•Press the DRIP COFFEE ON/OFF button (fig. 4). The ON indicator light on the button comes on and the appliance starts to make the coffee. (To make the coffee at the programmed time, press the AUTO button (fig. 3) and the AUTO light on the button comes on.
•Delivery of coffee will start after a few seconds.
It is completely normal for the appliance to release a little steam while the coffee is percolating.
To keep the coffee hot after percolation, place the carafe on the hot plate and leave the appliance on (drip coffee indicator 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 THE DRIP COFFEE
With the AccuFlavor System, the flavor of the drip coffee can be chosen according to personal taste. By turning the AccuFlavor selector knob (fig. 12), the coffee machine can be set for coffee with a strong (STRONG position) or light (LIGHT position) taste.
The AccuFlavor Selector changes the strength of the coffee.
HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO
FILLING THE WATER TANK
Lift the cover and remove the water tank on the left (fig.
13)by pulling it upwards. Fill the tank with cold clean water. Replace the tank, pressing lightly to open the valve located on the bottom of the tank.
The tank can also be filled without removing it, pouring the water directly from a carafe.
Note: Never use the appliance without water in the tank. Always remember to add more water when the level drops to less than an inch from the bottom.
PREHEATING THE COFFEE UNIT
To obtain espresso at the right temperature, the coffee machine must be preheated. Turn the selector knob to
the 
position (fig. 14) at least half an hour before making the espresso, making sure the filter holder is attached to the appliance (check that the steam knob is closed). To attach the filter holder, position it under the boiler outlet with the handle towards the left (fig. 15), push it upwards and at the same time rotate the handle towards the right. Rotate firmly. Wait for half an hour, then make the espresso as described in the following chapter.
Alternatively, preheating can be achieved more rapidly proceeding as follows:
1.Turn the appliance on by rotating the selector knob to
the 
position (fig. 14) and attach the filter holder to the appliance without adding ground coffee.
2.Place a cup under the filter holder. Use the same cup as will be used to prepare the coffee in order to preheat it.
3.Wait for the OK indicator light to come on (fig. 16), then immediately rotate the selector knob to the 
position (fig. 17), run the water off until the OK indicator light goes out, then interrupt delivery by rotating the selector knob to the
position (fig. 14).
4.Empty the cup. Wait until the OK indicator light comes on again then repeat the same operation.
(It is normal for a small and harmless puff of steam to be given off when removing the filter holder).
HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO USING THE FILTER HOLDER FOR GROUND COFFEE
1.After preheating the appliance as described in the paragraph above, place the ground coffee filter in the filter holder, making sure the tab is correctly inserted in the housing as shown in fig. 18.
2.To prepare a single espresso, fill the filter with a level measure of ground coffee, about 7 grams (fig. 19). To prepare two coffees, use the filter and fill with two loosely filled measures of ground coffee (about 6+6 grams). Fill the filter a little at a time to prevent the
ground coffee from overflowing.
IMPORTANT: For correct operation, before adding the ground coffee to the filter holder, clean the filter from residues of ground coffee from the previous infusion.
Note: Use top quality
3.Distribute the ground coffee evenly and press lightly with the tamper (fig. 20).
Note: Correct pressing of the ground coffee is essential to obtain a good espresso. If pressing is excessive, coffee delivery will be slow and the froth will be dark. If pressing is too light, coffee delivery will be too rapid and the froth will be thin and light colored.
4.Remove any excess coffee from the rim of the filter holder and attach the filter holder to the appliance. Rotate firmly (fig. 15) to avoid leaks of water.
5.Place the cup or cups (ideally preheated by rinsing with a little hot water) under the filter holder spouts (fig. 21).
6.Make sure the espresso OK indicator light (fig. 16) is on (if off, wait until it comes on), then select 
(fig.
17)until the required quantity is obtained. To
interrupt, place the selector back in the 
position (fig. 14).
