6. When the lights corresponding to the water hardness
measured come on, release the button;
7. Then press the button to turn the appliance o
(stand-by).
Please note: If the water softener lter is being used correctly, set the

ance on and o (stand-by) by pressing the button (B1).

7. HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING PRE
GROUND COFFEE.
1. Place the ground coee lter (C2) or (C3) in the lter holder
(C1)
(g. 12)
. Use the lter to make one coee or
the lter to make two coees;
2. To make just one coee, place one level measure of pre-
ground coee (about 7 g) in the lter. (g. 12). To make two
coees, place two loosely lled measures (about 6+6 g) of
pre-ground coee in the lter. Fill the lter a little at a time to
prevent the pre-ground coee from overowing;
Important: for correct operation, before lling with pre-ground coee,
make sure there are no coee residues left in the lter from the last time
you made coee.
3. Distribute the ground coee evenly and press gently
down with the presser (g. 13). Correct pressing of the
pre-ground coee is essential to obtain a good espresso.
If pressing is excessive, coee delivery will be slow and the
froth will be dark. If pressing is too light, coee delivery
will be too rapid and the froth will be skimpy and light
coloured;
4. Remove any excess coee from the rim of the lter holder
and attach the lter holder to the appliance. To attach
correctly, align the lter holder handle with the OPEN
symbol (g. 4), attach the lter holder and rotate the
handle towards the right until aligned with the CLOSE
symbol (g. 5);
5. Place the cup or cups under the lter holder spouts (g.
14). You are recommended to warm the cups before
making coee by rinsing them with a little hot water;
6. Make sure the lights corresponding to the coee buttons
are on, then press the coee button ( (B3) or
(B5)). The appliance makes the coee and delivery stops
automatically.
Please note:
While the appliance is making coee, delivery can be interrupted at any
moment by pressing the coee button pressed previously.
At the end of delivery, to increase the quantity of coee in the cup, just
press and hold (within 3 seconds) the coee button pressed previously.
To remove the lter holder, turn the handle from right to left.
Danger of scalding To avoid splashes, never remove the lter holder while the
appliance is delivering coee. Wait for a few seconds after delivery.
8. HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING
PODS
Please note: use pods conforming to the ESE standard, indicated on the
pack by the following symbol. The ESE standard is a system accepted by
leading pod producers and enables espresso coee to be prepared simply
and cleanly.
1. Place the pod coee lter (C4) ( ) in the lter holder
(C1);
2. Insert a pod, centring it as far as possible in the lter (g.
15). Always follow the instructions on the pod pack to po-
sition the pod on the lter correctly;
3. Attach the lter holder to the appliance. Always turn as far
as it will go (g. 5);
4. Proceed as in points 5 and 6 in the previous section.
9. 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:
1. Place a cup under the coee spouts (A5);
2. Press and hold the button you want to programme (
(B3) or (B5)). The appliance starts delivering coee;
3. Once the required quantity of coee has been delivered
into the cup, release the button. Delivery stops.
The machine is now reprogrammed with the new quantities.
10. CUP WARMER (g. 16)
The cup warmer is activated by pressing the button. Leave
the cups on the cup warmer until they are warm. This helps to
make hot coee.
You should not deliver hot water
for more than 60 seconds.
