BREWING
Coffee
Make sure coffee is fresh. An espresso roast is
preferable.
In order to obtain a strong and aromatic espresso
coffee, use special blends suitable for espresso
coffee machines and special cups with thick sides.
Keep coffee in a cool place, in an hermetically
sealed container.
Water quality
In addition to blend, grind and water temperature,
the water quality is of the utmost importance for the
brewing of a good coffee. Thus, the use of a
decalcifier to remove limescale and eliminate any
unpleasant taste and organic impurities from water,
is strongly recommended. Furthermore a water
decalcifier partially eliminates limescale from water,
thus protecting the machine heating system from
chemical buildup and prolonging its working life.
The water tank must be emptied daily and filled with
fresh water.
Operation time
The machine may be kept on all day long. However,
it is advisable to activate the energy saving mode
after the last use. Press the Energy saving switch. If the
timer has been programmed, the machine switches
on automatically. See page 38.
Should the machine not be used for a prolonged
period (e.g. during the night) it is advisable to switch
the main switch (4) off.
Switching off the machine
Switch the machine off only after the coffee cycle has
been concluded.
Brewing
Cup level filling
This machine allows the precise dosage of the coffee
quantity according to the cup dimension.
By means of the 3 selection keys
the
desired coffee quantity can be chosen. The display
shows the selected quantity.
Cup level adjustment
To set the quantity of coffee to be dispensed, press
the selection key corresponding to the right quantity
and keep it pressed while the coffee is dispensed into
the cup. Release the key only when the right level has
been reached (max. 250 ml approx.). As soon as the
dosage programming mode gets activated, the
display shows:
"1 SMALL COFFEE "
"PROGR. QUANTITY
"
Warning! If activated, the pre-brewing function
will be performed.
Double quantity of coffee
i.e. 2 cups of coffee
If one of the three selection keys (no matter which one)
is pressed twice before coffee brewing, the machine
will brew a double quantity of coffee.
Coffee beans

This machine grinds a portion of fresh coffee for each
cup; for two cups, it grinds two portions of coffee,
one after the other thus ensuring optimum coffee
quality.
Before any use, make sure the steam/hot water knob
is closed.
Adjust the desired grinding degree: the recom-
mended average value is 5.
The grinding degree must be adjusted only when the
coffee grinder is operating, otherwise it may be
damaged.
