Customising the "MY COFFEE" quantity

The appliance is factory preset to automatically deliver 30ml.

1. Place a cup under the coffee spouts ( fig. 6).

2. Turn the selection knob (B6) until the light comes on.

3. Press the 1 cup button for at least 8 seconds (fig. 7). The message "1 MY COFFEE

Programme Quantity" is displayed and coffee delivery begins;

4. As soon as the coffee in the cup reaches the required level, press the 1 cup button again.

The quantity set has now been programmed.

Regulating the coffee mill

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

However, if after making the first few coffees you find that delivery is either too fast or too slow (in drops), this can be corrected by regulating the grinding adjustment knob (fig. 8).

For slower coffee delivery and a creamier coffee, turn one click towards "1" (finer ground coffee).

For more rapid coffee delivery (not in drops), turn one click towards

"7" (coarser ground coffee).

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

NB! The grinding coarseness regulator must only be turned when the coffee mill is in operation.

Making coffee using coffee beans

Important! Do not use caramelised 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.

9).

2. Place under the coffee spouts:

- 1 cup, if you want 1 coffee (fig. 6);

- 2 cups, if you want 2 coffees.

GB

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 or 2 cups ) (fig. 7 and 11).

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.

• As soon as delivery is finished, to increase the quantity of coffee in the cup, just hold down one of the coffee buttons ( or ) until the required amount is reached (this must be done within three seconds after completion of delivery).

• If the coffee is delivered in drops, too fast and not creamy enough or too cold, read the tips in the "Troubleshooting" section on page 39.

Making coffee using pre-ground coffee

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

1. Press the button repeatedly (fig. 13) until "READY Pre-Ground" is displayed and the light flashes.

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 coffee button (fig. 7).

FROTHING THE MILK FOR

CAPPUCCINO (AND HEATING

LIQUIDS)

The steam can be used to froth milk and heat liquids.

3. Press the button (fig. 1). The appliance heats up and "Please Wait..." is displayed.

When the appliance reaches the ideal temperature, it begins producing steam and

"Steam..." is displayed. Interrupt by pressing the same button again.

4. Empty the container and fill with about 100 grams of milk for each cappuccino to be prepared. In choosing the size of the container, bear in mind that the milk doubles or triples in volume.

You are recommended to use semi-skimmed milk at refrigerator temperature.

5. If the cappuccino maker fitted to your model has a double position ring, turn the ring* to the CAPPUCCINO position (fig. 15). If on the other hand you want hot milk, turn the ring to the "MILK" position.

5. Immerse the cappuccino maker in the milk container (fig. 16). Take care not to immerse the black ring or the raised line on the cappuccino maker.

6. Press the button. Steam is discharged from the cappuccino maker, giving the milk a creamy frothy appearance.

32


NB! To obtain a creamier froth, immerse the cappuccino maker in the milk and rotate the container with slow upward movements.

You should not deliver steam for more than 3 minutes at a time.

7. When the required froth is obtained, interrupt steam delivery by pressing the button.

Important! Danger of burns

Stop steam delivery before removing the container with the frothed milk to avoid burns caused by splashes of boiling milk.

8. Add the milk froth to the coffee prepared previously. The cappuccino is ready. Sweeten to taste and, if desired, sprinkle the froth with a little cocoa powder.

Cleaning the cappuccino maker after use.

Clean the cappuccino maker each time you use it to avoid the build-up of milk residues or blockages.

Important! Danger of burns When cleaning the cappuccino maker, a little hot water comes out. Avoid contact with splashes of water.

1. Flow off a little water or steam for a few seconds by pressing the button.

Press the button again to stop the flow of steam/hot water.

2. Wait for a few minutes for the cappuccino maker to cool down, hold the handle of the cappuccino tube in one hand and with the other rotate the cappuccino maker anticlockwise (fig. 17) then remove by pulling downwards.

3. Remove the ring upwards (fig. 18 - certain models only).

4. Wash all parts of the cappuccino maker thoroughly with warm water.

5. Make sure the two holes shown by the arrow in fig. 19 are not blocked. If necessary, clean with a pin.

6. Replace the inner section by inserting it carefully onto the adjustable tube, then insert the steam nozzle and turn anticlockwise to lock it in place.

33


HEATING WATER

Preparation

Important! Danger of burns. Never leave the machine unsupervised while delivering hot water. Stop delivery of hot water as described below when the cup is full. The hot water spout becomes hot while water is being delivered and must be held by the handle only.

• Do not use metal objects to remove encrustations or coffee deposits as they could scratch metal or plastic surfaces.

Emptying the drip tray

Important! If the drip tray (A11) is not emptied regularly, the water could overflow from the edge and seep inside or around the machine. This could damage the machine, the surface it rests on or the surrounding area.

The drip tray has a water level indicator in the form of a red float which rises up as the level of water in the drip tray rises.

Empty the drip tray before the red float protrudes from the tray (fig. 20).

To remove the tray:

1. Open the service door (fig. 21);

2. Remove the drip tray and the grounds container (Fig. 22);

3. Empty the drip tray and grounds container

(A9);

4. Replace the drip tray complete with grounds container (A9);

5. Close the service door.

Cleaning the coffee maker

The following parts of the machine must be cleaned regularly:

- water tank (A7),

- drip tray (A11),

- coffee grounds container (A9),

- coffee spouts (A14) and hot water/cappuccino maker nozzle (A15),

- pre-ground coffee feed funnel (A4),

- inside the machine, accessible after opening the service door (A12),

Cleaning the water tank

1. Clean the water tank (A7) regularly (about once a month) with a damp cloth and a little mild washing up liquid.

2. Clean to remove all washing up liquid residues, then rinse the water tank thoroughly.

Cleaning the drip tray

• Clean the drip tray (A11) each time you empty it using a damp cloth and a little mild washing up liquid.

Cleaning the coffee grounds container

1. Clean the grounds container (A9) each time you empty it using a damp cloth and a little mild washing up liquid.

2. Try removing the toughest coffee encrustations with a toothpick. If this is not sufficient, soften the encrustations by soaking the grounds container in water for a few minutes.

Cleaning the spouts

1. Clean the coffee spout (A14), ideally each time you use the coffee maker, with a sponge or cloth (fig. 23).

2. Check regularly (about once a month) that the holes in the coffee spout (A14) are not blocked. If necessary, remove coffee deposits with a toothpick (fig. 24), sponge or stiff bristled kitchen brush.

Cleaning the coffee feed funnel

• Check regularly (about once a month ) that the pre-ground coffee funnel is not blocked. If necessary, remove coffee deposits with a kitchen knife.

Cleaning the inside of the machine

1. Check regularly (about once a week) that the inside of the machine is not dirty.

If necessary, remove coffee deposits with a toothpick, sponge or stiff bristled kitchen brush.
