Using the Appliance for the First Time

Notes:

Coee has been used to factory test the appliance and it is therefore
completely normal for there to be traces of coee in the mill.
Connect the appliance to the mains supply.

Switch the appliance on using the ON/Standby

button (A7).

To Set the Required Language:

Press the Settings Menu button (B2).

Use the “+” & “-“ buttons (B7 and B8) to choose

the required language (fig. 2).

1

2

12

To select English language:

When the message “PRESS OK TO CHOOSE

ENGLISH” is displayed, press the “ok” button (B9)
(fig. 3) for 3 seconds until “ENGLISH INSTALLED” is
displayed.

Options for alternative languages are displayed in

the menu in those specific languages.

Approximately 5 seconds after first switching on

the coee machine, it displays the message “FILL
TANK”.

Extract the water tank (fig. 4), rinse and fill with fresh

water, without exceeding the MAX line.

Replace and push it in as far as it will go.

Note: When the message “FILL TANK” is displayed

the coee machine will lock and not respond to any
buttons. The machine automatically unlocks when
the tank is filled and replaced in position.

Place a cup under the cappuccino maker (fig. 5).

The appliance displays: “HOT WATER PRESS OK”.

Press the “ok” button (B9) (fig. 3) and after a few seconds a little
water comes out of the cappuccino nozzle and a little rinsing water is
ejected from the coee nozzles.

3

13

The machine then displays “TURNING OFF...

PLEASE WAIT” and switches o.

Extract the appliance by pulling it out using the

handles (fig. 6).

Open the lid and fill the container with coee

beans, then close the lid and push the appliance
back into place.

The coee maker is now ready for normal use.

Notes:

When using the appliance for the first time, you need to make 4-5
cups of coee and 4-5 cappuccinos before the appliance gives
satisfactory results.

Important: Never introduce pre-ground coee, freeze dried coee,
caramelised beans or anything else which could damage the
appliance into the bean container.

Important: Always switch o using the ON/Standby button (A7)
before either switching o the ON/OFF switch (A23) or disconnecting
the electrical power supply. This allows it to perform a SELF­DIAGNOSIS cycle and rinse the coee spouts prior to switching o.
To turn it on again, press the ON/Standby button (A7) (fig. 1).

14

Adjust the water hardness setting as soon as possible after
installation, see instructions in the “Setting Water Hardness” section
(page 35).

Turning On and Heating Up

Each time the appliance is turned on, it performs an automatic preheat
and rinse cycle which cannot be interrupted. The appliance is ready
for use only after completion of this cycle.

Danger of Scalding: During rinsing, a little hot water flows from the
coee spouts.

To turn the appliance on, press the ON/OFF/Stand-By button (A7) (fig.

1), the message “HEATING UP... PLEASE WAIT” is displayed.

When heating is complete, the message changes to “RINSING” and
hot water is rinsed through the coee spouts.

The message “MEDIUM CUP NORMAL TASTE” is displayed when the
coee machine has reached normal operating temperature.

If no button is pressed within approx. 2 minutes, the time is displayed,
if set (see the “Setting The Clock” section). If the time has not been
set, the appliance displays the last functions set.

When any button is pressed, “MEDIUM CUP NORMAL TASTE” is
displayed and the appliance is ready to make coee again.

15

Making Coee Using Whole Coee
Beans

The appliance is preset to make coee with “normal” strength. You
can also choose coee with an “extra-mild”, “mild”, “strong” or “extra­strong” flavour. There is also a pre-ground coee option.

To choose the required Strength, press the coee

strength button (B4) (fig. 7) several times to scroll
through the options.

The current coee strength setting is displayed.

Place 1 cup under the spouts to make 1 coee (fig. 8), or 2 cups for 2
coees (fig. 9).

Lower the spouts as near as possible to the cup(s) for a creamier
coee (fig. 10).

7

16

The appliance is preset to make coees of varying sizes. You can
choose between “espresso”, “small cup”, “medium cup”, “large cup” or
“mug”.

Press the cup size button (B5) (fig. 11) several times

to scroll through the options.

The current cup size setting is displayed.

Press the single cup button (B10) (fig.12) if you want

to make a single coee or the double cup button
(B11) (fig.13) if you want to make 2 coees.

The appliance now grinds the beans and starts

delivering the coee into the cup.

Once the set amount of coee has been delivered,

the machine stops delivery automatically and
expels the exhausted waste coee into the waste
coee container.

After a few seconds, the appliance is ready for use

again.

11

17

To turn the appliance o, press the ON/Stand-By button (A7) (fig. 1).
Before switching o, the appliance performs an automatic rinse cycle
(Take care to avoid scalds).

Note 1: If the coee is delivered a drop at a time or not at all, see the
“Adjusting the Coee Mill” section.

Note 2: If the coee is delivered too fast and the cream is not
satisfactory, see the “Adjusting the Coee Mill” section.

Note 3: Tips for a hotter coee:
Proceed as described in the section “Changing And Setting Menu
Parameters”, “Rinse” function.

Unless preheated, do not use excessively thick cups as they will
absorb too much heat.

Preheat the cups by rinsing them with hot water.

Note 4: Coee delivery can be interrupted at any moment by re­pressing the previously selected button, which remains lit during the
operation.

Note 5: When the appliance displays “FILL TANK”, fill the tank with
water or the appliance will not deliver coee (It is normal for there to
be a little water left in the tank).

Note 6: After about 14 single (or 7 double) coees, the appliance
displays “EMPTY WASTE COFFEE CONTAINER”.
