• To load the circuit, position the steam tube (15) over the drip tray. Turn the knob (17) counterclockwise and wait until water flows out smoothly from the steam tube; to cut off flow, turn the knob (17) clockwise.

Note: Before starting up for the first time, if the machine has been inoperative for a lengthy period or the water container has been completely emptied, it is advisable to load the

circuit.

•Once you have completed the above operations, the machine is ready for use.

•Carefully follow the directions below to dispense coffee, hot water, or steam, and ensure proper use of the machine.

The quality and flavour of your coffee will depend not only on the blend you use but also on how finely you grind it.

The machine has a knob (3) for adjusting the grind. To adjust the grind, turn the graduated knob while the grinder is operating; the numbers on the knob indicate the fineness of the grind.

Every machine is factory-regulated to a medium-sized grind; turn the knob to higher numbers to obtain a coarser grind, turn the knob to lower numbers to obtain a finer grind.

The variation in the fineness of the grind will be noted only after three or four coffees have been dispensed.

Use blends of coffee beans specifically for espresso machines.

Avoid using extreme grinding settings (e.g. 1 - 16); if you do use them, also use different blends of coffee. Store coffee in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.

You should adjust the fineness of the grind when the coffee is not dispensed properly:

Coffee pours out too fast = excessively coarse grind > Set the knob on lower numbers;

Coffee drips out slowly and/or not at all = excessively fine grind > Set the knob on higher numbers.

Warning! The grinder adjustment knob inside the coffee container must be turned only while the coffee grinder is operating. Do not introduce

ground and/or freeze-dried coffee into the coffee bean container.

It is strictly forbidden to introduce any material other than coffee beans. The coffee grinder contains moving parts that may be hazardous; do not place your fingers and/or other objects inside the grinder. Before performing any kind of operation inside the coffee container, switch off the machine and unplug it. Do not add coffee beans while the

grinder is operating.

6DOSE ADJUSTMENT

The machine allows you to adjust the amount of coffee (dose) to be ground according to your requirements.

The manufacturer has set a standard dose that satisfies most needs: notch (A) corresponding to reference point (B).

Turn the knob (4) inside the coffee container counter- clockwise to increase the dose of ground coffee; turn it clockwise to reduce the dose of ground coffee.

The dose must be adjusted before pressing the button to dispense coffee.

This system makes it possible to obtain optimal coffee with all types of commercially available coffee.
