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)

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.

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”.

18

Even if not full, the “EMPTY WASTE COFFEE CONTAINER” message is
displayed 72 hours after the first coee has been delivered. For the
72 hours to be calculated correctly, the machine must never be turned
o with the main switch in the “0” position.

To clean, open the service door on the front of the

appliance by pulling the spout (fig. 14).

Extract the drip tray (fig. 15) and clean it.

When cleaning, always extract the drip tray

completely.

Important: When extracting the drip tray, the

waste coee container MUST always be emptied,
even if it is not completely full. If this is not done,
when you make the next coees the container may
over-fill and the machine may be clogged.

Note 7: Never extract the water tank while the

machine is delivering coee. If it is removed, it will

not be possible to make the coee and the
appliance will display “GROUND TOO FINE ADJUST MILL AND
PRESS OK” and then “FILL TANK”.

It is then necessary to check the level of water in the tank and replace
it in the appliance.

To turn the machine back on again, press the “ok” button (B9),

19

“HOT WATER PRESS OK” is displayed. Press the “ok” button (B9)
within a few seconds and deliver water from the cappuccino maker
for about 30 seconds.

When delivery stops, the machine should be ready for use again.

Note: The coee maker may request the operation to be repeated a
number of times until the air is completely eliminated from the water
pipes.

Note: If this operation is not performed correctly or if the machine is
turned o, the basic modes may be displayed, although the problem
is in fact still present.

Changing the Quantity of Coee in the Cup

21

Adjusting the Coee Mill

The coee mill is preset in the factory and should not require
adjusting. However, if after making the first few coees you find that
delivery is either too fast or too slow (a drop at a time), this can be
corrected by adjusting the grinding adjustment knob (fig. 18).

Important: The grinding adjustment knob must only be turned when
the coee mill is in operation.

For slower delivery and creamier coee, turn one

click anticlockwise (finer coee grinding).

For faster delivery (not a drop at a time), turn one

click clockwise (coarser coee grinding).

22

Electrical Connection (UK Only)

If Your Appliance Comes Fitted With a Plug:

The plug will incorporate a 13 Amp fuse. If it does not fit your socket,
the plug should be cut o from the mains lead, and an appropriate
plug fitted, as below. WARNING: Very carefully dispose of the cut
o plug after removing the fuse, do not insert in a 13 Amp socket
elsewhere in the house as this could cause a shock hazard. If the
plug is a moulded-on type, the fuse cover must be re-fitted when
changing the fuse using a 13 Amp Asta approved fuse to BS 1362. In
the event of losing the fuse cover, the plug must NOT be used until a
replacement fuse cover can be obtained from your nearest electrical
dealer. The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that as
marked on the base of the plug.

If Your Appliance Is Not Fitted With a Plug:

Please follow the instructions provided below:

WARNING - THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
