Step 1-grinding
Step 2-tamping
Step 3-brewing
1. Add beans to beans con-
tainer (A1) Fresh is best; ll
in just with the quantity
you need.
2. Check that the ground se-
lector (A3) is set to 9 (fac-
tory setting).
3. Select 1-cup (C2) or 2-cups
(C3) coee lter and place
in the portalter (C1).
Step 1-grinding
Step 2-tamping
Step 3-brewing
4. Set the dose level by adjust-
ing the coee dose dial (B1)
starting from number “1”
on the led module indicator
(B18) (“1” corresponds to
the min. position).
5. Attach the portalter to the
outlet of the coee grinder
(A19), aligning it
with the
lower arrow, then turn the
handle to the right until it is
aligned in the “CLOSE” posi-
tion ( ).
3.1 Adjust dose
Each variety of coee beans can behave diferently during grinding and this is the reason why setting the dose at the beginning might
require extra care.
With this illustration we give you some indications on how to regulate the dose. Please note these suggested setting ranges, based on
the roasting level, are certainly a good starting point, but they might slightly vary depending on specic composition of your coee
beans.
1. Set the dose turning the “coee dose dial” (B1) starting from the minimum position (number “1” on the “led module process”
(B18)).
2. Look at which roasting level your coee is and based on that, turn the dial slowly, referencing the ranges.

The numbers displayed on the
indicator (B18) are a setting
reference once the right level
of coee in the portalter is
reached. They do not corre-
spond to grinder settings or to
measurement units (gr/oz) or
to grinding time.
Refer to”3.1 Adjust dose” for
suggestions.
6. When using the 1-cup lter (C2)
or (C4), press the “X1” button
(B2). When using the 2-cups
lter (C3) or (C5), press the 2x
button (B3): this will also dou-
ble the quantity of espresso cof-
fee delivered. The grinding step
begins and stops automatically.

3.3 Rinsing before preparing drinks
At every use of the machine is strongly recommended to run a hot rinse to purge the shower with the dedicated button (B6).
In addition, when preparing a cold drink after a hot drink and viceversa the results in cup could not be at the ideal temperature: it is
therefore recommended, before brewing, to run an additional rinse.

Preparing several drinks in succession:
• Every time a milk-based drink has been prepared, the “Milk clean light” (B11) turns on to indicate that the carafe has to be
cleaned (Clean function). Proceed with cleaning of the carafe after the nal preparation.
After multiple preparations, the milk container is empty or the milk that remains is not enough to make further drinks
• Having carried out the cleaning step (“Clean” function), disassemble the milk carafe and clean all components, proceeding as
described in section “8.3 Thorough cleaning of Lattecrema”
After multiple preparations, there is enough milk left in the container to make further drinks
• Having carried out the cleaning step (“Clean” function), remove the milk carafe and put it straight in the refrigerator. The carafe
containing milk can be kept in the refrigerator no more than 2 days, after which time all components should be cleaned as
described in the section “8.3 Thorough cleaning of Lattecrema”.
Important:
If the milk carafe is left out of the refrigerator for more than 30 minutes, disassemble and clean all components, proceeding as de-
scribed in the section “8.3 Thorough cleaning of Lattecrema”.
Following preparation of milk-based drinks — general notes:
• If the milk carafe is not cleaned, the “Milk clean light” (B11) stays on as a reminder that cleaning is required. To start the func-
tion, see “Cleaning Lattecrema after every use”
• In certain cases, the machine will need to heat up before cleaning can take place.
• Wait until the Clean function has nished, to ensure it is completed correctly. The function is automatic. It must not be stopped
while in progress.
Please note: For perfect cleaning, we recommend Eco MultiClean: it ensures hygiene by removing milk proteins and fats and can be
used to clean the whole machine.
• Double dose milk drinks: Fill the milk container with a sucient quantity of milk, not exceeding the MAX level marked on the
container (D8). Each mark on the side of the container corresponds to about 100 ml/ 3.38 oz of milk.
• Using fresh cold full cream milk will achieve the best results.

Ecient grinding
The burrs are subject to wear over time. This means that with continuous and regular use, the dial (B1) will need to be turned toward
the higher numbers in order to obtain the perfect dose. Once a setting of between 30 and 40 has been reached, the extra grinding
range becomes necessary (see section “9. Menu settings” - “Extra grinding adjustment”).
When the quantity of ground coee becomes less than expected, contact a service centre to have the burrs replaced. With the new
burrs tted, adjust the coee grinder by accessing the settings menu and selecting the rst range of the extra grinding adjustment.
Now turn the quantity adjustment dial (B1) to the Min position and set the quantity as for rst-time use (see “3.2 Achieve perfect
dose”).
11.8 Replacing the burrs
When the quantity of coee becomes even less, contact a customer services centre to have the burrs replaced, then adjust the grinder
again as follows entering the setting menu (“9. Menu settings”) and selecting the rst range of the “Extra grinding adjustment”.
Then turn the ground coee quantity dial (B1) to minimum position and set the dose like a rst use (see “3.2 Achieve perfect dose”).
