If the cable is damaged or requires replacing, contact a service centre authorised by the manufacturer only.

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).

HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE

FILLING THE WATER TANK:

To remove the water tank 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.

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

PREHEATING THE COFFEE MACHINE

To obtain espresso coffee at the right temperature, the coffee maker must be preheated. Turn the selector knob to theposition (fig. 4) at least half an hour before making the coffee, making sure 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 (fig. 5). Push upwards and at the same time turn the handle as far to the right as possible. 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. 4). 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 6) and turn the selector knob to the espresso function

position (fig 7). 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 4)

4.Empty the cup, wait until the “OK” 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).

HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING THE FILTER HOLDER FOR GROUND COFFEE

1.After preheating the appliance as described above, place the ground coffee filter in the filter holder, making sure the projection is correctly inserted in the slot as shown in fig. 8. For appliances with two filters, use the smallest for one coffee and the largest for two coffees.

2.To make a single coffee only, place one level measure of ground coffee, about 7 grams, in the filter (fig. 9). To prepare two coffees, place two loosely filled measures of ground coffee (about 6+6 g) in the filter.

Fill the filter a little at a time to prevent the ground coffee from overflowing.

IMPORTANT: For correct operation, before adding the ground coffee to the filter holder, make sure the filter is free from ground coffee from the previous infusion.

3.Distribute the ground coffee uniformly and press it lightly with the pressing pad (Fig. 10).

NOTE:Pressing the coffee is very important in order to prepare a food coffee. However if you press too hard, coffee will come out slowly and cream will be of a dark colour. If you press to light, coffee will come out too fast and cream will be a very light color.

4.Remove any excess coffee from the rim of the filter holder and attach the filter holder to the appliance.

Rotate firmly (fig. 5) to avoid leaks of water.

5.Place the cup or cups (cups can be preheated by rinsing under hot water) on the black part of the removable drip tray (fig 11). Ensure that the cup or cups line up with the dispensing holes on the filter holder.

6.Wait until the “OK” light comes on (fig 6) then turn

the selector knob to the espresso function (fig 7) until the desired quantity of coffee is obtained. To stop the delivery, turn the selectoor to the position.

7.To detach the filter holder, turn the handle from right to left.

To avoid any splashing, do not detach the filter holder while the machine is dispensing coffee.

8.To remove the used coffee, hold the filter locked with the special lever that is built into the handle and let the coffee fall out by knocking the overturned filter holder (Fig. 12).

9.To switch off the coffee machine, turn the selector knob on the appliance to the OFF position “O” (fig 13)

ATTENTION: The first time that coffee is prepared, it is necessary to wash all of the accessories and the internal circuits of the machine, preparing at least five coffees without using the ground coffee.
