SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

- A short power cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord.

- Longer, detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care
is exercised in their use.

- If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is provided with 3- wire, grounding type cord,
the extension should be a GROUNDING TYPE 3 - WIRE CORD. The longer cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape over the counter-top or table top where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over.

- Your product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade
wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature.
If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should
still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the
following:

• Read all instructions.

• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles and knobs.

• To protect against fire, electrical shock and personal injury, do not immerse cord, plug or
appliance in water or other liquid.

• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

• Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before fitting or taking
off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.

• Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been
damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for
examination, repair or adjustment.

• The use of accessory attachments or spare parts not recommended by the appliance manufacturer
may result in fire, electrical shock or personal injury.

• Do not use outdoors.

• Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electrical burner, or in a heated oven.

• Plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to “off”, then remove plug from wall
outlet.

• Do not use the appliance for other than the intended use.

• DO NOT unscrew or remove boiler cap while the machine is in operation. Wait until brewing
cycle is completed and all water and steam has been used up.

• Appliances with Glass Containers:

A. The container is designed for use with this appliance. It must never be used on a range top.
B. Do not set a hot container on a wet or cold surface.

INSTALLATION

• Place the appliance on a flat work surface away
from water sources such as taps or sinks.

• Check that the voltage of the electrical power
line corresponds to the voltage indicated on the
appliance label. Connect the appliance only to
a power source having a minimum load
capacity of 10 amps and having a proper
grounding feature. The manufacturer takes no
responsibility for any accidents caused by the
lack of a grounding device for the appliance.

• In case of incompatibility between the plug and

your socket, have the socket replaced by a
qualified electrician. The supply cable must not
be replaced by the user, as this requires the use
of special tools. If the supply cable is damaged,
contact an authorized Service Centre.

• Never install the machine in an environment
which can reach a temperature of less than or
equal to 0°C (if the water inside the machine
freezes, the machine might be damaged):

FILLING THE TANK

Remove the reservoir by pullling it sideways, at the
same time lifting the tubes (fig. 1).
Rinse the reservoir and fill with fresh water (fig. 2).
Replace the reservoir in its housing, ensuring that
the tubes are immersed in the water (fig. 3). A
simpler way of filling the reservoir is to pull it out
just enough to be able to pour in water directly
from a jug. Never start up the appliance without
water in the tank.

PRE-HEATING OF THE MACHINE

In order to obtain a coffee at the right temperature, it is
necessary to pre-heat the machine by keeping it on by
pushing the ON/OFF switch (fig.4), for at least a half-hour
before making coffee. During this time,

it is necessary to

leave the filter holder attached to the boiler.

To attach the filter holder, position it under the
boiler shower with the handle towards the left - see
fig. 5; push upwards and at the same time rotate
the handle towards the right; always rotate as far
as it will go).
After a half-hour the coffee can then be made as
described below.

To speed up this operation, it is also possible:
1 To turn the machine on by pushing the

ON/OFF switch (fig.4).

2. To insert the filter holder in the boiler without
coffee or coffee pod. Place a coffee cup
beneath the filter holder.

3. To wait until the light "OK" turns on (fig. 6) and
press the delivery switch (fig.7), letting the
water exit until the “OK” light goes off; then
stop the dispensing by pressing the coffee
dispenser switch.

4. Then empty the water from the cup, wait until
the “OK” light turns back on and repeat the
same operation again.
