• Select the aroma desired as indicated in the
paragraph “How to select the aroma”.
• Press the “ON/OFF” switch for drip coffee (fig.
7). The ON indicator light for drip coffee
above the switch itself indicates that the coffee
machine filter is functioning properly.
• If more than five cups of coffee are desired,
press the switch (with the symbol)
(fig. 8) and the indicator light will light up. If,
on the other hand, five or fewer cups of coffee
are desired, the switch should not be pressed.
In this way, the hot water will flow more slow-
ly through the ground coffee and a more
flavourful beverage will be obtained.
• The brewed coffee will begin to drip out after
a few seconds.
It is completely normal that
during the percolation of the coffee, some
steam may escape from the machine.
• If you keep “ON/OFF” switch for drip coffee
on the ON position after the percolation, the
warming plate will maintain the hot coffee at
an ideal drinking temperature.
HOW TO SELECT THE AROMA OF THE DRIP
COFFEE
With the ACCUFLAVOR , it is possible to select the
aroma of the dripcoffee depending on personal
taste. By turning the aroma regulation knob of the
coffee filter (fig. 9), the coffee machine can be
programmed for a strong flavour (STRONG posi-
tion) or a lighter flavour (LIGHT position).
The ACCUFLAVOR feature changes the flavour of
the coffee, more or less strong, while the taste of
the coffee remains unchanged.
HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE
1. Unscrew the boiler cap by turning it in a
counter-clockwise direction.
2. Using the level indications stamped on the
WATER LEVEL side, fill the small pot with the
amount of water suggested (fig. 10) according
to the number of cups of espresso coffee that
are desired (see the chart at the end of this text).
3. Pour the water into the boiler (fig. 11).
4. Replace the plug in the boiler cap by turning
firmly in a clockwise direction.
5. Insert the filter for espresso coffee into the filter
holder (fig. 12).
6. Fill the filter with the ground coffee, respecting
the dosages indicated in the chart at the end of
this text and distribute it uniformly in the filter
(fig. 13). It is important to use the highest qual-
ity coffee and having a
medium grind in order
to avoid the obstruction of the filter during the
brewing. Remove any excess coffee from
around the edges of the filter (fig. 14).
7. To attach the filter holder to the appliance,
position it under the boiler outlet with the han-
dle towards the left, see fig. 15. Push
upwards, and at the same time, turn the han-
dle towards the right.
Always turn right to the
end.
8. Place the coffee pot for espresso coffee under
the filter holder so that the spout where the cof-
fee exits is inside of the opening on the lid of
the coffee pot (fig. 16).
9. Position the “Vario System” selector according
the type of espresso coffee desired: “LIGHT”
for a lighter coffee and “STRONG” for a
stronger tasting brew (fig. 17).
10.Make sure that the steam release knob is
closed.
11.Push the ON/OFF switch for espresso/cap-
puccino. The ON/OFF indicator light for
espresso/cappuccino will turn on (fig. 18).
12.After approximately two minutes, the espresso
coffee will begin to flow out (fig. 19).
ATTENTION: to avoid spraying, never detach
the filter holder while the machine in brewing
coffee.
13.When the coffee no longer flows out from the
filter holder, push the ON/OFF switch for
espresso/cappuccino to turn off the hot water
heater (fig. 18). Pour the coffee into the cups.
Before removing the filter holder, it is impor-
tant to eliminate all of the residual steam
from the inside of the boiler to avoid puffs of
steam.
Allow it to blow out completely by
rotating the steam release knob (fig. 20).
14.To dispose of used grounds in the filter, first
remove the filter holder by turning the handle
to the left. Using the special lever in the handle
to keep the filter in place, remove the grounds
by turning the filter holder upside down and
striking gently. (fig. 21).
