FILLING THE WATER TANK:
To remove the water tank simply pull upwards (fig 2)
and fill the tank at the sink. Do not exceed the MAX
level on the water tank (fig 3). 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. Push the ON/OFF
button (fig. 3) 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. 7). 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 machine on by pressing the ON/OFF button
(fig. 3).
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 “OK” light comes on or 3 minutes (fig.
5), press the 1-cup button (fig. 6) and allow water to
flow.
4. Empty the cup. (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.To turn the machine on, press the button . The on/off
light will turn on (Fig. 3).
2.After preheating the appliance as described in the
above paragraph
, remove the filter holder and to
prepare a single coffee, fill the filter with a level
measure of ground coffee, about 7 g (fig. 8).
To
prepare two coffees
, use the filter and fill with two
loosely filled measures of ground coffee (about 6+6
g). Fill the filter in small doses 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.
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. 4) 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. 9).
6.
Select quantity M1 (around 30cc) or M2 (around
50cc) by pressing the SET button
(fig. 10). The M1 or
M2 light will indicate the quantity selected. To change
the pre-set quantity, follow the instructions described in
the paragraph "HOW TO CHANGE THE PRE-SET
QUANTITIES M1 AND M2".
7. Wait until the “OK” light (fig. 5) comes on (in case,
wait until it stops flashing), then
press the 1 CUP
button (Fig. 6) or the 2 CUPS button
(fig. 11).
The machine will carry out a brief pre-infusion phase,
followed by a pause, and finally will complete the
infusion: this will bring out the full flavour of the coffee.
The machine will automatically stop delivering coffee
upon reaching the selected quantity.
8. To detach the filter holder, turn the handle from the right
to the left.
9.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).
NOTE: The delivery of the coffee can be stopped manually
by pressing the 1cup button or 2 cups button
When delivery is complete, more coffee can be made by
pressing the 1 cup button or 2 cups button within
five seconds from when delivery stops.
To avoid any splashing, do not detach the filter holder
while the machine is dispensing coffee.
10.To switch the machine off, press the button (fig. 3).
11.
Regularly check the level indicator for the water in the
drip tray. When the red indicator is seen on the tray,
empty the tray (The drip tray should normally be
emptied after 12 cups of coffee).
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

HOW TO SET THE COFFEE TEMPERATURE
The machine allows the coffee temperature to be set: hot
coffee or alternatively very hot coffee .
To set the temperature, press the SET button and the
button together for 5 seconds (Fig. 13). The or light
will turn on to indicate the selected temperature.
AUTO-OFF FUNCTION
The machine will switch off automatically one hour after
the last operation (coffee or cappuccino). To deactivate the
auto-off function, press the SET and ON/OFF buttons
together for around 5 seconds.
To re-activate the
function, repeat the operation.
HOW TO PREPARE COFFEE USING THE FILTER
HOLDER FOR PODS (if fitted)
1.Press the filter holder button and insert the pod into
the filter (fig. 14). Follow the instructions on the pod’s
box to pur correctly the pod oon the filter.
Note: Use pods which conform to the ESE standard:
this will be indicated on the packaging by the
following symbol:
The ESE standard is a system accepted by the leading
coffee pod manufacturers, and allows espresso coffee
to be prepared simply and without any mess.
2.Attach the filter holder onto the machine, moving
from left to right
Note: to ensure effective closure and avoid leaks of
water from the rim of the filter holder, you are
recommended to grease the bottom of the lateral tabs
from time to time with butter or oil (as shown in fig. 33).
IMPORTANT: Should the coffee holder for pods be
used after one for ground coffee, it’s necessary to
clear the ground coffee remained in the espresso
boiler outlet (fig.15). This cleaning operation is
necessary in order to avoid water leackeges from
the coffe holder for pods whele coffee is being
preposed.
3.Proceed as in points 5, 6 and 7 of the previous
paragraph (how to prepare espresso coffee using the
filter holder for ground coffee).
4.To remove the pod, press the button on the filter
holder and simply lift the pod out
5.
To switch off the machine, press the on/off button (fig.3).
