PREPARING COFFEE
The machine is ready for use as soon as
the message
s e l e c t p r o d u c t
r e a d y f o r u s e
appears on
the display.
The coffee dispenser may be adjusted
to the desired height. This allows you to
use cups of various sizes and the
machine may be adapted to individual
needs. After use, set the dispenser back
in the original position.
Place one or two cups on the cup
rest grating (3) and press the button for
making the type of coffee preferred (18,
19, or 20).
5.1
Coffee grinder
Warning! The grinder
adjustment knob inside the
coffee container must be turned only
while the coffee grinder is operating.
Do not introduce ground and/or
freeze-dried coffee in the coffee bean
container.
It is strictly forbidden to intro-
duce any material other than
coffee beans. Inside the coffee grinder
there are moving parts that may be
dangerous; do not place your fingers
29
and/or other objects inside the grinder.
Before performing any kind of
operation inside the coffee container,
switch off the machine and unplug it.
Do not introduce coffee beans while
the grinder is operating.
The quality and flavor of your
coffee will depend not only on
the blend you use but also on how
finely you grind it. The machine has a
knob (11) for adjusting the grind. To
adjust the grind, turn the graduated
knob while the grinder is operating;
the numbers on the knob indicated
the fineness of the grind. Every
machine is factory-regulated to a
medium-sized grind; turn the knob to
lower numbers to obtain a coarser
grind, turn the knob to higher
numbers to obtain a finer grind. The
variation in the fineness of the grind
will be noted only after three or four
coffees have been dispensed.
Use blends of coffee beans for
espresso machines. Avoid using
extreme grinding settings (e.g. 1 16);
in these cases use different blends of
coffee. Store coffee in an airtight
container in a cool, dry place.
You should adjust the fineness of the grind
when the coffee is not dispensed properly:
Coffee pours out too fast = excessively
coarse grind > set knob on a finer grind;
Coffee drips out slowly and/or not at all
= excessively fine grind > set knob on
coarser grind.
5.2
Dose adjustment
The machine allows you to adjust the
amount of coffee (dose) to be ground
according to your requirements. The
manufacturer has set a standard dose that
satisfies most needs: notch (A)
corresponding to the point of reference (B).
