The time required for an espresso will range from 20-30 seconds.
• Press the unlocking levers available under the drip tray
and pull the machine as shown in the figure.
• Pull the coffee machine forward from itÊs housing by sliding
it along itÊs telescopic runners.
• Turning the knob will ad just the coffee texture.
Before adjusting, make a note of the original setting
so that the machine can be reset, if required, to the
factory settings. Turning the knob in the clockwise
direction will lead to a fine texture for a stronger
coffee. Turning the knob anti-clockwise will lead to a
coarse texture for a weaker coffee. The set grinding
level can be read on the lid of the coffee case: bigger
circles means „coarse‰ grinding level (fast-flowing
weak coffee), whereas smaller circles means „fine‰
grinding level (slow-flowing strong coffee).
15
• Push the machine back into the housing until a „click‰ can be

• The machine will stop automatically
CAUTION:
the desired function will be disabled if the start control is not pressed within 10 seconds. It will then be necessary to
repeat the procedure.
HOW TO OBTAIN AN EXCELLENT ESPRESSO
• The brewing time for an excellent espresso will be about 15 - 25 seconds. Elements affecting this
brewing time are the grinding level of the coffee and the quantity of ground coffee. If necessary, the grinding level, as
well as the quantity of ground coffee can be modified (refer to Chapters 8 & 9. Instructions for the first use of the
machine).
Useful advice: coffee is an hygroscopic element that is its quality and characteristics strictly depend on weather (humidity).
Coffee should be ground coarser if humidity in the air is very high, otherwise it will become thick and not flow freely; on the
contrary, the coffee should be ground finer in dry conditions.

19
Programming the amount of coffee
beans to be grinded
• This espresso machine has already been calibrated in factory to dispense the ideal measure of ground coffee for
one cup of espresso.
• However this quantity of ground coffee can be increased or reduced, then the selected measure is stored. The
programmable measure of ground coffee refers to both the espresso selection and to regular coffee selection.
• Put the machine on stand-by mode as described.
• Keep the start control pressed for 10 seconds.
• Some LEDS will flash, working as indicators, (the more are the LEDS illuminated the greater the quantity of coffee).
Before adjusting make a note of the original setting so that the machine can be reset to the factory settings if

• Once you have modified the coffee ground quantity, press the start control for 10 seconds and the machine will
automatically save the quantity desired and it will return to stand-by mode.
CAUTION:
the correct grinding time can change if a different kind of coffee is used.
If any unpressed coffee powder is found when emptying the „used‰ coffee drawer, it means that the grinding time is too
long and should be decreased.
The „exhaust‰ coffee pods in the „used‰ coffee drawer can help to achieve a correct regulation of the grinding-time.
The coffee pods must to be 1 cm in thickness: this is the correct coffee quantity.
If its thickness is lower, it means that the grinding time is too short and should be increased.
IMPORTANT:
increasing or decreasing the grinding time can change the coffee taste.
A stronger coffee taste and a rich aroma can be obtained by slightly increasing the programmed time.
A weaker coffee can be obtained by slightly decreasing the programmed time.
