Please note:
• For correct operation, before lling with ground coee,
check that the lter has no coee powder residue from the
previous brew.
• While the appliance is making coee, delivery can be in-
terrupted at any moment by pressing the coee button
pressed previously.
• At the end of delivery (within 3 seconds), to increase the
amount of coee in the cup, press and hold the coee but-
ton pressed previously. Delivery stops automatically after
a few seconds.
• To avoid splashes, never remove the lter holder while the
appliance is delivering coee. Always wait for a few sec-
onds after delivery.
4.1 Pressing the coee:
Correct pressing of the ground coee is essential to obtain a
good espresso.
• If you press too rmly, the coee will be delivered slowly
and will be strong.
• If you press too lightly, the coee will be delivered quickly
and will be weak.
4.2 Tips for a hotter coee
• Before making the coee, warm the cups by rinsing them
with a little hot water.
• Attach the lter holder (C1) with the lter (C2) or (C3) to the
appliance, but without adding coee. Using the same
cup as will later be used to make the coee, press the 1 cup
button and deliver hot water into the cup to heat it.
• Increase the coee temperature in the settings menu (see
“9. Settings menu”).
• Stand the cups you will be using on the cup warmer (A4)
which becomes hot during operation.
5. HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING PODS
1. Insert the coee pod lter (C4) in the lter holder (C1).
2. Insert the pod, centring it as much as possible on the lter
(g. 11). Always follow the instructions on the pod pack to
position the pod on the lter correctly.
3. Attach the lter holder to the appliance (g. 9).
4. Place the cup under the lter holder spouts.
5. Make sure the lights corresponding to the coee buttons
are on, then press the coee button (B1).
6. The appliance proceeds to make the coee and delivery
stops automatically.
7. To remove the lter holder, turn the handle from right to
left.
5.1 Choosing the pod
use pods conforming to the ESE standard, indicated on the pack
by the symbol.
The ESE standard is a system accepted by leading pod producers
and enables espresso coee to be prepared simply and cleanly.
Please note:
• When using pods, you can only make one coee at
a time.
• While the appliance is making coee, delivery can be in-
terrupted at any moment by pressing the coee button
pressed previously.
• At the end of delivery (within 3 seconds), to increase the
amount of coee in the cup, press and hold the coee but-
ton pressed previously. Delivery stops automatically after
a few seconds.
• To avoid splashes, never remove the lter holder while the
appliance is delivering coee. Always wait for a few sec-
onds after delivery.
• See section “4.2 Tips for a hotter coee”.
6. PROGRAMMING THE QUANTITIES OF COFFEE
IN THE CUP
The appliance is set by default to automatically deliver standard
quantities. To change these quantities, proceed as follows:
