Setting up the appliance
Before using the machine for the first time, wash all the accessories in warm soapy water and rinse. For the best tasting coffee
the internal circuits must be flushed through at least five times. To
do this follow the instructions in the paragraphs “Filling the water
tank” and “preheating the coffee machine” using just water
and without coffee.
Installation
• Place the coffee maker on flat work surface at a safe distance
from taps and sinks.
• Check that the voltage corresponds to that indicated on the
appliance rating plate. The appliance must always be connected
to a well-earthed socket rated at 10A minimum. The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by inadequate earthing of
the appliance.
• If the cable is damaged or requires replacing, contact Customer
Services (refer to guarantee leaflet).
• Never install the machine in an environment that can reach a
temperature less than or equal to 0°C (if the water in it
freezes, the coffee maker may be damaged).
Electrical connection
Important - Uk only
· The wires in the cord are coloured as follows:
Green and Yellow = Earth
Blue = Neutral
Brown = Live.
· The appliance must be protected by a 13A approved (BS1362)
fuse.
· Warning: this appliance must be earthed.
Note:
· For non-rewireable plugs the fuse cover MUST be refitted when

How to prepare espresso coffee
Filling the water tank
To remove the water tank lift the lid (fig.1) and simply pull
upwards (fig 2) and fill the tank at the sink (fig 3). Do not exceed
the MAX level on the water tank. The tank may also be filled without removing it, simply by pouring water into it directly from a jug.
Replace the tank by connecting the valve at the bottom of the tank
with the hole in the base on the machine.
WARNING: it is completely normal for there to be water in the
compartment under the tank; as a result, this compartment should
be dried using a clean sponge.
Note: Do not operate the appliance without water in the tank
and always remember to fill the tank when the level drops to a
couple of centimetres from the bottom.
Preheating the coffee machine
To ensure your espresso coffee is dispensed at the right temperature it is essential that the coffee unit is preheated.
1. Press the ON/OFF button (the button lights up) (fig. 4).
2. Attach the empty filter holder (without coffee) to the machine
by positioning it under the boiler outlet with the handle
towards the left (fig. 5). Push upwards and at the same time
turn the handle as far right as possible. It does not matter if the
handle is not centrally aligned with the machine, as long as the
filter holder is firmly attached to the appliance.
3. Position a cup under the filter holder. Use the same cup that
the coffee will be served in, so that it may be preheated.
Wait until the “coffee ready" light on the Coffee Button comes
on (fig. 6), then immediately press the Coffee Button. Allow the
water to run until the “coffee ready" indicator light goes out,
then stop the water by pressing the Coffee Button again.
4. Empty the cup, wait until the “coffee ready" pilot light comes on
again and repeat the whole operation one more time.
(It is normal for a small and harmless puff of steam to be given off
when removing the filter holder).
