Please note:
A few seconds may elapse between energy saving mode and delivery of the first coffee as the appliance must heat up again.

MAKING COFFEE

Selecting the coffee taste

Turn the coffee taste selection knob (B9) to select the required taste. Turning it clockwise increases the quantity of coffee beans the appliance will grind and therefore the strength of the coffee obtained.

Please note:

• 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.
• Make sure not to turn the knob too far clockwise, otherwise the coffee may be delivered too slowly (a drop at a time), particularly when making two cups of coffee.

Selecting the quantity of coffee in the cup

Adjust the coffee quantity selection knob (B8) to set the required quantity.

Turning it clockwise increases the amount of coffee obtained.

Please note:
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 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 knob (A1) (fig. 7).

fig. 7

Please note:
The grinding adjustment knob must only be turned when the coffee mill is in operation.

To obtain delivery not a drop at a time, 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 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 button (B14). Hot water is delivered from the coffee spout (A18), 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).

Making coffee using coffee beans

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 (A3-fig. 8).
   
   fig. 8
2. Place under the coffee spouts (A18):
   • 1 cup, if you want 1 coffee (fig. 9);
     
     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).
   
   fig. 10
   
4. Press the button corresponding to the number of coffees required (1 cup B3-fig.11 or 2 cups B5 fig. 12).
5. Preparation begins and the (B2) or (B4) light stays on until delivery is complete.

Please note:

• While the machine is making coffee, delivery can be interrupted at any moment by pressing one of the two coffee buttons ( or ).
• At the end of delivery, to increase the quantity of coffee in the cup, just press (within 3 seconds) one of the coffee buttons ( or ).

Once the coffee has been made, the appliance is ready to use again.

Please note:
For hotter coffee, see the section "Tips for a hotter coffee:".

• 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.
• Lights may be displayed on the control panel during use.
  Their meaning is given in the sections "MEANING OF LIGHTS DURING NORMAL OPERATION" and "MEANING OF THE ALARM LIGHTS".

Making coffee using pre-ground coffee

• 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.

1. Turn the coffee taste selection knob (B9) anticlockwise as far as it will go to the position.
2. Make sure the funnel (A8) is not blocked, then add one level measure of pre-ground coffee (A23) (fig. 13).
   
   fig. 13
   
3. Place a cup under the coffee spouts (fig 9).
4. Press the cup coffee button (fig. 11).
5. Preparation begins and can be interrupted at any moment by pressing one of the two coffee buttons ( -B3 or -B5).

To deactivate the pre-ground coffee function, turn the knob to one of the other positions.

Please note:
A few seconds may elapse between energy saving mode and delivery of the first coffee.

MAKING CAPPUCCINO

During preparation, steam is given off. Take care to avoid scalds.

1. When preparing cappuccino, make the coffee in a large cup;
2. Fill a container with about 3,53 fl.oz/ 100 grams of milk for each cappuccino to be made.
   In choosing the size of the container, bear in mind that the milk doubles or triples in volume;
   Please note:
   For a richer denser froth, use skimmed or partially skimmed milk at refrigerator temperature (about 41°F/ 5°C).
   To avoid milk with poor froth or large bubbles, always clean the cappuccino maker (A9) as described in the section "Cleaning the cappuccino maker after use".
3. Press the button (B7). The corresponding light (B6) flashes, indicating that the appliance is heating up;
4. Turn the cappuccino maker outwards and immerse in the milk container (A9- fig. 14);
   
   fig. 14
5. When the light stops flashing and comes on steadily, turn the steam/hot water knob to the l position (B10 - fig. 5). Steam is delivered from the cappuccino maker, giving the milk a creamy frothy appearance and making it more voluminous;
6. For a creamier froth, rotate the container with slow movements in an upward direction. (You should not discharge steam for more than 3 minutes at a time);
7. When you have obtained the required froth, stop steam delivery by turning the steam/hot water knob back to the 0 position.
   
   Always turn the steam/hot water knob to the 0 position before removing the container with the frothed milk to avoid burns caused by splashes of boiling milk.
8. Add the milk froth to the cup of coffee prepared previously. The cappuccino is ready. Sweeten to taste and, if desired, sprinkle the froth with a little cocoa powder.

Please note:

• If immediately after making cappuccino and deactivating the steam function by pressing the steam button you press the (B3) or (B5) button because you want to make another coffee, the coffee maker will be too hot (the and lights (B2 and B4) flash to indicate an unsuitable temperature). You must wait about ten minutes for the appliance too cool down sufficiently.
  To cool it down more quickly, after deactivating the steam function, open the steam/hot water knob and let the water flow out of the cappuccino maker into a container until the lights and stop flashing.

Avoid contact with splashes of water.

Cleaning the cappuccino maker after use

Clean the cappuccino maker (A9) each time you use it to avoid the build-up of milk residues or blockages.

When cleaning the cappuccino maker, a little hot water is delivered.
Avoid contact with splashes of water.

1. Deliver a little water for a few seconds by rotating the knob to the I position (B10).
   Then turn the steam/hot water knob to the 0 position to stop the flow of hot water.
2. Wait for a few minutes for the cappuccino maker (A11) to cool down. Grip the handle of the cappuccino maker tube firmly in one hand and with the other rotate the cappuccino maker anticlockwise (fig. 15)
   
   fig. 15
   
   and remove by pulling downwards (fig. 16).
   
   fig. 16
3. Wash all parts of the cappuccino maker thoroughly with a sponge and warm water.
4. Make sure the holes shown by the arrows in fig. 17 are not blocked. If necessary, clean with a pin.

Short cord instructions

• A short power cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• Longer, detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
• If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is provided with 3- wire, grounding type cord, the extension should be a GROUNDING TYPE 3 - WIRE CORD. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter-top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
• Your product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
