HOW to Choose the Flavor of Drip Coffee

If you want to change the delayed start time after it has been set, press the AUTO button for about 2 seconds and then set a new time as described starting from point 2.

Keep in mind that at the time set, the appliance will start to make drip coffee only. The espresso maker does not come on.

LENGTH OF WARMING TIME (AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF TIME)

The appliance is factory-set to keep the coffee warm for two hours after startup.

However, this setting can be changed as follows:

1.Press the DRIP COFFEE ON/OFF button (Fig.

4)for about 2 seconds until 0:00 flashes on the display.

2.Modify the time by repeatedly pressing the HOUR button (and also the MIN button if required).

3.After setting the time, wait 5 seconds. When the display stops flashing, the time will be stored. Note: If 0:00 is set, the appliance keeps the coffee hot for an unlimited period.

1-5 CUPS SETTING

To improve extraction and the aroma when making less than 6 cups, press the 1-5 cups selector button (Fig. 5). The 1-5 cups LED will light up.

MAKING DRIP COFFEE

•Lift the cover and remove the water tank (Fig. 6).

•Fill the tank with cold clean water up to the level corresponding to the number of cups of coffee you want to make (Fig. 7).

You can also leave the tank in the appliance and fill using the drip coffee carafe marked with the levels (Fig. 8).

•Replace the tank in the appliance and press it down gently.

•Open the filter-holder by turning it toward the right (Fig. 9) and pulling it out by the handle.

•Position the filter in the filter-holder (Fig. 10).

•Place the ground coffee in the filter using the measuring spoon provided and level evenly (Fig. 11). As a general rule, use one level spoonful of ground coffee (about 7 grams) for each cup (for example, 10 spoonfuls for 10 cups).

However, the quantity of ground coffee used may be varied according to personal taste.

Use good quality medium grind coffee for drip coffee machines.

•Close the filter-holder and place the carafe on the warming plate with the lid on.

•Choose the desired flavor as indicated in the

section “HOW TO CHOOSE THE FLAVOR OF DRIP COFFEE”.

•Press the DRIP COFFEE ON/OFF button (Fig. 12). The indicator light on the button comes on and the appliance starts to make the coffee.

(To make coffee at the programmed time, press the AUTO button (Fig. 3); the AUTO light on the button comes on.)

•The coffee will begin to emerge after a few seconds.

It is completely normal for the appliance to release a little steam while the coffee is brewing.

To keep the coffee hot after brewing, set the carafe on the warming plate and leave the appliance on (drip coffee indicator light on). The coffee in the carafe is kept at the right temperature.

•To turn the appliance off, press the DRIP COFFEE ON/OFF button.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE FLAVOR OF DRIP COFFEE

The coffee machine has a “flavor savor” channel inside the drip coffee filter-holder that increases the coffee infusion time, improving extraction. The resulting coffee has a full and intense flavor.

You can set the machine to make coffee with a strong (STRONG position) or light (LIGHT position) aftertaste by turning the AccuFlavor System knob (Fig. 13).

The AccuFlavor System only changes the strength of the aftertaste of the coffee, while the actual flavor remains unaltered.

HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE

1.Unscrew the boiler cap by turning it counter- clockwise.

2.Fill the small carafe for espresso with the quantity of water (Fig. 14) corresponding to the number of cups you want to make, using the marks on the WATER LEVEL side of the carafe (see the table at the end of the instructions).

3.Pour the water into the boiler (Fig. 15).

4.Close the boiler cap by turning it firmly clockwise.

5.Place the filter for espresso coffee into the filter- holder (Fig. 16).

6.Fill the filter with ground coffee according to the quantity shown in the table at the end of the instructions and distribute evenly without pressing down (Fig. 17).

It is important to use top quality medium grind coffee to avoid blocking the filter while the coffee is being dispensed.
