USEFUL TIPS FOR PREAPARING A GOOD ITALIAN ESPRESSO
The ground coffee in the fi lter holder has to be pressed lightly. Whether the coffee is stronger or weaker
depends on the degree the coffee is ground, the quantity put into the fi lter holder and the pressing. Just
a few seconds are needed for the coffee to fl ow down into the cups. If the dispensing time is longer, this
means that the coffee is ground too fi ne or that the coffee put into the fi lter holder has been pressed
too much.
HOW TO MAKE DRIP COFFEE
Manual mode
• Open the upper lid (7) and (8).
• Check the proper water level in the tank (7) and, if need be, fi ll with fresh still water. The reference
marks of the carafe (2) and the water tank (6) are intended to make drip coffee, even though the di-
spensed coffee level is slightly lower than the fi lled water level as ground coffee absorbs some water.
The use of paper fi lter is recommended for a deeper cleaning of the components.
• Lift the hot water pour nozzle (27) (Fig.6)
• Position the paper fi lter onto the fi lter (9) by adapting it on the rim.
• Pour the ground coffee into the fi lter.
Initially the use of a measuring spoon of ground coffee is recommended for a stronger coffee,
then the amount of coffee to be used will suit your own taste. Besides an overly ground coffee is
not recommended as it could obstruct water fl ow while dispensing.
• Lower the hot water pour nozzle (27) (Fig.6)
• Close the upper lid (7) and (8).
• Place the carafe (2) onto the hotplate (4).
Make sure the dispenser (11) of the fi lter support (10) is aligned with the hole situated on the
carafe lid (Fig. 7) in order to avoid coffee leakage.
• Press the button (E) "AUTO/CAFFE' " twice to start the manual mode.
• Stop dispensing by pressing the button (E) "AUTO/CAFFE' " again once the required amount has been
reached.
If the carafe is removed before the end of dispensing process to pour a cup of coffee , be careful
to put it back under the dispenser (11) within 30 seconds to avoid hot water or coffee leaks.
Automatic mode
• Once having carried out the fi lling procedures of water and coffee and the proper positioning of the
carafe, as described in the manual mode, proceed as follows:
• Press the button (E) "AUTO/CAFFE' " once to start the "Auto Start" function. The LCD display (24)
lights up and shows the duration of the function "Heating plate heat maintaining" (A) for 5 seconds.
• Press the button "PROG"(F) to check the automatic mode activation time setting.
