2 Press the TIMER ON button. The corresponding light comes on
(see fig. 9).
3 Thirty minutes before the programmed time (in our example
7.30), the appliance comes on automatically so it will be perfect-
ly preheated when you want to use it (after two hours it goes
off automatically). Important: for correct preheating, the filter
holder must be attached to the appliance.
4 NOTE: if you make coffee while the appliance is programmed to
come on automatically (TIMER ON light on fig. 9), it is normal
for the programmer to be deactivated (the TIMER ON light
goes off).
5 When you have finished making the coffee, remember to reacti-
vate the timer (press the TIMER ON button, the light comes on
(fig. 9).
6 To change the programmed time, make sure the TIMER ON
light is off then proceed as described in points 2 and 3.
How to prepare espresso coffee using the filter
holder for ground coffee
1. After preheating the appliance, the machine is ready to be used.
Insert the ground coffee filter with crema enhancer into the fil-
ter holder, making sure the tab is correctly inserted into the
housing as shown in fig. 10.
2. To prepare a single coffee, fill the filter with a level measure of
ground coffee, about 7 g (fig. 11).To prepare two coffees, use
the filter and fill with two loosely filled measures of ground cof-
fee (about 6+6 g). Fill the filter in small doses to prevent the
ground coffee from overflowing.
Note: Use good quality, finely-ground coffee for espresso coffee machines.
IMPORTANT: for correct operation, before adding ground
coffee to the filter holder, make sure the filter is free from
ground coffee from the previous infusion.
3. Distribute the ground coffee evenly and press it lightly with the
coffee tamper (fig. 12).
NOTE: Pressing the ground coffee is very important in order to
prepare a good coffee. However if you press too hard, coffee
will come out slowly and crema will be of a dark colour. If you
press too light, coffee will come out too fast and crema will be
a very light colour.
4. Remove any excess coffee from the rim of the filter holder.
Attach the filter holder to the machine by positioning the handle
to the left of the boiler outlet, then pushing upwards and turning
the handle to the right (as in preheating the machine fig. 5).
