Preparing coffee using coffee beans

Preparing coffee using coffee beans

Important! Do not use caramelized or

candied coffee beans as they could stick to the coffee mill and make it unusable.

1.Fill the container (A3) with coffee beans (fig. 8).

2.Place under the coffee spouts:

-1 cup, if you want to make 1 coffee (fig. 9);

-2 cups, if you want 2 coffees.

3.Lower the spouts as near as possible to the cup. This makes a creamier coffee (fig. 10).

4.Press the corresponding coffee button (1 cup

5.Preparation begins. A progress bar appears

on the display and gradually advances as the procedure progresses (fig. 12).

Once the coffee has been made, the appliance is ready to use again.

Manual background NB!

While the machine is making coffee, run-off can be interrupted at any moment by pressing

one of the coffee buttons ( Manual background orManual backgroundManual background ).

As soon as run-off is finished, to increase the quantity of coffee in the cup, just hold down

one of the coffee buttons ( Manual background or Manual backgroundManual background ) until the required amount is reached (this must be done within three seconds after completion of run-off).

If the coffee drips out, or runs out too fast with little crema or too cold, read the tips in the "Troubleshooting" section on page 23.

Making coffee using pre-ground coffee

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

1. Press the Manual backgroundManual backgroundManual background button repeatedly (fig. 13)

until "READY PRE-GROUND" is displayed.

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 appliance.

Never use more than one level

measure or it could dirty the inside of the machine or block the funnel.

2.Put one level measure of pre-ground coffee into the funnel (fig. 14).

3.Place a cup under the coffee spouts.

4.Press the 1 cup Manual background coffee button (fig. 6).

Regulating the coffee mill

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

However, if after making the first few coffees you find that run-off is either too fast or too slow (drips), this can be corrected by adjusting the grinding coarseness regulator knob (fig. 7).

For slower run-off and creamier coffee, turn one click towards the "1"

(finer ground coffee).

For faster run-off (with-

out dripping, turn one

click towards the "7"

(coarser ground cof- fee).

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

Manual background NB! The grinding coarseness regulator must only be turned when the coffee mill is in operation (After coffee button has been pressed and you hear the grinder working.) Only adjust grinder one setting at a time.
