COFFEE BREWING

Before brewing coff ee, make 
sure that the green tempe-

rature light “ “ is steady on and that 
the water tank and the coff ee hopper 
are full.

Leave the control dial on the 
coff ee position 

“ ”

 during the 

dispensing phase.  

•  Place 1 or 2 cups under the dispensing 

spout.

•  To brew coff ee, press and release:

the 

“

“ button for an espresso coff ee; 

 the 

“

“ button for a long coff ee.

•  To dispense 1 cup of coff ee, press the 

button once. To dispense 2 cups of coff ee, 
press the button twice.

In this operating mode, the 
machine automatically grin-

ds and doses the correct amount of 
coff ee. Brewing two coff ees requires 
two grinding cycles and two brewing 
cycles, automatically carried out by 
the machine; this option is indicated 
by the 

“

“

 light being constantly on.

•  After the prebrewing cycle, coff ee begins 

to dispense out of the dispensing spout.

•  Coffee brewing stops automatically 

when the pre-programmed level is rea-
ched; however, it is possible to interrupt 
coff ee brewing by pressing the button 
initially pressed.

The machine is adjusted to 
brew a true Italian espresso 

coffee. This feature may slightly 
lengthen the brewing time, allowing 
the intense flavor of the coffee to 
develop fully.

DISPENSING HOT WATER

Warning: Dispensing may be 
preceded by short sprays of 

hot water, and scalding is possible. 
The hot water/steam wand may reach 
high temperatures. Do not touch it 
with bare hands; use the appropriate 
handle only.

•  Before dispensing hot water, check 

that the green temperature “ “ light 
is steady on.

When the machine is ready, proceed as 
follows:
•  Place a container under the hot water / 

steam wand (Pannarello, if supplied);  

•  Turn the control dial clockwise to set it 

to the “

” position.

•  Fill the cup with hot water to the desi-

red level; to stop hot water dispensing, 
turn control dial counter-clockwise 
back to the  “ ” position. The machine 
returns to the normal operating mode.

Occasionally, after turning 
the control dial, hot water 

may not be dispensed and the  “ “ 
light may blink slowly. To obtain a 
fl ow of hot water, simply wait until 
the “ “ light stops blinking and re-
mains steady.
