USING THE COFFEE-MAKER FOR THE FIRST
TIME
Remove the packaging and take out the bag containing the accessories. When the appliance is
new, the following accessories must be washed
with lukewarm water and detergent then rinsed
thoroughly: filter cup, measure, two filters. The
internal circuit of the coffee-maker must then be
pre-washed as follows:
Filling the tank
Raise the lid and pour fresh water into the tank
(fig. 1). On the models with removable tank for
easier filling, the tank can be extracted by pulling
upwards (fig. 2). Make sure that the pipes are
immersed when the tank is put back into place.
Pre-washing
a) Plug in at the power socket, remembering the
safety instructions.
b) Press the ON/OFF button (R) and coffee-
dispensing button (T). The ON/OFF indicator
light will come on (fig. 3). The pump will start
to “load water”. Wait until water starts to
come out of the boiler outlet, then turn off the
coffee-dispensing switch. After about 2 minutes, the “OK” light will come on (fig. 4). This
means that the water (in the boiler) is at the
correct temperature.
c) Press the dispensing switch again for 10-15
seconds, allowing water to fall from the boiler
outlet (fig. 5), then turn off the switch.
d) To thoroughly pre-wash the circuit, perform
the above operation at least five or six times.
At this point the machine is ready for normal use.
Fitting the filter cup
To fit the filter cup onto the machine, place the cup
under the boiler outlet (fig. 6) then press upwards
and turn to the right as far as it will go.
MAKING ESPRESSO COFFEE
- Always use fresh water and keep the tank
clean.
- Before dispensing the coffee, always wait for
the OK light to come on: this indicates that the
water in the boiler has reached the ideal temperature for coffee-making.
- The coffee cups, filter cup and the filters
should be heated before making the coffee.
The accessories can be heated with hot tap
water or in the following way:
- Turn on the machine by pressing the ON/OFF
switch (R).
-
Place the filter for coffee powder with creamer in
the filter holder, making sure the tab is correctly
inserted in the corresponding slot, as shown in
Fig. 7, and hook the filter holder onto the machine, to allow it to heat up.
- Wait for the OK light to come on, press the
coffee dispensing switch (T) and let the hot
water heat the accessories.
- Turn off the dispensing switch, remove and
drain the filter cup, filter and coffee cups.
You are advised to also perform this operation (hot water dispensing with no coffee in
filter) if you want to make coffee after dispensing steam. In this case, performance of an
“idle cycle” brings the machine to the ideal
temperature for making perfect coffee.
For best results, you are advised to use well-roasted and suitably ground top quality coffee.
Method
- Turn on the machine by pressing the ON/OFF
switch and wait for the OK light to come on.
-A few drops of water may fall from the boiler
outlet: this is quite normal and is not a fault.
- Insert the filter (fig. 7).
-
To prepare just one cup of coffee, fill the filter
with 1 even measuring spoon of ground coffee,
around 7 grams. To prepare two cups of coffee,
on the other hand, use the filter with the creamer
and fill it with two scant measuring spoons of
ground coffee (around 6+6 grams). Fill the filter
in small doses to avoid spilling the coffee
, distri-
buting it evenly and pressing lightly.
- On machines with pressing pad, this operation
can be performed using the pressing pad next
to the boiler outlet (fig. 8) in order to ensure
more uniform pressing and therefore betterquality coffee. Remove any excess coffee from
the rim of the filter.
- Fit the filter cup as described above.
- Place the pre-heated cup or cups on the drip
tray, under the filter cup spouts. When the
light comes on, press the dispensing switch
and only release when the desired amount of
coffee has been dispensed (about 20-30 sec.)
(fig. 9).
