Modes
The machine has 3 different modes: Default mode, ECO mode, and Quick mode. In ECO mode, the appliance will save more energy. In Quick mode, the user can prepare coffee faster than in Default mode.

| ECO mode| Quick mode| Default mode
---|---|---|---
Light indicator| No| Yes| Yes
Pre-infusion.| Yes| No| Yes
Automatic shut- off time| 10 min| 30 min| 20 min
Coffee/hot-water quantity setting| Yes| Yes| Yes

*Please note:
The Pre-infusion function hydrates the ground coffee in the machine with a small amount of water before coffee is fully extracted. This expands the coffee to create a higher pressure in the coffee machine, which helps with the extraction  of all the oils and the full flavour of the ground coffee.

1. When the coffee machine is in Standby mode, press and hold the On/Off button for 5 seconds.
2. 3. The control panel will display the following indications for the different modes:

      In ECO mode| steady light| flashing| flashing
      In Quick mode| flashing| steady light| flashing
      In Default mode| flashing| flashing| steady light

Press the hot-water button (22) to enter ECO mode, the strong-coffee button (18) to enter Quick mode, and the mild-coffee button (19) for Default mode. The device will beep twice to indicate that one of the above-mentioned modes has been selected. (Note: if you press the button corresponding to the mode already selected, the machine will not respond).
