Storing beans:

Whole beans maintain freshness for up to a year in a vacuum sealed or nitrogen flushed bag.

Good quality bags have a one-way valve that allows gas and heat (from roasting) to escape but no air to enter the bag. Once freed from their quality packaging the clock begins ticking.

The greatest dangers to roasted coffee beans are air, moisture, and light.

Store unused beans in an air tight, opaque container, away from direct sunlight or extreme

temperatures. Beans kept in a freezer can collect moisture from the freezing and thawing process and worseONLYcouldWHENabsorb flavorsUSINGfromTHEthe foodsGRINDERstored around it.

Number of cups:

Use the Cups button (figure 2/g) to tell the machine how much water you have added to the tank.

There are settings for 2-4-6-8 and 10 cups. The machine automatically grinds the coffee based on Coffeenumb rstrength:of cups and coffee strength chosen.

Use the Strength button (figure 2/d) to choose mild, medium or strong coffee. Experiment with your particular beans starting with medium setting. By adjusting the next brew cycle to mild or strong you Tocanbrewgrindverymorestrongor lesscoffee:co fee for the same number of cups.

If you have brewed on the STRONG setting but still would prefer a stronger result set the machine to a higher cup setting than the actual amount of water with the strength setting on STRONG.

For example :	Press the	Cups	button to the maximum 10 cups
	Press the	Strength	button to the STRONG setting
	Add only 8 cups of water to the tank.
Note: Dark roasted coffees often provide a bolder taste. If you prefer very strong coffee you might try a
darker roast.
STOPPING THE APPLIANCE
Turn the machine off using the		On/Off	button (figure 2/b).

USING ALREADY GROUND COFFEE

You can make your coffee using already ground coffee, either immediately (normal mode), or by programming a scheduled start (auto mode).

When using ground coffee, the coffee strength and cup number settings are not operational.

You therefore do not need to adjust or modify them.

Immediate preparation of coffee (normal mode):

• Fill the water compartment with cold water using the carafe.
