Dear Customer,

Please read these operating instruc­tions through carefully. Above all,
observe the safety instructions! Please
keep these operating instructions for
later reference, and pass them on to
any subsequent owners of the appli­ance.

Your fully coffee machine has func­tions that guarantee you

•easy operation, when preparing coffee
plus simple maintenance and care.
Information in the display will guide
you step by step through the proce­dure.
The excellent, individual taste is
achieved by

• the pre-brewing system: prior to the
actual brewing process, the ground
coffee is moistened to extract its full
aroma,

• the individually adjustable amount of
water per cup that can be varied
between a small espresso and a large
coffee with crema,

• the individually adjustable coffee tem­perature at which the coffee is brewed,

• the facility to choose between normal
or strong coffee,

• the grinding texture that can be
adjusted to suit the roasting of the
beans,

• and last but not least, through the
guaranteed crema, that small crown of
froth that makes an espresso incompa­rable for connoisseurs.
Incidentally: the time for which the
water is in contact with the ground
coffee is considerably shorter for
espressos than for conventional filter
coffee. As a result, less bitterness is
released from the coffee; it is this that
makes espresso coffee so much pleas­anter!
