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

to the left (fig.9).

• When you have the required amount of milk,
press the switch (22) .and move the froth
regulator fto the left again. The flow of
milk will stop immediately.

• When making cappuccino in sequence, always
wait for the steam-ready indicator light (25) to
come on.

HEATING LIQUIDS

This appliance can also heat liquids other than
milk, with excellent results.

• 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.

• Pour the liquid to be heated (water, pre-mixed
chocolate milk etc.) into the milk tank.

• Set the froth regulator to the right-hand
position and place a cup under the outlet.

• When the “OK” steam-ready light comes on,
press the steam button (22). The liquid will
start coming out.
When the desired quantity of liquid has come
out, press the steam button (22) again.

• Caution: check the level of water in the water
tank from time to time and top it up when
necessary. The pump may be damaged if it is
allowed to operate without water.
If the machine has difficulty pumping water
while it is being refilled, switch it off and try

again when it has completely cooled.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

• Before carrying out any cleaning operations of
the exterior parts, switch the machine off,
remove the plug from the socket and leave the
machine to cool.

• Do not use solvents, detergents or abrasive
products to clean the machine. A soft damp
cloth is sufficient.

• Clean the filter-holder, filters, drip tray and
water reservoir regularly.

• Do not immerse the appliance in water.

CLEANING OF THE MILK TANK

CAUTION:

Clean the milk tank immediately after use, in order
to remove any milk deposit.

• Set up the machine as if to make a
cappuccino.

• Half fill the milk tank with water.

• Place a bowl or other container under the milk
outlet.

• Press the steam button (22).

• This operation rinses the tank and all the
internal parts.

We recommend a more thorough clean once a
week, as follows:

• Switch off the machine, unplug the cord and
leave the machine to cool.

• Remove the milk tank lid (8) (fig.15).

• With one hand, push the release lever to the
left and raise the tank at the same time (see
fig.16).

• When the milk tank has been removed, the
sliding lock (5) must be moved towards the
inside (see fig.17) to give access to the internal
parts.

• Lift the emulsion chamber lid (7) (see fig. 17).

• Take off the rubber emulsifier, taking note of
the mounting direction (fig.18).

• Rinse the rubber emulsifier, the small block
and the tank with hot water: take care not to
lose the washers!

• The milk outlet pipe is easier to clean with the
small cleaning brush supplied (see fig.19).

• When all the parts have been cleaned

reassemble the machine, taking care not to
break any parts or assemble them
incorrectly.

In particular, make sure the rubber emulsifier
is mounted in place, taking care to insert it as
far as it goes and the emulsion chamber lid is
correctly positioned, then move the sliding lock
to keep it in place.
Fit the milk tank into place, pushing down until
it clicks (check that it is properly positioned by
trying to raise it slightly).

Caution: it is not possible to remove the
emulsion chamber lid without first removing
the tank from the machine.

Incorrect assembly could affect the machine’s
performance.

DESCALING

It is advisable to de-scale the appliance every 4
months or after approx. 250 coffees or cappuccini.
De-scale using water and vinegar as follows:

• Fill the water tank (9) with water, diluting
100cc of vinegar.

• Operate the machine by pressing the
ON/OFF switch.
Wait for the steam-ready indicator light and
the coffee-ready indicator light to come on,
press the steam switch until the tank has been
emptied, then rinse. (During this operation,
steam will be emitted from the milk outlet).

• Repeat the above instructions filling once more
the water tank (9) with water, diluting 100cc
of vinegar and operate the machine as
thought making coffee until the tank has been
emptied.

• Repeat this procedure 2 - 3 times with fresh
water only until there is no more smell of
vinegar.

Descaling with other substances may be
hazardous to your health.

A) If your appliance comes fitted with a plug, it will incorporate a 13

Amp fuse. If it does not fit your socket, the plug should be cut off
from the mains lead, and an appropriate plug fitted, as below.
WARNING: Very carefully dispose of the cut off plug after
removing the fuse: do not insert in a 13 Amp socket elsewhere in
the house as this could cause a shock hazard.
With alternative plugs not incorporating a fuse, the circuit must be
protected by a 15 Amp fuse.

If the plug is a moulded-on type, the fuse cover must be re-fitted
when changing the fuse using a 13 Amp Asta approved fuse to BS

1362. In the event of losing the fuse cover, the plug must NOT be
used until a replacement fuse cover can be obtained from your
nearest electrical dealer. The colour of the correct replacement fuse
cover is that as marked on the base of the plug.
