SAFETY WARNINGS
• This machine is designed to “make coffee” and
to “heat drinks”: be careful to avoid scalding
from the water and steam jets or by using the
machine incorrectly.
• Do not touch hot parts (outlet area in contact
with the filter holder and the warming plate).
• After removing the packaging, make sure the
appliance is complete and undamaged. If in
doubt, do not use the appliance and contact
qualified personnel only.
• This appliance must be used for exclusively
domestic purposes. All other uses are considered improper and thus dangerous.
• The manufacturer may not be considered liable
for damage deriving from improper, incorrect
or unreasonable use of the appliance.
• Never touch the appliance with wet or damp
hands or feet.
• Never allow the appliance to be used by children or unfit persons without surveillance.
• Children must be supervised at all times to
ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• If the appliance breaks down or malfunctions,
turn it off. Do not attempt to repair it. For
repairs, contact an authorized Service Centre
only and request original spare parts. Failure
to observe the above points may affect the
safety of the appliance.
• The power cable of this appliance must never
be replaced by the user as it requires the use of
special tools. If the power cable is damaged or
needs replacing, contact an authorized Service Centre.
• Remove the plug from the mains socket and
turn off the main switch when the appliance is
not in use. Do not leave the appliance switched
on unnecessarily.
•Never immerse the appliance in water.

ENGLISH
INSTALLATION
• Place the appliance on a work surface far
away from water taps and basins.
• Before use, make sure the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage indicated on the rating
plate on the appliance. Connect the appliance
to a correctly-earthed power socket (minimum
rating 10A) only. The manufacturer declines all
liability for any accidents due to the incorrect
earthing of the appliance.
• Never install the machine in environments
where the temperature may reach 0°C or
lower (the appliance may be damaged if the
water freezes).
• Adjust the exact time by pressing and at the
same time turning the knob (T) clockwise (fig.
1).
CHLORINE FILTER (IF FITTED)
The filter eliminates the taste of chlorine from the
water. To install the filter, proceed as follows :
• Remove the chlorine filter from the plastic bag
and rinse in tap water.
• Lift the water tank cap and remove the filter
holder from its housing by pulling upwards
(fig. 2).
•Open the holder by pressing in the area
marked "PUSH" and place the filter carefully in
the holder as indicated in fig. 3.
•Close the holder and replace in its housing by
pressing downwards as far as it will go.
•After 80 cycles or six months of operation, the
chlorine filter must be replaced.
HOW TO PREPARE THE DRIP COFFEE
• Lift the cap and remove the water tank (Fig. 4).
• Fill the tank with fresh, clean water up to the
level corresponding to the number of cups of
coffee required.
• Place the tank back in the coffee maker, pressing it lightly. The tank may also be filled
without being removed, using the jug marked
with the level indicators (Fig. 5).
•Open the filter holder by rotating towards the
left (fig. 6).
• Position the permanent filter (if fitted) in the filter holder (fig. 7). In other versions, use the #4
paper filter.
• Place the ground coffee in the filter, using the
measure supplied, and level evenly (Fig. 8). As
a general rule, use a level measuring spoon of
ground coffee (around 7 grams) for each cup
(for example, 8 spoons to make 8 cups). If you
prepare 11-12 cups, reduce the quantity of
coffee and never exceed a maximum of 11
level spoons. The quantity of ground coffee
used may, however, be varied according to
personal taste. Use good quality, medium
ground coffee, packaged for drip coffee
makers.
• Close the filter holder and place the jug on the
warming plate with the lid on. Make sure it is
central.
•Press the "ON/OFF" switch (Fig. 9). The ON
light above the switch indicates that the coffee
maker is in operation.
• The coffee will start to come out after a few
seconds. It is completely normal for the
appliance to release a little steam while the
coffee is percolating.
• If the “ON/OFF” switch is left in the ON position after percolation, the warming plate will
keep the coffee at the ideal temperature.
Important: removing the jug before all the coffee requested is made does not interrupt production of the coffee, but merely blocks flow
into the jug. If you want to pour out a little coffee immediately, you are recommended to do
so as rapidly as possible in order to avoid the
coffee overflowing.
Important: the timer enables you to have your coffee ready and waiting whenever you want.
1Turn the knob (T) until the red pointer indicates
the time when you want the coffee to be ready
(fig. 10).
2Press the "Timer On" button. The corresponding
light comes on (fig. 11).
Important: the appliance has an electric clock.
Make sure the appliance is plugged into the mains
electricity supply by watching the seconds pointer
turn. The appliance has a 12 hour clock, so programming must be for less than this time.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before performing any cleaning or maintenance
operations, turn the machine off, unplug it from the
power socket and allow it to cool down.
1. When cleaning the coffee maker, do not use
solvents or abrasive detergents. A soft, damp
cloth is sufficient.
2. Never immerse the coffee maker in water: it is
an electrical appliance.
CLEANING THE FLAVOUR SELECTOR
To clean the flavour selector more efficiently, it can
be removed from the filter holder cone by sliding it
upwards (Fig. 12). To replace, simply slide in from
above.
DESCALING
If the water in your local area is hard, lime scale
will form over time. These deposits may affect the
correct operation of the appliance.
The coffee maker must be descaled every 40
cycles. The descaling process may be performed
using special commercially-available scale removers for drip coffee makers. Alternatively, white
wine vinegar can be used as follows:
1. Remove the chlorine filter.
2. Pour 2 cups of white wine vinegar and 3 cups
of water into the tank. Place the tank in the coffee maker;
3. Place the jug on the warming plate, do not put
any ground coffee in the filter holder;
4. Press the drip coffee ON/OFF switch, percolate the equivalent of one cup and then switch off
the appliance;
5. Leave the vinegar to act for one hour;
6. Switch the coffee maker back on and percolate the rest of the solution;
7. To rinse the machine, operate it with water and
without ground coffee at least 3 times (3 complete tanks of water).

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead may not correspond with
the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as
follows:
The green and yellow wire must be connected to the terminal in the plug
marked with the letter E or the earth symbol or coloured green or
green and yellow.
The blue wire must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter
N or coloured black.
The brown wire must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured red.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION (UK ONLY)
A) If your appliance comes fitted with a plug, it will incorporate a 13
Amp fuse. If it does not fit your socket, the plug should be cut off
from the mains lead, and an appropriate plug fitted, as below.
WARNING: Very carefully dispose of the cut off plug after removing the fuse: do not insert in a 13 Amp socket elsewhere in the
house as this could cause a shock hazard.
With alternative plugs not incorporating a fuse, the circuit must be
protected by a 15 Amp fuse.
If the plug is a moulded-on type, the fuse cover must be re-fitted
when changing the fuse using a 13 Amp Asta approved fuse to BS
1362. In the event of losing the fuse cover, the plug must NOT be
used until a replacement fuse cover can be obtained from your
nearest electrical dealer. The colour of the correct replacement fuse
cover is that as marked on the base of the plug.
B) If your appliance is not fitted with a plug, please follow the instruc-
tions provided below:
