Empty water tank warning light
An empty water tank causes the cycle to stop
automatically.
Fill the tank with water. It is of the utmost importance
to drain the circuit before restarting the machine.
It is not possible to start programming without
carrying out the drainage.
When restarting the machine, make sure the red
warning light is not blinking or is off.
Grind
If the coffee flows too quickly (coarse grind) or
too slowly (fine grind) into the cup, adjust the
coffee grinder.
Recommended grind level: position 5
Grind too coarse= adjust to a lower value (from
5 to 3)
Grind too fine= adjust to a higher value (from 5
to 7).
Adjust the grind level only when the coffee
grinder is running.
Avoid extreme adjustment (for instance, on
position 1) whenever possible.
It is preferable to try another coffee blend,
because not all coffee blends are suitable.
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 a hermetically
sealed container.
Coffee may be deep frozen and then ground
either fresh or frozen.
Water quality
In addition to blend, grind and water tempera-

BREWING

ture, 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 the water, is strongly recommended.
Furthermore, a decalcifier partially eliminates
limescale from water, thus protecting the ma-
chine 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, should the machine not be used for a
prolonged period, it is advisable to turn it off.
Once switched on, it will be ready for use within
two minutes.
Switching off the machine
Switch the machine off only after the coffee
cycle has been concluded.
Brewing
Cup level adjustment
This machine allows the precise dosage of the
coffee quantity, according to the cup dimension.
The cup levels have been pre-set at the factory
according to the following values:
espresso coffee: 60 ml
regular coffee: 125 ml
tall coffee: max. 250 ml. approx.
Cup level setting
Ex. espresso coffee.
When the machine is ready, press and keep
pressed the espresso coffee button and wait
until the desired quantity of coffee has flown into
the cup.
34
Upon releasing the button, the level is automati-
cally saved, thus always allowing to obtain the
same quantity of coffee.
Use the above mentioned procedure also to
change or adjust the quantity of water either for
regular or tall coffee.
The quantity for two cups of coffee will be
automatically adjusted according to the single
cup level.
Double quantity of coffee or 2 cups of coffee.
By pressing the desired selection button twice,
the machine will brew a double quantity of
coffee.
Bean coffee

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 opti-
mum 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.
Place one or two preheated cups on the grill (3)
under the dispenser (4).
By pressing the relevant selection button the
machine will automatically dispense the se-
lected coffee.
The coffee flow can be stopped at any moment
BREWING
by pressing any selection button (except those
relevant to the heating plate and steam).
This operation can be performed, for instance, if
an excessive quantity of water has been selected.
Pre-ground coffee
Make sure to use pre-ground coffee only (me-
dium ground).
Never use whole bean or soluble coffee!
Right before making coffee, fill the container
with freshly ground coffee.
Use the quantity necessary for the number of
cups to be obtained.
Always remember that ground coffee ages
soon, thus losing its quality.
30
Use the measuring spoon supplied to fill the
container with ground coffee (14).
Use a full measure only!
Do not tamp ground coffee, otherwise the opti-
mum dosage for each cup is no longer ensured.
Then, press the pre-ground coffee selection button
and the desired selection button (espresso,
regular or tall coffee) to obtain a cup of coffee.
The coffee flow may be stopped at any moment
by pressing any selection button (except those of
the heating plate and steam), if, for instance, an
excessive quantity of water has been selected.
Hot water
The hot water dispensing is separate from the
coffee circuit, in order to supply hot water for
tea, soup etc.
