Please note: If 0:00 is set, the appliance switches off. (You can set a time within 1 minute and 11 hours and 59 minutes).

7.4 "1-4" cups button

You can enhance the flavor of your coffee by pressing the "1-4" button after the "ON/OFF" button. This feature activates a unique brewing process, slowly releasing water into the filter basket; saturating coffee grounds a little at a time extracting the best flavor and aroma from your coffee.

To activate, press the "1-4" button (fig. 6); the light on the button will illuminate.

Press the button again to turn the selection off.

Do not use this button if brewing an entire carafe of coffee.

You can select this function even when using the auto function.

7.5 Making drip coffee

• Open the filter-holder door, rotating it towards the right (fig. 7).
• Fill the carafe to the level indicator relative to number of cups of coffee you wish to prepare, taking care not to exceed the MAX level of 10 cups (fig. 8), otherwise, in order to not overfill the machine, the excess water will spill out from the back of the unit.
• Then pour the water into the water-fill compartment of the appliance (fig. 9).
• Position the gold tone filter into the filter-holder (fig. 10).
• Put the ground coffee in the filter using the measuring spoon supplied and level it off evenly (fig. 11). As a general rule, use a level measure of coffee (approx 7 grams) for every cup of coffee required (for example, 10 measures to obtain 10 cups).
• Close the filter-holder door and place the carafe, with cover in place, onto the warming plate.
• Press the ON/OFF button. The light on the button indicates that the drip coffee-maker is in operation.
• The coffee will begin to dispense after a short time.

It is perfectly normal for the appliance to emit steam while the coffee is percolating.

To keep the coffee hot after the percolation process has finished, place the carafe on the hot plate and leave the machine turned on (with the drip coffee light on): the coffee in the carafe will be kept at the right temperature.

- To turn off the machine press the ON/OFF switch.

8. ESPRESSO COFFEE

The first time you use the appliance, wash all accessories and rinse the internal circuits by proceeding as though you were making coffee until you have used at least two tanks of water. You can then proceed to make coffee.

8.1 Preheating the coffee unit

To make espresso coffee at the right temperature, the coffee maker should be preheated as follows:

1. Press the ON/OFF switch (fig. 12) to turn the appliance on. The power light (B3) comes on.
2. Insert the filter to the filter holder (fig. 13). Make sure the filter is correctly inserted in the slot. Attach the filter holder with filter to the appliance (fig. 14) without adding pre-ground coffee. Use the smaller filter to make one coffee or the larger filter to make two coffees.
3. Place a cup under the filter holder. Use the same cup as will be used to prepare the coffee in order to preheat it.
4. Wait until the light comes on and immediately afterwards press the button (fig. 15). Continue delivering water until the light goes off, then interrupt delivery by pressing the same button and empty the cup.

(It is normal for a small and harmless puff of steam to be given off when removing the filter holder).

8.2 How to make espresso coffee using pre-ground coffee

1. After preheating the appliance and filter holder as described in the previous paragraph, use the smaller filter to make one coffee or the larger filter to make two coffees.
2. To make just one coffee, place one level measure of pre-ground coffee (about 7 g) in the filter (fig. 16). To prepare two coffees, place two loosely filled measures (about 6+6 g/2+2 tablespoons) of pre-ground coffee in the filter. Fill the filter a little at a time to prevent the pre-ground coffee from overflowing.

Important:

For correct operation, before filling with pre-ground coffee, make sure there are no coffee residues left in the filter from the last time you made coffee.

1. Distribute the pre-ground coffee evenly and press lightly with the tamper (fig. 17).

Correct pressing of the pre-ground coffee is essential to obtain a good espresso. If pressing is excessive, coffee delivery will be slow and the froth will be dark. If pressing is too light, coffee delivery will be too rapid and the froth will be weak and light coloured.

1. Remove any excess coffee from the rim of the filter holder and attach to the appliance. Turn as far as it will go (fig. 14) to avoid water leaking out.
2. Place the cup or cups under the filter holder spouts (fig. 18). You are recommended to warm the cups before making coffee by rinsing them with a little hot water.
3. Make sure the light is on (if off, wait until it comes on), then press the button (fig. 15). When the desired amount of coffee has been delivered, press the same button to interrupt the flow.
4. To remove the filter holder, turn the handle from right to left.

