GENERAL OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS

Carefully read the instruction manual

and warranty limitations.

The machine must be connected to a

grounded power outlet.

The machine must be kept clean by

frequently washing the grill,

the drip tray, the capsule holder,

the tank and the steam wand.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: never immerse

the machine in water or put it in the dishwasher.

The water contained in the

tank must be replaced regularly.

Do not use the machine if the tank is empty.

After changing the water, place the tank back

in the machine, making sure it is inserted all the way.

We recommend descaling the machine

at least every 2 months using a

descaling agent made especially

for espresso machines.

See instructions in the descaling chapter.

The machine is outfitted with a valve that

maintains constant pressure, for this

reason some water may drip from the capsule holder.

When using electrical appliances always follow the safety precautions

USING THE ESPRESSO MACHINE

- This machine is intended for household use only. Any other use is
considered improper and therefore dangerous.

- Unplug the power cord from the electrical socket when the machine
is not in use.

- Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles and knobs.

- This machine is manufactured to “make espresso coffee” and
“prepare hot beverages”: use care to prevent scalding due to water
spray or any improper use of the machine.

- The machine is not designed to be used by people (including chil­dren) with limited physical, mental or sensory abilities or insufcient
experience and/or skills, unless they are supervised by a person
responsible for their safety, who provides instructions on how to
use the appliance.

- Children must be kept under supervision to prevent them from
playing with the appliance.

- Use the machine indoors only and away from atmospheric
agents.

- To protect against re, electric shock or personal injury do not
immerse the cord, the plug or the body of the machine in water or
any other liquid.

- Do not use the machine for purposes other than those for which it
was designed.

- Do not place the machine on, or
near, electrical or gas burners
or inside a hot oven.

- The machine must be turned
on only when being used. After
use, it must be turned off by
moving the main on/off switch
to the “0” position and discon­necting the plug from the po­wer outlet.

- Before unplugging the machine make sure that the ON/OFF switch
is in the “0” position. 1

- Check that the electrical voltage used corresponds to the require­ments indicated on the machine data plate. Connect the machine
only to a properly grounded power outlet with a minimum rating of
6 A for models powered at 230 Vac, and 12 A for models powered
at 120 Vac.

- If the plug and the outlet are not compatible, have the plug replaced
by qualied personnel (applies to 208 volt machines ).

- Place the machine on a countertop away from water taps and
sinks.

- After removing the packaging, check that the appliance is in perfect
condition before installation.

- Do not leave the materials used to package the machine within
children’s reach.

CLEANING THE ESPRESSO MACHINE

- Switch off the machine by positioning the main switch B in the “0”
position.

- Unplug the machine.

- Wait until the machine is cool before cleaning.

- Clean the body and attachments with a wet cloth and then wipe
with a non-abrasive dry cloth. It is not recommended to use de­tergents.

- Do not expose the machine to water spray or immerse it in water,
partially or fully.

IN CASE OF MALFUNCTIONING

Do not use the appliance if the cord or plug are damaged or if the
appliance shows signs of malfunctioning or has been damaged in any
way. Take the machine to the nearest authorized service center for
checks or repairs.

If the power cord is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer
or an authorized service center.

In case of damage or malfunction, turn off the appliance and do not
tamper with it. For repairs contact a service center authorized by the
manufacturer and request the use of original spare parts only. Failure to
comply with these instructions may compromise safe operation of the
machine and will result in the forfeiture of warranty rights.
