CHOOSING COFFEE

•True espresso coffee is recognisable by its
dark colour, typical “crema” and rich flavour.

• The flavour and aroma of a coffee bean are the
result of a roasting process. Darker coffee
beans have been roasted for a longer time at a
higher temperature, and are more aromatic
than lighter coffee beans.

• There are many different types of coffee avail­able on the market, containing blends of beans
roasted at different temperatures with different
types of aroma. There is also decaffeinated
coffee containing only 2% caffeine. Try using
different types of coffee with your espresso
machine to find the flavour and aroma that best
suits your taste.

• Ideally, coffee beans should be ground just be­fore using them. Remember that your coffee

MUST BE GROUND FOR PUMP ESPRESSO MA­CHINES, which means it must be ground quite
finely.

• It is a good idea to keep ground coffee or cof­fee beans in the freezer in a hermetically
sealed container. Coffee easily absorbs
odours.

STARTING UP AND PREPARING THE MACHINE

• Carefully remove the machine and all acces­sories from the packaging.

• Open the lid, remove the water reservoir (17)
and rinse it with clean, cold water.

• Fill the reservoir no higher than the MAX mark,
place it back in the machine and close the lid.

• Check that the reservoir (17) is positioned cor­rectly. Fill the reservoir with clean, cold water
only. Do not use sparkling water or any other
liquid.

Important: To prevent problems caused by lime
scale build-up, it is important to use the machine
with the water-softening filter (25). Alternatively,
you may also use lime scale remover tablets, as
described in the section on the “lime scale remover
programme”. If you decide to use the water-soften­ing filter, follow the assembly instructions under the
heading “Filter assembly”.

• Open the lid of the coffee bean container (18),
fill it with coffee beans and close the lid again.

Do not use coffee beans which have been treated
with sugar or other additives during or after roast­ing, as they could damage the coffee grinder. Re­pair costs due to such damage will not be covered
by the warranty.

The steam/hot water knob (11) must be set to 0.

ASSEMBLING THE MILK FROTHING
ACCESSORY

Assemble all components of the milk frothing ac­cessory as shown in fig. A, leaving no space be­tween components. Take special care to ensure
that the seal on the knob (12b) is inserted all the
way into the valve (12a).

Filling the system

When you use the appliance for the first time, the
pipes inside the machine may not yet be filled with
water. The machine will signal this as follows:

• After turning the machine on with the on/off
button (2), FILL UP PIPE-SYS and TURN VALVE
will appear alternately on the display.
