   • Long Coffee
   • Americano

5. Customize Aroma, coffee quantity and number of cups

6. Press START icon

7. Preparation begins. An image of the selected beverage appears on the display (C1), together with a progress bar which gradually fills as prepara- tion proceeds.
   While the machine is making cof- fee, delivery can be interrupted at any moment by pressing STOP.
   Once the coffee has been made, the appliance is ready to make the next beverage
   Various alam messages could be displayed while using the ap- pliance (ill tank, empty ground container, etc.). Their meaning is explained in section “Displayed messages”
   • For hotter coffee, see 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 sections
   • “Adjusting the coffee mill” and “Trou- bleshooting”
   • Preparation of each coffee can be customised
   • If “Energy Saving’ mode is active, you may have to wait a few seconds before the first coffee is delivered

7.2 Pre-ground coffee

While the machine is making cof- fee, delivery can be interrupted at any momernt by pressing STOP icon
IMPORTANT!
Halfway through preparation, the message ADD PRE-GROUND COFFEE is displayed. Add one level measure of pre-ground cof- fee and press START.
7.3 Adjusting the coffee mill
The coffee millis set by default to prepare coffee correctly and should not require regulating initially.
However, if after making the first few cof- fees you find that the coffee is sither 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
IMPORTANT!
The grinding adjustment dial must be turned only when the cof- fee mill is in operation (grinding sound) during the initial phase of coffee preparation

If the coffee is delivered too slowly or not at all, and when the wording GROUND TOO FINE appears in versions with dis- play, turn the coffee grinding dial one or two clicks in a clockwise direction.

To deliver more full-bodied, creamier coffee, turn the dial in an anti- clockwise direction by one click toward number 1 (not more than one click at a time, other- wise the coffee might start to drip) These adjustments wil only be evident after at least 2 cups of coffee have been delivered. If this adjustment does not obtain the desired result, turn the dial another click
7.4 Tips for a hotter coffee
For hotter coffee, it is recommended to increase the coffee temperature in the settings menu. wam the cups with hot water/steam using the hot water/steam function.

   For a denser more even froth, you must use skimmed or partially skimmed milk at refrigerator tem- perature (about 5°C)
   If “Energy Saving’ mode is ena- bled, you may have to wait a few seconds before the beverage is delivered

3. Make sure the milk intake tube is correctly inserted in the bottom of the milk container lid (fig. 16 Quick Guide);

4. Place the lid back on the milk con- tainer;
