Danger of burns!
During rinsing, a little hot water comes out of the coee spouts
and is collected in the drip tray underneath.
Avoid contact with splashes of water.
Making coee using coee beans
Important!
Do not use caramelised or candied coee beans as they could
stick to the coee mill and make it unusable.
1. Fill the container with coee beans (g. 12).
2. Place under the coee spouts:
- 1 cup, if you want 1 coee (g. 9);
- 2 cups, if you want 2 coees (g. 13);
3. Lower the spout as near as possible to the cups. This ma-
kes a creamier coee (g. 14).
4. Press the button corresponding to the number of coe-
es required (1 cup or 2 cups ) (gs. 10 and
15).
5. Preparation begins. The amount of coee selected is di-
splayed together with a progress bar which gradually lls
as preparation progresses (g. 16).
Once the coee has been made, the appliance prepares to
make the next drink.

not exceeding the MAX level marked on the handle (g.

Please note!
For a richer denser froth, use skimmed or partially skimmed
milk at refrigerator temperature (about 5°C).
To avoid milk with poor froth or large bubbles, always clean
the milk lid and hot water nozzle as described in the section
“Cleaning the milk container” on pages 14 and 16.
3. Make sure the milk intake tube is correctly inserted in the
bottom of the milk container lid (g. 20).
4. Replace the milk container lid and turn anticlockwise as
far as it will go.
5. Remove the hot water spout from the nozzle (g. 21).
6. Attach the container to the nozzle and push as far as it
will go (g. 22). The machine emits a beep (if the beep
function is enabled).
