MAKING COFFEE USING COFFEE BEANS
1. The appliance is preset to make coee with a standard
taste.
You can also choose coee with an extra-mild, mild, strong
or extra-strong taste.
To choose the required taste, press the button (C7)
(g. 7). The required coee taste is displayed.
2. Place 1 cup under the spouts to make 1 coee (g. 8) or 2
cups for 2 coees (g. 9).
Lower the spouts as near as possible to the cup for a cream-
ier coee (g. 10).
3. Press the button (C8) to make a short coee (g. 11),
the button (C9) for a standard coee and the but-
ton (C10) for a long coee. To make 2 coees, press the
button twice (within 2 seconds).
To change the quantity of coee the appliance delivers
automatically into the cup, proceed as described in the
following section.
(The appliance now grinds the beans and starts delivering
the coee into the cup. Once the set amount of coee has
been delivered, the machine stops delivery automatically
and expels the exhausted coee grounds into the grounds
container.
4. After a few seconds, the ready message is displayed again
and you can make another coee.
5. To turn the appliance o, turn the knob (C6) to the
right or left.
(Before going o, the appliance performs an automatic
rinse cycle (a little hot water ows from the spouts and is
collected in the drip tray beneath.

Take care to avoid scalds).
NOTE 1: If the coee is delivered a drop at a time or not at all,
turn the grinding adjustment knob (g. 12) one click clockwise
(see Adjusting the coee mill”).
Proceed one click at a time until coee delivery is satisfactory.
NOTE 2: If the coee is delivered too fast and the cream is not
satisfactory, turn the grinding adjustment knob (g. 12) one
click anticlockwise (see Adjusting the coee mill”).
Avoid turning the grinding adjustment knob excessively other-
wise when you select 2 cups, the coee may be delivered a drop
at a time.

short coee (less than 60 cc), rinse the cups with hot water
to preheat the cups.
If more than 2/3 minutes have passed since the last coee
was made, before requesting another coee, you must
preheat the infuser by pressing the button (C4) (g.
13).
Deliver the water into the underlying drip tray or alterna-
tively use this water to ll (and then empty) the cup to be
used for the coee, so as to preheat it.

NOTE 4: While the appliance is making coee, delivery can be
interrupted at any moment by pressing the previously selected
button, (C8), (C9) or (C10).
NOTE 5: As soon as delivery is nished, to increase the quantity
of coee in the cup, just hold down the previously selected cof-
fee button, (C8), (C9) or (C10), until the required
amount is reached (this must be done within 3 seconds after
completion of delivery).
NOTE 6: When the appliance displays “FILL TANK”, ll the tank
with water or the appliance will not deliver coee.
(It is normal for there to be a little water left in the tank when
the message is displayed).
NOTE 7: After about 14 single (or 7 double) coees, the appli-
ance displays “EMPTY GROUNDS CONTAINER”, indicating that
the grounds container is full and must be emptied and cleaned.
Until the grounds container has been cleaned, the appliance
continues to display the message and coee cannot be made.
Even if not full, the empty waste coee container message is
displayed 72 hours after the rst coee has been delivered. For
the 72 hours to be calculated correctly, the machine must never
be turned o with the main switch in the 0 position.
To clean, open the service door on the front of the appliance by
pulling the handle (g. 14), extract the drip tray (g. 15), empty
and clean.
When cleaning, always extract the drip tray completely to
avoid it falling when the grounds container is removed.
Empty the grounds container and clean thoroughly to remove
all residues left on the bottom.
Important! when removing the drip tray, the grounds
container MUST be emptied, even if it is not completely full. If
this is not done, when you make the next coees, the grounds
container may ll up more than expected and clog the machine.
NOTE 8: Never extract the water tank while the machine is de-
livering coee.
If it is removed, it will not be possible to make the coee and
the appliance will display “GROUND TOO FINE ADJUST MILL and
INSERT WATER SPOUT AND PRESS OK”.
To use the appliance again, insert the hot water spout (g. 4) if
not already in position, then press the OK button (C5) and deliv-
er water from the spout for a few seconds.

ADJUSTING THE COFFEE MILL
The coee mill is preset in the factory to make coee correctly
and should not require adjusting initially.
However, if after making the rst few coees you nd that de-
livery is either too fast or too slow (a drop at a time), this can be
corrected by adjusting the grinding adjustment knob (g. 12).
Turn one click clockwise (one number) for more rapid coee
delivery (not a drop at a time).
Turn one click anticlockwise for slower coee delivery and a
creamier coee. These adjustments will only be evident after at
least 2 cups of coee have been delivered.
The grinding adjustment knob must only be turned when the
coee mill is in operation.
For slower delivery and creamier coee, turn one click anticlock-
wise (ner pre-ground coee).
For faster delivery (not a drop at a time), turn one click clockwise
(coarser pre-ground coee).
(Coee has been used to factory test the appliance and it is
therefore completely normal for there to be traces of coee in
the mill. It is, however, guaranteed to be new.)

