Preparation:
1. Remove the water tank cover (22) and fill
with cold water to the MAX line indicated
on tank (6). See FIG. 2.
N.B.: Near the word MAX on the tank there is
the overflowing safety hole (25) in case of
tank overfilling.
The water tank can also be removed, after
removing the tank cover (22) using the
handle.
Re-install tank with water and cover (22).
2. Insert plug (19) into a suitable wall outlet (see
point 1 under “Caution”).
3. Turn the power switch (1) to “On”. The on/off
light (3) will switch on.
Make certain that the hot water/coffee switch
(2) and that the steam switch (4) are in the
“Off” position.
Starting up
This procedure fills the water boiler with fresh
water.
This should be done whenever the machine is
switched on.
This machine, featuring a pump to brew coffee,
is equipped with a self-priming system. Place an
empty cup under the brewing head (14), do not
insert filter holder and press hot water/coffee
switch (2) (pos. “On”).
You will hear the sound of the operating pump
and after few seconds, water will start to escape
from the brewing head (14).
Page 6
ENGLISH
Once cup is filled, set coffee switch (2) onto
pos “Off”.
The Gaggia machine is now ready to be
used.
NOTE: It may happen that the self-priming
feature of the pump fails to work temporarily
due to an air lock.
In this case water does not flow from brewing
head (14), and the following procedure should
be followed:
a) Place a small frothing pitcher or mug under
the steam nozzle (8).
b) Turn the steam knob (7) counter-clockwise
to open the steam/hot water valve, and turn
the steam switch (4) and the hot water/brew
(2) to “On” to activate the pump.
c) Alter a few seconds, a steady stream of water
will emerge from the steam nozzle.Allow
about one cup of water to fill the pitcher.
Shut the steam/hot water valve and turn hot
water/brew switch and the steam switch (4)
to “Off”.
The Gaggia machine is now ready to be
used.
d) NOTE: The temperature ready-light (5) will
automatically flash as the machine boiler
heats.
After switching on the machine for the first
coffee, wait 6 minutes until the machine has
fully heated up, while for all subsequent
coffees the machine will be ready to use.
Another feature of the machine is the “no-drip
system”, eliminating most of dripping from
brewing head (14). After coffee brewing, however, a little dripping may occur due to wet
coffee grinds in the filter-holder.
Caution: Never operate pump
without water in machine as damage
to the pump may occur.Damage of
pump run without water is not covered by
warranty.
Important to know……
1. The taste of your coffee depends on the
characteristics of the beans from which it
is made, the type of bean, where it was
grown and processed. The coffee beans
that are roasted for a longer period of time
and at higher temperatures will be much
darker in colour.Darker beans will produce
a richer cup of coffee than the lightly-roasted
beans.
2. A variety of dark roasts are available from
which you can choose to brew your espresso. Each of these roasts is a blend of coffee
beans that are roasted at a specific temperature producing a specific type of flavour.
There are decaffeinated beans that have
up to 98% of the caffeine content removed.
The next time you purchase coffee for your
espresso maker, experiment with one of the
many kinds of coffee being sold. You may
just find that it tastes better than the blend
you have been using.
3. A fine “espresso grind” for pump-driven
machines must be used. Be sure to ask for this
when buying coffee or when having beans
ground. Do not use a blade-type grinder
because it makes too much coffee dust and
produces an irregular grind.
4. The mark of real espresso is its dark color,
rich taste and the light brown, natural froth
called “crema” in Italian.
5. Cappuccino is simply a combination of
espresso and hot, frothy milk.Cappuccino
is usually topped with cinnamon, nutmeg or
cocoa powder.
6. Espresso Coffee should be served immediately after it is made.
7. Espresso is served in 2 to 2 ½ oz. demitasse
cups. A 4 or 6 oz. cup or glass is used for
cappuccino
8. Ideally, coffee beans should be ground immediately before using. Remember, it must
be an “espresso grind” for pump-driven
espresso machines.
9. It’s best to store ground coffee or beans in
an airtight container in the freezer of your
refrigerator. Ground coffee tends to absorb
food odours.

How to make a good Espresso coffee:
1 Follow the procedure described under “Pre-
paration”.
