Grinding regulation
! Take care when rotating the knob that regulates
grinding, which is inside the coffee hopper. Do not put
ground and/or freeze-dried coffee in the bean hopper.
! Do not put any material other than coffee beans in
the hopper.
Switch off at the mains before carrying out any type of
operation inside the bean hopper.
The quality and flavour of coffee depend on the
grinding level, as well as the blend used.
The machine has a knob to regulate the coffee
grinding.
To regulate the grinding,
turn the knob one
setting at a time. The
figures indicate the
fineness of grinding.
The manufacturer
configures each
appliance on an
intermediate grinding
setting. If the grind is
too fine, rotate the knob
to a higher setting; if the grind is too coarse, turn the
knob to a lower setting.
The variation in grind will only be seen after one or two
coffees have been brewed.
Use coffee bean blends for espresso machines. Try
not to use high grinding settings (e.g. 1/10). Use
different coffee blends for these settings. Keep the
coffee in a fresh place in a sealed, airtight container.
Grinding must only be regulated if coffee is not brewed
properly:
• if it is brewed too fast, this means that the grind is
too coarse; turn the knob to a lower setting;
• if it is brewed in drips and/or intermittently, this
means that the grind is too fine; turn the knob to a
higher setting.
Additional information for correct use of
the “Aqua prima” filter (where installed)
For correct use of the “Aqua Prima” filter (where
installed), here are a number of recommendations:
1. Store the “Aqua prima” filter in a cool place away
from the sun, at a temperature of between +5°C and
+40°C;

3. It is advisable to wash the “Aqua prima” filter if the
machine has been inactive for 3 days or more;
4. Replace filter if the machine has been inactive for
20 days or more;
5. To preserve a filter that has already been opened,
place in a plastic airtight bag and store in the
refrigerator; do not store in freezer, as this will alter
the properties of the filter;
6. Before using the filter, place in water in the tank for
30 minutes;
7. Once removed from its package, do not store filter
in the open air;
