ADVICE ABOUT COFFEE

The aroma from coffee depends on the quality of the grind. Generally, the quicker the coffee-making technique, the finer the ground coffee should be. The grind used for an espresso is therefore finer than that for a filter coffee.
A very fine ground coffee intended for espresso will give you a bitter tasting coffee when used for a filter coffee. Using a coarser ground for an espresso coffee will give you a weak-tasting coffee. Once you have chosen the appropriate coffee ground fineness for your coffee-maker you can just add more ground coffee to get a stronger taste without any additional bitterness.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Clean the ground coffee holder, its lid and the bean hopper lid with warm, soapy water. Clean the inside of the bean hopper with a damp cloth. Never place the body of the appliance in water or under running water. Carefully dry the assembly of parts and fit them to the appliance again. You can wash the ground coffee holder, its lid and the bean hopper in the upper basket of the dishwasher.

USING THE APPLIANCE

Fit the ground coffee holder and its lid in their correct positions.
Check that the assembly is correctly positioned in the body (1).
Remove the lid and put coffee beans into the bean hopper. Do not fill above the “max.” level. Replace the bean hopper lid and make certain that it is correctly positioned (2-3).
Set the quantity of ground coffee you want by positioning the number of cups selector according to the desired quantity **(4).

**
Set the ground coffee fineness by adjusting the grind setting selector to the desired level (see § Practical Hints) (5)
Plug in.
Press the ON/OFF switch to start the appliance (6).
Once the selected quantity has been milled, the appliance will stop automatically.
If you want to stop the appliance before then, press the ON/OFF switch.
Remove the ground coffee holder, tap the receptacle gently, remove the lid and pour the ground coffee obtained directly into the filter of the coffee maker or use a measuring spoon to fill the Espresso coffee maker (7).
To obtain additional ground coffee, you can repeat an operating cycle by again pressing the ON/OFF switch. Always ensure that the ground coffee does not go above the “max.” level of the ground coffee holder.

Selected settings will be retained from one use to the next.

Caution!
For your appliance to run correctly, make certain that:

The bean hopper lid is correctly positioned
The ground coffee holder and its lid are correctly placed in the body of the appliance.

PRACTICAL HINTS

Keep your coffee beans in the refrigerator in a sealed container.
To keep your coffee’s entire aroma, we advise you to grind your coffee just a few moments before making it.

GRIND SETTING ADVICE

Use the grind setting selector to adjust the level of fineness of your ground coffee according to the type of coffee maker you use and to your taste.
On first use, you are advised to select an intermediate position according to your type of coffee maker and then later adjust the degree of fineness to your taste. Once you have used the appliance a few times, you will find the ideal grind to suit you.
Do not change the grind setting when the mill is running.

Advice to select the number of cups:

Use the number of cups selector to program the quantity of ground coffee you want.
The more cups you select, the longer the appliance will run

MAINTENANCE

Never place the body of the appliance, power supply cord or plug in water or under running water.
Do not use detergents or abrasive pads to clean the appliance.
Clean the lids and the ground coffee holder in warm, soapy water or place them in the upper basket of your dishwasher.
Over time colour from the coffee beans may stain the plastic parts of your appliance, this is normal. They may be cleaned by soaking them in mild bleach (non abrasive) straight after use.
To remove the removable upper mill, set the grind selector to the minimum position then take hold of the side flaps of the upper mill with your fingers and turn clockwise, then raise it vertically to remove (8-9)
Carefully clean the inside of the bean hopper using a damp cloth.
To replace the upper mill, set the grind selector to the maximum position, position the removable upper mill and turn it round once in the anticlockwise direction. (10)
