Using for the first time
Before using the machine for the first time, wash all the accessories in warm soapy water and rinse. For the best tasting coffee
the internal circuits mut be flushed through at least twice. To do
this, follow the instructions in the paragraph “How to prepare the
filter coffee” without using ground coffee.

• If in doubt, do not use the appliance and seek the Customer
Service authorised by the manufacturer.
• 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).
• Make sure the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage 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.

How to prepare the filter coffee
• Open the frontal door by pulling the handle (fig. 1) and, by using
the jug, pour fresh water into the water compartment up to the
level corresponding to the number of cups you want to make.
Check the water level viewer and it is suggested to use the
provided carafe as the measure, as the maximum volume of the
carafe corresponds to those of the water tank (fig. 2).
• Place the permanent filter in the filter holder (fig. 3).
• Place the ground coffee in the filter, using the measuring spoon
supplied, and level evenly (Fig. 4). 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). Never use more
than 15 level spoons. The quantity of ground coffee used will
vary according to personal taste. Use good quality, medium
ground coffee, packaged for filter coffee makers.
• Close the lid and place the jug on the plate with the lid on (fig.
5).
• Press the "ON/OFF" switch (Fig. 6). The light on the button
comes on to indicate that the drip coffee maker is operating.
• 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 filtering.
• If you leave the ON/OFF button pressed after percolation has
finished, the plate will keep the coffee at the ideal temperature.
Attention: removing the jug before all the coffee 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 in the filter holder.
