USING THE COFFEE-MAKER FOR THE
FIRST TIME

Remove the packaging and take out the bag
containing the accessories. When the appliance is
new, the following accessories must be washed with
lukewarm water and detergent then rinsed
thoroughly: filter, cup, measuring, filters, water tank,
pressing spoon. The internal circuit of the coffee­maker must then be pre-washed as follows:

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 up to
the upper mark (fig. 2). Inspection of the water
level is facilitated by a ball-shaped float. 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.
Remember to clean the reservoir regularly.

Coffee pre-wash

• Plug in at the power socket, remembering the
safety instructions.

• Press the ON/OFF switch (20). The ON/OFF
pilot lamp will switch on (23) (fig. 4).

• Press the delivery switch (21). The pump will
switch on (fig. 5).

• Wait until water begins to flow from the boiler
nozzle (fig. 6), then press the delivery switch again.

• After about 2 minutes, the “OK” pilot lamp
will light (24) (fig. 7).

• Press the delivery button again (21) allowing
water to flow from the boiler nozzle (fig. 6).

• After 15/20 seconds, press the delivery button again
to interrupt the flow of water from the nozzle (21).

• Wait until the water in the boiler returns to the
correct temperature. When the OK pilot lamp
lights, repeat the previous operation.

To ensure perfect pre-washing, repeat the above
procedure at least five or six times.

The machine is now ready for use.

“Steam” pre-wash.

After washing the coffee system, leave the
machine on and wash the steam system as
follows:

• Lift the milk tank lid (8) and fill the tank with
water to the max. level (see fig.8).

• Set the froth regulator to the right-hand
position (see fig.9).

• Place a container under the outlet to collect the
water.

• Press the steam switch (22). The pump will
come into operation.

• Water and steam will begin coming out of the
milk outlet.

• When the water in the milk tank has run out,
wait a few seconds until the indicator light
(25) comes on again. Then refill the milk tank
with water and repeat the whole operation.

• Repeat this at least five or six times to
completely pre-wash the system.

• The machine is now ready for normal use.

Features

To fit the filter-holder, place it under the boiler
nozzle (fig. 10). Then push the filter-holder
upwards and at the same time rotate it towards
the right as far as it will go.
A handy compartment in the lower section of the casing
can be used to store the measuring spoon (fig. 11)

Remember that the left side of the appliance becomes

very hot due to the positioning of the boiler.

MAKING ESPRESSO COFFEE

Some suggestions

• Always use cold water and keep the tank
clean.

• Begin brewing the coffee only when the
warning light “OK” coffee ready is lighted.

• Before making coffee, warm the coffee cups in
advance with hot water.

• For best results, it is important the coffee
grounds being used are those ground
especially for home espresso machines.

• The ideal dose of coffee is one level measure
(7 grams) for one cup of coffee and two
measures (7 + 7 grams) for two cups.

Preheating the Coffee Machine

In order to have coffee that is the right
temperature, it is important to pre heat the
machine by turning it on at least half an hour
before beginning the coffee making operations
and to make sure to leave the coffee filter holder
attached. After the half hour, as soon as the “OK”
warning light (24) turns on, make the coffee
according to the directions given below.
Alternatively, in order to pre-heat the machine
more quickly, you may also proceed in this way:

• Turn the machine on using the “ON/OFF”
switch (fig. 4).

• Attach the coffee filter holder with the filter but
without coffee. Place the cup under the filter
holder.

• Wait until the “OK” (fig. 7) light turns on and
then turn on the switch for dispensing coffee
and fill the coffee up to the brim. Stop the
brewing by pressing the switch again.

• Empty the cup of the water and repeat this
operation.

Preparing espresso coffee

• After having done the pre-heating as
described above, insert as necessary either the
1 or 2 cup filter (17) into the filter holder.

• Fill the filter with the coffee grounds
distributing them uniformly (fig. 13) and then
tamp them down with the coffee press (14). If
the coffee grounds are damp or very finely
ground, only a slight pressure will be
necessary. If on the other hand, the coffee is

dry or coarsely ground, a bit more pressure
might be necessary.

• Remove any extra coffee from around the
edges of the filter and attach the filter holder to
the machine as suggested above (fig. 10).

Turn the filter holder by the handle all the
way until it stops.

• Place the pre-warmed coffee cup onto the drip
tray, carefully placed under the coffee filter
spouts. When the “OK” (fig. 24) light is on,
turn on the coffee dispensing switch and
interrupt the dispensing of coffee only when
the amount of coffee desired is obtained.

• To release the filter holder, wait a few seconds
and then turn the handle from right to left.

• To remove the used coffee grounds, keep the
filter closed with the special lever built into the
handle and turn the filter holder upside down
and tap lightly (fig. 14).

If the machine will go unused for long periods of
time, turn off the machine and empty the tank of
any remaining water.
At the next usage, it is important to perform a pre­wash of the machine as has been previously
explained.

MAKING A CAPPUCCINO

Switch on the machine by pressing the ON/OFF
button (20) (fig.4). The ON/OFF indicator light
will come on, followed by the coffee-ready and
steam-ready indicator lights after a few minutes.

• Make a cup of coffee in a large cup (at least
120 cc.).

• At the same time, open the milk tank lid (8)
and pour in the amount of milk required (note:
the correct amount is as follows: 1/3 coffee,
1/3 milk and 1/3 emulsified milk). Do not
exceed the maximum level shown on the tank
(fig.8), otherwise, when the machine has
stopped dispensing emulsified milk, milk may
continue to drip from the outlet.
The milk must be fresh, and preferably cold.

• Place the cup of coffee under the milk outlet.

• Press the switch (22).

• After a few moments, heated, emulsified milk
and steam will begin coming out of the pipe.

• If you want hot milk (not frothy) move the froth
regulator to the right-hand position ; if you
want emulsified milk, move the froth regulator
