• Place the ground coffee in the filter, using the measuring spoon
supplied, and level evenly (Fig. 8).As a general rule, use a level
measuring spoon of ground coffee (around 7 grams) for each
cup (for example, 12 spoons to make 12 cups).The quantity of
ground coffee used may, however, be varied according to per-
sonal taste. Use good quality, medium ground coffee, packaged
for drip coffee makers.
•Close the filter holder door and place the jug, with the lid on,
on the warming plate, make sure it is placed in the centre.
• Choose the desired flavour as indicated in the paragraph "How
to choose the flavour".
•Press the "ON/OFF" switch (Fig. 9).The ON pilot light above
the switch indicates that the coffee maker is in operation.
• In the models with the 6/12 cup switch “ “ for drip coffee, if
more than six cups are required, press the 6/12 cup switch “ “
(Fig. 10), and the corresponding pilot light will come on. If, on
the other hand, less than six cups are required, do not press the
switch. In this way, the hot water will flow more slowly through
the ground coffee, with better results.
• The coffee will start to come out after a few seconds. It is
completely normal for the appliance to release a little
steam while the coffee is percolating.
• If the “ON/OFF” switch is left in the ON position after percola-
tion, the warming plate will keep the coffee at the ideal temper-
ature.
NB. In models fitted with a rotating base, the coffee maker can be
turned to the right or the left for easier access to the water tank.
(Fig.11).
HOW TO CHOOSE THE FLAVOUR OF THE DRIP
COFFEE
With the Flavour System, the flavour of the drip coffee can be cho-
sen according to personal taste.
By turning the flavour adjustment knob (Fig. 12), the coffee maker
can be set for coffee with a strong (STRONG position) or light
aftertaste (LIGHT position).
The Flavour System changes the strength of the aftertaste of the
coffee, while the actual taste remains the same.
WARNING: the first time coffee is prepared, all the acces-
sories and internal circuits of the machine must be
washed as follows:
Make at least two jugs of coffee without using ground coffee (fol-
lowing the instructions in the paragraph How to prepare the drip
coffee).
