Customising the “MY COFFEE” quantity
The appliance is set by default to automatically deliver 30 ml
of “my coee”.
To modify these settings, proceed as follows:
1. Place a cup under the coee spouts (g. 9).
2. Turn the selection dial (C7) until the light comes
on.
3. Press the 1 cup coee button (g. 10) until the mes-
sage “1 MY COFFEE Program Quantity” is displayed and
the appliance starts delivering the coee. Release the
button;
4. As soon as the coee in the cup reaches the required level,
press the button again.
The quantity set has now been programmed.
Adjusting the coee mill
The coee mill is set by default to prepare coee correctly and
should not require regulating initially.
However, if after making the rst few coees you nd that deli-
very is either too fast or too slow (a drop at a time), this can be
corrected by adjusting the grinding adjustment dial (g. 11).
Please note!
The grinding adjustment dial must only be turned when the
coee mill is in operation.
For fuller bodied creamier coee,
turn one click anticlockwise to-
wards “1” (ner ground coee).
For faster delivery (not a drop at a
time), turn one click clockwise to-
wards “7” (coarser ground coee).
These adjustments will only be evident after at least 2 cups of
coee have been delivered.
If delivery is still too fast or too slow, repeat the correction, tur-
ning the dial another click.

perature.
