*1 level measuring spoon = a tablespoon

(0.17 oz. /5 gr.).

The quantities given in the tables are indicative

only and must be adjusted according to personal

taste and the quality of the coffee. To avoid coffee

overflow, never exceed the maximum quantity of

15 measuring spoons.

The quality of coffee you use can affect the taste of

your coffee. We suggest trying different brands of

coffee to find the one most suitable to your taste.

• Models with glass carafe: close the frontal

door and place the closed glass carafe on the

non stick warming plate (fig. 6).

Models with thermal carafe: Before placing

the carafe on the plate, make sure the lid is clo-

sed (fig. 7).

• Models with electronic control panel: you can

enhance the flavor of your coffee by pressing

the AROMA button. This feature activates a

unique brewing process, slowly releasing

water into the filter basket; saturating coffee

grounds a little at a time extracting the best fla-

vor and aroma from your coffee. To activate,

press the AROMA button; the light above the

button will illuminate. Press the button again to

turn the selection off. It is recommended to use

the aroma button if not brewing a whole cara-

fe of coffee.

Press the ON/AUTO/OFF button (fig. 8). The

red light indicates that the coffee maker is in

operation and the display shows “BREW”.

• Models with single switch: Press the

"ON/OFF” switch (fig. 9). The indicator light

on the switch indicates that the coffee maker is

in operation.

• The coffee will begin to emerge after a few

seconds. It is completely normal for the

appliance to release a little steam while the

coffee is brewing.

• In models with glass carafe, if you leave the

appliance switched on after brewing is fini-

shed, the non-stick warming plate will keep the

coffee at the ideal temperature. The unit auto-

matically shuts off after two hours.

• Models with thermal carafe: To pour the cof-

fee, turn the lid to the position shown in (fig.

10). To completely remove the lid from the cara-

fe, turn it to the position shown in (fig. 11).

The appliance switches automatically off after

brewing cycle.

Important: Removing the carafe before the machi-

ne has finished producing the coffee does not

interrupt the brewing process, but simply stops the

flow of coffee into the carafe. If you want to pour

out a little coffee before brewing is completed, do

so as quickly as possible to avoid coffee overflow.

PROGRAMMING THE AUTOMATIC START

(models with electronic control panel only)

Make sure that the time is set correctly.

To program the time to start coffee preparation:

•Press the SET TIMER button and keep it depres-

sed until you reach the desired switch-on time.

• Then release the SET TIMER button. The time

will flash for a few seconds until set: then the

display will show the current hour.

ACTIVATING THE TIMER

After you have:

- set the time for switch-on as described in the

previous section;

-prepare the machine for making coffee. Press

the ON/AUTO/OFF button quickly twice (fig.

12). The ON/AUTO indicator light changes to

green indicating the coffee maker is in opera-

tion: the display shows AUTO.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before carrying out any cleaning operations, swit-

ch the appliance off, unplug it from the power

outlet, and let it cool down.

1. Do not use solvents or abrasive detergents to clean

the appliance. A soft damp cloth is sufficient.

2. Never immerse the coffee maker in water: it is

an electrical appliance.
