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.

• Open the coffee bean container (18) lid

•With the coffee grinder in operation, turn the knob (19) to the desired position. The smaller the dot next to the knob, the finer the grind. Remember that: – lightly roasted coffee requires a finer grind – dark-roasted coffee requires a coarser grind

PPPPRRRREEEEPPPPAAAARRRRAAAATTTTIIIIOOOONN

The machine is shipped ready to make its first cup of coffee. But we recommend you re-programme the main settings to suit your preferences. First of all, follow the steps listed under the “Programming”

heading to adjust the filter and water hardness settings.

NOTE: When using the appliance for the first time, or if the appliance has not been used for some time, the first coffee you make will not have perfect aroma and should be discarded.

Selecting coffee strength

You may set your preferred coffee strength to three levels:

LIGHT = about 7 gr. ground coffee

(for caffelatte, cappuccino)

NORMAL = about 9 gr. ground coffee

• Place the cup under the steam nozzle (12).

•Press the steam preheat button (10). When the system is ready, the words STEAM IS READY and TURN VALVE will appear alternately on the display.

•Turn the steam/hot water knob (11) to the right. Important: A little water will come out before the steam.

• When steam starts to come out, open the knob (12b); this will allow milk to be taken up and frothed directly in the cup.

• Use the intake knob (12b) to vary how wide the valve opens and therefore the amount of milk taken in. With the knob positioned as shown in fig.C, that is, all the way open, milk is warm and frothy; adjust the knob to an intermediate position for less froth and hotter milk. Position the knob as shown in fig. B to close the valve.

• When this procedure has been completed, return the knob (12b) and the steam knob (11) to their initial positions.

Warning – scalding steam hazard: The steam is very hot! Grasp the nozzle by the black plastic part!

Residues left on the nozzle after frothing milk are hard to remove when dry, so it is a good idea to clean the whole assembly as soon as it cools down. Eliminate milk residues in the hole through which milk passes in the knob (12b) with a needle.

Important: after using the steam wand, it is important to rinse the machine through before making coffee again to cool down the circuit, or the aroma of the coffee will be spoiled. Place a container under the coffee dispensing nozzle (8) and press the service button (7) or let a little hot water flow through the nozzle (12).

PROGRAMMING

Use the following buttons under the display for programming:

P Programming mode > selection button ok confirmation button exit interrupt or conclude programming

1. Filter

2. Water hardness

3. Temperature

4. Time (on time and off time)

5. Language

6. Statistics

1. FILTER Filter assembly

The machine is supplied with a special filter accessory for the water reservoir. The filter is made of resins and protects the machine from lime scale deposits, filtering out any substances (such as chlorine and metallic residues) that can alter the flavour and aroma of coffee, while leaving the mineral content of the water unaltered. For the machine to recognise the presence of the filter, you must set the filter setting to YES. The factory setting is no filter.

1b. Press the programming button P. 2b. Press the > button until PROGRAM FILTER ap-

pears on the display. 3b. Press ok. 4b. Press > until YES appears on the display. 5b. Confirm by pressing ok. 6b. The words FILTER CHANGE / TURN VALVE will

appear alternately on the display. 7b. Empty the water reservoir (17) and screw on

the filter using the filter assembly tool (24)

supplied with the portafilter (21). 8b. Fill the reservoir with cold water and put it

back inside the appliance.. 9b. Place a recipient underneath the nozzle (12)

and turn the knob (11) to the right. The sys-

tem will perform a rinse cycle. 10b. Wait until water stops flowing out of the noz-

zle, then turn the knob (11) to the left again.

• The system quickly heats up and is ready for use again.

• The service button (7) may carry on flashing. If this happens, press the button (7) to conduct another short rinse cycle through the coffee outlet (8).

IMPORTANT: The system must be programmed either for use of a water filter or for the hardness of the water and therefore the manual lime scale removal cycle. You cannot use both of these settings at the same time. If you are using the filter on the machine and the system is programmed to “YES”, water hardness and manual lime scale programming cannot be displayed.

The filter loses its effectiveness after about 50 litres of water. Follow the instructions in the section on “replacing the water filter” to replace it. Important: If you have not used the machine very much, you must replace the filter even if no indication appears on the display after a maximum of two months (see the section on “manual filter replacement (25)”).

Page 9

AROMA MICHELANGELO

As a reminder, you may set the replacement date on the wheel on the top of the filter.

For more thorough prevention of lime scale build-up, you should run the “lime scale removal” programme at least once a year even if you regularly use the resin-based filter.

Without filter

If you no longer want to use the filter, you must reprogramme the filter setting to “NO”.

This is important as you must use the lime scale removal programme if you are not using the filter.

1c. Press the programming button P. 2c. Press > until the words PROGRAM FILTER ap-

pear on the display. 3c. Press ok. 4c. Press > again until NO appears on the display. 5c. Confirm by pressing ok. The words PROGRAM

FILTER will appear on the display. 6c. From this position you may continue program-

ming or exit by pressing exit.

Don’t forget to programme water hardness when not using the filter.

2. WATER HARDNESS

The frequency of lime scale removal depends on the hardness of your local water supply. Set water hardness correctly as soon as you begin using the machine so that the system will be able to inform you when the lime scale procedure is necessary.

First test the water using the litmus paper (26) supplied:

Fill a small container with tap water. Dip the litmus paper into it and remove it immediately, then shake it gently. After about one minute you will be able to read the results by counting the red dots. Different levels are distributed as shown below:

–1 red dot =

1 -7° dH / 1 - 12.6°fH = LEVEL 1 –2 red dots =

8 -14° dH / 12.7 -25.2°fH = LEVEL 2 –3 red dots =

15-21° dH / 25.3-37.8°fH = LEVEL 3 –4 red dots = > 21° dH / > 37.8°fH

= LEVEL 4

When no red dots are visible, set on level 1.

The factory setting corresponds to LEVEL 3.
