HOW TO MAKE DRIP COFFEE

HOW TO SET THE CLOCK

When the coffee machine is connected to the outlet for the first time, the numbers 0:00 will flash on the display.

To set the time, proceed as follows:

1.Press the "HOUR" button (fig. 2) for about 2 seconds until the number of hours on the display increases;

2.Before the display stops flashing (about 5 seconds), set the time required by repeatedly pressing the HOUR button.

3.Set the minutes by repeatedly pressing the MIN button (to speed up the operation, hold the button down).

4.After setting the hour, wait 5 seconds. When the display stops flashing, the hour programmed is memorized.

To reset the hour, press the HOUR button for about 2 seconds then follow the procedure described in point 2. The hour set will not be retained in the memory in the event of temporary power failure.

PROGRAMMING AUTOMATIC START-UP.

You can program the appliance to prepare drip coffee automatically.

Make sure the time is set correctly. To set delayed start- up (the time you want to make the coffee), proceed as follows:

1.Press the "AUTO" button (fig. 3) for about 2 seconds until 0:00 flashes on the display;

2.Before the display stops flashing (about 5 seconds), set the time required by repeatedly pressing the HOUR button.

3.Set the minutes by repeatedly pressing the MIN button.

4.After 5 seconds, the display will stop flashing and the programmed time will be memorized;

5.After programming the appliance, to obtain coffee at the time set, just press the AUTO button. The indicator light on the button will come on.

If you want to change the delayed start up time set, press the AUTO button for about 2 seconds then set a new time as described in point 2.

Bear in mind that at the time set, the appliance will start to make drip coffee only. The espresso function will not start.

LENGTH OF WARMING TIME (AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF TIME)

The appliance is programmed by the manufacturer to keep the coffee hot for two hours after start-up. However, this setting can be changed as follows:

1.Press the coffee "ON/OFF" button (fig. 4) for about 2 seconds until 0:00 flashes on the display;

2.Modify the time required 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 memorized: Note: If 0:00 is set, the appliance keeps the coffee hot for an unlimited period of time.

SETTING 1 – 5 CUPS

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

PREPARING DRIP COFFEE

•Lift the cover and remove the water tank on the right (fig. 6).

•Fill the tank with fresh clean water up to the mark corresponding to the number of cups of coffee to be prepared, taking care not to exceed the MAX level (fig. 7).

•Replace the tank in the appliance, pressing lightly to open the valve on the bottom of the tank. The tank may also be filled without being removed using the drip coffee carafe marked with the level indicators (fig. 8).

•Open the filter holder by rotating towards the right (fig. 9).

•Position the permanent platinum filter or the paper filter in the filter holder (fig. 10).

•Place the ground coffee in the filter, using the measuring spoon supplied, and level evenly (Fig. 11).

According to coffee industry standards, use one standard coffee measure (2 level tablespoons) of coffee grounds for each six ounces of water.

The quantity of ground coffee used may, however, be varied according to personal taste. Use good quality, medium ground 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 paragraph "HOW TO CHOOSE THE FLAVOR OF DRIP COFFEE".

Note: The coffee machine features a "Flavor Savor" device inside the drip coffee filter holder. This increases coffee infusion time to improve extraction. The resulting coffee has a full intense flavor.
