pushed into the compartment when the
door (7a) is closed, pushing it as far as
it will go. Never push the capsule in with
your fingers.

• Press the dispenser switch (8) to have the

Empty the used capsules drawer fre­quently to ensure that used capsules do
not block the exit passage.

NOTE: before switching on the appliance at

the switch (8), make sure that you have in­serted the capsule for the drink you wish to
make, or an empty capsule if you intend to
clean the appliance. If you have not placed
any capsule in it, the water that is dispensed
will not come out of the coffee dispenser (6)
but fall into the used capsules drawer (9).

• Always unplug the appliance before per­forming any maintenance operations.

• Clean the outside of the appliance with a
damp cloth only. Never use solvents or de­tergents, as they could damage the plastic
surface.

and whenever the machine has not been
used for a long time. To remove it from the
appliance, turn it clockwise as far as it will go
and remove it from its housing (fig.3). Rinse
it in running water and put it back on the ap­pliance.

• Use the empty capsules provided in the
package to clean the infusion parts of the
machine at least every 2 or 3 days. This op­eration must not be performed using the
same capsule more than five times. When
you have finished using all the empty cap-

would for making a drink, pouring the
same amount of water used to make a
cup of coffee.
