Do not use green, caramelized or candied coffee beans as they could stick to the coffee mill and make it unusable.

1. Fill the container (A4) with coffee beans (fig. 10);
2. Place a cup under the coffee spouts (A9);
3. Lower the spouts as near as possible to the cup (fig. 11). This makes a creamier coffee;
4. Then select your required coffee:
   • ESPRESSO
   • LONG
   • COFFEE
   • DOPPIO+
   • 2X ESPRESSO
5.  Preparation begins. An image of the selected beverage appears on the display, together with a progress bar which gradually fills as preparation proceeds.

Please note:

You can prepare 2 cups of ESPRESSO coffee at the same time by pressing “2X ” during preparation of 1 ESPRESSO (the image is displayed for a few seconds at the start of preparation).

• While the machine is making coffee, delivery can be interrupted at any moment by pressing ****.

Once the coffee has been delivered, the machine will be ready  for further use.

Please note!

•  Various alarm messages could be displayed while using the appliance (FILL TANK, EMPTY GROUNDS CONTAINER, ETC.). Their meaning is explained in section “18. Displayed messages”.

• For hotter coffee, see section “7.6 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 sections “7.5
  Adjusting the coffee mill” and “19. Troubleshooting”.

• Preparation of each coffee can be customized (see sections “11. Customizing the beverages” and “12. Memorizing your own user profile”).

Selecting the coffee aroma
Press the button (C6):

| Custom (if programmed) / Standard
---|---
| EXTRA LIGHT

Making coffee using pre-ground coffee

Important!

• 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 machine.
• Never use more than 1 level measure (D2) as it could soil the inside of the coffee machine or block the funnel (A4).
• When using pre-ground coffee, only one cup can be made at a time.

1. Press the button (C6) until “ ” (ground) is displayed.
2. Open the pre-ground coffee funnel lid (A2).
3. Make sure the funnel(A4) is not blocked, then add one level measure of pre-ground coffee (fig. 12).
4. Place a cup under the coffee spouts (A9).
5. Then select your required coffee:
   • ESPRESSO
   • LONG
   • COFFEE
6. Preparation begins. An image of the selected beverage appears on the display, together with a progress bar which gradually fills as preparation proceeds. Once the coffee has been delivered, the machine will be ready for further use.

Important! Making LONG coffee:
Halfway through preparation, the message “ADD GROUND COFFEE” “MAX. ONE MEASURE” is displayed. Add one level measure of pre-ground coffee and press ****.

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 dial (A5) (fig. 13).

Please note!
The grinding adjustment dial must only be turned when the coffee mill is in operation during the initial phase of coffee preparation.
If the coffee is delivered too slowly or not at all, 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 delivered. If this adjustment does not produce the desired result, turn the dial another click.

Tips for a hotter coffee
For hotter coffee, proceed as follows:

• perform a rinse cycle by selecting the “Rinsing” function in the settings menu (section “6.3 Rinse ****“);
• warm the cups with hot water using the hot water function (see section”10. DDelivering hot water”);
• increase the coffee temperature in the settings menu
  “ “(C3) (see section “6.9 Coffee temperature “).

  in a dishwasher with the exception of the drip tray grille (A14) and milk container (E). • Do not use metal objects to remove encrustations or coffee deposits as they could scratch metal or plastic surfaces.

Cleaning the internal circuit
If the appliance is not used for more than 3/4 days, before using it again, we strongly recommend switching it on and:

• performing 2/3 rinse cycles by selecting the “Rinse” function (section “6.3 Rinse ****
• delivering hot water for a few seconds (section “10. Delivering hot water”). Please note! After cleaning, it is normal for the grounds container (A11) to contain water.

Cleaning the coffee grounds container
When “EMPTY GROUNDS CONTAINER” appears on the display, the grounds container must be emptied and cleaned. The appliance cannot be used to make coffee until you have cleaned the grounds container (A11).

When removing the drip tray, the grounds container must be emptied, even if it contains few grounds. If this is not done, when you make the next coffees, the grounds container may fill up more than expected and clog the machine.
Cleaning the drip tray and condensate tray
Important!
The drip tray (A15) is fitted with a level indicator (A13) (red) showing the amount of water it contains (fig. 23). Before the indicator protrudes from the cup tray (A12), the drip tray must be emptied and cleaned, otherwise the water may overflow the edge and damage the appliance, the surface it rests on or the surrounding area.

To remove the drip tray, proceed as follows:

1. Remove the drip tray and coffee grounds container (A11) (fig. 22);
2. Remove the cup tray (A12) and drip tray grille (A14), then empty the drip tray and grounds container and wash all components.

• If the descaling cycle is not completed correctly (e.g. no electricity) we recommend repeating the cycle;

• After descaling, it is normal for the grounds container (A11) to contain water.

• f the water tank has not been filled to the MAX level, at the end of descaling, the appliance requests a third rinse to
  guarantee that the descaler solution has been completely eliminated from the machine’s internal circuits. Before starting rinsing, remember to empty the drip tray;

• The appliance may request descaling cycles at very short intervals. This is normal and due to the appliance’s advanced control system.

SETTING WATER HARDNESS
The “DESCALING NEEDED” “PRESS OK TO START (~45MIN)
” message is displayed after a period of time established
according to water hardness. The machine is set by default for a hardness value of “4”. The machine can also be programmed according to the hardness of the mains water in the various regions so that the machine needs to be descaled less often.

1. Remove the TOTAL HARDNESS TEST indicator paper (D1) from its pack (attached to the English instructions).
2.  Immerse the paper completely in a glass of water for one second.
3. Remove the paper from the water and shake lightly. After about a minute, 1, 2, 3, or 4 red squares form, depending on the hardness of the water. Each square corresponds to one level.

Setting water hardness

1. Access the menu as described in section “6.1 Access the settings menu”;
2. Press “WATER HARDNESS”;
3. “WATER HARDNESS” “CURRENT VALUE UNDERLINED”: Press the required level (Level 1 = soft water; Level 4 = very hard water);
4. Press ” ****” to go back to the homepage. The machine is now reprogrammed with the new water hardness setting.
