IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR CORRECT DISPOSAL OF THE PRODUCT IN ACCORDANCE WITH EC DIRECTIVE

2002/96/EC.

At the end of its working life, the product must not be disposed of as urban waste. It must be taken to a special local authority differentiated waste collection centre or to a dealer providing this service. Disposing of a household appliance separately avoids possible negative consequences for the environment and

health deriving from inappropriate disposal and enables the constituent materials to be recovered to obtain significant savings in energy and resources.As a reminder of the need to dispose of household appliances separately, the product is marked with a crossed-out wheeled dustbin.

INSTALLATION

• After removing the packaging, make sure the product is

complete. If in doubt, do not use the appliance and contact a qualified professional.

• The packing elements (plastic bags, polystyrene foam,

etc. ) should be kept out of reach of children as they are a safety hazard.

• Place the appliance on a work surface far away from

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. Connect the appliance to an efficiently earthed socket with a minimum current rating of 10A only. The manufacturer may not be considered liable for possible incidents caused by the failure to adequately earth the mains.

• If the power socket does not match the plug on the

appliance, have the socket replaced with a suitable type by a qualified professional.

• The power cable on 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.

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. Press the ON/Off button (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 firmly towards the right. Wait for half an hour, then make the coffee as described in the following section. Alternatively, you can preheat more rapidly by proceeding as follows:

1.Turn the appliance on by pressing the ON/OFF

button (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 press the coffee knob (fig. 7). Run the water off until the OK indicator light goes out, then interrupt delivery by pressing the coffee button again (fig. 7).

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

comes on again then repeat the same operation. (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 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 (about 7 g) of ground coffee in the filter. (fig. 9). To prepare two coffees, place two loosely filled measures (about 6+6 g) of ground coffee 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 presser (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 under the filter holder spouts (fig. 11). 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. 12).

6.Make sure the OK light (fig. 6) is on (if off, wait until it comes on), then press the coffee button (fig. 7). When the required quantity of coffee has been run off, press the same button again (fig. 7). (You should not run off coffee for more than 45 seconds 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. 13).

9.To turn the coffee machine off, press the ON/OFF button (fig. 4).

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.
