Grounds container warning light
This message appears on
DREGDRAWER FULL
READY FOR USE
the display as soon as there
are 30 coffee grounds in the container. The
machine though does not stop. Remove the
grounds container and empty it.
Grind
If the coffee flows too quickly (coarse grind) or
too slowly (fine grind) into the cup, adjust the
coffee grinder:
Recommended grind level: position 5
Grind too coarse = adjust to a lower value (for
instance from 5 to 3)
Grind too fine = adjust to a higher value (for
instance from 5 to 7).
Adjust the grind level only when the
coffee grinder is running.
Avoid extreme adjustment (for instance, on
position 1) whenever possible. It is preferable to
try another coffee blend, because not all coffee
blends are suitable.
Coffee
Make sure coffee is fresh. An espresso roast is
preferable.
In order to obtain a strong and aromatic es-
presso coffee, use special blends suitable for
espresso coffee machines and special cups
with thick sides.
Keep coffee in a cool place, in an hermetically
sealed container.
Water quality
In addition to blend, grind and water tempera-
ture, the water quality is of the utmost impor-
tance for the brewing of a good coffee. Thus,
the use of a decalcifier to remove limescale and

eliminate any unpleasant taste and organic
impurities from water, is strongly recommended.
Furthermore a water decalcifier partially elimi-
nates limescale from water, thus protecting the
machine heating system from chemical buildup
and prolonging its working life.
The water tank must be emptied daily and filled
with fresh water.
Operation time
The machine may be kept on all day long.
However, it is advisable to activate the energy
saving mode after the last use. Press the Energy
saving switch. If the timer has been programmed,
the machine switches on automatically. See
page 34.
Should the machine not be used for a pro-
longed period (e.g. during the night) it is
advisable to switch the main switch (4) off.
Switching off the machine
Switch the machine off only after the coffee
cycle has been concluded.

Cup level filling
This machine allows the precise dosage of the
coffee quantity according to the cup dimension.
By means of the 3 selection keys the
desired coffee quantity can be chosen. The
display shows the selected quantity.
Cup level adjustment
To set the quantity of coffee to be dispensed,
press the selection key corresponding to the
right quantity and keep it pressed while the
37
coffee is dispensed into the cup. Release the key
only when the right level has been reached
(max. 250 ml approx.). As soon as the dosage
programming mode gets activated, the display
shows:
1 SMALL COFFEE
PROGR. QUANTITY
Warning! If activated, the pre-brewing function
will be performed.
Double quantity of coffee
i.e. 2 cups of coffee
If one of the three selection keys (no matter
which one) is pressed twice before coffee
brewing, the machine will brew a double
quantity of coffee.
Coffee beans
29 This machine grinds a portion of fresh
coffee for each cup; for two cups, it grinds two
portions of coffee, one after the other thus
ensuring optimum coffee quality.
Before any use, make sure the steam/
hot water knob is closed.
Adjust the desired grinding degree: the recom-
mended average value is 5.
The grinding degree must be ad-
justed only when the coffee grinder
is operating, otherwise it may be damaged.
Place one or two preheated cups on the grill (3)
under the dispenser (6). Press the relevant
selection key. The machine will automatically
dispense the selected coffee.
The coffee flow may be stopped at any moment
by pressing any selection button (except the
standby switch), for instance when an excessive
quantity of water has been selected. Should you
interrupt the coffee flow after the first of two
coffees has been brewed, the second is not
dispensed.
BREWING
Pre-ground coffee
Make sure to use pre-ground coffee
only (medium ground). Never use
whole beans or soluble coffee!
Right before making coffee, fill the
container with freshly ground cof-
fee. Remember that ground coffee ages soon,
thus losing its quality.
30 Use the measuring spoon supplied to fill the
container (14) with ground coffee. Use a full
measure only.
Then, press the pre-ground coffee selection
button and the desired selection key (regu-
lar, espresso or tall coffee) to obtain a cup of
coffee. It is not possible to obtain a second cup
of coffee.
The coffee flow may be stopped at any moment
by pressing any selection button (except the
standby switch), for instance when an excessive
quantity of water has been selected.
Hot water
The hot water dispensing is separate from the
coffee circuit, in order to supply tasteless hot
water for tea, soup etc.
31 Place a glass or cup under the steam/hot
water dispensing tube (7), then slowly open
knob (9), turning it counterclockwise. Hot water
will be automatically dispensed. As soon as
dispensing is over, close knob again.
Steam
To heat milk or other drinks.
Clean the spout with a damp cloth
soon after use; otherwise, it might
be difficult to remove milk residues.
