HOW TO PREPARE COFFEE
When the base is plugged into the mains, the
electronic control unit emits a beep. When three
flashing lines appear on the display, the time can
be set or coffee can be made immediately.
1) Make sure the coffee maker is cold, then
unscrew by holding the boiler with one hand
and turning the jug anticlockwise with the other
(fig. 1).
2) Remove the funnel filter and, to prepare a full
coffee maker, fill the boiler with fresh water up
to the safety valve (visible inside the boiler),
without exceeding it (Fig. 2).
To prepare half the coffee maker, fill the boiler
with water up to the circular mark under the
safety valve (fig. 3 - X).
TIP: use soft fresh water. Salty or hard water will
weaken the flavour.
IMPORTANT: do not use the coffee maker
without water in the boiler. Do not use hot
water to speed up coffee making.
3) Insert the funnel filter in the boiler (fig. 4). To
prepare half the coffee maker, insert the adapter disc (G) in the funnel filter (fig. 5).
4) Fill the funnel filter with ground coffee, without
pressing down (fig. 6). Fill it a little at a time to
avoid the ground coffee overflowing.
5) Distribute the ground coffee uniformly and
remove any excess coffee from the edge of the
filter.
IMPORTANT: Use good quality, mediumground coffee, for moka coffee makers. Do
not use to make barley coffee.
6) Tighten the coffee maker firmly but without
exaggerating, holding the boiler with one
hand and turning the jug clockwise with the
other, without pushing on the handle.
IMPORTANT: to avoid dangerous splashes of
boiling water, never use the coffee maker
unless the disk filter (D) is correctly in position.
7) Rest the coffee maker on the base (Fig. 7).
Close the lid.

•Coffee delivery will begin after a few minutes.
• When all the coffee has been delivered, the
word "END" appears on the display accom-
panied by three beeps. The light goes

To remove the word "END", press any button
and wait for a few minutes for the current time to
be displayed again.

This function enables the time the appliance starts
up to be programmed automatically, for example,
in the evening for the following morning. Proceed
