Removing and replacing the filter

After rwo months (see date indicator) or when the appliance has not been used for 3 weeks, you should remove the filter and replace with a new one, proceeding as described at the previous paragraph.

MAKING COFFEE

Selecting the coffee taste

Turn the coffee taste selection dial (B6) to set the required taste. Turning it clockwise increases the quantity of coffee beans the appliance will grind and, therefore, the strength of the coffee obtained.

Turn the dial to MIN for an extra mild coffee and to MAX for an extra strong coffee.

Adjusting the coffee mill

The coffee mill is preset in the factory to make coffee correctly and should not require adjusting initially.

However, if after making the first few coffees you find that the coffee is too thin and not creamy enough or that delivery is too slow (a drop at a time), this can be corrected by adjusting the grinding adjustment dial (fig. 13).

Please note :

The grinding adjustment dial must only be turned when the coffee mill is in operation.

If the coffee is delivered too slowly or not at all, turn one click clockwise. For fuller bodied creamier coffee, turn one click anticlockwise (do not turn more than one click at a time otherwise the coffee could be delivered a drop at a time).

These adjustments will only be evident after at least 2 cups of coffee have been delivered.

If this adjustment does not obtain the desired result, turn the dial another click.

Setting the temperature

To modify the temperature of the water used to make the coffee, proceed as follows:

1. With the appliance off and the main switch in the I position (fig. 3), press thebutton and hold it down until the lights on the control panel come on.
2. Press the button to select the required temperature:

3. Press the button to confirm the selection. The lights go off.

Tips for a hotter coffee

For a hotter coffee, before delivery you are recommended to:

• rinse the appliance through by pressing the button. Hot water flows out of the coffee spouts and heats the internal circuit of the machine so that the coffee delivered will be hotter.
• warm the cups with hot water (using the hot water function);
• set a hotter coffee temperature (see section “Setting the temperature”).

Making coffee using coffee beans

Important!

Do not use caramelized or candied coffee beans as they could stick to the coffee mill and damage it.

1. Fill the container with coffee beans (fig. 14).
2. Place under the coffee spouts:
   • 1 cup if you want one coffee (fig. 15);
   • 2 cups if you want 2 coffees (fig. 16).
3. Lower the spouts as near as possible to the cup. This makes a creamier coffee (fig. 17).
4. Press the button corresponding to the number of coffees required

5. Preparation begins and the light corresponding to the selected button flashes on the control panel.

Once the coffee has been made, the appliance is ready for use again.

Making coffee using pre-ground coffee

Important!

• Never place coffee beans in the pre-ground coffee funnel as this could damage the appliance.
• Never add pre-ground coffee when the machine is off or it could spread through the inside of the machine and dirty it. This could damage the appliance.
• Never use more than 1 level measure or it could dirty the inside of the coffee maker or block the funnel.

Please note :

When using pre-ground coffee, you can only make one cup of coffee at a time.

1. Make sure the appliance is on.
2. Turn the coffee taste selection dial anticlockwise as far as it will go to the position (fig. 18).
3. Make sure the funnel is not blocked, then add one level measure of pre-ground coffee (fig. 19).
4. Place a cup under the coffee spouts.
5. Press the 1 cup coffee button
6. Preparation begins.

Cleaning the cappuccino maker after use

Clean the cappuccino maker after use to avoid the build-up of milk residues or blockages.

1. Place a container under the cappuccino maker and deliver a little water for a few seconds by rotating the steam dial to the I position (fig. 5). Then turn the steam dial to the 0 position to stop the flow of hot water.
2. Wait a few minutes for the cappuccino maker to cool down. Grip the handle of the cappuccino maker tube firmly in one hand and with the other rotate the cappuccino maker anticlockwise (fig. 21), then remove by pulling downwards.
3. Also remove the steam nozzle by pulling it downwards (fig. 22).
4. Make sure the two holes shown by the arrow in fig. 23 are not blocked. If necessary, clean with a pin.
5. Wash all parts of the cappuccino maker thoroughly with a sponge and warm water.
6. Replace the nozzle and put the cappuccino maker back on the nozzle, pushing it and turning it upwards until it is attached.

HEATING WATER

Danger of burns!

Never leave the machine unsupervised while delivering hot water. Stop delivery of hot water as described below when the cup is full. The hot water spout becomes hot while water is being delivered and must be handled by the handle only.
