Selecting the quantity of coffee in the cup

Select the required quantity of coffee by turning
the knob.
Turning it clockwise increases the amount of cof-
fee obtained.
The first time you use the appliance, you will
need to make a number of coffees to identify the
correct knob position through trial and error.

Adjusting the coffee mill

The coffee mill is set by default to prepare cof-
fee correctly and should not require regulating
initially.
However, if after making the first few coffees you
find that the coffee 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 knob (fig. 7).
Please note:
The grinding adjustment knob must only be tur-
ned when the coffee mill is in operation.
If the coffee is delivered too
slowly or not at all, turn one
click clockwise towards "7".
For fuller bodied creamier
coffee, turn one click anti-
clockwise towards "1" (do
not turn more than one click
at a time otherwise the cof-
fee could be delivered a drop
at a time).
These adjustments will only be evident after at
least 2 cups of coffee have been made.
If this adjustment does not obtain the desired
result, turn the knob another click.

Tips for a hotter coffee:

For hotter coffee, you should:
• before delivering the coffee, perform a rinse
cycle by pressing the

nal circuits of the appliance and thus raising
the coffee temperature.
• warm the cups by rinsing them with hot wa-
ter (using the hot water function).

Making coffee using coffee beans

Important!
Do not use caramelised or candied coffee beans
as they could stick to the coffee mill and make it
unusable.
1. Fill the container with coffee beans (fig. 8).
2. Place under the coffee spouts:
- 1 cup, if you want 1 coffee (fig. 9);
- 2 cups, if you want 2 coffees.
3. Lower the spouts as near as possible to the
cup. This makes a creamier coffee (fig. 10).
4. Press the button corresponding to the num-
ber of coffees required (1 cup
, fig. 11 and 12).
5. Preparation begins and the
lights flash.
Please note:
• While the machine is making coffee, delivery
can be interrupted at any moment by pres-
sing one of the two coffee buttons (
).
• At the end of delivery, to increase the quan-
tity of coffee in the cup, just press (within 3
seconds) one of the coffee buttons (
).
Once the coffee has been made, the appliance is
ready to use again.
Please note:
For hotter coffee, see the section "Tips for a hot-
ter coffee".
Important!
If the coffee 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
19.

Making coffee using pre-ground coffee

Important!
• Never add pre-ground coffee when the ma-
chine is off or it could spread through the
inside of the machine and dirty it. This could
