SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

-A short power cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord.

- Longer, detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care
is exercised in their use.

- If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance. If the appliance is provided with 3- wire, grounding type cord,
the extension should be a GROUNDING TYPE 3 - WIRE CORD. The longer cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape over the counter-top or table top where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over.

-Your product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade
wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature.
If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should
still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:

• Read all instructions.

• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles and knobs.

•To protect against fire, electrical shock and personal injury, do not immerse cord, plug
or appliance in water or other liquid.

• Never allow the appliance to be used by children.

• Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before fitting
or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.

• Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or
has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized
service facility for examination, repair or adjustment.

• The use of accessory attachments or spare parts not recommended by the appliance
manufacturer may result in fire, electrical shock or personal injury.

• Do not use outdoors.

• Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

• Do not place on or near a hot gas or electrical burner, or in a heated oven.

• Plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn any control to “off”, then remove plug
from wall outlet.

use of special tools. In the event of damage, contact
an authorized service center only to avoid all risks.

INSTALLATION

• Place the appliance on a work surface away from
taps and sinks.

• Check that the voltage of the outlet corresponds to
the value indicated on the appliance rating plate.
Connect the appliance to an efficiently grounded
electrical socket with a minimum rating of 10A only.
The manufacturer declines all liability for any
accidents caused by the absence of an efficient
ground system.

• If the plug fitted to the appliance does not match the
power socket, have the outlet replaced with a
suitable type by a qualified electrician.

• Never install the appliance in environments where
the temperature may reach 0°C (32°F) or lower (the
appliance may be damaged if the water freezes).

HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE

FILLING THE WATER TANK

Remove the tank by pulling sideways and lifting the
intake tubes out of the water (fig. 1).
Rinse and fill with clean cold water (fig 2). Check the
water level by viewing the floating ball. Replace the
tank in the housing, making sure the tubes are in the
water.
Fill the tank by extracting it just enough to pour in the
water directly from a jug.

PREHEATING THE COFFEE UNIT

To obtain espresso coffee at the right temperature, the
coffee machine must be preheated. You are therefore
recommended to press the ON/OFF button (fig. 3) at
least 15 minutes before preparing the espresso,

making sure the filter holder is attached to the
appliance (check that the steam knob is closed).

To attach the filter holder, position it under the boiler
outlet with the handle towards the left (fig. 4), push it
upwards while at the same time rotating the handle
towards the right. Rotate firmly. Wait for 15 minutes,
then make the coffee as described in the following
chapter.
Alternatively, you can preheat more rapidly by
proceeding as follows:

1.Press the ON/OFF button (fig. 3) and attach the filter
holder to the appliance without adding ground

coffee.

2.Place a cup under the filter holder. Use the same cup
as will be used to prepare the coffee in order to
preheat it.

3.Wait for the OK indicator light to come on (fig. 5),
then immediately press the coffee knob (fig. 6). Run
the water off until the OK indicator light goes out,
then interrupt delivery by pressing the coffee button
again (fig. 6).

4.Empty the cup, detach the filter holder and empty out
the hot water.

(It is normal for a small and harmless puff of steam to
be emitted when removing the filter holder).

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

1.After preheating the appliance as described in the
paragraph above, place the ground coffee filter in
the filter holder. Make sure the tab is correctly
inserted in the slot as shown in fig. 7 otherwise you
will not be able to attach the filter holder to the
appliance. The appliance comes with two filters; the
small filter should be used for one coffee and the
large filter for two coffees.

2.To make a single coffee only, place one level measure
of ground coffee, about 7 grams (0.24 oz), in the filter
(fig. 8). To prepare two coffees, place two loosely
filled measures of ground coffee (about 6+6 g - 0.42
oz) in the filter. Fill the filter a little at a time to prevent
the ground coffee from overflowing.

IMPORTANT: to ensure correct operation, before
placing the ground coffee in the filter holder, clean the
filter of residues of ground coffee from the previous
infusion.

3.Distribute the ground coffee evenly and tamp lightly
with the tamper (fig. 9).

Note: Correct tamping of the ground coffee is
essential to obtain a good espresso. If tamping is
excessive, espresso delivery will be slow and the
crema will be dark. If tamping is too light, coffee
delivery will be too rapid and the froth will be skimpy
and light colored.

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

(fig. 4) to avoid water leaking out.

5.Place the cup or cups under the filter holder spouts
(fig. 10). You are recommended to heat the cups
before making the coffee by rinsing them with a little
hot water or placing them to warm on the storage
tray for at least 15-20 minutes (fig. 26).

6.Make sure the OK indicator light (fig. 5) is on (if it is
off, wait until it comes on), then press the coffee
button (fig. 6). Once the required quantity of
espresso has been obtained, interrupt delivery by
pressing the same button again (fig. 6).

7.To remove the filter holder, rotate the handle from
right to left.

IMPORTANT: to avoid splashes, never remove the
filter holder while the appliance is delivering
espresso.

8.To dispose of the used coffee, block the filter in place
using the lever incorporated in the handle then empty
the grounds by turning the filter holder upside down
and tapping (fig. 11).

9.To turn the coffee machine off, press the ON/OFF
