2. Before the display stops flashing (after about 5
seconds), set the desired time by repeatedly pres-
sing the HOUR key .
3. Set the minutes by repeatedly pressing the MIN
key. (The process can be speeded up by keeping
your finger pressed down on the key.)
4. After 5 seconds, the display will stop flashing and
the clock will start to work.
If you need to reset the time, press the HOUR key for
about 2 seconds, then set the new time, as described
from point 2 down.
The time set will not be held in the memory in the
event of a temporary power cut.
HOW TO SET THE DELAYED START (TIMER)
Check that the time of day has been set correctly.
To set the delayed start (the time when you want to
make the coffee), proceed as follows:
1. Press the AUTO key for about 2 seconds until
"0:00" flashes on the display;
2. Before the display stops flashing (after about 5
seconds) set the desired time by repeatedly pres-
sing the HOUR key.
3. Set the minutes by repeatedly pressing the MIN
key.
4. After 5 seconds, the display will stop flashing and
the programmed time will be memorised.
5. After programming the machine in this way, you
need only press the 'AUTO' key each time in
order to have the coffee at the time set.
If you wish to change the delayed start time once it
has been set, press the AUTO key for about 2 seconds
before setting a new time as described from point 2
down.
Bear in mind that at the set time, the machine only
begins making the coffee but the steam boiler does
not come on.
AUTO SHUT OFF TIME
The machine is programmed by the maker to keep the
coffee warm for 2 hours after percolation. It is, however,
possible to change this time by proceeding as follows:
1. Press the coffee key for about 2 seconds until
"2:00" flashes on the display.
2. Modify the desired time by repeatedly pressing
the HOUR key (and also the MIN key if required).
3. After setting the time wait for 5 seconds; when the
display stops flashing the time selected will be
memorised.
Note: if you set "0:00", the machine keeps the cof-
fee warm for an unlimited period.
SETTING FOR 1-4 CUPS
In order to increase the strength of the coffee and
improve the aroma when fewer than 5 cups are
made, press both the ON/OFF and the 1-4 cups key.
The 1-4 cups light will come on.
CHLORINE FILTER
The filter removes the taste of chlorine from the water.
To fit it, proceed as follows:
• Remove the chlorine filter from the plastic bag
and rinse it under the tap.
• Raise the coffee lid and remove the filter case
from its housing by pulling it upwards (fig. 1).
• Open the case by pressing on the special areas
marked "PUSH" and carefully position the filter in
the compartment as shown in fig. 2.
• Close the case and reinsert it in the housing,
pushing it right down.
• After 80 coffee cycles and after every six month-
sí use, the chlorine filter should be replaced. As it
is made of biodegradable material, the filter can
be disposed of along with normal household
waste.
PREPARING THE COFFEE
• Fill the jug with cold water up to the level marked
(signed on the "drip coffee" side of the jug),
according to the number of cups of coffee requi-
red (fig. 3).
WARNING: never exceed the 10-cup line to
avoid causing water to leak out through the rear
slots in the machine; do not use water which has
been heated, to avoid the machine signalling the
end of the coffee percolation prematurely.
• Pour the water into the tank (fig. 4). The amount
of coffee obtained is slightly less than the amount
of water poured into the tank because some of the
water remains in the coffee grounds and some is
lost through steam.
• Position the jug on the hotplate (Z), making sure
that the lid is on. The perforations in the lid serve
to preserve the coffee aroma and this is why it is
necessary to lift the jug by the handle side in
order to open it (fig. 3).
• Place the coffee in the filter using the measure
supplied and level it off uniformly (fig. 5). As a
general guide, put a level measure of coffee
(about 7 grams) for each cup required (i.e. 10
measures for 10 cups). The amount of coffee to
be used may, however, vary according to perso-
nal taste. Use good quality coffee designed for fil-
ter coffee machines.
