Recommendations

Test
If the machine has not been used for a pro-
longed period, it is advisable for hygienic
reasons to run a rinse cycle through the ma-
chine.
Place a cup under the dispensing tube (7) and
operate the steam/hot water (9) knob. Fill a cup
with water.
Preheating cups
Cups may be preheated by placing them on the
heating plate.
Temperature led
When connecting the machine, the display
shows
"WARMING UP...... "
As soon as the operating temperature has been
reached, the display shows
"SELECT PRODUCT
"READY FOR USE
"
" Empty coffee bean container
warning light
"COF BEANS EMPTY
"READY FOR USE
When this led is on, the coffee grinder stops. Fill
the container with coffee beans and restart the
cycle.
Empty water tank warning light
"FILL WATERTANK

automatically. Fill the tank with water and restart
the cycle.
Grounds container warning light
"DREGDRAWER FULL
"READY FOR USE
This message appears on the display as soon
as there are 30 coffee grounds in the container.
The machine though does not stop. Remove the
grounds container and empty it.
Grind
If the coffee flows too quickly (coarse grind) or
too slowly (fine grind) into the cup, adjust the
coffee grinder:
Recommended grind level: position 5
Grind too coarse = adjust to a lower value (for
instance from 5 to 3)
20
Grind too fine = adjust to a higher value (for
instance from 5 to 7).
"
"
Adjust the grind level only when the coffee
grinder is running.
Avoid extreme adjustment (for instance, on
position 1) whenever possible. It is preferable to
try another coffee blend, because not all coffee
blends are suitable.
"
"
Coffee
Make sure coffee is fresh. An espresso roast is
preferable.
In order to obtain a strong and aromatic es-
presso coffee, use special blends suitable for
espresso coffee machines and special cups
with thick sides.
"
Keep coffee in a cool place, in an hermetically
sealed container.
Water quality
In addition to blend, grind and water tempera-
ture, the water quality is of the utmost impor-
tance for the brewing of a good coffee. Thus,
"
the use of a decalcifier to remove limescale and
"
eliminate any unpleasant taste and organic
impurities from water, is strongly recommended.
Furthermore a water decalcifier partially elimi-
nates limescale from water, thus protecting the
machine heating system from chemical buildup
and prolonging its working life.
The water tank must be emptied daily and filled
with fresh water.
Operation time
The machine may be kept on all day long.
However, it is advisable to activate the energy
saving mode after the last use. Press the Energy
saving switch. If the timer has been programmed,
the machine switches on automatically. See

BREWING

page 18.
Should the machine not be used for a pro-
longed period (e.g. during the night) it is
advisable to switch the main switch (4) off.
Switching off the machine
Switch the machine off only after the coffee
cycle has been concluded.
Brewing
Cup level filling
This machine allows the precise dosage of the
coffee quantity according to the cup dimension.
By means of the 3 selection keys the
desired coffee quantity can be chosen. The
display shows the selected quantity.
Cup level adjustment
To set the quantity of coffee to be dispensed,
press the selection key corresponding to the
right quantity and keep it pressed while the
coffee is dispensed into the cup. Release the key
only when the right level has been reached
(max. 250 ml approx.). As soon as the dosage
programming mode gets activated, the display
shows:
"1 SMALL COFFEE
"PROGR. QUANTITY
Warning! If activated, the pre-brewing function
will be performed.
Double quantity of coffee
i.e. 2 cups of coffee
If one of the three selection keys (no matter
which one) is pressed twice before coffee
brewing, the machine will brew a double
quantity of coffee.
