Customising the "my coffee" quantity

The appliance is set by default to automatically deliver 30 ml of
"MY COFFEE". To modify this quantity, proceed as follows:
1. Place a cup under the coffee spouts (fig. 12).
2. Turn the selection dial (fig. 8) until "MY COFFEE" is
displayed.
3. Keep the button (fig. 9) pressed until the message
"1 MY COFFEE Program quantity" is displayed and coffee
delivery begins. Release the button.
4. As soon as the coffee in the cup reaches the required level,
press the button (fig. 9) again.
The quantity of coffee in the cup set has now been
programmed.

Adjusting the coffee mill

The coffee mill is set by default to prepare coffee 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 dial (fig. 10).
Please note:
The grinding adjustment dial must only be turned 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 anticlockwise
towards "1" (do not turn more than
one click at a time otherwise the
coffee could be delivered a drop at a
time). These adjustments will only be evident after at least 2
cups of coffee have been delivered. If this adjustment does not
obtain the desired result, turn the dial another click.

Tips for a hotter coffee

For hotter coffee, you should:
• before delivering the coffee, perform a rinse cycle by
pressing the button. Hot water is delivered from the
spout, heating the internal circuits of the appliance and
thus raising the coffee temperature;
• warm the cups by rinsing them with hot water (using the
hot water function);
• select the " high" coffee temperature in the menu.

Making coffee using coffee beans

Please note:
Various alarm messages could be displayed while using
the machine (FILL TANK, EMPTY GROUNDS CONTAINER,
etc.). Their meaning is explained in the section "Displayed

For hotter coffee, see the section "Tips for a hotter coffee"
(page 12).
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 20.
Important!
Never add pre-ground coffee
when the machine is off or it
could spread through the inside
of the machine and dirty it. This
could damage the appliance.
Never use more than one level measure or it could dirty
the inside of the machine or block the funnel.
Please note:
If you use pre-ground coffee, you can only make one cup
of coffee at a time.