Danger of burns!

To avoid splashes, never remove the filter holder while the appliance is delivering coffee.

1. To dispose of the used coffee, block the filter in place using the lever incorporated in the handle, then empty the grounds by turning the filter holder upside down and tapping it firmly (fig. 19).
2. To turn the appliance off, press the ON/OFF button on the left side of the machine.

How to prepare espresso coffee using pods

1. Preheat the appliance as described in the section "PREHEATING THE COFFEE UNIT", making sure the filter holder is attached. This obtains a hotter coffee.

Please note:

Use pods conforming to the ESE standard, indicated on the pack by the following symbol.

The ESE standard is a system accepted by leading pod producers and enables espresso coffee to be prepared simply and cleanly.

1. Place the small filter in the filter holder, making sure the filter is correctly inserted in the slot as shown in fig. 13.
2. Insert the pod, centering it as far as possible on the filter (fig. 20). Always follow the instructions on the pod pack to position the pod on the filter correctly.
3. Attach the filter holder to the appliance. Always turn as far as it will go (fig. 14).
4. Proceed as in points 5, 6 and 7 in the previous section.

9. HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO OR LATTE

1. Prepare the espresso coffees as described in the previous sections, using sufficiently large cups.
2. Press the button.
3. In the meantime, fill a pitcher with about 3.5 oz/100 grams for each cappuccino or 6 oz/170 grams for each latte to be prepared. In choosing the size of the pitcher, bear in mind that the milk doubles or triples in volume.

Please note:

You are recommended to use skimmed or semi-skimmed milk at refrigerator temperature (about 5°C / 42°F).

1. *Models with adjustable cappuccino only: Make sure the ring on the cappuccino maker is positioned downwards in the CAPPUCCINO position and place the pitcher containing the milk under the cappuccino maker.
2. Wait until the light comes on (fig. 21). The light comes on to indicate that the boiler has reached the ideal temperature for steam production. As the boiler heats up, it is normal for a little water and steam to be given off into the drip tray.
3. Remove the cappuccino maker by rotating it to the left (fig. 22). During this operation, avoid touching the boiler outlet as it is hot. Then place the container with the milk under the cappuccino maker.
4. Dip the cappuccino maker into the milk for a few millimeters (fig. 23). Turn the steam dial to the 0° position (fig. 24). Steam is delivered from the cappuccino maker, giving the milk a creamy, frothy appearance. For a creamier froth, immerse the cappuccino maker in the milk and move the container with slow up/down movements.
5. When the required temperature (the ideal is 60°C/140°F) and froth density is reached, interrupt steam delivery by

turning the steam dial to the OFF position and pressing the button.

1. Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the espresso coffee prepared previously. The cappuccino is ready. Sweeten to taste and, if desired, sprinkle the froth with a little cocoa powder.

Please note:

• To prepare more than one cappuccino, first make all the coffees, then at the end prepare the frothed milk for all the cappuccinos.
• To make coffee again after the milk has been frothed, cool down the boiler first or the coffee will be burnt. To cool the boiler, place a container under the boiler outlet, press the button (fig. 15) and deliver water until the light goes off. Press the button again and prepare the coffee as described in the previous paragraphs.

You are recommended to deliver steam for a maximum of 60 seconds and never to froth milk more than three times consecutively.

10. MAKING HOT MILK (WITHOUT FROTH) (MODELS WITH ADJUSTABLE CAPPUCCINO ONLY)

To make hot milk without froth, proceed as described in the above section, making sure the ring on the cappuccino maker is positioned upwards in the "HOT MILK" position.

11. CLEANING THE CAPPUCCINO MAKER AFTER USE

Important:

For hygiene reasons, the cappuccino maker should always be cleaned after use.

Proceed as follows:

1. Deliver a little steam for a few seconds by turning the steam dial (fig. 24). This causes the cappuccino maker to discharge any milk left inside. Turn the appliance on again by pressing the ON/OFF button.
