INTENZA+ water lter
We recommend the use of an INTENZA+ water lter to limit limescale formation.
This ensures a longer operating life of your machine and a better coffee aroma
over time.
Water is an essential element in brewing coffee. Therefore, it is extremely
important that water is always ltered adequately.
The INTENZA+ water lter prevents the formation of mineral deposits and
Immerse the INTENZA+ water lter in cold water, in a vertical position and with the
opening facing upwards. Press both sides of the lter gently to let air bubbles out.
Remove the INTENZA+ water lter from the water. Set the machine according to
the measured water hardness - see the “Measuring water hardness” section. On
the lter base, please set one of the following:
A = soft water – 1 or 2 small squares
B = hard water (standard) – 3 small squares
C = very hard water – 4 small squares
Place the INTENZA+ lter in the water tank, ensuring it is correctly positioned. Rell
the water tank and place it back in its compartment.

Espresso tray
This machine was designed to guarantee awless results, from a traditional
espresso to a number of different beverages. If you want to enjoy an Italian
espresso with a delicious layer of its natural “crema” on top and as tradition
dictates, we suggest that you use the “Espresso Tray” which is specically
designed for this purpose. This tray allows the use of traditional espresso cups,
ensuring the perfect height for a compact, homogeneous “crema” and a splash-free
brewing.
Lift the espresso tray off the grill of the drip tray and place it into the dedicated slot
as shown in the drawing.
Coee Brewing
Brewing coee using coee beans
Warning: only use coffee beans when making espresso. Do not put any ground,
unroasted, freeze-dried or instant coffee in the coffee beans container, as they may
damage the machine.
Tip: Preheat the cups with hot water to enjoy a warmer coffee.
1 Upon positioning the espresso tray, place a cup under the coffee dispensing
spout, raise or lower the coffee dispensing spout according to the size of the
cup you are using.
Press the HOME
Warning: before selecting a milk, frothed milk or coffee-based beverage,
make sure that the milk carafe is installed and the milk dispensing
spout is open. If the milk carafe is not correctly installed, the milk dispensing spout
may spray steam or hot milk.
Filling the milk carafe
Note: Before using the milk carafe, clean it thoroughly as
described in the “Cleaning and Maintenance” chapter.
The milk carafe can be lled before or during use
1 Lift the milk dispensing unit lid.
2 Pour the milk into the milk carafe: the milk level must be between the
minimum (MIN) and the maximum (MAX) level indicators shown on the carafe.
1 Press the two side buttons to unlock the dispensing spout and lift it slightly;
2 Pull the water dispensing spout to remove it.
3 Slightly tilt the milk carafe. Insert it all the way into the guides of the machine.
4 Push the carafe downwards while rotating it at the same time until it locks onto
the drip tray.
Note: Do not force the carafe while inserting it.
Removing the milk carafe
Rotate the carafe upwards until it is naturally released from the insert in the
drip tray. Then, remove the carafe.
Dispensing frothed milk based coee beverages
Tip: use only cold milk (at a temperature of approx. 5°C) and with at least a
3% protein content so as to obtain a perfect milk foam. Either whole milk or semiskimmed milk can be used. Skimmed, soy or lactose-free milk can also be used.
1 Pull out the milk dispensing spout to the right up to the icon.
Note: if the milk dispensing spout has not been pulled all the way out,
the milk may not be properly frothed.
2 Place a cup under the open milk dispensing spout.

Adjusting the grind settings
The grind settings can be adjusted using the grinder adjustment knob on the
coffee beans container. The ceramic coffee grinder guarantees a perfect and
homogeneous grinding for the preparation of every cup of coffee. The aroma is
thus preserved, ensuring a perfect avour every time.
Note: the grind setting can only be adjusted while the machine is grinding the
coffee beans. The difference in taste will be perceived after brewing 2-3 cups of
coffee.
Warning: to avoid damaging the coffee grinder, do not rotate the grinder
adjustment knob more than one notch at a time.
1 Place a cup under the coffee dispensing spout.
2 Remove the lid of the coffee bean container.
3 Prepare an espresso as described in the “Brewing coffee from coffee beans”
chapter.
4 While the machine is grinding coffee, press the grind settings adjustment knob
in the bean container and turn it one notch at a time, to the left or right.
5 There are 5 different grind settings to choose from. The smaller the bar, the
stronger and richer the coffee.
Note:
- Coarse grind: lighter taste, for dark roasted coffee blends (3-5);
- Fine grind: stronger taste, for light roasted coffee blends (1-3);
Regular cleaning and maintenance keep the machine in perfect condition and
ensure perfect coffee avour, a constant coffee ow and an excellent milk foam.
Please refer to the following table to know when and how to clean the removable
parts of the machine. Please read the specic section for further and more detailed

then turn the machine back on. The machine will warm up and perform an
automatic rinse cycle.
3 Before preparing any beverages, carry out a manual rinse cycle as described in
the dedicated chapter.
Note: if the procedure has not been completed, another descaling procedure must
be carried out as soon as possible.
