The appliance is ready for use.
Please note: We also recommend rinsing the internal circuits if the appliance is
not used for a long period.
The rst time you use the appliance, you need to make 4-5 cups
of coee before the appliance starts to give satisfactory results.
Pay particular attention to the quantity of pre-ground coee in
the lter ((C2) or (C3)) (see instructions in section "4.5 Adjusting
the quantity of ground coee in the lter").
Proceed as described in section "4. Prepare the perfect dose".
4. PREPARE THE PERFECT DOSE
4.1 Preparing the coee mill
1. Make sure the beans container is correctly inserted and
lined up to position "3" (g. 14) (default setting) ;
2. Remove the beans container lid (A1);
3. Place the required quantity of coee beans in the container
(g. 15);
4. Close the lid, pressing rmly.
5. The rst time you use the appliance, make sure the dial (B2)
is in the position (default setting).
4.2 Select the grinding level
The grinding level aects delivery speed and therefore the qual-
ity of the extract.
The rst time you use the appliance, we recommend using the
factory setting (medium grinding) (g. 14), then if you are not
satised with the result, adjust the level according to your per-
sonal taste and the type of coee by setting a ner or coarser
grinding level, referring to the tips in section "4.5 Adjusting the
quantity of ground coee in the lter".
Important:
• Always adjust the coee mill while in operation.
• Adjust one grinding level at a time and make at least 5 coees
before adjusting again.
• Do not remove the beans container while it contains beans.
4.3 The coee lters
The appliance is provided with two coee lters.
The 1 coee lter (C2) has the symbol marked on the
bottom.
The 2 coee lter (C3) has the symbol marked on the
bottom.
For the correct quantity of coee, the ideal level of pressed coee
is marked inside the lters (g. 16). If the quantity is above or
below the level indicated, the result may not be satisfactory. The
next times you use the coee mill, you can adjust the grinding
level using the dial (B2) (see section "4.5 Adjusting the quantity
of ground coee in the lter").
4.4 Grind the coee directly into the lter
1. Place the ground coee lter (C2) or (C3) in the lter holder
(C1) (g. 17);
2. Press the "X2" button if you are using the 2 coee lter;
3. Attach the lter holder to the outlet of the coee mill
(A22), aligning it with "INSERT", then turning it to the right
(g. 18). Grinding begins when the lter holder reaches the
CLOSE position and stops automatically;
Important: while the appliance is grinding coee, you can per-
form a rinse, or produce hot water or steam at the same time.
4. Once grinding is complete, the light (B16) ashes. Pull
the presser lever (A23) as far as it will go. The force exerted
on the coee is indicated on the lever itself ( )
(g. 19).
5. Remove the lter holder by turning it towards the left.
Important: to adjust the correct quantity ground automatically into the lter hold-
er, see section "4.5 Adjusting the quantity of ground coee in the lter".
If you remove the lter holder from the outlet of the coee mill
without pressing the coee, the light (B16) ashes. To
press, turn the dial (B2) to the position to disable the coee
mill, re-attach the lter holder and pull the lever (A23).
4.5 Adjusting the quantity of ground coee in
the lter
Important: The rst time you use the coee mill, leave the dial
in the position (min). It is normal for you to have to grind the
coee a number of times before nding the correct adjustment for
the right amount of coee.
24
Perfect dose Too much coee Too little coee
After grinding coee for the rst time, turn the dial (B2) gradu-
ally, starting from the “min” position (see following gure)
until you reach the correct quantity, depending on the type of
coee. The ideal position is within the sector shown in grey in
the following gure.
By adjusting this dial, you can adapt the mill to any type of coee
and to wear of the burrs over time.

Danger of burns
• To avoid splashes, never remove the lter holder while the
appliance is delivering coee. Wait for a few seconds after
delivery.
• If no coee is delivered, wait for about 1 minute before remov-
ing the lter holder. There could be a pu of steam caused by
the residual pressure inside the appliance.
5.3 Pressure gauge
The pressure gauge enables you to check that pressure is correct
while the coee is being delivered (g. 21).
While making Espresso coee, the indicator of the pressure
gauge will rotate within the optimal zone sector showing the
pressure used during brewing.
For more information, see section "16. How to make perfect
coee".
Important: the pressure gauge only operates while coee bev-
erages are being made. If you are preparing hot water " " or
using the steam function, the pressure gauge indicator does not
move.

9. HOW TO MAKE MILK-BASED BEVERAGES
1. Pour the quantity of milk you want to heat/froth into the
milk jug (C9), remembering that the volume of milk dou-
bles or triples in volume. For a denser more even froth,
you should ideally use skimmed or partially skimmed cow's
milk at refrigerator temperature (about 5°C).
2. Choose the position of the ring (A7) (g. 22) according to
the beverage to be prepared (see following table):
26
Recommended
position
Milk beverage to be
prepared
Hot milk (not frothed) /
Caelatte / Macchiato / Flat
White
Cappuccino, Espresso Mac-
chiato, Hot Milk (frothed)
3. Place the jug (C9) containing the milk under the cappuccino
maker (A8) (g. 23).
4. Immerse the cappuccino maker in the milk jug. Never im-
merse the black ring (g. 24).
5. Turn the dial to the position (g. 25). Steam to heat the
milk is delivered from the cappuccino maker. If the ring is
in the FOAM position, the steam gives the milk a creamy
frothy appearance (g. 26). To obtain a creamier froth,
immerse the cappuccino maker in the milk and rotate the
container with slow upward movements.
6. When the required temperature (the ideal is 60°C) and
froth density is reached, interrupt steam delivery by turn-
ing the dial to the ◯ position.

13.8 Cleaning the burrs
When cleaning the beans container, clean the container housing
and upper burr with a damp cloth. The burr can be removed and re-
placed when worn. Contact an authorised customer services centre.
You may also need to remove the burr if it becomes blocked with
foreign matter. If this occurs, clean as follows:
1. Empty the beans container (if necessary, using a vacuum
cleaner to remove any remaining beans).
2. Attach the lter holder and operate the mill without beans
to free the coee guide, then attach the lter holder to the
outlet of the coee mill (A22), lining it up with "INSERT",
then turning it to the right (g. 18). Grinding begins when
the lter holder reaches the CLOSE position and stops
automatically;
3. Turn the appliance o;
4. Remove the beans container as described in the previous
section "13.7 Cleaning the beans container".
5. Turn the neness selector anticlockwise as far as it will go
to the "REMOVE" position (g. 42).
