1. IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following.
• Read all instructions carefully.
• Make sure the voltage of your electrical system corresponds to the voltage shown on the bottom of the
machine.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
• To protect against re, electrical shock and personal injury, do not immerse cord, plug or appliance in
water or other liquid.
• Keep the appliance out of the reach of children and do not leave appliance unattended while in operation.
• Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning.
• Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged
in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair or
adjustment.
• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may result in re, electrical
shock, or personal injury.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Make sure the power cord does not hang over the edge of the table or counter-top to avoid getting acci-
dentally caught or entangled.
•
Do not place the appliance or its electrical parts on or near electric stoves, cooking surfaces, or gas burners.
• Plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, rst turn machine “o”, then remove plug from wall outlet.
• Do not use the appliance for other than the intended use. This appliance is to be utilized for domestic
use only. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage caused by improper, incorrect, or
irresponsible use.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of re or electric shock, do not remove the cover or the exterior of
the unit. Don’t attempt to repair or modify the machine, doing so will void the warranty. Repair
should be done by authorized service personnel only!
1.1 SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
1.2 Short cord instructions
- A short power cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a
longer cord.
- Longer, detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exer-
cised in their use.
- If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating
of the appliance. If the appliance is provided with 3- wire, grounding type cord, the extension should be
a GROUNDING TYPE 3 - WIRE CORD. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
counter-top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
- Your product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider
than the other). This plug will t into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are
unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to t,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
plug.

MY COFFEE
Programmable:
from
≃0,68/20 to
≃6,09/180
SHORT
≃1,35/40
STANDARD
≃2,03/60
LONG
≃3,04/90
EXTRA LONG
≃4,06/120
8.3 Customising the “my coee” quantity
The appliance is set by default to automatically deliver 30 ml of
“MY COFFEE”. To modify this quantity, proceed as follows:
1. Place a cup under the coee spouts (A7 - g. 12).
2. Press the button (B5 - g. 11) until “MY COFFEE”
is displayed.
3. Keep the button (B11) (g. 16) pressed until the
message “1 MY COFFEE Program quantity” is displayed and
coee delivery begins. Release the button;
4. As soon as the coee in the cup reaches the required level,
press the button again.
The quantity of coee in the cup has now been programmed.
8.4 Adjusting the coee mill
The coee mill is set by default to prepare coee correctly and
should not require regulating initially.
However, if after making the rst few coees you nd that the
coee is either too weak and not creamy enough or delivery is
too slow (a drop at a time), this can be corrected by adjusting
the grinding adjustment dial (A5 - g. 13).
Please note!
The grinding adjustment dial must only be turned when the
coee mill is in operation.
13
If the coee is delivered too slowly or
not at all, turn one click clockwise to-
wards “7”.
For fuller bodied creamier coee, turn
one click anticlockwise towards “1” (do
not turn more than one click at a time
otherwise the coee could be delivered
a drop at a time).
These adjustments will only be evident after at least 2 cups of
coee have been delivered. If this adjustment does not obtain
the desired result, turn the dial another click.
8.5 Tips for a hotter coee
For hotter coee, you should:
• perform a rinse cycle by selecting the “Rinse” function in
the settings menu (see section “7.1 Rinsing”);
• warm the cups with hot water (using the hot water
function);
• set a hotter coee temperature in the settings menu (see
section “7.9 Set temperature”).
8.6 Making coee using coee beans
Important!
Do not use caramelised or candied coee beans as they could
stick to the coee mill and make it unusable.
1. Fill the container (A3 - g. 14) with coee beans;
2. Place under the coee spouts (A7):
- 1 cup, if you want to make 1 coee (g. 12);
- 2 cups, if you want 2 coees (g. 15);
3. Lower the spouts as near as possible to the cup (g. 15).
This makes a creamier coee;
4. Press the button corresponding to the number of coees
required ( B11 for one cup, or for two cups)
(g. 16);
5. Preparation begins. The amount of coee selected appears
on the display (B4) together with a progress bar which
gradually lls as preparation progresses.
Please note:
• While the machine is making coee, delivery can be inter-
rupted at any moment by pressing any button.
• At the end of delivery, to increase the quantity of coee in
the cup, just press (within 3 seconds) one of the coee but-
tons ( or ).
Once the coee has been made, the appliance is ready to make
the next drink.
Please note!
• Various alarm messages could be displayed while using
the machine (FILL TANK, EMPTY GROUNDS CONTAINER,
etc.). Their meaning is explained in section “16. DISPLAYED
MESSAGES”.
• For hotter coee, see section “8.5 Tips for a hotter coee”.
• If the coee is delivered a drop at a time, too weak and not
creamy enough or too cold, read the tips in section “17.
TROUBLESHOOTING”.
