water taps, basins and sources of heat.

• After positioning the appliance on the work top,

leave a space of at least 5 cm between the surfaces
of the appliance and the side and rear walls and at
least 20 cm above the coffee maker.

• Never install the appliance in environments where

the temperature may reach 0°C or lower (the
appliance may be damaged if the water freezes).

• Check that the voltage of the mains power supply

corresponds to the value indicated on the appliance
rating plate.

HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE

FILLING THE WATER TANK

1. Open the water tank lid (fig. 1) and then take out

the tank by pulling upwards (fig. 2).

2. Fill the tank with fresh clean water taking care not

to exceed the MAX level (fig. 3).
Replace the tank, pressing lightly to open the valve
located on the bottom of the tank.

3. More simply, the tank can also be filled without

removing it, pouring the water directly from a jug.
IMPORTANT: It is normal for there to be water in the
space under the tank. This should therefore be dried
regularly with a clean sponge.

NB: Never use the appliance without water in the tank
and always remember to top up when the level drops
to a couple of centimetres from the bottom.

PREHEATING THE COFFEE UNIT

To obtain espresso coffee at the right temperature, the
coffee machine must be preheated. Turn the selector
knob to the position (fig. 4) at least 15 to 30
minutes before making the coffee, 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 (see fig. 5), push
it upwards and at the same time rotate the handle
towards the right. Rotate firmly.
Wait for half an hour, then make the coffee as
described in the following chapter.
Alternatively, preheating can be achieved more rapidly
proceeding as follows:

1.Turn the appliance on by rotating the selector knob to

the position (fig. 4) 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. 6),

then immediately rotate the selector knob to the
position (fig. 7), run the water off until the OK
indicator light goes out, then interrupt delivery by
rotating the selector knob to the position (fig. 6).

4.Empty the cup. Wait until the OK indicator light

comes on again then repeat the same operation.

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

1.After preheating the appliance as described above,
place the ground coffee filter in the filter holder,
making sure the projection is correctly inserted in the
slot as shown in fig. 8.
Use the smaller filter to make one coffee or the larger
filter to make two coffees.

2.To make a single coffee only, place one level measure
of ground coffee, about 7 grams, in the filter (fig. 9).
To prepare two coffees, place two loosely filled
measures of ground coffee (about 6+6 g) in the filter.
Fill the filter a little at a time to prevent the ground
coffee from overflowing.

IMPORTANT: for correct operation, before adding the
ground coffee to the filter holder, clean the filter from
residues of ground coffee from the previous infusion.

3.Distribute the ground coffee evenly and press lightly
with the pressing pad (fig. 10).

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

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

Rotate firmly (fig. 5) to avoid leaks of water.

5.Place the cup or cups (ideally preheated by rinsing
with a little hot water) under the filter holder spouts
(fig. 11).

6.Make sure the OK light (fig. 6) is on (if off, wait until
it comes on), then turn the knob to the position
(fig. 7) until the required quantity is obtained. To
interrupt, place the selector back in the position
(fig. 5). (You should not delivery coffee for more than
one minute at a time).

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
coffee.

8.To eliminate the used coffee grounds, block the filter
in place using the lever incorporated in the handle
and empty the coffee by turning the filter holder
upside down and tapping (fig. 12).

9.To turn the appliance off, rotate the selector knob to
the "O" position (fig. 13).

IMPORTANT: the first time the appliance is used, all
accessories and the internal circuits must be washed
through by making at least five coffees without using
ground coffee.
