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 MU-

Do not direct the steam jet at people, animals or debris.

ST 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.

The machine allows you to set the following functions:

1. Filter =

2. Water hardness =

3. Temperature =

4. Off time =

1. FILTER Filter assembly

The machine is supplied with a special filter for the water reservoir. This resin-based filter protects the appliance from lime scale deposits and filters out any substance (such as chlorine and metallic residues) that can alter the flavour and aroma of the coffee, while leaving the mineral properties of the water unaltered. For the machine to recognise the presence of the filter, the filter setting must be programmed as "On". The factory setting is filter off.

– Setting filter programming to ON:

– Setting filter programming to OFF:

1b. Turn off the machine using the on/off button

(2) (Stand-by mode).

2b. Press the service button (7) for about 2 se-

conds to enter Programming mode.

3b. The symbols will come on in se-

quence.

• 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 "On", 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)”). 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 "OFF". This is important as you must use the lime scale removal programme if you are not using the filter.

1c. Turn off the machine using the on/off button (2)

(Stand-by mode).

back to Stand-by mode.

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 =

–2 red dots =

8 -14° dH / 12.7 -25.2 °fH =

–3 red dots =
