INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE POWER
SUPPLY CORD
A. A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be
provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord.
B. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available
and may used if care is exercised in their use.
C. If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,
1. The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or
extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance
2. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped

PREPARING FOR USE
Machine Packaging
The original packaging has been designed and constructed to protect the
machine during transport. We recommend keeping the packaging material
for possible future transport.
Machine Installation
Remove the drip tray with grill and the carafe from the packaging.
1
Remove the machine from the packaging.

For best use, it is recommended to:
3
• Choose a safe, level surface, where there will be no danger of overturning the machine or being injured.
• Choose a location that is su ciently well-lit, clean and near an easily reachable socket.
• Allow for a minimum distance from the sides of the machine as
shown in the illustration.
Insert the drip tray (external) with grill into the machine. Make sure it is
4
correctly placed.
Note:
The drip tray collects the water that comes out of the dispensing spout
during each rinse/self-cleaning cycle, as well as co ee that might be spilled
during beverage brewing. Empty and wash the drip tray daily and each
time the full drip tray indicator is raised.
Caution:
NEVER remove the drip tray when the machine has just been turned
on. Wait a couple of minutes for the machine to carry out a rinse/selfcleaning cycle.

Measuring and Programming Water Hardness
Water hardness measuring is very important in order to de ne the machine
descaling frequency and to install the “INTENZA+” water lter (for more
details on the water lter, see next chapter).
To measure the water hardness follow the steps below:
Immerse the water hardness test strip (supplied with the machine) in
1
water for 1 second.
Note:
The test strip can only be used for one single measurement.
Wait for one minute.
2
Check how many squares have changed to red, then consult this table.
3
C
Note:
The numbers on the water hardness test strip correspond to the water
hardness adjustment settings.
B
More precisely:
1 = 1 (very soft water)
2 = 2 (soft water)
3 = 3 (hard water)
4 = 4 (very hard water)

“INTENZA+” Water Filter Installation
We recommend you to install the “INTENZA+” water lter as this prevents
limescale build-up in your machine and preserves a more intense aroma of
your co ee.
Water is a crucial part of every co ee, so it is very important to always have
it professionally ltered. Using the “INTENZA+” water lter will prevent
mineral deposits from building up and improve your water quality.
Remove the “INTENZA+” water lter from its packaging, immerse it ver-
1
tically (with the opening positioned upwards) in cold water and gently
press the sides so as to let the air bubbles out.
Set the “INTENZA+” water lter according to the measurements per-
2
formed (see previous chapter) and indicated on the base of the lter:
A = soft water – equals 1 or 2 on the test strip
B = hard water (standard) – equals 3 on the test strip
C = very hard water – equals 4 on the test strip

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Daily Cleaning of the Machine
Caution:
Timely cleaning and maintenance of your machine is very important
as it prolongs the life of your machine. The machine is continuously
exposed to humidity, co ee and limescale!
The activities you need to perform and their frequency are described
in detail in this chapter. Not doing this will ultimately make your machine stop working properly. This repair is NOT covered by warranty!
Note:
- Use a soft, dampened cloth to clean the machine.
- The cup holder grill, the external drip tray, the internal drip tray, the
co ee grounds drawer and the parts of the carafe, indicated in the
“Weekly Cleaning of the Milk Carafe” section, can be washed in the
dishwasher. All other components must be washed with lukewarm
water.
- Do not immerse the machine in water.
- Do not use alcohol, solvents, and/or abrasive objects to clean the
machine.
- Do not dry the machine and/or its components using a microwave
and/or standard oven.

DESCALING
The descaling process takes approx. 35 minutes.
Limescale builds up inside the machine during use. It needs to be removed
regularly as it may clog the water and co ee circuit. The machine tells you
when descaling is needed. If the machine display shows this icon, it means
that you need to descale.
Caution:
Not doing this will ultimately make your machine stop working properly, and in this case repair is NOT covered by your warranty.
Always use the specially formulated descaling solution, since it has been
designed to optimize machine performance.
The descaling solution can be purchased separately. For further details,
please refer to the maintenance products page in this manual.
Warning:
Never drink the descaling solution or any products dispensed until the
cycle has been carried out to the end. Never use vinegar as a descaling
solution.
