ENGLISH
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.
• 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):
HOW TO PREPARE DRIP COFFEE
• Raise the lid and remove the water tank (fig.
1).
• Fill the tank with cold, clean water, up to the
level indicated on the tank corresponding to
the number of cups of coffee that are desired
(fig. 2).
• Insert the tank into the machine by pressing it
slightly. If desired, the tank can be left in its
place and to fill it, the drip coffee pot can be
used which also has the level indicators on it
(fig. 3).
• Open the filter holder by swinging it out to the
left (fig. 4).
• Place the paper filter into the filter holder (fig.
5). We recommend using #4 type paper filters.
• Put the ground coffee into the filter by using the
measuring spoon included with the machine
and level off the grounds uniformly (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). In any case, the quantity of
ground coffee to use can vary according to the
strength desired and personal taste. Use high
quality ground coffee, with a medium grind
and the kind packaged especially for drip coffee makers.
• Close the filter holder and place the pot, with
its lid inserted, onto the hot plate.
• Select the aroma desired as indicated in the
paragraph “How to select the aroma”.
•Press the “ON/OFF” switch for drip coffee (fig.
7). The ON indicator light for drip coffee
above the switch itself indicates that the coffee
machine filter is functioning properly.
• If more than five cups of coffee are desired,
press the switch ( ) (fig. 8)
and the 5/10 cup indicator light will light up.
If, on the other hand, five or fewer cups of coffee are desired, the switch should not be
pressed. In this way, the hot water will flow
more slowly through the ground coffee and a
more flavourful beverage will be obtained.
• The brewed coffee will begin to drip out after
a few seconds. It is completely normal that
during the percolation of the coffee, some
steam may escape from the machine.
• If you keep “ON/OFF” switch for drip coffee
ion the ON position after the percolation, the
warming plate will mantain the hot coffee at
an ideal drinking temperature.
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. 9), 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
1. Unscrew the plug of the hot water heater tank
by turning it in a counter-clockwise direction.
2. Using the level indications stamped on the
WATER LEVEL side, fill the small pot with the
amount of water suggested (fig. 10) according
to the number of cups of espresso coffee that
are desired (see the chart at the end of this
text).
3. Pour the water into the hot water heater tank
(fig. 11).
4. Replace the plug in the hot water heater tank
6
10 5
by turning firmly in a clockwise direction.
5. Insert the filter for espresso coffee into the filter
holder (fig. 12).
6. Fill the filter with the ground coffee, respecting
the dosages indicated in the chart at the end of
this text and distribute it uniformly in the filter
(fig. 13). It is important to use the highest quality coffee and having a medium grind in order
to avoid the obstruction of the filter during the
brewing. Remove any excess coffee from
around the edges of the filter (fig. 14).
7. To attach the filter holder to the appliance, position it under the hot water drip spout with the
handle towards the left, see fig. 15. Push
upwards, and at the same time, turn the handle
towards the right. Always turn right to the end.
8. Place the coffee pot for espresso coffee under
the filter holder so that the spout where the coffee exits the filter is inside of the opening found
on the lid of the coffee pot (fig. 16).
9. Position the “Vario System” selector according
the type of espresso coffee desired: “LIGHT”
for a lighter coffee and “STRONG” for a
stronger tasting brew (fig. 17).
10.Make sure that the steam release knob is
closed.
11.Push the ON/OFF switch for espresso/cappuccino. The ON indicator light for espresso/cappuccino will turn on (fig. 18).
12.After approximately two minutes, the espresso
coffee will begin to flow out (fig. 19).
ATTENTION: to avoid spraying, never detach
the filter holder while the machine in brewing
coffee.
13.When the coffee no longer flows out from the
filter holder, push the ON/OFF switch for
espresso/cappuccino to turn off the hot water
heater (fig. 18). Pour the coffee into the cups.
14.Before removing the filter holder, it is important
to eliminate all of the residual steam from the
inside of the hot water heater to avoid puffs of
steam. Allow it to blow out completely by
rotating the steam release knob (fig. 20).
15.To dispose of used grounds in the filter, first
remove the filter holder by turning the handle
to the left. Using the special lever in the handle
to keep the filter in place, remove the grounds
by turning the filter holder upside down and
srtikinggently. (fig. 21).
NOTE: For safety reasons, when the hot water
heater is hot, it is not possible to remove its plug as
it will spin without opening. If for any reason it is
necessary to remove it, it is important to always
release the steam in the hot water tank by acting
on the steam release knob as described in the previous point.
HOW TO USE THE TWO CUP ATTACHMENT
The attachment allow espresse coffee to drip
directly into the cups at the same time. To mount
the attachment, fit it to the lower part of the filter
holder by attaching the bracket to the handle of the
filter holder (fig. 22).
CARE BEFORE INITIAL USE: The first time that
coffee is prepared, it is necessary to wash all of
the accessories and the internal circuits of the
machine as follows:
• For the coffee machine filter: make at least two
pots of coffee without using the ground coffee
in the filter (following the instructions in the
paragraph How to prepare the drip coffee );
• For the espresso coffee: make at least four
cups of espresso coffee without using ground
coffee in the filter (following the instructions in
the paragraph How to prepare the espresso
coffee);
HOW TO PREPARE CAPPUCCINO
• If you wish txo “cappuccino, prepare the
espresso coffee as described in the paragraph
“How to prepare espresso coffee” from points
1 through 12; using however, the quantity of
water necessary to obtain 2 cappuccinos as
indicated in the chart at the end of this text.
Note that the quantity of water required for
making cappuccinos is greater that the amount
necessary for making espresso coffee: the
extra water is used for the production of steam
for frothing the milk.
•Brew the coffee into the small espresso coffee
pot. When the darker coloured coffee (which
lies under the lighter coffee coloured froth)
reaches the level 2 on the “COFFEE LEVEL”
side of the small espresso pot (fig. 23), place
the Vario System selector to the “cappuccino”
mode (fig. 17). Careful attention must be paid