2 Select the correct filter basket (10 or 11) and
insert it in the filter holder (9).
Use the small filter for 1 cup and the large
filter for 2 cups of espresso.
Then insert the filter holder (9) into the
brewing head (11) to warm-up
3 Wait until the machine has reached the
correct temperature with filter holder inserted
(heating time of about 6 minutes).
Use this time to set table, prepare cups,
coffee, milk, etc
4 After the warm-up period, remove the warm
filter-holder (9) from the brewing head and
fill with correctly ground espresso coffee
using the measuring spoon provided.
Place one level measure of coffee in basket
for each cup of espresso. Do not overfill.
Gently tamp down coffee with the tamper
(18) provided. Do not compress too firmly.
5 Clean any excess coffee from the rim of
filter holder (9). Insert filter holder into brew
head by holding handle approximately 45
degrees to the left as you face machine.
When properly aligned,move handle firmly
to the right to lock into position.
The handle should point to the front of the
machine or slightly to the right.
6 Place one or two espresso cups on the drip plate
to line up with the spouts of the filter holder. Depress hot water/brew switch (2) to pos. “On”.
Espresso will start to flow into cups.
7 When cups are 3/4 full, release brew switch
to “Off”. The more water you allow to
flow, the weaker the coffee. When properly
made, the espresso will have a light brown
foam “crema” floating on the top.
If not, refer to “In the event of faulty
function”.
8 Remove cups and serve.
9 To make more espresso, carefully and slowly
remove the filter holder by moving handle to
the left. Be careful as hot water will be on top
of the coffee grinds in the holder. Some water
will continue to drip from brewing head as
filter holder is removed. That is normal and
due to the pump pressure in the system. Knock
out used coffee grinds from filter. For more
espresso repeat steps 4 to 8 above
• 11 •
ENGLISH
OPTIONAL
“Perfect crema” device (13)
To ensure the optimum function of the “Perfect
cream” device, insert the frothing jet device
into the filter holder.
We recommend that the “Perfect cream”
device be cleaned on a daily basis, before
use, in order to prevent any blockage of the
delivery holes. A pin may be used to clean
out the hole.
Even if the type of coffee grinding is not
correct the use of the “Perfect cream” device
will produce the typical creamy froth of an
espresso coffee.
N.B.: Only use the “perfect cream device with
a large 2-cup filter.
Preparing cappuccino:
When preparing to make a cappuccino, have
all of the ingredients at hand as well as a
frothing pitcher (or mug) halffilled with skimmed
or low-fat milk and cups that are larger (6 oz.)
than those used for espresso.
Frothing Milk:
The higher the fat content in the milk the
denser the froth will be. The Turbo-Frother (8)
or the cappuccino maker pos.24 will give you
all the froth required but don’t let milk come
to a boil.
It may require two or three attempts to “become
an expert” but you will be successful at frothing
milk if you give it a chance. Swivel the TurboFrother steam nozzle (or milk frother) slightly
outward so that you can get the frothing pitcher
under the nozzle without knocking the base of
the machine.
Page 8
ENGLISH
Turbo frother steam nozzle version:
Steam can be used to froth the milk for cappuccinos and also to heat beverages.
Caution! Scalding hazard! Splashing
may occur at the start – scalding ha-
zard! The hot water nozzle and pipe
can reach high temperatures: avoid touching
it directly with your hands.
1 Make espresso (in a large cups) as described
above
2 With the machine ready to deliver coffee,
convey the pipe over the drip tray (12), open
the “Hot water/steam” tap knob (7) for a few
seconds so to let the remaining water come
out of the steam pipe; after a few seconds
only steam will come out.
3 Close the steam/hot water tap knob(7).
4 Position steam switch (4) to “On”.
5 After 15 to 20 seconds or, when temperature
ready-light (5) goes on, place the frothing
pitcher halffilled with low-fat milk under
Turbo Frother steam nozzle so that tip is just
under the surface of the milk. See Fig.03.
6 Slowly turn steam valve knob (7) counter
clockwise to release steam.
IMPORTANT. The more you turn the knob,
the greater the steam pressure for frothing.
N.B.: Dispensing should not exceed 60
seconds.
