Thank you for choosing this coffee machine. To get the very
best out of your new coffee machine it is advisable to read
these instructions before using the appliance. This is the only
way to ensure optimum results and maximum safety.
Using for the first time
Carefully unpack the coffee maker and remove all the packaging
material. Before using wash the accessories and surfaces. Do not
immerse the coffee maker in water; simply wipe with a cloth and
mild detergent if necessary. Do not put in the dishwasher or use
harsh, abrasive cleaners.
For the best tasting results prior to making coffee we recommend
that you flush the coffee maker out with cold water only, without
using coffee to remove any dust which may still be inside the coffee maker. To do this follow the directions ‘Preparing the coffee’.
Installation
• Place the coffee maker on a 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.
• In the event of incompatibility between the plug on the appliance and the socket, have the plug replaced by a qualified service engineer.
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 (the appliance may be
damaged if the water freezes).

How to prepare the espresso coffee
1 Unscrew the water tank cap by turning it anti-clockwise.
2Using the carafe supplied (fig. 1) pour water into the boiler (fig.
2) according to the amounts shown in the table on page 10.
Do not exceed the amounts shown as this could cause the
appliance to malfunction.
While filling the boiler make sure the ON/OFF switch is in the
OFF position.
3 Carefully close the boiler cap by turning it clockwise.
4 Insert the filter into the filter-holder. (fig. 3).
5 Fill the filter with ground coffee using the measures described in
the table (page 10) about 7 g per cup. Fill the filter evenly in
small doses to prevent the ground coffee from overflowing. (fig.
4).
IMPORTANT: Before adding the ground coffee to the filter
holder, make sure there is no coffee left from previous usage.
It is important to use medium ground coffee. (Avoid using too
finely ground coffee otherwise the filter can become blocked).
6 Remove any excess coffee from the filter rim (fig. 5).
7 Attach the filter holder to the machine by positioning the han-
dle to the left of the boiler outlet, then pushing upwards and
turning the handle to the right (fig. 6).
8Place the carafe with the lid on the drip tray, make sure the
nozzles on the filter holder fit inside the opening on the carafe’s
lid (fig. 7).
Make sure that the steam knob is turned off.