HOW TO CHANGE THE PRE-SET QUANTITIES M1 AND
M2
The machine has been factory-set to automatically deliver
two specific quantities of coffee:
- M1 normal espresso coffee = around 30cc;
- M2 long espresso coffee = around 50cc.
The pre-set quantities refer to espresso coffee made
using the filter holder for ground coffee. As the filter
holder for pods is different from the filter holder for
ground coffee, slightly more espresso coffee will be
made using the pods
These quantities can be changed as follows:
1. Follow the instructions described in points 1 to 6 in the
chapter “HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE
USING THE FILTER HOLDER FOR GROUND COFFEE”.
2. Press the SET button to select the pre-set quantity, M1
or M2, that you wish to change
and wait for at least
5 seconds.
3.
To change the set quantity for 1 cup, press the SET
button and the 1 cup button together for at least 5
seconds
(fig16). While to change the set quantity for 2
cups, press the SET button and the 2 cups button
together for at least 5 seconds
(fig 17). The M1 or M2
light will flash to indicate that the reprogramming
operation is in progress, and the machine will start to
make the coffee.
4. As soon as the coffee in the cup has reached the
required quantity, press the SET button to save the new
value
(fig. 10).
HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO
1.Prepare espresso coffee, using cups that are large
enough for cappuccinos
2.
Press the button(fig. 18); the OK light (Fig.19)
will start to flash.
3.When the light stops flashing and remains on, the
machine has reached the ideal temperature for the
production of steam.
4.In the meantime, fill a container with approximately
100 gr. of milk for each cappuccino to be prepared.
The milk must be cold from the refrigerator (not
warm!). In choosing the container, bear in mind that
the volume of the milk will increase by 2 or 3 times.
NOTE: We suggest you used semi-skimed milk at
refrigerator temperature.
5.Position the container with the milk in it under the
milk frother (fig. 20).
6.Immerse the cappuccino maker nozzle about 2 cm
deep into the milk and turn the steam knob in an
anti-clockwise direction, fig. 21 (by turning the knob
to a greater or lesser extent, it is possible to vary the
quantity of steam that comes out from the cappuccino
maker). At this point, the milk will begin to increase
in volume and to appear frothy.
7.Once the desired temperature has been reached (the
ideal temperature is 60°C), stop the delivery of steam
by turning the steam knob in a clockwise direction.
After having used the steam, some steam may be
14
Page 4
released from the drip tray; this is due to a special
device that eliminates the residual steam in the boiler,
releasing it into the tray.
8.Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the
espresso coffee. Your cappuccino is now ready. Add
sugar to taste and, if desired, sprinkle a little
powdered chocolate on top of the froth.
NOTE: After having finished preparing
cappuccinos, coffee cannot be made while the OK
light is flashing, for safety reasons.
To reduce this delay time, the machine can be cooled
down quickly, as follows: open the steam knob and
release the water from the milk frother (Fig.20) until
the coffee OK light stops flashing.
Note: to prepare more than one cappuccino, first
make all the coffees then at the end prepare the
frothed milk for all the cappuccinos.
IMPORTANT: always clean the milk frother and steam
nozzle immediately after use. Proceed as follows:
1. By turning the steam knob (fig. 21), allow a little
steam to come out for a few seconds.
2. Hold the upper part tight with one hand and use
your other hand to unscrew the cappuccino maker,
rotating it in a clockwise direction, and remove it
from the nozzle (fig. 22).
3. Remove the steam nozzle by sliding it off the
delivery tube.
4. Wash the cappuccino maker and steam nozzle
thoroughly with warm water.
5. Make sure the two holes indicated with an arrow in
fig. 23 are not blocked. If necessary, clean with a
pin.
6. Replace the steam nozzle by inserting it into the
steam delivery tube and rotating firmly (fig. 24).
7. Replace the milk frother by inserting it and rotating
anticlockwise (fig. 25).
PRODUCING HOT WATER
1.Turn the machine on by pressing the on/off button (fig.
3).
2.Position a container under the cappuccino maker.
3.
When the OK light stays on, turn the steam knob
anticlockwise
(fig. 21): hot water will be released from
the milk frother;
4.To stop the release of hot water, turn the steam knob
clockwise.
