Customising the “my coffee” quantity

The appliance is set by default to automatically deliver 30 ml of “my coffee”.

To modify this quantity, proceed as follows:

1.Place a cup under the coffee spouts (fig. 14).

2.Press the button (fig. 10) until “MY COFFEE” is displayed.

3.Keep the button (fig. 11) pressed until the message “1 MY COFFEE Program quantity” is displayed and coffee

delivery begins. Release the button.

4.As soon as the coffee in the cup reaches the required level,

press the button (fig. 11) again.

The quantity of coffee in the cup has now been programmed.

Adjusting the coffee mill

The coffee mill is preset in the factory to make coffee correctly and should not require adjusting initially.

However, if after making the first few coffees you find that the

coffee is too thin and not creamy enough or that delivery is too slow (a drop at a time), this can be corrected by adjusting the grinding adjustment dial (fig. 12).

Please note!

The grinding adjustment dial must only be turned when the coffee mill is in operation.

If the coffee is delivered too slowly

or not at all, turn one click clockwise

towards “7”.

For fuller bodied creamier coffee on the other hand, turn one click anticlockwise towards “1”(do not turn more than one

click at a time otherwise the coffee could be delivered a drop at a time).

These adjustments will only be evident after at least 2 cups of coffee have been delivered.

If this adjustment does not obtain the desired result, turn the dial another click.

Tips for a hotter coffee

Making coffee using coffee beans

Important!

Do not use caramelised or candied coffee beans as they could stick to the coffee mill and make it unusable.

1.Place coffee beans in the coffee bean container (fig. 13).

2.Place under the coffee dispensing spouts, either:

-1 cup if you want one coffee (fig. 14);

-2 cups if you want 2 coffees.

3.Lower the spouts as near as possible to the cup.This makes a creamier coffee (fig. 15).

4.Press the button corresponding to the number of coffees

required (1 cup

or 2 cups

, figs. 11 and

16).

 

 

5.Preparation begins. The amount of coffee selected is displayed together with a progress bar which gradually fills as preparation progresses.
