coffee grinder has already been pre-set in the factory for the correct
delivery of the espresso / coffee.
Figure 3
2. If after making the first espresso / coffee the delivery it too fast or too
slow (in drops), the grinding coarseness must be adjusted using the coffee
grinder dial (Figure 3) located inside the bean container.
3. Turning one click (one number) clockwise achieves faster delivery of the
espresso / coffee and a coarser ground coffee.
4. Turning one click (one number) counter-clockwise achieves slower
delivery of the espresso / coffee and a finer ground coffee (and makes the
coffee creamier in appearance).
5. These adjustments will only be evident after the delivery of at least 2 cups
of espresso / coffee.
6. The coffee grinder dial must only be turned when the coffee grinder is on.

11.3 Filling the Ground Coffee Container
(If you are using pre-
ground coffee)
• Never add the pre-ground coffee when the machine is off.
• Never add more than 1 full measure of pre-ground coffee. The ground
coffee funnel will get blocked.
• When dosing the quantity of pre-ground coffee to be added, only use the
measuring scoop provided.
• Use only pre-ground coffee specifically for use in espresso machines. Do not
use whole coffee beans, freeze-dried coffee or other materials that may
damage the machine.
• Never use instant coffee. It could severely damage the brewing system.
Tip: Before filling the ground coffee container, make sure to remove any
Figure 5
foreign objects.
7. Open the ground coffee container lid (located in the center of the
machine). To prepare one espresso / coffee and add just one level
measure of pre-ground coffee with measuring scoop (provided). (Figure 4)
8. Note: You can only make one espresso / coffee at a time when using
pre-ground coffee.

(Figure 6)
11. Turn the steam control dial half a turn counter-clockwise (Figure 7).
Note: It is normal for the machine to make some noise.

the cup is 1/3 full, turn the steam control dial half a turn clockwise (Figure 8) to terminate the flow
of water.
13. Wait for the and lights to stop flashing. When the lights are flashing, the machine is still
pre-heating.
14. The machine will automatically perform a rinse cycle and a little hot water will release from the
coffee spouts and collect in the drip tray.
15. Once the lights illuminate steadily, the machine has reached the ideal temperature for making
espresso/coffee and is now ready for use.
16. Note: Before preparing the espresso/coffee, always make sure that the green and
lights are on steadily.
