Make sure the filter holder is firmly in place, the position of the filter holder handle with respect to the appliance is irrelevant. 7 The jug must be positioned under the filter holder in such a way that the spout of the filter holder is inside the opening in the cover of the jug (fig. 7). 8 Position the selector (A) to the type of coffee you want to obtain: "LIGHT" for light coffee, "MEDIUM" for normal coffee, "STRONG" for strong coffee (fig. 8). 9 Make sure the steam knob (F) is fully closed and press the luminous switch.
