[. . . ] 20 English 6 - COFFEE PREPARATION In order to obtain an excellent espresso coffee, it is important to use a top quality blended coffee, properly roasted and ground; grinding is correct when the coffee delivery time is between 15-18 seconds for one serving and between 30-35 seconds for two servings. The coffee should be grinded at the time of use. Once ground, the coffee loses its flavour within a short time; if the grinding is too coarse you will obtain light-coloured and weak coffee, without froth; if the grinding is too fine you will obtain dark and strong coffee, with little froth. Once you have placed the filter into the filter-holder (12), fill the filter with the amount of coffee required for 1 or 2 cups (7 gr. ), level it off, and press the coffee down with the presser, manually clean the filter edge from any coffee residues and fit the filter-holder into the brewing unit (39) moving it rightward tightly in its place. Place the cups under the spouts and start the brewing using the unit control (11) or (20). Once you have obtained the desired amount of coffee, stop the delivery using the unit control (11) or (20) and leave the filterholder in its place. To prepare additional cups of coffee, remove the filter-holder (12) from the unit, moving it leftward, empty the coffee grounds into the drawer provided and once again follow the previous steps. We recommend not to touch the brewing units or the steam and hot-water nozzles when the machine is running, and pay attention not to place your hands under the units or nozzles during the delivery, to avoid possible scalds. It is advisable to leave the filter-holders, with their own filters and coffee grounds, fitted into the unit throughout your days’ work, so that the filter-holder will always preserve an optimal temperature. When the machine is new, the filter-holder may not be aligned (perpendicular to the machine itself) as shown in the picture; this however does not affect the proper use of the machine itself. After a short period of use the filter-holder will be gradually settled on the correct position. Control board with 4 different coffee-doses selection positions and a stop button. Brewing unit stop/continuous delivery The (E) button is designed for continuous delivery and delivery stop. The machine therefore has a double function: A. By pressing the (E) button, the equipment is semi-automatic. By pressing the 4 selection buttons, the machine operates through electronic dosing. By holding the (E) pushing botton for few seconds, the machine will enter in the programming phase, as signalled by the low frequency flashing of the LED (F). Release the programming button (the LED will continue to flash) and push the button of the unit related on which you wish to program coffee dosing, at this stage delivery will start; once the desired dose has been reached, press any button of the unit to interrupt the delivery; the dose will be stored in the memory and the machine will exit the programming phase (the LED will stop flashing and will switch it off). This operation should be repeated on the remaining selection buttons for the various groups. The same operation needs to be repeated if you wish to increase or decrease the set dose. COFFEE DELIVERY To obtain the coffee delivery, push the selected button on the brewing unit (11); the red LED (F) in the (E) button will switch on. [. . . ] - Remouve the “Y” connection and the related silicone pipes. - Insert the longest silicone pipe in the by-pass and put it in the tank for the waste water. Filter-holder If, during the delivery, the coffee drips out of the edges of the filterholder (G), this may be caused by the obstruction of the filter-holder delivery hole, in which case the hole needs to be cleaned; if the problem persists or, if when fitting the filter-holder into the brewing unit it significantly moves beyond the unit centre, the group gasket needs to be replaced (D). In order to replace it, unscrew the jet fixing screw (E), remove the jet (C) and the sprayer (B), and then use a screwdriver as a lever to remove the round metal block (A) and subsequently the gasket (D).
