•Place the ground coffee in the filter, using the measuring spoon supplied, and level evenly (Fig. 8). As a general rule, use a level measuring spoon of ground coffee (around 7 grams) for each cup (for example, 12 spoons to make 12 cups).The quantity of ground coffee used may, however, be varied according to per- sonal taste. Use good quality, medium ground coffee, packaged for drip coffee makers.

•Close the filter holder door and place the jug, with the lid on, on the warming plate, make sure it is placed in the centre.

•Choose the desired flavour as indicated in the paragraph "How to choose the flavour".

•Press the "ON/OFF" switch (Fig. 9).The ON pilot light above the switch indicates that the coffee maker is in operation.

•In the models with the 6/12 cup switch “ “ for drip coffee, if more than six cups are required, press the 6/12 cup switch “ “

(Fig. 10), and the corresponding pilot light will come on. If, on the other hand, less than six cups are required, do not press the switch. In this way, the hot water will flow more slowly through the ground coffee, with better results.

•The coffee will start to come out after a few seconds. It is completely normal for the appliance to release a little steam while the coffee is percolating.

•If the “ON/OFF” switch is left in the ON position after percola- tion, the warming plate will keep the coffee at the ideal temper- ature.

NB. In models fitted with a rotating base, the coffee maker can be turned to the right or the left for easier access to the water tank. (Fig.11).

HOW TO CHOOSE THE FLAVOUR OF THE DRIP COFFEE

With the Flavour System, the flavour of the drip coffee can be chosen according to personal taste.

By turning the flavour adjustment knob (Fig. 12), the coffee maker can be set for coffee with a strong (STRONG position) or light aftertaste (LIGHT position).

The Flavour System changes the strength of the aftertaste of the coffee, while the actual taste remains the same.

WARNING: the first time coffee is prepared, all the accessories and internal circuits of the machine must be washed as follows:

Make at least two jugs of coffee without using ground coffee (fol- lowing the instructions in the paragraph How to prepare the drip coffee).
