HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING THE FILTER
HOLDER FOR GROUND COFFEE
1.After preheating the appliance as described above,
place the ground coffee filter in the filter holder,
making sure the projection is correctly inserted in the
slot as shown in fig. 13. For appliances with two
filters, use the smallest for one coffee and the largest
for two coffees.
2.To make a single coffee only, place one level measure
of ground coffee, about 7 grams, in the filter (fig. 10).
To prepare two coffees, place two loosely filled
measures of ground coffee (about 6+6 g) in the filter.
Fill the filter a little at a time to prevent the ground
coffee from overflowing.
IMPORTANT: For correct operation, before adding the
ground coffee to the filter holder, make sure the filter
is free from ground coffee from the previous infusion.
3.Distribute the ground coffee uniformly and press it
lightly with the pressing pad (fig. 15).
NOTE: Pressing the coffee is very important in order
to prepare a food coffee. However if you press too
hard, coffee will come out 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 colour.
4.
Remove any excess coffee from the rim of the filter
holder and attach the filter holder to the appliance.
Rotate firmly (fig. 10) to avoid leaks of water.
5.Place the cup or cups (cups can be preheated by
rinsing under hot water) on the removable drip tray.
Ensure that the cup or cups line up with the
dispensing holes on the filter holder (fig. 16).
6.Wait until the espresso “OK” light comes on (fig. 11)
then turn the selector knob to the espresso function
(fig. 12) until the desired quantity of coffee is
obtained To stop the delivery, turn the selector to the
position (fig. 9).
7.To detach the filter holder, turn the handle from right
to left.
To avoid any splashing, do not detach the filter
holder while the machine is dispensing coffee.
8.To remove the used coffee, hold 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. 17).
9.To switch off the coffee machine, turn the selector knob
on the appliance to the OFF position “O” (fig. 18)
ATTENTION: The first time that coffee is prepared, it is
necessary to wash all of the accessories and the
internal circuits of the machine, preparing at least five
coffees without using the ground coffee.
HOW TO PREPARE COFFEE USING THE FILTER
HOLDER FOR PODS (if fitted):

producers and enables espresso coffee to be prepared
simply and cleanly.
2.Place the small 1 coffee or pod filter in the filter
holder, making sure the projection is correctly
inserted in the slot as shown in fig. 13.
3.Insert a pod, centring it as far as possible on the filter
(fig. 19).Always follow the instructions on the pod
pack to position the pod on the filter correctly.

4.In the meantime, fill a container with approximately
100 gr. of milk for each cappuccino to be prepared.
The milk must be cold from the refrigerator (not
warm!). In choosing the container, bear in mind that
the volume of the milk will increase by 2 or 3 times.
NOTE: We suggest you used semi-skimmed milk at
refrigerator temperature.
