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 memorized.
5.Press the AUTO key; the AUTO light will come on and at the programmed time the machine will start to make the coffee.
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 1 down.
Note: at the set time, the machine 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 ON/OFF 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
memorized.
Note: if you set “0:00”, the machine keeps the coffee 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 the
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 months 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, according to the number of cups of coffee required (fig. 3).
WARNING: never exceed the
•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 personal taste. Use good quality
•Close the lid. Press the ON/OFF key; the ON light will come on (fig. 6) and the machine will begin to make the coffee. (To make coffee at the
the coffee has been made.
It is completely normal for the appliance to emit steam during coffee percolation and for a few drops of condensation to form around the lid.
After percolation, the hotplate (Z) keeps the coffee in the jug warm at the appropriate temperature for 2 hours (to modify this time see the paragraph headed “AUTO SHUT OFF TIME”).
PREPARING CAPPUCCINOS
Filling and switching on the boiler
•Unscrew the boiler cap (E) by turning it in an counterclockwise direction.
•Fill the jug with a maximum of 170 gr. of water (6 fl. oz.), corresponding to the amount required to make one coffee (fig. 7).
•Pour the water slowly into the boiler, first making sure that the “cappuccino” switch is off and that the steam knob is turned off (fig. 8).
