After unpacking, make sure that the machine is complete and undamaged. In case of doubt, do not use the appliance and seek the advice of a qualified service professional.

Packaging materials (plastic bags, foam polystyrene, etc.) should not be left within the reach of children as this could be a potential source of danger.

This appliance is to be utilised for domestic use only. Any other use is to be considered improper and therefore, dangerous.

The manufacturer takes no responsibility for damage derived from improper use.

HOW TO PREPARE DRIP COFFEE

PREPARING THE DRIP COFFEE

Lift the lid and remove the water tank located on the right (Fig. 1).

Fill the tank with fresh and clean water to the level marker corresponding to the number of cups of coffee being prepared, making sure not to exceed the MAX mark (Fig. 2).

Replace the tank in the machine, pressing it slightly so as to open the valve at the bottom of the tank. The tank can alternatively be left in place and filled using the drip coffee jug, which also has the level markings (Fig. 3).

Open the filter holder door by turning it to the right (Fig. 4).

Place the permanent filter (if suplied) or paper filter, into the filter holder (fig. 5).

Place the ground coffee in the filter using the measuring spoon supplied, making sure it is uniformly level (Fig. 6).

As a general rule, use one level measuring spoonful of coffee (about 7 grams) for each cup of coffee (for example, use 10 measures to make 10 cups of coffee).

Close the filter holder door and place the jug, with the lid on, on the hot plate.

Select the desired flavour as described in the paragraph “HOW TO CHOOSE THE FLAVOUR of the drip coffee”

Note: the coffee maker features the Flavour Saver device inside the filter holder for drip coffee; this increases the coffee brewing time and improves extraction, giving the coffee a full and intense flavour.

Press the DRIP COFFEE ON/OFF switch (Fig. 7). The DRIP COFFEE ON light above the switch will come on to indicate that the drip coffee maker is on.

The coffee will start to come out after a few seconds.

It is completely normal for the appliance to release a little steam while the coffee is percolating.

To keep the coffee hot after percolation, place the jug on the hot plate and leave the machine on (drip coffee light on): the coffee in the jug will be kept at the right temperature.

To switch the machine off, press the DRIP COFFEE ON/OFF switch.

HOW TO SELECT THE AROMA OF THE FILTER COFFEE

With the Flavour System , it is possible to select the aroma of the filter coffee depending on personal taste. By turning the aroma regulation knob of the coffee filter (fig. 8), the coffee machine can be programmed for a strong flavour (STRONG position) or a lighter flavour (LIGHT position).

The Flavour System feature changes the flavour of the coffee, more or less strong, while the true taste of the coffee remains unchanged.

HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE

FILLING THE WATER TANK:

Lift the lid and remove the water tank located on the left (Fig. 1) by pulling it upwards. Fill the tank with cold, clean water. Replace the tank by connecting the valve at the bottom of the tank with the hole in the base on the machine.

The tank may also be filled without removing it, simply by pouring water into it directly from a jug.

Note: Do not operate the appliance without water in the tank and always remember to fill the tank when theatre level goes below 2 cm.

PREHEATING THE COFFEE MACHINE

To obtain espresso coffee at the right temperature, the coffee maker must be preheated. Turn the selector knob to the position (Fig. 9) at least half an hour before making the coffee, making sure that the filter holder is attached to the appliance (check that the steam release knob is closed). To attach the filter holder, place it under the boiler outlet with the handle towards the left. Push upwards and at the same time turn the handle as far to the right as possible (fig. 10). To avoid leaks of water, rotate firmly. After half an hour, make coffee following the instructions of the next paragraph.

Alternatively, for a faster operation, proceed as follows:

1.Turn the selector knob so that the indented line on the selector knob points to the boiler on function (fig. 9). Attach the empty filter holder (without coffee) to the machine

2.Position a cup under the filter holder. Use the same cup that the coffee will be served in, so that it may be preheated.

3.Wait until the orange “OK” light comes on (fig. 11) and turn the selector knob to the espresso function

position (fig. 12). Allow water to flow until the orange “OK” light goes out, then stop the flow of water by turning the selector knob to the boiler on function (fig. 9).
