The hardness of the water (tap or  
bottled) used in the coffee system must  
be determined and programmed into

determine how frequently the unit must  
be descaled to maintain the coffee  
system properly. The machine monitors  
the volume of water passing through it  
in conjunction with the hardness of the  
water and will indicate when descaling  
is necessary. Your local water authority  
can tell you the hardness of your tap  
water or you can measure the hardness  
yourself using the enclosed test strip.

an espresso, but adds more water.  
^ Gently pull the dispensers up or  
down.  
The long coffee button c dispenses  
more water, suitable for a large coffee  
cup or mug. Only the volume of water is

Making coffee  
Cappuccino  
Cold, whole milk is best for creating  
froth. This higher the fat content the  
better the froth. Ideally it should be  
prepared in a cold, stainless steel  
pitcher.  
^ As soon as steam appears from the  
nozzle, shut the steam off by turning  
the steam selector clockwise, to the  
"o" position.  
^ Fill a small, cold, stainless steel  
pitcher a third of the way with cold  
milk while dispensing espresso.  
^ Position the steam nozzle just below  
the surface of the milk in the pitcher  
and slowly turn the steam selector  
counterclockwise.  
^ Move the pitcher in circles until a  
thick froth appears, then lower the  
nozzle deeper into the milk to heat  
the rest.  
^ Direct the steam nozzle toward the  
drip tray and slowly turn the steam  
selector counterclockwise.  
Do not allow the milk to boil. The  
foam will collapse and a skin will  
form.  
Any condensed water in the nozzle will  
be expelled.  
29  
 
Making coffee  
^ Turn the steam off by turning the  
steam selector clockwise to the "o"  
position.  
^ Pull the pitcher away from the steam  
nozzle. Carefully pour the milk into  
the coffee and spoon some froth onto  
the surface.  
Always clean the steam nozzle  
immediately after use, it is harder to  
clean once the milk has dried.  
^ Dispense a quick spurt of steam into  
an empty cup.  
^ Wipe milk off the nozzle with a damp  
sponge.

ground too coarsely. The grinder  
should be adjusted to a finer setting.  
– If the espresso only trickles into the  
cup, the beans have been ground  
too fine and the coffee will be bitter.  
The grinder should be adjusted to a  
coarser setting.  
You should be able to feel the  
notches when moving the slide  
control.  
If the slide control will not move:  
– If the crema is evenly colored but  
pale, the ground coffee is too coarse.  
^ Close the machine and dispense a  
cup of coffee. Then try to move the  
slide control again.  
– If the crema is very dark brown on  
one side, graduating almost to white  
on the other, the ground coffee is too  
fine.  
32  
 
Setting the coffee grinder  
Setting the quantity  
To adjust the quantity setting:  
Both the flavor and crema of the coffee  
depend on the quantity of ground  
coffee used. The greater the quantity,  
the stronger the flavor will be.  
The quality of the crema is also affected  
by the quantity:  
– If the crema is evenly colored but  
pale, increase the quantity setting.  
^ Push the lower slide control to the left  
to grind less coffee or to the right to  
grind more coffee.  
– If the crema is very dark brown on  
one side, graduating almost to white  
on the other, decrease the quantity  
setting.
