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.
