Making coffee using pre-ground coffee

Important!

Never add pre-ground coffee when the machine is off or it could spread

through the inside of the machine and dirty it. This could damage the ap- pliance.

Never use more than 1 level measure or it could dirty the inside of the coffee maker or block the funnel.

Please note!

If you use pre-ground coffee, you can only make one cup of coffee at a time.

1.Press the button (fig. 7) until “Pre- ground” is displayed.

2.Make sure the funnel is not blocked, then add one level measure of pre-ground coffee (fig. 14).

3.Place a cup under the coffee spouts.

4.Press the 1 cup coffee button (fig. 9).

5.Preparation begins. The amount of coffee se- lected is displayed together with a progress bar which gradually fills as preparation pro- gresses.

Please note!

If “Energy Saving” mode is active, you may have to wait a few seconds before the first coffee is delivered.

MAKING DRINKS WITH MILK

Filling and attaching the milk container

1.Remove the lid (fig. 15);

2.Fill the milk container with a sufficient quan- tity of milk, not exceeding the MAX level marked on the container (fig. 16). Each mark on the side of the container corresponds to 100 ml of milk.

Please note!

For a denser more even froth, you should use skimmed or partially skimmed milk at refrigerator temperature (about 5°C).

To avoid producing milk with poor froth or large bubbles, always clean the milk lid and hot water nozzle as described in the section “Cleaning the milk container” on pages 15 and 17.

3.Make sure the milk intake tube is correctly inserted in the bottom of the milk container lid (fig. 17).

4.Place the lid back on the milk container.

5.Remove the hot water spout from the nozzle (fig. 18).

6.Attach the container to the nozzle and push as far as it will go (fig. 19). The machine emits a beep.

7.Place a sufficiently large cup under the coffee and frothed milk spouts. Adjust the length of the milk spout. To move it nearer the cup, simply pull it downwards (fig. 20).

8.Follow the instructions below for each fun- ction.

Making cappuccino or macchiato

1.After attaching the milk container, turn the froth adjustment knob on the milk container

lid between position 2 and 3 (fig. 21).

2.Press the CAPPUCCINO button. “CAPPUCCI- NO” is displayed, together with a progress bar which fills gradually as preparation pro- ceeds. If the froth is not satisfactory, turn the

froth adjustment knob towards 2 (= less

froth) or towards 3 (= more froth).

3.After delivering the frothed milk, the machine automatically makes the coffee.