7 Move pitcher in circular motion keeping the
tip of steam nozzle just under surface of milk
as it begins to froth. Do not let milk come to
a boil since it will not froth.
8 When you have made enough froth,turn steam
knob clockwise to shut off steam and remove
pitcher. Put steam switch (4) to pos. “Off”.
9 Spoon the froth onto the espresso in each
cup and gently pour the hot milk along the
side of the cup. Top each cup of cappuccino
with a dash of cinnamon, cocoa and nutmeg.
Serve.
10 NOTE: If you want to make more espresso
immediately after steaming milk, the machine boiler must be refilled with water and
temperature brought down to a brewing
temperature. Otherwise, espresso may taste
“burned”.
To do this: place an empty cup on drip plate.
Do not insert filter holder. Turn hot water/
brew switch (4) to “On” letting cup fill with
water. Turn brew switch “Off”. You many
now proceed to make more espresso.
Making hot water:
1. Follow the procedure described under “Preparation”.
2. Turn the power switch (1) to “On”.
3. Allow about 6 minutes for the machine to
reach its proper operating temperature.
4. Place a pitcher under the steam nozzle (8).
5 Slowly turn the steam knob (7) anticlockwise
so that the hot water and put the hot water/
brew switches (2) and the steam switch (4)
to “On” can be released.
N.B.: Dispensing should not exceed 60
seconds.
6 Once the desired quantity of hot water is
obtained, turn the steam knob clockwise and
put the hot water/brew switches (2) and the
steam switch (4) to “Off” to stop the water
release.
7 NOTE: If you want to make espresso
immediately after making hot water, the
temperature of the machine boiler must be
brought down to a brewing temperature.
Otherwise, espresso may taste “burned”.
To do this: place an empty cup on drip plate.
Do not insert filter holder. Put the hot water/
brew switches (2) and the steam switch (4) to
“On”, letting cup fill with water. Turn brew
switch “Off”.
You may now proceed to make espresso.

Keeping it clean:
1 IMPORTANT: the steam nozzle should
be cleaned after each use in order to avoid
build up of milk deposits that are very difficult
to clean. Cleaning is made easy as can be
seen in the DESCRIPTION OF PARTS. The
outer part of nozzle can be removed by
pulling downward.
The outside of the steam pipe can be cleaned
with a damp cloth.
The steam jet is cleaned by running a shot
of steam through it.
The hole in the steam nozzle must be kept
open. A needle may be used.
2 Clean filter holder and filter in warm water
after use.
Pay attention as the
Turbo-Frother steam
nozzle could be hot!
Air intake to be kept clean
and free from residues.
3 Wipe body of machine with a damp cloth
as required.
4 Remove basin and grid (12, 23) and rinse
with water. Do not use abrasive substances.
5 Clean the seal (15) inside of the brewing
head (14) and keep it clean.
6 The shower disc (17) should be unscrewed
and cleaned periodically depending on
frequency of use.
ENGLISH
7 If the machine is not used for a long period
of time, discharge the water from the boiler
by turning the steam knob clockwise (25),
and put the hot water/coffee switch on
“On”. Let a quantity of water equal to two
cappuccino cups come out of the frother.
Close the steam knob (25) and put the hot
water/coffee and the steam switch on “Off”.
Turn off the machine.
Never operate pump unless there is water in
tank.
8 NOTE: It is very normal for an espresso
machine to emit steam and drip occasionally
as the water pressure changes during use.
Be certain to empty drip tray (12) as requi-
red.
Descaling:
In hard water areas, minerals found in the
water will accumulate and affect operation of
the unit.
Approximately every two months (this can vary
depending on use and water condition), clean
the machine with Gaggia descaler (in which
case follow the instructions on the packet).
Remove shower disc (17) and clean.
Pour solution into tank and turn on pump for 15
seconds. Allow solution to flow through brewing
head and steam nozzle for several seconds.
Wait 20 minutes, then repeat. process until
solution has been run through.
Rinse machine thoroughly by running plain
cold water through machine. Replace shower
disc (17).
NOTE: Product failure due to scale accumulation is not covered by warranty. No other
servicing should be attempted by the user. Use
“Gaggia cleaner” for best results.
