10. HELPFUL HINTS
• The quality of the coffee depends not only on
the appliance, but also the water, the type of
coffee, the grinding, temperature, etc.
Make sure the coffee is fresh and use a blend
specifically for "espresso coffee". Keep the
coffee in a hermetically sealed container in a
cool place.
• As well as the blend, grinding and water tem-
perature, the quality of the water is also
important in preparing optimum espresso. You
are therefore recommended to use water with
a limited calcium content. This will produce the
best tasting coffee and also protect internal
components from the formation of damaging
scale.
11. DISPOSING OF THE APPLIANCE
When no longer used, the appliance should be rendered unusable by unplugging from the mains and cut-
ting the power cable. Never dispose of household appliances with domestic waste. They must be dispo-
sed of in respect of the environment.

repairs may expose the user to considerable risk, absolve the manufacturer from all liability for possible

lowing points carefully. Often the problem can be resolved, saving time and trouble.

USER MANUAL
Empty the water tank daily and fill with fresh

Always use fresh water only (never under
any circumstances use sparkling water).
• If the coffee is delivered too fast or too slowly,
it is usually due to incorrect grinding and the
grinder should be adjusted accordingly.
Grinding can only be regulated when the
coffee grinder is working.
• Coffee has a better taste if prepared in pre-
warmed cups. You are therefore recommen-
ded to place the cups to be used on the cup-
warmer tray (19).
