Preparing the grinder
Adjust the fineness of your coffee grinding to set the strength of your coffee. The finer the
grind setting, the stronger and creamier the coffee will be.
Turn the "Grinding fineness setting" button to set the degree of grinding fineness. Turn
anticlockwise for a finer grind. Turn clockwise for a coarser grind. - Fig. 15.
CHANGE THE SETTING DURING GRINDING.
NEVER FORCE THE GRINDING FINENESS SETTING BUTTON.
PREPARING ESPRESSO AND ORDINARY COFFEE
YOUR APPLIANCE IS DESIGNED TO MAKE COFFEE FROM COFFEE BEANS ONLY.
When you first make coffee with the machine or after a long period of absence or a
cleaning or scale removal procedure, a little steam and hot water will come out of the
steam nozzle (priming).
Splashing or scalding may occur if the coffee outlets are set too high in relation to the
size of the cups.
Preparing an espresso
The quantity of water for an espresso must be between 20 and 70 ml.
Press the
button, wait for the end of pre-heating and perform a rinsing operation if you
wish. Each time you plug your machine in, it will carry out an initialisation cycle.
The drink selection menu will be displayed - Fig. 16.
Put a cup under the coffee outlets. You can lower or raise the coffee outlets to suit the size
of your cups - Fig. 17. Use the rotating button to select your drink - Fig. 12 and confirm by
pressing the OK key - Fig. 13.
You can change the volume of water at any time using the rotating button - Fig. 12.
To stop coffee flowing into the cup, you can either again press a key or turn the
rotating button to reduce volume.
Making a coffee
The amount of water required for a coffee is between 80 and 160 ml.
Making a long coffee
The amount of water required for a long coffee is between 120 and 240 ml. The machine
automatically carries out a double cycle, do not remove your cup before the process has
ended.
The ground coffee is first moistened using a little hot water after the grinding stage. A
few moments later, percolation as such begins.
There is a temperature setting function to control how hot your coffee is.
DO NOT REMOVE THE WATER COMPARTMENT BEFORE THE END OF THE CYCLE
(that is around 15 seconds after the coffee has finished dripping through).
2-cup function
Your appliance enables you to prepare 2 cups of coffee or espresso for the following 3
kinds of drink : espresso / strong espresso / coffee. For "Large coffee" drinks, the 2-cup
function is not available. Remember not to remove the cups after the first cycle. You have

now prepared your appliance. The drink select menu will be displayed.
Put two cups under the coffee outlets. You can lower or raise the coffee outlets to suit the
size of your cups.- Fig. 17. Select your drink and confirm by clicking twice on the OK key.
A message will appear to tell you that you have chosen two cups.
The appliance will automatically sequence 2 complete coffee-making cycles.
PREPARING HOT WATER

water" key
To interrupt the steam function, just press any key.
If the nozzle is blocked, clean it out with a fine needle.
The maximum amount of hot water per cycle is limited to 300 ml.
PREPARING STEAM
Steam froths up the milk to make a cappuccino or a caffe latte, for example, and also heats
up liquids. As you need a higher temperature to produce steam than to make an espresso,
the appliance runs an additional pre-heating phase for steam.
While the screen displays the drink selection menu, press the "steam" key
screen will inform you that the appliance is being pre-heated. Once the pre-heating phase
has been completed, a message will ask you to place a container under the steam nozzle
- Fig. 5. Press the "steam" key
again to start generating steam. A little water will be
produced first and then steam will start. Use the same key to stop steam generation.
BE CAREFUL, BECAUSE THE CYCLE DOES NOT STOP IMMEDIATELY.
Frothing milk
We recommend that you use pasteurised or UHT milk that has been recently opened.
Do not use untreated milk. After the steam function has been used, the nozzle will be
hot, and we recommend that you wait for a few moments before handling it.
Check that the steam nozzle is correctly fitted - Fig. 19.
Pour the milk into your milk jug. Only half fill it. Immerse the nozzle in the milk - Fig. 20.
Press the "steam" key
and follow the instructions on the screen.
Once your milk is frothy enough... - Fig. 21, again press the "steam"
cycle. Be careful, because the cycle does not stop immediately.
To remove any remaining milk from the steam nozzle, place a container under the nozzle
and press the "steam" key
. Let the hot water escape for at least 10 seconds and then
again press the "steam" key
to stop water.
You can remove the steam nozzle for thorough cleaning. Wash it using a brush with water
and a little non-abrasive washing up liquid. Rinse and dry it - Fig. 22-23. Before re-fitting,
make certain that the air inlet holes are not clogged by milk residues. Clean out the holes
with a needle if necessary - Fig. 24.
