Installation

! Keep this booklet for consultation at any time. In the NA event of sale, transfer of the machine or of the owner

ensure that the booklet is kept with the machine so that the new owner is informed of the operating instructions and warnings.

! Read all instructions carefully. They contain important information regarding installation, operation and safety.

Positioning

!Packaging is not a toy for children and should be disposed of in accordance with regulations for separated waste collection (see Precautions and recommendations).

!Installation must be carried out in compliance with these instructions by professionally qualified personnel. Incorrect installation may cause damage to persons, animals and/or objects.

Built-in installation

To ensure the correct functioning of the appliance, the cabinet must have the right characteristics:

•the panels next to the coffee machine must be in heat-resistant material;

•veneered wood cabinets should be joined using glues resistant to 100°C/212°F and must be steamresistant;

•for all installations of built-in coffee machines cabinets should have the following dimensions:

! Once the appliance has been encased, there must be no contact possible with electrical parts. Declared consumption values shown on the rating plate are measured on the basis of this type of installation.

Ventilation

To ensure good ventilation, remove the rear panel of the cabinet.

It is recommended to install the coffee machine so that it is resting on a continuous surface with an opening of at least 1¾” x 21¼” (45 x 540 mm) in the base.

Centring and fixing

To centre the coffee machine, position the shims beneath the holes in the outer structure of the machine.

! All shims must be attached so that they ensure perfect stability of the machine.

To attach the shims to the cabinet proceed as follows:

• remove the drip tray from the machine;

• remove the lower plastic protection;

• fasten the 2 wood screws in the 2 holes located to the rear of the base.

4

! All protective parts must be attached so that they cannot be removed without the aid of a tool.

Next replace the protection and the drip tray.

Electrical connection

!Coffee machines with three-pole power cable are regulated for alternating current, with voltage and frequency shown on the rating plate attached to the appliance.

!The installer is responsible for checking the correct connection of components and observing safety regulations.

Before connecting make sure that:

•the socket is earthed and is compliant with statutory regulations:

•the socket is able to withstand the maximum power load of the machine, shown on the rating plate;

•the supply voltage is within the values shown on the rating plate;

•the socket is compatible with the appliance’s plug. Otherwise replace the plug or the socket; do not use extension leads or adaptors.

!Once the appliance is installed, the electric cable and socket must be easy to reach.

!The power cable must not be subject to coiling or compression.

!The cable must be checked regularly and replaced only by authorised technicians.

!The company accepts no responsibility for noncompliance with these regulations.

Installing the power cable

• Put the plug in the tray socket on the rear of the machine

• Connect the power cable to the mains

• Put the plug in the power socket.

The position of the power cable must be

such that no section of it is above room temperature by more than 50°C/122°F.

Water connection

NA

!Before connecting the supply pipe to the water mains, let the water flow until it is clear.

!The distance between the sources for the electric and the water connections have to comply with the regulations in force at the moment of installation.

1. Remove the protective cap from the water outlet.

2. Connect the supply pipe to the machine by inserting it in the appropriate water outlet, in the rear side up on the right (see figure).

3. Fasten the supply pipe to a cold water tap with a threaded 3/4 gastype connection (see figure).

4.Make sure that there are neither bends nor constrictions in the pipe.

!The water pressure of the tap has to be within the values shown in the Technical Specification table.

!If the length of the supply pipe is not enough, please refer to a specialised point of sale or an authorized technician.

!Never employ used or old inlet pipes, but only those provided with the machine.

5

NA

1. Open the front panel by pressing firmly in the centre.

2. Verify that the internal connecting pipe is inserted into the fitting shown in the figure.

Starting and using

! Before starting the machine make sure the containers NA are filled with the amount described in the manual.

Prime the circuit immediately to prevent damage to the machine.

! After starting the machine, regulate water hardness. That will allow you to keep your machine in perfect order (see Programming).

Close the front panel by pressing firmly in the centre. The machine begins to heat up and the display shows:

RINSING WARMING UP...

When the right temperature is reached, the machine goes through a rinsing cycle.

	After rinsing, the machine returns to normal operating
	conditions. The display shows:

	! To disable the rinse cycle, see the paragraph on
	programming the machine.
2. Remove the bean
container.
(to your convenience,
you can take out
complete container and
fill whenever you want
or even changhe the
container with another
one which is filled, for
example, with decaf
coffee).
3. Pour coffee beans into
the container being care-
ful not to add too many.
Close the lid and replace
the container inside the
machine.

The main switch is in the “O” position. To switch on, press the key in the “I” position.

8

Priming the water circuit

! Before starting the machine after long periods of inactivity, if the water tank has been completely

emptied, it is essential to prime the machine circuit. The circuit must be also primed every time the display shows:

VENTILATE

1. To prime the circuit, direct the steam spout over the drip tray.

Place a cup or suitable container below the steam spout and press the key.

2. Wait until the water runs smoothly out of the steam spout. To interrupt, press the key.

After the above operations have been completed the machine is ready for use.

To dispense coffee, hot water or steam and for proper use of the machine, carefully follow the instructions that are provided.

Regulating water hardness

Regulate the machine to the right degree of water hardness that you will use.

According to this setting, the machine advises when it is necessary to run a descaling cycle.

Read the sections on “Water hardness” in “Programming” to regulate hardness.

Grinding regulation	NA

!Take care when rotating the knob that regulates grinding, which is located above the brewing unit. Do not put ground and/or freeze-dried coffee in the bean container.

!Do not put any material other than coffee beans in the container.

Switch off at the mains before carrying out any type of operation inside the machine.

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 the grind.

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.

Brewing

			Crema control
	NA
			With this knob, you can regulate the amount of water
			pressure so that each cup is brewed to the right
			strenght and consistency, from a mild, American style
				coffee, to a robust Italian

! Regulation can even be done while the coffee is brewing.

Turn the knob to regulate.

Rotate knob:

•left for crème café;

•to the center for espresso;

•right for a strong coffee.

Regulating the quantity of coffee per cup
