from ≃20 to ≃180
SHORT
≃40
STANDARD
≃60
LONG
≃90
EXTRA LONG COFFEE
≃120
Page 13
12
Customising the “my coee” quantity
The appliance is set by default to automatically deliver 30 ml of
“MY COFFEE”.
To modify this quantity, proceed as follows:
1. Place a cup under the coee spouts (g. 12).
2. Press the button (g. 12) until “MY COFFEE” is
displayed.
3. Keep the button (g. 16) pressed until the message

delivery begins. Release the button.
4. As soon as the coee in the cup reaches the required level,
press the button (g. 16) again.
The quantity of coee in the cup set has now been programmed.
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 adjusting
the grinding adjustment dial (g. 13).
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).
These adjustments will only be evident after at least 2 cups of
coee have been delivered.
If this adjustment does not obtain the desired result, turn the
dial another click.
Tips for a hotter coee
For hotter coee, you should:
• perform a rinse cycle, selecting the “Rinsing” function in
the settings menu (page 10).
• warm the cups by rinsing them with hot water (using the
hot water function);
• increase the coee temperature in the settings menu
(page 11).
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 container with coee beans (g. 14).
2. Place under the coee spouts:
- 1 cup, if you want to make 1 coee (g. 12);
- 2 cups if you want 2 coees (g. 15).
3. Lower the spout as near as possible to the cups (g. 15).
This makes a creamier coee.
4. Press the button corresponding to the number of coees
required (1 cup or 2 cups ).
5. Preparation begins. The amount of coee selected is displayed 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 (within 3 seconds) one of the coee buttons ( or ) (g. 16).
Once the coee has been made, the appliance is ready to make
the next drink.
Please note!
• Various alarm messages could be displayed while using
the machine (FILL TANK, EMPTY GROUNDS CONTAINER,
etc.). Their meaning is explained in the section “Displayed
messages” (page 20).
• For hotter coee, see the section “Tips for a hotter coee”
(page 12).
• If the coee is delivered a drop at a time, too weak and
not creamy enough or too cold, read the tips in the “Troubleshooting” section on page (page 20).
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 appliance.

coee at a time.
1. Press the button (g. 10) repeatedly until “Preground” is displayed.
Page 14
13
2. Open the pre-ground coee funnel lid.
3. Make sure the funnel is not blocked, then add one level
measure of pre-ground coee (g. 17).
4. Place a cup under the coee spouts.
5. Press the 1 cup button .
6. Preparation begins. The amount of coee selected is displayed together with a progress bar which gradually lls
as preparation progresses.
Please note!

FROTHED
Danger of burns!
During preparation, steam is given o. Take care to avoid scalds.
1. When preparing cappuccino, make the coee in a large
cup;
2. Fill a container (preferably one with a handle to avoid scalding) with about 100 grams of milk for each cappuccino.
In choosing the size of the container, bear in mind that the
milk doubles or triples in volume;
Please note :
For a richer denser froth, use skimmed or partially skim-
med milk at refrigerator temperature (about 5°C). To avoid
milk with poor froth or large bubbles, always clean the
cappuccino maker as described in the section “Cleaning the
cappuccino maker after use”.
3. Make sure the cappuccino/hot milk ring is positioned

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION UK ONLY
Before using this appliance ensure that the voltage indicated on the product corresponds with the main voltage in your home, if you
are in any doubt about your supply contact your local electricity company.
The exible mains lead is supplied connected to a B.S. 1363 fused plug having a fuse of 13 amp capacity.
Should this plug not t the socket outlets in your home, it should be cut o and replaced with a suitable plug, following the procedure outlined below.
Note: Such a plug cannot be used for any other appliance and should therefore be properly disposed of and not left where children
might nd it and plug it into a supply socket - with the obvious consequent danger.
Please note: We recommend the use of good quality plugs and wall sockets that can be switched o when the machine is not in
use.
IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead tted to this appliance are coloured in accordance with the following code:
GREEN AND YELLOW EARTH
BLUE NEUTRAL
BROWN LIVE
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
- The wire which is coloured green and yellow must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or
by the earth symbol or coloured green or green and yellow.
- The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
- The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.
When wiring the plug, ensure that all strands of wire are securely retained in each terminal. Do not forget to tighten the mains
lead clamp on the plug. If your electricity supply point has only two pin socket outlets, or if you are in doubt, consult a qualied
electrician.
Should the mains lead ever require replacement, it is essential that this operation be carried out by a qualied electrician and should
only be replaced with a exible cord of the same size.
After replacement of a fuse in the plug, the fuse cover must be retted. If the fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be used until a
replacement cover is obtained. The colour of the correct replacement fuse cover is that of the coloured insert in the base of the fuse
recess or elsewhere on the plug. Always state this colour when ordering a replacement fuse cover.
Only 13amp replacement fuses which are asta approved to B.S. 1362 should be tted.
This appliance conforms to the Norms EN 55014 regarding the suppression of radio interference.
