Every user will be free to program the doses to obtain a more or less strong coffee and to assign bigger or smaller doses to buttons (2 and 3) to use 1 or 2 cup filter.

(6) again to exit from the programming fun- ction. The symbols placed under the buttons will re-start lighting up alternatively.

The appliance is now ready to dispense excellent coffees.

N.B.: to brew 1 coffee press button (2 or 3) once; to brew 2 coffees press button (2 or 3) twice.

Pre-Infusion

The machine allows you to adjust the dosage settings so that the water produced for the COF- FEE dose is preceded by a pre-infusion step.

Press the dose button (2) and the normal coffee cycle is preceded by a brief, timed jet of water that moistens the coffee wafer before the actual coffee making cycle starts.

This function allows you to get the most flavor out of the coffee wafer.

PRE-INFUSIONis not available on the dose button (3).

N.B.: the machine comes from the factory with PRE-INFUSION function set to ON. Should you choose to deactivate this function you will need to enter the programming mode (see “Coffee dose programming”) and press the hot water supply button (4). The indicator light on the button will turn off.

The indicator light on the hot water supply button (4) is ON when the PRE-INFUSION function is ON. Vice versa, if the indicator light is OFF, then the PRE-INFUSION function is OFF.

Coffee preparation

1Follow the procedure described under “Pre- paration”.

2Select the correct filter basket (10 or 11) and insert it in the filter holder (9).

ENGLISH

Use the small filter for 1 cup and the large filter for 2 cups of espresso.

Then insert filter-holder (9) into the appliance and wait at least 10 minutes.

3After the warm-up period, remove the warm filter-holder (9) from the brewing head and fill with correctly ground espresso coffee using the measuring spoon provided.

Place one level measure of coffee in basket for each cup of espresso. Do not overfill. Gently tamp down coffee with the tamper (18) provided. Do not compress too firmly.

4Clean any excess coffee from the rim of filter holder (9). Insert filter holder into brew head by holding handle approximately 45 degrees to the left as you face machine. When properly aligned,move handle firmly to the right to lock into position.

The handle should point to the front of the machine or slightly to the right.

5Place one or two espresso cups on the drip plate to line up with the spouts of the filter holder. Press the button corresponding to the stored coffee dose. Espresso will start to flow into cups.

6The coffee dispensing will automatically stop when the preset level is reached (see Coffee dose programming);however it is possi- ble to stop the coffee dispensing by pressing the button (2 or 3) as previously selected.

When properly made, the espresso will have a light brown foam “crema” floating on the top.

If not, refer to “In the event of faulty function”.

7Remove cups and serve.

8To make more espresso, carefully and slowly remove the filter holder by moving handle to the left. Be careful as hot water will be on top of the coffee grinds in the holder. Some wa- ter will continue to drip from brewing head as filter holder is removed. That is normal and due to the pump pressure in the system.

Knock out used coffee grinds from filter. For more espresso repeat steps 2 to 7 above.

9To prepare coffee manually, carry out steps 2 through 5 and then press button 6. When you have obtained the desired quantity of coffee in the cup, press button 6 again to stop the cycle. Then proceed with steps 6 and 7.

N.B.: Dispensing should not exceed 40 seconds.
