6. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
6.1 PREMISE
This machine is capable of producing very precise doses, since it bases itself on the time of
the grind. It is however necessary to fine tune the machine before starting to work, above
all deciding the blend of coffee (lighter or darker roast) and the grade of grind. You then
proceed to programming the time of grind for each dosage, weighing the ground product.
• Carry out the electrical connections during the installation process.
• After connecting to the electrical outlet, close the flap (9) (see Fig. 1) at the base of the
whole bean coffee container (2).
• Remove the lid (3) from the container (2) and fill with whole bean coffee.
• Bring the switch (4) to the “ON” position. The red led on the switch itself will come on.
• Open the flap (9).
• Place the portafilter bowl on the fork (7) (see Fig. 4) and push it forwards until it comes into
contact with the microswitch (6) to pour out the ground coffee through the nozzle (8) (see
Fig. 5).
WARNING
Keep the portafilter bowl on the rods (7) to prevent the nozzle (8) from becoming
clogged.

6.2 REGULATION OF THE GRIND
To adjust grinding fineness, it is necessary to use the knob (10) (see fig. 3), turning it clockwise for finer grinding or anti-clockwise for a coarser grind. This adjustment does not have
any stop points and each turn of the knob corresponds to a movement of 0.4 mm of the
grinders. The adjustment is carried out freely and, at every turn of the knob, the grinders
move of approximately 0.4 mm.
Grinding fineness is factory set, with the grinders first adjusted so that they touch each
other (0) and then moving the grinders so that they are at a distance to provide an average
grinding fineness for espresso coffee. Grinders with re-settable adjustment knob can be
set to zero at an established grinding point by holding the top part of the knob in position
and using the ring nut on the base of the knob itself. Caution: grinding fineness adjustment
needs to be performed gradually, grinding a little coffee each time that the knob is turned by
two numbers (notches). The machine may seize up if the knob is moved by one turn while
the motor is switched off.
6.3 PROGRAMMING OF THE MACHINE
The first time you turn on the machine, it will be on the mode programmed
at the factory. Every time you turn on the machine it will set itself to the last
settings prior to disconnecting.
6.3.1 OPERATION
At switch-on, at the end of the lamp-test, after showing the software release of the control
unit, the display will show the last dose poured.
The top line of the display will read DOSE X (with X being the number of the selected dose
and this varies from 1 to 3) while the line underneath shows the time, in seconds, set for the
selected dose.
DOSE X
1.35 sec
To change the dose, press the key and the top line of the display will show the new
selected dose, while the bottom line shows the relevant setting.
DOSE 1
1.00 sec
To change the setting for the selected dose quickly it is possible to use the increase and
decrease
keys.
At this point it is possible to operate in two ways:
1. Change the dose using the
DOSE key and passing on to the next dose. Any change to
the dose will be saved;
2. Start a pouring operation. If there has been any change to the dose, this will be saved.
To start pouring, it is necessary to insert the portafilter: the bottom line will show the amount
of time passing.

DOSE 1
0.80 sec
In the case that splitting has been deactivated (see the following paragraph), the pouring
operation will continue until its end, with or without the portafilter.
6.3.2 DOSE SPLITTING
This function is enabled or disabled from a page in the menu.
Doses can be split so as to be able to stop dosing and to resume it as required, at a later
moment. This function is controlled by whether or not the portafilter cup is present. If the
function is enabled and the portafilter is inserted, then the dosing will proceed according to
the selected mode; if not it is interrupted.
Once dosing has been suspended, the user can choose one of two things:
1. To continue dosing by re-inserting the portafilter cup until the end of the set time (or interrupting it again);
2. To end dosing by pressing one of the three buttons.
While dosing is paused, the LEDs of the three buttons will flash to show that it is possible to
interrupt dosing with any of the three buttons.
6.3.3 DOSE PROGRAMMING
As well as by using the method described above, it is also possible to edit dose values by
entering the dose programming mode. To do this, without the portafilter inserted, it is neces-
sary to press the buttons
and at the same time. The top line of the display will read
PROGRAMMING X (where X is the selected dose being edited) while the second line shows
the dose setting in seconds.
PROGRAMMAZIONE X
1.35 sec
To edit the value of the dose, it is necessary to use the increase or decrease . buttons. To
quit, saving any changes made, press the
button.
6.3.4 SETTINGS MENU

7. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Unplug the appliance from power supply before carrying out any cleaning and maintenance intervention and leave the hot parts to cool down (see chapter “WARNINGS
AND SAFETY”).
WARNING
Wait for the cooling of the hot parts before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance.
WARNING
Do not pull on the electric cable nor the machine itself, to remove the plug from the
electrical outlet.
7.1 CLEANING
At least once a week it is necessary to remove the coffee bean container (2) which simply
rests on the machine body (1). This is to remove the oily layer left by the coffee beans using
a clean cloth.
WARNING
Before removing the container (2) always remember to close the tab (9), otherwise it
will not come away.
If this operation is not performed, there is a risk that the grease will become rancid, with
negative effects on the flavour of subsequent cups of coffee.
For the cleaning of the base use a damp cloth.
WARNING
To clean the nozzle (8) from any coffee blockage, use a vacuum cleaner and a small
brush, taking great care not to fold or bend the PET flap. This flap is extremely flexible, but a sharp fold could prevent it from functioning properly to the point that it
needs to be replaced.
7.2 MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Unplug the appliance from power supply before carrying out any cleaning and maintenance intervention and leave the hot parts to cool down (see chapter “WARNINGS
AND SAFETY”).
