THE COFFEE GRINDER (FIG.10)

Caution! Only turn the grinding control
knob, found inside the coffee bean

container (Fig.10), when the coffee grinder
is working. Do not insert ground and/or
instant coffee in the coffee bean container.
Do not insert anything other than coffee
beans in the container. The coffee grinder
contains dangerous moving parts; keep
fingers and/or other objects away. Before
carrying out any operations in the coffee
bean container, switch OFF the ON/OFF
switch (7) and remove the plug from the
wall outlet. Do not insert coffee beans when
the coffee grinder is working.

The quality and the taste of your coffee depend,
in addition to the used blend, also on the
grinding coarseness.
The appliance comes with a grinding adjusting
knob (Fig.10). To use this feature, turn the
graduated knob when the coffee grinder is
working; the numbers displayed on the knob
indicate the grinding coarseness.
The manufacturer sets the knob to an average
grinding coarseness in the factory: if the ground
coffee is too fine, turn the knob toward the higher
values; if the ground coffee is too coarse, turn
the knob toward the lower values.
You will note the change only after pouring
three /four coffees.
Use coffee beans for espresso coffee makers.
Avoid using limit grinding positions (e.g. 1 and
16); if this is necessary, try using different coffee
blends.

Store the coffee in a cool and dry place, in an
airtight container.
You should change the grinding position if the
coffee does not outflow optimally, specifically:
Too fast = grinding too coarse > grind coffee
finer;
Too slow (drips and/or no flow) = grinding too
fine > grind coffee coarser.

ADJUSTING THE COFFEE
DOSE (FIG.11)

You may select the quantity of coffee (dose) that

you wish to grind. The manufacturer sets an
average dose in the factory.

To change the ground coffee dose, simply turn
the knob (Fig.11) found inside the coffee
container. Turn it anticlockwise to increase the
dose and clockwise to decrease the dose.

You must adjust the dose before pressing the
coffee dispenser button.

This system allows you to obtain an optimal cup
of coffee with all types of marketed coffee.

THE COFFEE DISPENSER

Note: If the appliance does not di-
spense coffee, check the water level

in the tank.

• Before making coffee, make sure that the

green temperature-ready LEDs (23) and
(24) are lit and emit a fixed light and that
the water tank and the coffee container are
full.

• Place 1 or 2 coffee cups under the coffee

dispenser spouts; you can adjust the
height of the dispenser by moving it up or
down manually (Fig.12) until it suits your
cups.

7.1 Making coffee with coffee beans

• To dispense the coffee, press the correct

coffee button (23) or (24). The selected
button starts flashing (see chap.15), while the
other switches off.
To make 1 coffee, position a single coffee
cup under the coffee dispenser spouts and
press the button (23) or (24) only once; to
make 2 coffees, position two coffee cups
under the spouts and press the button (23)
or (24) twice.
In this operating mode, the appliance
automatically grinds and doses the right
quantity of coffee; making two coffees
requires two grinding and dispensing cycles,
which are automatically managed by the
machine.

• Then, the dispensing cycle starts.
• After carrying out the prebrewing cycle, coffee

will start to come out of the spout (Fig.01,
pos.13).
The coffee will stop flowing automatically when
the preset level is reached (see par.7.3). You
can interrupt the flow of coffee by pressing
the button (Fig.01, pos.23 or 24).

7.2 Making coffee with ground coffee

In this operating mode, you must use
the supplied measuring spoon

(Fig.01, pos.21) to dose the ground coffee.

Only use ground coffee suitable for
espresso coffee makers in the doser

(5); placing coffee beans, instant coffee and
other materials inside the doser causes
damage to the appliance.

Keep fingers away from the ground
coffee doser since there are moving

parts.

Use the supplied measuring spoon (21) to
measure the right quantity of ground coffee to
place in the doser.
Use only one filled measuring spoon at a time;
to make two coffees, you must go through the
entire process twice.
• Press the button (22) to select the function;

the LED lights up.

• Lift the cover of the ground coffee doser

(Fig.13).

• Fill the measuring spoon with one coffee dose;

discard any excess quantity of ground coffee.

• Fill the doser with the ground coffee (Fig.14)
• Close the cover of the ground coffee

doser.

• To make the coffee, press the desired coffee

button (23) or (24); the selected button starts
flashing (see chapter 15), while the other
switches off.

• The dispensing cycle begins.
• After carrying out the prebrewing cycle, coffee

will start to come out of the spout (13).

• The coffee will stop flowing automatically when

the preset level is reached (see par. 7.3).
You can interrupt the flow of coffee by pressing
the button (23) or (24).

• Then the machine automatically returns to the

normal operating mode (see para. 7.1).

7.3 Adjusting the quantity of coffee per

cup

Your coffee maker has been programmed to
make 2 types of coffee: espresso coffee with the
button (23) and weak coffee with the button (24).
To adjust the programmed values to the size of
your cups, place the cup under the coffee
dispenser (13), press the button of the desired
type of coffee (23) or (24) and keep it pressed.
Wait for the machine to fill the cup up to the
desired level and, then, release the button.

Note: keep the button (23) or (24)
pressed during the entire coffee

dispensing process.

In this way, the appliance is programmed to
supply the quantity of coffee you selected.

MAKING HOT WATER

Caution: splashing may occur at the
start – scalding hazard! The hot water

nozzle and pipe can reach high temperatures:
avoid touching directly with your hands.

• Before dispensing hot water, make sure that

the green temperature-ready LEDs (23 and
24) emit a fixed light.
Proceed as follows when the appliance is ready
to dispense hot water:

• Place a cup and/or pitcher under the steam/

hot water nozzle (Fig.15).

• Turn the knob anticlockwise as shown in Fig.15.
• When you have obtained the desired quantity

of hot water, turn the knob clockwise to shut
off the flow. The appliance resets itself so that
it is ready for normal operation.
