HOW TO SET THE TIMER

Make sure that the clock has been set correctly.

To set the timer for delayed activation (to turn on the coffee maker at the time that you want the cof- fee to be made), proceed as follows:

1.To set the hour, press the PROG button and simultaneously repeatedly press the HOUR but- ton.

2.To set the minutes, press the PROG button and simultaneously repeatedly press the MIN button.

Note: the coffee maker will automatically begin making coffee at the set hour, but will not turn on the hot water generator for espresso coffee.

HOW TO PREPARE THE COFFEE FILTER

•Raise the lid and remove the water tank (fig. 3).

•Fill the tank with cold, clean water, up to the level indicated on the tank corresponding to the number of cups of coffee that are desired (fig. 4).

•Reinsert the tank into the machine by pressing it slightly. If desired, the tank can be left in its place and to fill it, the drip coffee pot can be used which also has the level indicators on it (fig. 5).

•Open the filter holder by turning it towards the left (fig. 6).

•Place the permanent filter into the filter holder (fig. 7).

•Put the ground coffee into the filter by using the measuring spoon included with the machine and level off the grounds uniformly (fig. 8). As a general rule, use one level measuring spoon- ful of coffee (about 7 grams) for each cup of coffee (for example, use 10 measures to make 10 cups of coffee). In any case, the quantity of ground coffee to use can vary according to the strength desired and personal taste. Use high quality ground coffee, with a medium grind and the kind packaged especially for drip cof- fee makers.

•Close the filter holder and place the pot, with its lid inserted, onto the hot plate.

•Select the aroma desired as indicated in the paragraph “How to select the aroma”.

•If you wish to turn the coffee maker on imme-

diately, press the DRIP/AUTO button twice

(fig. 9) and the ON DRIP pilot light will come on. Alternatively, if you wish the appli- ance to turn on after a certain delay, press the DRIP/AUTO button just once; the word PROG will appear in the top left-hand corner of the display and the coffee maker will automatical- ly turn on at the time set (as described in the “HOW TO SET THE TIMER” section).

•If more than five cups of coffee are desired,

press the switch ( 10 5 ) (fig. 10) and the 5/10 cup warning light will light up. If, on the other hand, five or fewer cups of cof- fee are desired, the switch should not be pressed. In this way, the hot water will flow more slowly through the ground coffee and a more flavorful beverage will be obtained.

•The brewed coffee will begin to drip out after a few seconds. It is completely normal that during the percolation of the coffee, some steam may escape from the machine.

•If the DRIP/AUTO button (fig. 9) is left pressed after percolation, and the container is standing on the heating plate, the coffee will be kept at the ideal temperature.

HOW TO SELECT THE AROMA OF THE FILTER COFFEE

With the ACCUFLAVOR , it is possible to select the aroma of the filter coffee depending on personal taste. By turning the aroma regulation knob of the coffee filter (fig. 11), the coffee machine can be programmed for a strong aftertaste (STRONG position) or a lighter flavor (LIGHT position).

The ACCUFLAVOR feature changes the aftertaste of the coffee, more or less strong, while the true taste of the coffee remains unchanged.

HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE

1.Unscrew the plug of the hot water heater tank by turning it in a counter-clockwise direction.

2.Fill the small container for espresso coffee with the quantity of water indicated in the table at the end of the text and in accordance with the number of cups of espresso that you wish to make (fig. 12).

3.Pour the water into the hot water heater tank (fig. 13).
