RECOMMENDATIONS
• Before first using the coffee appliance, it is best to let the water content
equivalent to 8-10 cups run out through the filter holder (with no coffee in
the filter).
• Never use more coffee than as indicated.
OPERATION
A. COFFEE
a.- Preparing coffee
• Fill the reservoir with water, using the loading area (6). Make sure that the
ends of the reservoir pipes are immersed in the water.
• (Fig.1) If you would like to use ground coffee, fill the coffee receptacle (5)
with ground coffee. We recommend you not to use an extra-fine ground
coffee.
• If you want your first coffee to have a higher temperature, set the filter
holder in place without coffee and let one or two cups of hot water run out
in order to warm the components of the coffee-maker. In addition, we rec-
ommend you to stand the cups to be used on the top cover (4) so that they
are also warmed during this operation.
• Plug the coffee-maker into the mains and turn switch (1) to position I.
• Fit the filter you want to use, for 1 or 2 cups (13 or 14), in the filter holder (11).
• Place the filter holder (11) in the guides for dispensing the coffee and slide
the dispenser lever (19) forwards, until you hear a click, once or twice de-
pending on the filter you are going to use.
• Press the filter coffee down lightly with the tamper (18).
• If you would like to use coffee tablets, open the single-serving bag. Put the
1-cup filter (13) on the filter holder (11). Put the tablet in the filter holder.
b.- Starting the coffee-maker
• Then fit the filter holder (11) to the coffee-maker.
• Make sure the filter holder is securely closed by pushing the handle firmly
from left to right, otherwise it may drip (fig.3)
• Fit the cup-holder tray (15) according to the size of the cups you are going
to use (Fig. 4):
A.- Small cups
B.- Medium-sized cups
C.- Large cups
• Place one or two cups below the coffee outlet holes (12).
