2.Turn the selection knob until “MY COFFEE” is displayed.

3.Keep the button (fig. 8) pressed until the message “1 MY COFFEE Program quantity” is displayed and coffee delivery begins. Release the button.

Adjusting the coffee mill

The coffee mill is preset in the factory to make coffee correctly and should not require adjusting initially.

However, if after making the first few coffees you find that the coffee is too thin and not creamy enough or that delivery is too slow (a drop at a time), this can be corrected by adjusting the grinding adjustment knob (fig. 9).

Please note!

The grinding adjustment knob must only be turned when the coffee mill is in operation.

If the coffee is delivered too slowly or not at all, turn one click clockwise towards “7”.

For fuller bodied creamier

coffee on the other hand,

turn one click anticlockwise

towards “1” (do not turn more than one click at a time otherwise the coffee could be delivered a drop

at a time).

These adjustments will only be evident after at least 2 cups of coffee have been delivered.

If this adjustment does not obtain the desired result, turn the knob another click.

Tips for a hotter coffee

For a hotter coffee, before delivery you are recommended to:

•rinse the appliance through by pressing the

button. Hot water flows out of the coffee spouts and heats the internal circuit of the machine so that the coffee delivered will be hotter.

• warm the cups with hot water (using the hot	EN
water function);

•select the “high” coffee temperature in the menu.

Making coffee using coffee beans

Important!

Do not use caramelized or candied coffee beans as this could damage the appliance.

1.Fill the container with coffee beans (fig. 10).

2.Place under the coffee spouts:

-1 cup if you want one coffee;

-2 cups if you want 2 coffees.

3.Lower the spouts as near as possible to the cup. This makes a creamier coffee (fig. 11).

4.Press the button corresponding to the

number of coffees required (1 cup or 2

cups , figs. 8 and 12).

5.Preparation begins. The amount of coffee selected is displayed together with a progress bar which gradually fills as preparation progresses.

Please note:

•While the coffee maker is making coffee, delivery can be interrupted at any moment by pressing one of the two coffee buttons (

or ).

•At the end of delivery, to increase the quantity of coffee in the cup, just press (within 3 seconds) one of the coffee buttons (or

Once the coffee has been made, the appliance is ready to use again.
