• Regulat e the height of the machine with the s upport legs. Maximum inclination c annot be greater
than 1º between any of its axes.
• Check that all of the electrical connection characteristics comply with the voltage, frequency and
wattage indications described on the machine’s specification pl ate. This plate is located on the
chassis under the drainage tray.
• W e consider the machine to be installed correctly when it has been connect ed to a magneto-
thermic omnipolar circuit breaker appropriate to the m achine’s power, along with a di fferential that

3.1 Prior Installation
3.2 Installation
Once the machine has been unpacked, the following steps should be performed:
Check that the electricity supply voltage is the same as that listed on the
specification plate and in the machine’s docum enta t ion .
Installation and Start-up
Verify before Installing:
1. Drainage tube with an interior diameter no less
than 35 mm.
2. Mains water network supply tube connected to
water softener.
3. Stopcock with 3/8” G exit.
4. Grounded plug protected with a magnetothermic circuit breaker.
5. Water supply tube (supplied with machine)
from water softener.
6. Drain tube
7. Water softener

It is recommended to use water with a hardness
between 5-8 dHº (8-14 fHº), to avoid calcific at i on
and to obtain an optimal quiality of coffee and tea.
• Place the machine on the workbench and
connect the wáter supply from the stopcock (1) ,
to the softener (2).
• Let the wáter flow to clean it.
• Connect the water suppl y tube from the outlet
softener to the water inlet of the machine (3).
• Open the stopcock (1) and check that the
connection is not leaking.

Lead the drainage tube through the opening at the base
of the machine and connect the tube t o the fitting. Then,
lead the end of the tube to the drain.
Connect the drainage tube to the machine
It is important that the drainage tube is
completely straight with no angles in order to
facilitate good drainage.
Press the main power switch.
At start-up the electronic control box detects that
there is no water in the boiler and activates the
filling valve and the pump. These remain active until
the level probe detects adequate water level. As
soon as this occurs, the boiler element will switch
on, heating the entire system.
5
If the control box does not detect an adequate
water level in the boiler within 6 minutes, the onecoffee and two-coffee LED keys plus the level
indicator LED will blink, indicating a water level
warning. This warning can be cancelled by turning
the machine off and on again.
You should not use extension cords or outlet
adapters of any kind to connect the machine to
electricity network.
The network connection cable, should never be
rolled up; instead, it should be fully extended to
avoid possible overheating.
.
Connect the machine plug to the appropriate
connection base according the current electrical
standards of the area.
Place the filter holder in the group head, press the
continuous coffee button to purge the group, let
water flow for 30 seconds. Then wait approximalety
15 minutes until the machine is at normal working
temperature, observing whether the gauge indicates
a pressure of 1 bar.
6
While the machine is heating, proceed with the
installation of the grinder. Adjust the grinding point
and doses.
7
Once the machine has reached working temperature
and we have adjusted the grinder, we can program
the coffee doses (see section 3.3, pg. 7)

3.3 Dose Programming
• We can program the amount of coffee one the one-coffee and two-coffee pushbuttons.
• K eep the machine in optimal conditions of cleanliness is a dail y requirement for guaranteeing the necessary higiene and good
Quality of the final beverage, as well as a longer service life for the machine.
• With the machine turned off, hold down the c ontinuous coffee button. Turn on the machine and wait 4 seconds with the
continuous coffee key pressed until the selection button lights turn off. Only the one-coffee and two coffee buttons are
programmable.

to the model) in the filter holder for one or two
coffees and insert into the group head.
b. Press the one-coffee key of the left group for
more than 3 seconds until the coffee begins to
come o ut. When you have reached the desired
amount of coffee, press the same key again.
Repeat these steps on the two-coffee key.
c. To exit programming mode you must turn off
and turn on the machine again with the main
power switch. Doses of the first group are
copied to the second group.
1. Activate the group head for 20 seconds to urge the water
in the circuit.
2. Check that the water comes out through the shower in a
single, continuous stream. If it does not, clean it with the
blind filter. Replace the part and spout if the problem
persists.
3. Remove from the grinder dispense chamber any ground
coffee from the previous day.
4. Verify that the ground coffee dose and grinding point are
correct.
5. Prepare a coffee and verify that it comes out correctly.
1. Limitar la cantidad de café a moler, al consumo del
momento, ya que el café que queda molido de un día
1. Limit the amount of coffee to be ground to single
servings since the ground coffee from one day should be
discarded the next.
2. Rinse the group head with the help of the blind filte.
3. Clean the filter and the filter holder with hot water and
hold it up to the light to make sure the filter holes are not
obstructed. Leave the filter holder in the group head
without over-tightening it.
4. Clean the steam arm with a damp cloth and purge it
several times.
5. Clean the drainage tray.
At the beginning of the day
If we are programming the amount of coffee for one
coffee and two coffees and more than 15 seconds go by
without detecting counter impulses, the flowmeter
warning will be activate and the one-coffee and twocoffee keys will begin to blink. To turn off the blinking,
press any key, which will return you to programming
mode. If after trying again the warning signal appears,
call a service technician.
Do not use any chemical or abrasive products
to clean the machine. Only use a cotton cloth
moistened with water. Pay special attention to
the pushbuttons and the areas related to
beverage preparation: the steam arm, the hot
water outlet and the filter holder and group
head.
Rinse the group head daily to maintain an optimal quality of coffee. To
clean the coffee holder, follow these instructions.
1. Put the blind filter in the filter holder.
2. Insert the filter holder into the part.
3. Press the continuous coffee key and wait 10 seconds.
4. Press the continuous key again to stop and wait 10 seconds.
Repeat this cleaning cycle 15 times, until the water comes out
clean thorough the discharge valve.
- Do not stack cups mo r e than three cups high.
- Avoid reheating milk. Heat in small amounts.
- Before foaming milk, open the steam valve to purge it. Once the foaming is done, purge again and clean the tube with a
damp cloth.
