic rinse cycle (a little hot water runs from the spouts and is collected in the drip
tray below).
Tip: If you want a short coffee (less than 2 oz), to make it hotter, fill the cup with this hot rinsing water first.
Leave it for a few seconds then empty it to preheat the cup.
3. The appliance now displays the ready message:
READY Regular TASTE
6 PREPARING COFFEE (USING COFFEE BEANS) AND USEFUL TIPS
1. The appliance is preset to make coffee with a regular taste. You can also choose coffee with a mild, extra-
mild, strong or extra-strong taste. To choose the required taste, press the OK button (fig. 1). The
selected coffee taste will be displayed.
2. Place 1 cup under the spouts to make 1 short coffee (fig.7) or 2 cups for 2 short coffees (fig.8). For a creami-
er coffee, lower the spouts to bring them as close to the cups as possible (fig. 9).
3. Press one of the coffee buttons (fig. 10): the button to make a short coffee or the button for a long
coffee. To make 2 coffees, press the two short coffees button or the two long coffees button .
To change the quantity of coffee delivered automatically into the cup, follow the instructions in sec-
tion 7.
(The appliance now grinds the beans and starts brewing the coffee into the cup. Once the desired quanti-
ty has been reached, the appliance automatically stops delivering the coffee and ejects the grounds into
the coffee grounds container.)
4. After a few seconds, the ready message is displayed again and you can make another coffee.
5. To turn the appliance off, press the button.
(Before going off, the appliance performs an automatic rinse cycle: a little hot water runs out from the
spouts and is collected in the drip tray beneath. Take care to avoid scalds).
NOTE 1: If the coffee is delivered a drop at a time or not at all, turn the grinding coarseness regulator (fig.11) one
click toward the number 7 (see section 8).
Turn one click at a time until the coffee is delivered adequately.
NOTE 2: If the coffee is delivered too fast and is not creamy enough, , turn the grinding coarseness regulator (fig.
11) one click toward the number 1 (see section 8). Avoid turning the grinding coarseness regulator excessive-
ly; otherwise when you select 2 cups, the coffee may run out in drips. Mill should only be adjusted while run-
ning to prevent jamming.
NOTE 3: Tips to make hotter coffee:
•
When you turn the appliance on, if you want to make a short coffee (less than 2 oz.), use the hot rinse-
through water to preheat the cups.
• If more than 2-3 minutes have passed since you last made coffee, before making coffee again you must pre-
heat the infuser by pressing the button (fig.12).
• Run off the water into the underlying drip tray or alternatively use this water to fill (and then empty) the
cup to be used for the coffee, so as to preheat it.
• Unless preheated, do not use cups that are too thick, as they will absorb too much heat.
• Use cups that have been preheated by rinsing them with hot water or by leaving them for at least 20 min-
utes on the cup warmer tray on top of the appliance with the appliance on.
NOTE 4: While the appliance is making the coffee, delivery can be stopped at any time by pressing the cof-
fee button previously selected (fig.10).
