Use

Preparation

• Connect the applianc e t o the mains suppl y (see chapter ‘Installation’) and switch on the appli – ance with the main switch (see ‘A’ page 5). The first time you switch on the applianc e with the main switch and every time that it is plugged in, the applianc e executes a “SELF-DIAGNOSIS” action. Then the appliance switches off.
  To turn it on, press the On/stand by button (Aa) on the left site underneath the control panel.

• Coffee has been used to factory test the appli – ance and it is therefore completely normal for there to be traces of coffee in the mill.

• Customise water hardness as soon as pos sible following the instructions in the “Setting water hardness” section.

1. Start the applianc e with the on/stand by button (see ‘Aa’). The applianc e displays ‘FILL TANK’ in different languages.

   • Extract the water tank, rinse and fill with fresh water without exceeding the MAX line.
   • Replace and push as far as it will go.

2. Set the required language.

   • When the message “PRES S OK T O SET T O ENGLISH” is displayed, press and hold the touch key ‘Ok’ (5) for about 5 sec. If you set the wrong language, follow the instructions in the “Setting the language” section. If your language is not available, select one from those displayed. The instructions refer t o the English version. Then follow the instructions displayed.

3. Place a cup under the hot water spout. If the hot water spout is not inserted, the applianc e displays “INSERT WATER SPOUT”.

4. Place the hot water spout if it is not there. The appliance displays: “HO T WATER PRES S OK”.

5. Press the touch key ‘OK’ (5) and after a few seconds a littl e water comes out of the spout.

6. The machine now displays “TURNING OFF PLEASE WAIT” and goes off.
   

7. Extract the appliance by pulling it out using the handles.

8. Open the lid and fill the container with coffee beans, then close the lid and push the appliance in. The coffee maker is now ready for normal use.

Warning!
Only fill the water tank with cold water. Never use other liquids such as mineral water or milk.
To prevent malfunctions, never fill with ground coffee, frozen or caramelised coffee beans or anything else that could damage the appliance.

Not:

• When using the appliance for the first time, you need to make 4-5 cups of coffee and 4-5 cappuccinos before the appliance gives satisfactory results.
• Each time you turn the coffee maker on by the main switch (A), it performs a “SELF-DIAGNOSIS” cycle and then goes off. To turn it on again, press the On/stand by button (Aa).

Operation

Preparing coffee (using coffee beans)

• The appliance is preset to make coffee with a normal taste. You can also choose coffee with an extra mild, mild, normal, strong or extrastrong taste. There is also a pre-ground coffee option.
• To choose the required taste, press more times the touch key ‘Coffee strength’ (2). The required coffee taste is displayed.

1. Place 1 cup under the spouts to make 1 coffee or 2 cups for 2 coffees.

2. Lower the spouts as near as possible to the cup for a creamier coffee.

3. Press the ‘type of coffee’ touch key (3) to select the type of coffee:
   

   • Espresso
   • Medium cup
   • Large cup

4. Press the ‘one cup of coffee deliver’ touch key (4) if you want to make one coffee and the ‘two cup of coffee deliver’ touch key (6) if you want to make two coffees.

   • The appliance now grinds the beans and starts delivering the coffee into the cup.
   • Once the set amount of coffee has been delivered, the machine stops delivery automatically and expels the exhausted waste coffee into the waste coffee container. After a few seconds, the appliance is ready for use again.

Tips

• To turn the appliance off, press the ‘On-off’ button (Aa / see page 5). Before going off, the appliance performs an automatic rinse cycle.
  Take care to avoid scalds.

• If the coffee only comes out in drips or not at all, the knob for setting the grind level must be turned by one position clockwise (see “Setting the grind level”). Turn one click at a time until the coffee is delivered satisfactorily.

• If the coffee comes out too fast and the cream does not meet your taste, turn the knob by one position anti-clockwise). Make sure that you do not turn the knob for setting the grind level too far, as coffee may come out in drips when dispensing 2 cups.

• You can stop the coffee from dispensing by pressing the ‘One cup of coffee deliver’ touch key (4) or ‘Two cup of coffee deliver’ touch key (6) again.

• After the coffee has finished dispensing (the progress bar reaches – 100%), you can change the amount of coffee (see ‘Changing the quantity of coffee’).

• When the display shows the message “FILL TANK!”, you mus t fill the tank, otherwise the appliance cannot mak e any coffee. It is nor – mal that ther e is some water left in the water tank when the message is displayed.

Tips to make hotter coffee

• After 3 minutes since you last made coffee, you can preheat the brewing unit by using the menu setting “RINSING (see Rinsing page 20). Run off the water int o the underlying drip tray or alternatively use this water t o fill (and then empty) the cup t o be used for the coffee.
• Do not use cups that are too thick, a s they will absorb too much heat.

Empty the waste coffee container

• The appliance counts the number of coffees made. Every 14 singl e coffees (or 7 doubles) the applianc e displays “EMPTY WASTE COF – FEE CONTAINER”. This means that the waste coffee container is full and mus t be emptied and cleaned.
• As long as the waste coffee container is not cleaned, this message remains in plac e and the coffee machine cannot make any coffee.
• To clean, open the servic e door at the front by pulling the coffee spout, remove the drip tray, empty it and clean it.

Important!

• Always completely extract the drip tray, t o avoid that it falls when removing the grounds container. Empty th e grounds container an d clean thoroughly, making sure all residues deposited on the bottom are removed.
• Every time you pull the drip tray out, the waste coffee container must also be emptied, even if it is not completely full. If this process is not carried out, the waste coffee container may overfill when coffee is made and the machine may get blocked.
• Never remove the water tank when the appliance is dispensing coffee. Otherwise, the appliance will not be able to make the coffee.
  If the appliance malfunctions, do not contact the service centre straight away, but first look at the troubleshooting guide. If this does not help, contact the customer service.

Changing the quantity of coffee
The appliance is factory preset to automatically deliver the following quantities of coffee:

• Espresso
• Medium cup
• Large cup

To change these quantities, proceed as follows:

4. As soon as the coffee in the cup reaches the required level, press the same icon again.
   The quantity set has now been programmed.

Setting the grind level

• If coffee is dispensed too quickly or too slowly (in drips), you can change the grind level.
  Only change the grind level during the milling process. Otherwise, the coffee machine may be damaged.

1. Extract the applianc e by pulling it out using the handles.
2. Press the ‘one cup of coffee deliver’ touch key (4).
3. Open the coffee bean holder cover.
4. Turn the knob for setting the grind level anti-clockwise t o obtain finer ground coffee, slower delivery and
   a creamier appearance. Turn the knob clockwise for coarser ground coffee and faster delivery (not a drop at a time).
   The adjustment will be evident after at least 2 cups of coffee are made.

Preparing espresso coffee using ground coffee

1. Press the ‘Coffee strength’ touch key (2) several times to select “PRE-GROUND”.
2. Extract the machine by pulling it outwards using the handles.
