Setting the number of cups and dispensing
coffee
• Place one or two cups under the espresso

pour spouts. The height of the pour spouts
can be adjusted to suit the height of your
cup to reduce heat loss and espresso
splashes. Simply slide the espresso pour
spouts up or down. See figure 17.

• Press the

button once or twice in

order to select 1 or 2 cups. See figure 18.

LCD: Indicates <<1 CUP>> or

<<2 CUPS>>.

• Press the "OK" button.
• The espresso is now made.
Note: In the coffee making process, the
ground coffee is dampened by a small
amount of water. Known as pre-infusion,
this helps in achieving maximum extraction
of oils from the coffee grinds. Following
a short pause, the actual brewing process
commences.
Note: You may stop the pour of coffee at any
time by briefly pressing the "OK" button.

LCD: Indicates

<<CANCELLED PLEASE WAIT>>.
Note: If you have not dispensed coffee for
a long period of time with the espresso
machine switched on, you should rinse the
brewing system before dispensing again.
Start the rinsing process by pressing the
"RINSE" button See figure 19.
LCD: Indicates
<<RINSING PLEASE WAIT>>.
With this additional rinsing phase the

brewing unit is brought back to the initial

operating temperature.
