SAFETY WARNINGS

• This appliance is designed to "make espresso coffee" and "heat drinks". Use with care to avoid scalds from the water and steam jets or through incorrect use.

• Never touch hot parts.

• After removing the packaging, make sure the product is complete. If in doubt, do not use the appliance and contact a professionally qualified person.

• The packing elements (plastic bags, polystyrene foam, etc.) should be kept out of the reach of children as they are a safety hazard.

• This appliance is intended for domestic use only. Any other use is considered improper and thus dangerous.

• The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage caused through incorrect, wrong or unreasonable use.

• Never touch the appliance with wet or damp hands or feet.

•Never let children or unfit persons use the appliance without supervision.

•Never allow children to play with the appliance.

• In the event of malfunction or faulty operation, switch

off and do not attempt to repair.

• If it requires repair, contact an authorised service centre only and ask for original spare parts to be used.

• Failure to respect the above could reduce the safety of the appliance.

• The power cable for this appliance must not be replaced by the user as this operation requires the use of special tools.

• If the cable is damaged or requires replacing, contact an authorised service centre only to avoid all risks.

INSTALLATION

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

• Check that the voltage of the mains power supply corresponds to the value indicated on the appliance rating plate.

• Connect the appliance to an efficiently earthed socket with a minimum current rating of 10 A only.

• The manufacturer may not be considered liable for possible incidents caused by the failure to adequately earth the mains.

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

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

• If the power cable is longer than the distance required to reach the mains socket, the extra length can be stored inside the appliance by pushing the cable back through the cable opening.

• The power cable can be positioned to the right or left according to the location of the nearest socket, resting it in the guides on the bottom of the appliance (fig. 1). When the power cable is in the required position, make sure it is correctly held in place by the clips on the bottom of the appliance (fig. 1).

HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE

FILLING THE WATER TANK

Remove the water tank lid (fig. 2) and then take out the tank by pulling upwards (fig. 3). Fill the tank with fresh clean water taking care not to exceed the MAX level (fig. 4). Replace the tank, pressing lightly to open the valve located on the bottom of the tank. 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. 5) 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. 6), 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. 5) 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. 7),

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. 5).

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. 9. For appliances with two filters, use the smallest for one coffee and the largest

for two coffees.

To make a single coffee only, place one level measure of ground coffee, about 7 grams, in the filter (fig. 10). 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. 11).

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. 6) 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. 12).

6.Make sure the OK light (fig. 7) is on (if off, wait until it comes on), then turn the knob to the position (fig. 8) until the required quantity is obtained. To interrupt, place the selector back in the position (fig. 5).

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. 13).

9.To turn the appliance off, rotate the selector knob to the "O" position (fig. 14).

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.
