2.Place under the coffee dispensing spouts, either:

4.Press the button corresponding to the number of coffees

required (1 cup or 2 cups , figs. 11 and 16).

While the machine is making coffee, delivery can be inter- rupted at any moment by pressing any button.

At the end of delivery, to increase the quantity of coffee in the cup, just press (within 3 seconds) one of the coffee

buttons ( or ).

Once the coffee has been made, the appliance is ready to make the next drink.

Various alarm messages could be displayed while using the machine (FILL TANK, EMPTY GROUNDS CONTAINER, etc.). Their meaning is explained in the section “Displayed messages” (page 20).

For hotter coffee, see the section “Tips for a hotter coffee” (page 12).

If the coffee is delivered a drop at a time, too weak and not creamy enough or too cold, read the tips in the “Trouble- shooting” section on page 21.

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 appliance.

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) repeatedly until “Pre- ground” is displayed.

2.Open the beans container lid; then open the pre-ground coffee funnel lid by pushing on PUSH and, once released, open the lid.

3.Make sure the funnel is not blocked, then add one level measure of pre-ground coffee (fig. 17).

4.Place a cup under the coffee spouts.

5.Press the 1 cup coffee button (fig. 11).

6.Preparation begins. The amount of coffee selected is dis- played together with a progress bar which gradually fills as preparation progresses.

Please note!

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

MAKING DRINKS WITH MILK

Please note!

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

Filling and attaching the milk container

1.Remove the lid (fig. 18);

2.Fill the milk container with a sufficient quantity of milk, not exceeding the MAX level marked on the container (fig. 19). 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).

If “energy saving” mode is enabled, you may have to wait a few seconds before the first cappuccino is delivered.

3.Make sure the milk intake tube is correctly inserted in the bottom of the milk container lid (fig. 20).

4.Place the lid back on the milk container.

5.Remove the hot water spout from the nozzle, by pressing the button.

6.Attach the container to the nozzle and push as far as it will go (fig. 21). The machine emits a beep (if the beep function is enabled).

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. 22).

8.Follow the instructions below for each function.
