key.

Grinding regulation

! Take care when rotating the knob that regulates grinding, which is located above the brewing unit. Do not put ground and/or freeze-dried coffee in the bean container.

! Do not put any material other than coffee beans in the container.

Switch off at the mains before carrying out any type of operation inside the machine.

The quality and flavour of coffee depend on the grinding level, as well as the blend used. The machine has a knob to regulate the coffee grinding.

To regulate the grinding, turn the knob one setting at a time. The figures indicate the fineness of the grind.

The manufacturer configures each appliance on an intermediate grinding

setting. If the grind is too fine, rotate the knob to a higher setting; if the grind is too coarse, turn the knob to a lower setting.

Regulating water hardness

Regulate the machine to the right degree of water hardness that you will use. According to this setting, the machine advises when it is necessary to run a descaling cycle.

Read the sections on “Water hardness” in “Programming” to regulate hardness.

The variation in grind will only be seen after one or two coffees have been brewed.

Use coffee bean blends for espresso machines. Try not to use high grinding settings (e.g. 1/10). Use different coffee blends for these settings. Keep the coffee in a fresh place in a sealed, airtight container.

Grinding must only be regulated if coffee is not brewed properly:

• if it is brewed too fast, this means that the grind is

too coarse; turn the knob to a lower setting;

• if it is brewed in drips and/or intermittently, this

means that the grind is too fine; turn the knob to a higher setting.

Brewing

Crema control

With this knob, you can regulate the amount of water pressure so that each cup is brewed to the right strenght and consistency, from a mild, American style

coffee, to a robust Italian espresso

! Regulation can even be done while the coffee is brewing.

Turn the knob to regulate. Rotate knob:

• left for crème café;

• to the center for espresso;

• right for a strong coffee.