NOTE 1: Never introduce pre-ground coee when the machine is
o or it could spread through the inside of the appliance.
NOTE 2: Never add more than 1 level measure, otherwise either
the appliance will not make the coee and the pre-ground
coee will be dispersed inside the appliance, dirtying it, or the
coee will be delivered a drop at a time.
NOTE 3: Use the measure provided to add the right amount of
coee.
NOTE 4: Introduce only pre-ground coee for espresso coee
machines into the funnel. Never ll with coee beans, freeze
dried coee or other substance that could damage the appli-
ance.
NOTE 5: If more than one measure of pre-ground coee is used
and the funnel clogs, push the coee down with a knife (g. 18)
then remove and clean the infuser and machine as described in

Important! When removing the drip tray, the grounds
container must be emptied, even if it is not completely full. If
this is not done, when you make the next coees, the grounds
container may ll up more than expected and clog the machine.
Cleaning the drip tray
Important! If the drip tray is not emptied regular-
ly, the water could overow from the edge and seep inside or
around the coee maker. This could damage the appliance and
cabinet.
The drip tray is tted with a level indicator (red) showing the
level of water it contains (g. 31).
Before the indicator protrudes from the cup tray, the drip tray
must be emptied and cleaned.
To remove the tray:
1. Open the service door (A2) (g. 14).
2. Remove the drip tray (A11) and the grounds container (A4)
(g. 15).
3. Empty the drip tray and grounds container and wash them.
4. Replace the drip tray complete with grounds container.
5. Close the service door.
Cleaning the water tank
1. Clean the water tank (A9) regularly (about once a month)
with a damp cloth and a little mild washing up liquid.
2. Clean to remove all washing up liquid residues, then rinse
the water tank thoroughly.
Cleaning the spouts
1. Clean the coee spout nozzles (A10) periodically using a
sponge or cloth (g. 27).
2. Check regularly that the holes in the coee spout are not
blocked.
If necessary, remove coee deposits with a toothpick (g.
26).

Descaling
Important! Before descaling, make sure the water
softener lter has been removed.
Important! Descaler contains acids which may irri-
tate the skin and eyes. It is vital to respect the manufacturer’s
safety warnings given on the descaler pack and the warnings
relating to the procedure to follow in the event of contact with
the skin and eyes.
N:B:: Use the descaler recommended by the manufac-
turer only. Use of other descalers invalidates the guarantee.
Failure to descale the appliance as described also invalidates the
guarantee.
Over time, constant heating up of the water used to make the
coee leads to limescale building up in the inner circuits of the
appliance.
When “DESCALE” is displayed, the machine requires descaling.
Proceed as follows:

mended by Customer Services. Always follow the instruc-
tions on the pack.

Setting water hardness
The descale message is displayed after the appliance has been
operated for a factory set period of time calculated on the basis
of the maximum quantity of limescale which may be contained
in the water used.
The operating period can be extended if required, making des-
caling less frequent by programming the machine on the basis
of the real lime content in the water used.

DISPOSING OF THE APPLIANCE
In compliance with European directive 2002/96/EC, the appli-
ance must not be disposed of with household waste, but taken
to an authorised waste separation and recycling centre.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION UK ONLY
A) If your appliance comes tted with a plug, it will incorpo-
rate a 13 Amp fuse. If it does not t your socket, the plug
should be cut o from the mains lead, and an appropriate
plug tted, as below.
WARNING: Very carefully dispose of the cut o plug after
removing the fuse: do not insert in a 13 Amp socket else-
where in the house as this could cause a shock hazard.
With alternative plugs not incorporating a fuse, the circuit
must be protected by a 15 Amp fuse. If the plug is a mould-
ed-on type, the fuse cover must be re-tted when chang-
ing the fuse using a 13 Amp Asta approved fuse to BS 1362.
In the event of losing the fuse cover, the plug must NOT be
used until a replacement fuse cover can be obtained from
your nearest electrical dealer. The colour of the correct re-
placement fuse cover is that as marked on the base of the
plug.
B) If your appliance is not tted with a plug, please follow the
instructins provided below:
