Non-observance of the above precautions may make the machine unsafe for future use.

Do not leave the machine switched on when not in use. Unplug the machine when not in use. Do not obstruct the ventilation and/or heat dissipation openings and/or slits nor introduce water or any other liquids into same. Do not obstruct the ventilation and/or heat dissipation openings and/or slits nor introduce water or any other liquids into same. Never insert spoons, forks or other utensils into the pouring lip (11) (see Fig. 1), or into the coffee grain container (2) (see Fig. 1) for any reason whatsoever while the appliance is operating. Always switch off the appliance before removing blockages from the pouring lip. Never place the appliance in water or other liquids. Should a foreign body stop the motor, switch the machine off immediately and contact an authorized service center. Should a foreign body stop the motor, switch the machine off immediately and contact an authorized service center. WARNING If the thermal breaker to protect the motor is triggered, do not attempt any other manoeuvre. Unplug the machine from the power mains and make sure that any prob- lems have been solved before switching the machine on again.

This machine is capable of producing very precise doses, since it bases itself on the time of the grind. It is however necessary to fine tune the machine before starting to work, above all deciding the blend of coffee (lighter or darker roast) and the grade of grind. You then proceed to programming the time of grind for each dosage, weighing the ground product. Carry out the electrical connections during the installation process.

After connecting to the electrical outlet, close the flap (9) (see Fig. 1) at the base of the whole bean coffee container (2). Remove the lid (3) from the container (2) and fill with whole bean coffee. Bring the switch (4) to the “ON” position. The red led on the switch itself will come on. Open the flap (9). Place the portafilter bowl on the rods (7) (see Fig. 4) and push it forwards until it comes into contact with the microswitch (6) to pour out the ground coffee through the nozzle (8) (see Fig. 5). WARNING Keep the portafilter bowl on the rods (7) to prevent the nozzle (8) from becoming clogged.16

To adjust grinding fineness, it is necessary to use the knob (10) (see fig.3), turning it clock- wise for finer grinding or anti-clockwise for a coarser grind. This adjustment does not have any stop points and each turn of the knob corresponds to a movement of 0.4 mm of the grinders. Grinding fineness is factory set, with the grinders first adjusted so that they touch each other (0) and then moving the grinders so that they are at a distance to provide an average grinding fineness for espresso coffee. Grinders with re-settable adjustment knob can be set to zero at an established grinding point by holding the top part of the knob in position and using the ring nut on the base of the knob itself. Caution: grinding fineness adjustment needs to be performed gradually, grinding a little coffee each time that the knob is turned by two numbers (notches). The machine may seize up if the knob is moved by one turn while the motor is switched off.

7.3 PROGRAMMING OF THE MACHINE

The first time you turn on the machine, it will be on the mode programmed at the factory. Every time you turn on the machine it will set itself to the last settings prior to disconnecting.

At switch-on, at the end of the lamp-test, after showing the software release of the control unit, the display will show the last dose poured. The top line of the display will read DOSE X (with X being the number of the selected dose and this varies from 1 to 3) while the line underneath shows the time, in seconds, set for the selected dose. '26(; VHF To change the dose, press the key and the top line of the display will show the new selected dose, while the bottom line shows the relevant setting. '26( VHF To change the setting for the selected dose quickly it is possible to use the increase and decrease keys. At this point it is possible to operate in two ways:

1. Change the dose using the

DOSE key and passing on to the next dose. Any change to the dose will be saved;

2. Start a pouring operation. If there has been any change to the dose, this will be saved.

To start pouring, it is necessary to insert the portafilter: the bottom line will show the amount of time passing.17

MYTHOS '26( VHF In the case that splitting has been deactivated (see the following paragraph), the pouring operation will continue until its end, with or without the portafilter.

7.3.2 DOSE SPLITTING

This function is enabled or disabled from a page in the menu. Doses can be split so as to be able to stop dosing and to resume it as required, at a later moment. This function is controlled by whether or not the portafilter cup is present. If the function is enabled and the portafilter is inserted, then the dosing will proceed according to the selected mode; if not it is interrupted. Once dosing has been suspended, the user can choose one of two things:

1. To continue dosing by re-inserting the portafilter cup until the end of the set time (or inter-

2. To end dosing by pressing one of the three buttons.

While dosing is paused, the LEDs of the three buttons will flash to show that it is possible to interrupt dosing with any of the three buttons.

7.3.3 DOSE PROGRAMMING

As well as by using the method described above, it is also possible to edit dose values by entering the dose programming mode. To do this, without the portafilter inserted, it is neces- sary to press the buttons and at the same time. The top line of the display will read PROGRAMMING X (where X is the selected dose being edited) while the second line shows the dose setting in seconds. 352*5$00$=,21(; VHF To edit the value of the dose, it is necessary to use the increase or decrease . buttons. To quit, saving any changes made, press the button.18

To enter the menu, without the portafilter inserted, it is necessary to and . together. Pressing the , button, shown on the display as “>” will scroll through all of the menu pages. These are the pages in detail: PAGE 1 -ENABLE SPLITTING. Pressing the increase button will enable or disable splitting. Pressing the , button will pass onto the next menu page.

8. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

WARNING Disconnect the machine from the electrical source before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operation. WARNING Do not pull on the electric cable nor the machine itself, to remove the plug from the electrical outlet.

At least once a week it is necessary to remove the coffee bean container (2) which simply rests on the machine body (1). This is to remove the oily layer left by the coffee beans using a clean cloth. WARNING Before removing the container (2) always remember to close the tab (9), otherwise it will not come away. If this operation is not performed, there is a risk that the grease will become rancid, with negative effects on the flavour of subsequent cups of coffee. For the cleaning of the base use a damp cloth. WARNING To clean the nozzle (8) from any coffee blockage, use a vacuum cleaner and a small brush, taking great care not to fold or bend the PET flap. This flap is extremely flex- ible, but a sharp fold could prevent it from functioning properly to the point that it needs to be replaced.19

WARNING Maintenance operations must be carried out by specialized personnel authorized by the manufacturer. WARNING Do not carry out unprofessional or dangerous repairs, do not use non-original spare parts. Do not carry out unprofessional or dangerous repairs, do not use non-original spare parts.
