level.

PREHEATING

THE

COFFEE

MACHINE

To

obtain

espresso

coffee

at

the

right

temperature,

the

coffee

maker

must

be

preheated.

So

we

suggesto

to

turn

the

selector

knob

to

the

-W-position

(fig.

4)

at

least

half

an

hour

before

making

the

coffee,

making

sure

the

filter

holder

is

attached

to

the

appliance

(check

that

the

steam

release

knob

is

closed).

To

attach

the

filter

holder,

place

it

under

the

boiler

outlet

with

the

handle

towards

the

left

(fig.

5).

Push

upwards

and

at

the

same

time

turn

the

handle

as

far

to

the

right

as

possible.

To

avoid

leaks

of

water,

rotate

firmly.

After

half

an

hour,

make

coffee

following

the

instructions

of

the

next

paragraph.

Alternatively,

for

a

faster

operation,

proceed

as

follows:

1.Turn

the

selector

knob

so

that

the

indented

line

an

the

selector

knob

points

to

the

boiler

on

function

-W-

(fi

g

.

4).

Attach

the

empty

filter

holder

(without

coffee)

to

the

machine

2.Position

a

cup

under

the

filter

holder.

Use

the

same

cup

that

the

coffee

will

be

served

in,

so

that

it

may

be

preheated.

3

Wait

until

the

orange

"OK"

light

comes

on

(fig

6)

and

turn

the

selector

knob

to

the

espresso

function

position

(fig

7).

Allow

water

to

flow

until

the

orange

"OK"

light

goes

out,

then

stop

the

flow

of

water

by

turning

the

selector

knob

to

the

bailer

on

function

(fig

Empty

the

cup,

wait

until

the

"OK"

pilot

light

comes

on

again

and

repeat

the

whole

operation

one

more

time.

(It

is

normal

for

a

small

and

harmless

puff

of

steam

to

be

given

off

when

removing

the

filter

holder).

HOW

.

After

preheating

the

appliance

as

described

in

the

above

paragraph,

insert

the

ground

coffee

filter

with

frother

into

the

filter

holder,

making

sure

the

tab

is

correctly

inserted

into

the

housing

as

2.To

prepare

a

single

coffee,

fill

the

filter

with

a

level

measure

of

ground

coffee,

about

7

g

To

prepare

two

coffees,

use

the

filter

and

fill

with

two

loosely

filled

measures

of

ground

coffee

(about

6+6

g).

Fill

the

filter

uniformly

and

press

it

lightly

However

if

slowly

and

cream

will

be

.

of

a

dark

colour,

if

you

press

to

light,

coffee

will

come

out

too

fast

and

cream

will

be

a

very

light

color.

3.

Remove

any

excess

coffee

from

the

rim

of

the

filter

holder

and

attach

the

filter

holder

to

the

appliance.

Rotate

leaks

of

water.

4.Place

drip

tray

(fig

11).

Ensure

that

the

cup

or

cups

line

up

with

the

dispensing

holes

on

the

filter

holder.

5

Wait

until

the

"OK"

turn

the

selectoor

to

the

-w-position.

&To

holder

while

the

machine

is

dispensing

coffee.

7.To

remove

the

used

coffee,

bold

the

filter

locked

with

the

special

lever

that

is

built

into

the

handle

and

let

the

coffee

fall

out

by

knocking

the

overturned

filter

holder

(Fig.

12).

8.

off

the

coffee

machine,

turn

all

of

the

accessories

and

the

internal

circuits

of

the

machine,

preparing
