0 Open the lid of the ground coffee filler,
and scoop in the fresh ground coffee
(Fig. 22).
Use only the supplied measuring
spoon. Never add more than 2 level
measured scoops, otherwise either the
appliance will not make the coffee, the
ground coffee will be dispersed inside
the appliance, dirtying it, or the coffee
will be delivered drop by drop and the
message «GROUND TOO FINE
ADJUST MILL
AND TURN KNOB» will be dis-
played.
Do not add ground coffee during the
brewing process. Only put in ground
coffee for the next cup when the
brewing process has completely fin-
ished and the coffee machine is ready.
Never add the ground coffee when the
appliance is off, as otherwise it will be
dispersed inside the appliance.
Use only ground coffee for fully auto-
1
mated espresso coffee makers. Do not
put coffee beans, any water-soluble or
freeze-dried instant products or any
other drink powder into the ground
coffee filler. Coffee powder which is
too fine can lead to blockages.
If the filler shaft is blocked (due to
3
moisture inside the appliance, or
because more than 2 measuring scoops
of pre-ground coffee have been used),
use a knife or a spoon handle to push
the coffee down (Fig. 23). Then remove
the brewing unit and clean it and the
appliance as described in the section
„Cleaning the brewing unit",
page 123".

Frothing milk

The steam can be used to froth milk and
to heat liquids. Since a higher tempera-
ture is needed to produce steam than to
make coffee, the coffee machine has an
additional steam mode.
To make a cappuccino, fill a large cup
3
1/2 to 2/3 full with espresso, and then
add the frothed milk.
Caution! Danger of scalding when the
1
steam nozzle is activated! Hot water or
steam output can cause scalding. Do
not activate the steam nozzle until it is
immersed in the milk.
0 To produce steam, press the "Steam"
key (Fig. 24).
The display shows «HEATING UP...»
in the upper line and in the lower line
an advancing progress bar with a per-
centage indication
«
When the heating process is finished,
the display shows «STEAM». The
machine is ready for the milk frothing.
If you do not perform any further
3
action within a few seconds after the
message «STEAM» is shown on the
display, the appliance will suggest the
next step, showing «STEAM» in the
upper line of the display and «TURN
KNOB FOR STEAM» in the lower
line.
3 If the steam function is not used for
longer than 2 minutes, the machine
switches back automatically to the
coffee mode.
