3. SETTING UP THE APPLIANCE
Please note:
• The rst time you use the appliance, rinse with hot water
all removable accessories which may come into contact
with water or milk.
• The rst time you use the machine, the water circuit is
empty and the appliance could be very noisy. The noise
becomes less as the circuit lls.
• Possible traces of coee in the mill are the result of operating tests performed on the appliance before sale, proof
of the meticulous care and attention we invest in our
products.

MY COFFEE Programmable:
from ≃20 to ≃180
10
SHORT
STANDARD
LONG
EXTRA LONG
≃40
≃60
≃90
≃120
8.3 Customising the "my coee" quantity
The machine is set by default to automatically deliver 30ml of
"my coee". To modify this quantity, proceed as follows:

press the button (g. 10) again.
The quantity of coee in the cup has now been programmed.
8.4 Adjusting the coee mill
The coee mill is set by default to prepare coee correctly and
should not require regulating initially.
However, if after making the rst few coees you nd that the
coee is either too weak and not creamy enough or delivery is
too slow (a drop at a time), this can be corrected by calibrating
the coee grinding using the adjusting dial (A2) (g. 11).
Please note:
The grinding adjustment dial must only be turned when the
coee mill is in operation.
If the coee is delivered too slowly or
not at all, turn one click clockwise towards 7.
For fuller bodied creamier coee, turn
one click anticlockwise towards 1 (do
not turn more than one click at a time
otherwise the coee could be delivered a drop at a time).
The eect of the adjustment will be noticed only after making
a further 2 cups of coee, at least. If this adjustment does not
produce the desired result, turn the dial another click.
8.5 Tips for a hotter coee
For hotter coee, proceed as follows:
• perform a rinse cycle before delivery by pressing the
button (B5), as described in section “8. making coee”;
• warm the cups with hot water using the hot water function
(see section “10. Hot water”);
• select the "high" coee temperature in the menu (see sec-
tion “6.8 Setting the temperature”).
8.6 Making coee using coee beans
Important!
Do not use caramelised or candied coee beans as they could
stick to the coee mill and make it unusable.
1. Fill the beans container (A7) (g. 12) with coee beans;
2. Place under the coee spouts (A14):
- 1 cup if you want 1 coee (g. 9);
- 2 cups, if you want 2 coees.
3. Lower the spouts as near as possible to the cup. This makes
a creamier coee (g. 13);
4. Press the button corresponding to the number of coees
required (1 cup B7 or 2 cups B8) (gs. 10 and
14)
5. Preparation begins. The amount of coee selected appears
on the display (B1) together with a progress bar which
gradually lls as preparation progresses.
Please note:
• While the machine is making coee, delivery can be interrupted at any moment by pressing any button.
• At the end of delivery, to increase the quantity of coee in
the cup, just press and hold (within 3 seconds) one of the
coee buttons ( or ).
Once the coee has been made, the appliance is ready to make
the next beverage.
Please note:
• Various alarm messages could be displayed while using
the appliance (FILL TANK, EMPTY GROUNDS CONTAINER,
ETC.). Their meaning is explained in section “16. Displayed
messages”.
• For hotter coee, see section “8.5 Tips for a hotter coee”.
• If the coee is delivered a drop at a time, too weak and not
creamy enough or too cold, read the tips in section “17.
Troubleshooting”.
8.7 Making coee using pre-ground coee
Important!
• Never add pre-ground coee when the machine is o or it
could spread through the inside of the machine and dirty
it. This could damage the machine.
• Never use more than 1 level
measure (C2) or it could dirty the
inside of the coee machine or
block the funnel (A6).
Please note:
When using pre-ground coee, only one cup can be made at a
time.
1. Press the button (B6) (g. 8) until "Pre-ground"
appears on the display (B1).
11
2. Make sure the funnel is not blocked, then add one level
measure of pre-ground coee (g. 15).
3. Place a cup under the coee spouts (A14, g. 9).
4. Press the 1 cup coee button (B7)(g. 10).
5. Preparation begins. The amount of coee selected appears
on the display together with a progress bar which gradually lls as preparation progresses.
Please note:

Please note:
• For a denser more even froth, you must use skimmed or
partially skimmed milk at refrigerator temperature (about
5°C).
• If "Energy Saving" mode is enabled, you may have to wait a
few seconds before the rst cappuccino is delivered.
3. Make sure the milk intake tube (D4) is correctly inserted in
the bottom of the milk container lid (g. 18);
4. Place the lid back on the milk container;
5. Remove the hot water spout (C6) from the connection nozzle (A13) (g. 19);
