5. USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME
Coffee has been used to factory test the appliance and it is therefore completely normal for there to be traces of coffee in the mill.
Customise water hardness as soon as possible following the instructions in the “17.7 Setting water hardness” section.
1.Connect the appliance to the mains supply. Press the ON/stand-by button (A7) (fig. 7).
Set the required language.
2.To set the language, use the 
icons (B7 and B8) to choose the required language (fig. 2). When the message “PRESS OK TO CHOOSE ENGLISH” is displayed, press the OK icon (B9) (fig. 3) for 3 seconds until “ENGLISH INSTALLED” is displayed. If you set the wrong language, follow the instructions in the “Setting the language” section. If your language is not available, select one from those displayed. The instructions refer to the English version. Then follow the instructions displayed:
3.After 5 seconds, the appliance displays “FILL TANK”. Extract the water tank (fig. 4), rinse and fill with fresh water.
Replace and push as far as it will go.
4.Place a cup under the hot water spout (fig. 5). (If the hot water spout is not inserted, the appliance displays
“INSERT WATER SPOUT”. Attach it as shown in figure 6.
The appliance displays: “HOT WATER PRESS OK”.
Press the OK icon (B9) (fig. 6) and after a few seconds a little water comes out of the spout.
5.The machine now displays “TURNING OFF... PLEASE WAIT” and goes off.
6.Extract the appliance by pulling it out using the handles (fig. 9). Open the lid and fill the container with coffee beans, then close the lid and push the appliance in.
The coffee maker is now ready for normal use.
IMPORTANT!
Never introduce pre-ground coffee, freeze dried coffee, caramelised beans or anything else which could damage the appliance.
When using the appliance for the first time, you need to make 4-5 cups of coffee and 4-5 cappuccinos before the appliance gives satisfactory results.

6. TURNING ON AND HEATING UP
Each time the appliance is turned on, it performs an automatic preheat and rinse cycle which cannot be interrupted.
The appliance is ready for use only after completion of this cycle.
DANGER OF BURNS!
During rinsing, a little hot water flows from the coffee spouts.
To turn the appliance on, press the ON/ stand-by button (A7) (fig. 7). The message “HEATING UP... PLEASE WAIT” is displayed.
When heating is complete, the message changes to “RINSING”;
The appliance is at temperature when the message “MEDIUM CUP NORMAL TASTE” is displayed.
If no icon is pressed within about 2 minutes, the time (if set, see the “Setting the clock” section) is displayed.
If the time has not been set, the appliance displays the last functions set. When any icon is pressed, “MEDIUM CUP NORMAL TASTE” is displayed again. The appliance is ready to make coffee again.
7. MAKING COFFEE USING COFFEE BEANS
1.The appliance is preset to make coffee with a normal taste. You can also choose coffee with an extra-mild, mild, strong or extra-strong taste. There is also a pre-ground coffee option. To choose the required taste, press the 
icon (B4) (fig. 10) a number of times. The required coffee taste is displayed.
2.Place 1 cup under the spouts to make 1 coffee or 2 cups for 2 coffees. Lower the spouts as near as possible to the cup for a creamier coffee (fig. 10).
3.Press the 
icon (B5) (fig. 11) to select the type of coffee: espresso, small cup, medium cup, large cup, mug. Now press the 
icon (B10) if you want to make a coffee and the 
icon (B11) (fig. 13) if you want to make 2 coffees.
The appliance now grinds the beans and starts delivering the coffee into the cup. Once the set amount of coffee has been delivered, the machine stops delivery automatically and expels the exhausted waste coffee into the waste coffee container.
4.After a few seconds, the appliance is ready for use again.
5.To turn the appliance off, press the ON/stand-by button (A7) (fig. 7). (Before going off, the appliance per-
forms an automatic rinse cycle. Take care to avoid scalds).
NOTE 1: If the coffee is delivered a drop at a time or not at all, see the “Adjusting the coffee mill” section.
NOTE 2: If the coffee is delivered too fast and the cream is not satisfactory, see the “Adjusting the coffee mill” section.
NOTE 3: Tips for a hotter coffee:
•Proceed as described in the section
“Changing and setting menu parameters”, “Rinse” function.
•Unless preheated, do not use excessively thick cups as they will absorb too much heat.
•Preheat the cups by rinsing them with
hot water.
NOTE 4: Coffee delivery can be interrupted at any moment by re-pressing the previously selected icon which remains lit during the operation.
NOTE 5: As soon as delivery is finished, to increase the quantity of coffee in the cup, just keep pressing the previously selected icon within 3 seconds after delivery has finished.
NOTE 6: When the appliance displays “FILL TANK”, fill the tank with water or the appliance will not deliver coffee.
(It is normal for there to be a little water left in the tank).
NOTE 7: Never extract the water tank while the machine is delivering coffee.
If it is removed, it will not be possible to make the coffee and the appliance will display “GROUND TOO FINE ADJUST MILL AND PRESS OK” and then “FILL TANK”.
After about 14 single (or 7 double) coffees, the appliance displays “EMPTY WASTE COFFEE CONTAINER”.
The appliance provides a frequent empty waste coffee container message.
Even if not full, the empty waste coffee container message is displayed 72 hours after the first coffee has been delivered. For the 72 hours to be calculated correctly, the machine must never be turned off with the main switch in the 0 position. To clean, open the service door on the front of the appliance by pulling the spout, extract the drip tray and clean. When cleaning, always extract the drip tray completely.
ENGLISH 9
IMPORTANT!
When extracting the drip tray, the waste coffee container MUST always be emptied. If this is
not done, the machine may be clogged.
NOTE 8: Never extract the water tank while the machine is delivering coffee. If it is removed, it will not be possible to make the coffee and the appliance will display “GROUND TOO FINE ADJUST MILL AND PRESS OK” and then “FILL TANK”.
Check the level of water in the tank and replace in the appliance.
To turn the appliance back on, press the OK icon (B9). “HOT WATER PRESS OK” is displayed.
Press the OK icon (B9) within a few seconds and deliver water from the cappuccino maker for about 30 seconds. When delivery stops, the basic modes are displayed again.

If this operation is not performed correctly or if the machine is turned off, the basic modes may be displayed, although the problem is in fact still present.
