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
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
flush through the espresso function follow the instructions in the
paragraph “How to prepare espresso coffee” using just water.
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 professional.
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
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).The water level is shown
by a floating ball. Replace the tank in the housing, making sure the
tubes are in the water.
More simply, fill the tank by extracting it just enough to pour in the
water directly from a jug.
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 (fig. 3).
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. 4). 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 “OK” light comes on (fig. 5), then immediately
press the coffee button (fig. 6).Allow the water to run until the
OK indicator light goes out, then stop the water by pressing the
coffee button again (fig. 6).
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, the machine is ready to be used.
Insert the ground coffee filter with crema enhancer into the filter holder, making sure the tab is correctly inserted into the
housing as shown in fig. 7.
2. 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.
Note: Use good quality, finely-ground coffee for espresso coffee machines.
IMPORTANT: for correct operation, before adding ground
coffee to the filter holder, make sure the filter is free from
ground coffee from the previous infusion.
3. Distribute the ground coffee evenly and press it lightly with the
coffee tamper (fig. 9).
NOTE: Pressing the ground coffee is very important in order to
prepare a good coffee. However if you press too hard,coffee will
come out slowly and crema will be of a dark colour. If you press
too light, coffee will come out too fast and crema will be a very
light colour.
4. Remove any excess coffee from the rim of the filter holder.
Attach the filter holder to the machine by positioning the handle to
the left of the boiler outlet, then pushing upwards and turning the
handle to the right (as in preheating the machine fig. 4).
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 top plate for at least 15-20 minutes (fig. 11).
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 coffee has been obtained, interrupt delivery
by pressing the same button again (fig. 6).
7. To detach the filter holder, turn the handle from right to left.
To avoid splashing, do not detach the filter holder whilst
the machine is dispensing coffee.
8. To r emove the used coffee lock the filter with the built-in lever and let
the coffee fall out by knocking the over turned filter holder (fig. 12).
9. To turn the coffee machine off, press the ON/OFF button (fig.3).
