15. Once the lights illuminate steadily, the machine
has reached the ideal temperature for making
espresso/coffee and is now ready for use.
16. Note: Before preparing the espresso/coffee,
always make sure that the green

11.4 Setting the Espresso / Coffee Flavor Dial
1. Turn the espresso / coffee flavor dial (Figure 9)
to set the desired taste of your espresso/coffee
from regular, strong to extra strong.
2. Turning the dial clockwise increases the quantity
of coffee beans the machine will grind, and
therefore makes the taste stronger. Note: When using the machine for
the first time, the correct position for the dial can be found by trial and
error.
3. Note: Make sure not to turn it too far clockwise, otherwise the
espresso / coffee will be delivered too slowly (in drops) when preparing
two cups of espresso / coffee.
