• Water softener filter (certain models only)

• Cleaning brush/cleaning cloth

• Milk cleaner

• O-rings and lubricating grease

Before first use, remove the packaging and ensure the product is complete and undamaged. Check if all accessories are present. Do not use the appliance if it is visibly damaged. It is normal to find traces of coffee in the mill as coffee has been used to test the appliance in the factory. You should also customise the water hardness as soon as possible.

• Always use clean and cold tap water, bottled water without added minerals, or distilled water suitable for consumption.

• The first time you use the appliance, the water circuit is empty, so it could be very noisy. The noise lessens as the circuit fills with water.

• You may need to make 4-5 cups of coffee before the results are satisfactory.

• It is normal to hear the noise of boiling water when making the first 5-6 beverages. This noise becomes less during use.

• To access the main switch and other areas, pull the appliance forward. Pull the coffee spouts forward to open the service door.

To set your appliance to ‘On’, press the On/Standby button. The appliance is ready to use when it has reached the correct temperature and the primary screen is shown. Each time the appliance is set to ‘On’, it performs an automatic preheat and rinse cycle which cannot be interrupted. The appliance is ready for use only after this cycle is complete.

TIP: Place a cup under the spouts to collect the hot water from the rinse cycle to warm the cup.

NOTE: Do not push the main switch while the appliance is set to ‘On’.

To put the appliance in ‘Standby’ mode, press the On/Standby button. Each time the appliance is set to ‘Standby’ after making coffee, it performs an automatic rinse cycle.

If you do not use the appliance for a long period, set the appliance to ‘Off’. To disconnect the appliance completely, place the main switch on the side of the appliance in the 0 (off) position.

• The supply of coffee can be stopped at any moment.

• As soon as the supply has ended, you can increase the quantity of water.

• You can customise beverages.

• Adjust the grind level if the coffee is supplied a drop at a time or is too weak and not creamy enough.

• To make hotter coffee: Perform a rinse cycle to warm the cups, supply hot water to warm the cups, use the cup warmer setting, or increase the coffee temperature in the settings.

• Lower the spouts as close to the cup as possible to make the coffee creamier.

• After the coffee supply, the aroma and quantity settings are reset to the ‘original recipe’.

• Once a beverage has been made, the appliance is ready to make the next one.

Follow these steps to make coffee using coffee beans:

1. Open the lid of the bean container.

2. Add coffee beans to the container.

3. Place one or two cups under the coffee spouts.

4. Adjust the spouts so they are as close to the cup(s) as possible.

5. Select your desired beverage from the control panel.

6. The appliance will grind the beans and brew the coffee.

NOTE: Do not use green, caramelised or candied coffee beans as they could make the coffee mill unusable.

Follow these steps to use pre-ground coffee:

1. Ensure the appliance is set to ‘On’.

2. Select the pre-ground coffee option on the display.

3. Lift the lid of the ground coffee funnel.

4. Add one measuring spoon of pre-ground coffee into the funnel.

5. Place a cup under the coffee spouts.

6. Select your beverage to start the brewing process.

NOTE: Only add pre-ground coffee when the appliance is ‘On’. Only make one cup of coffee at a time and do not use more than 1 measuring spoon. Ensure the funnel is not blocked.
