DISPENSING COFFEE

Note: If the machine fails to dispense coffee,
make sure the water container contains
water; you may check the water level in the
container on the left-hand side of the machine.
Before dispensing coffee, make sure that
the green temperature ready light (24)
remains lit, and that both the water and coffee
containers are full.
• Place 1 or 2 cups beneath the dispenser
nozzles (14); you may adjust the height of the
dispenser to suit your cups.
• The dispenser may be moved so that you may
use large cups. In this case you must manually push
the dispensing unit towards the machine as far as
it will go (allowing dispensing into only one cup t a
time); to set the dispenser in the ideal position for
small cups, pull it all the way outward and make
sure it is locked in place.
• Use the knob (22) to adjust the amount of coffee in
the cup: turn it clockwise to increase the amount of
coffee dispensed; turn it counterclockwise to reduce
the amount of coffee dispensed.
Note: we recommend emptying the water
tray when the level float (13) rises.
7.1 Dispensing with coffee beans
• To dispense coffee, press the button (23) to begin
the dispensing cycle: press the button (23) once
to dispense 1 cup; press it twice in succession to
dispense 2 cups.
In this operating mode, the machine
automatically grinds and dispenses the
correct amount of coffee; it takes two automatic
grinding cycles and two automatic dispensing
cycles to prepare two coffees.
• After completing the pre-brewing cycle, the coffee
will begin to flow from the dispensing nozzle (14).
• The machine will automatically stop dispensing
coffee when it reaches the level set with the
DISPENSING COFFEE - DISPENSING HOT WATER
knob (22); you may however stop flow at any time
by pressing the button (23).
7.2 Dispensing with ground coffee
Fill the dispenser (5) only with coffee ground
specifically for espresso machines; coffee
beans, freeze-dried coffee, and other materials will
damage the machine.
It is prohibited to insert your fingers into the
ground coffee dispenser, which contains
hazardous moving parts.
• Use only the measuring spoon (19) provided with
the machine to measure out the correct amount of
ground coffee to place in the dispenser.
Add only one measuring spoonful of ground
coffee at a time. To make two coffees, you
must carry out two separate consecutive cycles.
• Press the button (25) to select the function; the pilot
light (26) will light.
• Lift the ground coffee dispenser lid (5).
• Use the measuring spoon (19) to measure out a
dose of coffee, removing any excess coffee powder
from the measuring spoon.
• Empty the ground coffee into the dispenser.
• Close the lid (5).
• To dispense coffee, press the button (23) to begin
the dispensing cycle.
• After completing the pre-brewing cycle, the coffee
will begin to flow from the dispensing nozzle (14).
• The machine will automatically stop dispensing
coffee when it reaches the level set with the
knob (22); you may however stop flow at any time
by pressing the button (23).
• Then the machine automatically returns to the
normal operating mode (see para. 7.1).
