29 SAFETY INDICATIONS
Danger!
Electric voltage may cause death!
Electrical parts should never be in
contact with water: danger of shortcircuit! Overheated steam and hot
water may cause burns. Do not
direct steam or hot water jet
towards the body; furthermore,
great attention must be given when
touching either the dispensing tube
or the heating plate: danger of
burns!
This machine must be
used exclusively for the
purpose it has been
manufactured.
This machine has been manufactured for
domestic use only. Do not make technical
changes for any reason whatsoever; any
improper use is forbidden, due to the risks
which might occur!
Indications
The machine shall only be used by adults and
properly instructed persons.
Voltage
Never touch parts under current! They might
cause electric shocks, 'serious injuries or
death. The automatic coffee machine must be
connected to the power supply. Voltage must
correspond to the voltage shown on the
appliance rating plate.
A Power cord
Never use the machine with a defective power
cord. Replace defective power cords and
plugs, contacting authorized personnel. Do not

Grind
If the coffee flows too quickly (coarse grind) or too slowly
(fine grind) into the cup, adjust the coffee grinder:
Recommended grind level: position 5
Grind too coarse.= adjust to a lower value (for
instance from 5 to 3)
Grind too fine = adjust to a higher value (for
instance from 5 to 7).
Adjust the grind level only when the coffee grinder is
running. Avoid extreme adjustment (for instance, on
position 1) whenever possible. It is preferable to try another
coffee blend, because not all coffee blends are suitable.
Coffee
Make sure coffee is fresh. An espresso roast is preferable.
In order to obtain a strong and aromatic espresso coffee,
use special blends suitable for espresso coffee machines
and special cups with thick sides.
Keep coffee in a cool place, in an hermetically sealed,
container.
Water quality
In addition to blend, grind and water temperature, the water
quality is of the utmost importance for the brewing of a
good coffee. Thus, the use of a decalcifier to remove
limescale and eliminate any unpleasant taste and organic
impurities from water, is strongly recommended.
Furthermore a water decalcifier partially eliminates
limescale from water, thus protecting the machine heating
system from chemical buildup and prolonging its working
life. The water tank must be emptied daily and filled with
fresh water.
Operation time
The machine may be kept on all day long. However, it is
advisable to activate the energy

29 This machine grinds a portion of fresh coffee for
each cup; for two cups, it grinds two portions of coffee, one
after the other thus ensuring optimum coffee quality.
Before any use, make sure the steam/ hot
water knob is closed.
Adjust the desired grinding degree: the recommended
average value is 5.
The grinding degree must be adjusted only when the
coffee grinder is operating, otherwise it may be damaged.
Place one or two preheated cups on the grill (3) under the
dispenser (6). Press the relevant selection key. The
machine will automatically dispense the selected coffee.
The coffee flow may be stopped at any moment by
pressing any selection button (except the standby switch),
for instance when an excessive quantity of water has been
selected. Should you interrupt the coffee flow after the first
of two coffees has been brewed, the second is not
dispensed.
Pre-ground coffee

Descaling
Descaling is necessary to remove limescale from all
surfaces and holes, thus ensuring a perfect operation of
valves, heating controls and other important parts.
The machine must be descaled every 3-4 months, according
to the water hardness degree. A more frequent descaling is
recommended wherever the water hardness degree is very
high.
DESCALING
READY FOR USE
This machine is supplied with a particular warning light
Descaling must be carried out at the latest when this
message is displayed. In spite of the message, the machine
does not stop working. To switch off the display, press the
steam key for approx. 5 seconds until the message disappears.
Furthermore, said display warning may be

adjusted according to the water hardness degree. The
machine has been adjusted at the factory to 25° _H value,
which causes the display to switch on showing the
message «descaling» after approx. 150. The water
hardness value may be changed, if necessary, following the
instructions shown on page 27.
The following adjustments are possible:
Hardness 4: high water hardness, over 29° 1-1(14° dH),
approx. 80 I water passage. Hardness 3: medium water
hardness, approx. 20°-29° H (7°-14° dH), approx. 150 I
water passage
Hardness 2: soft water, approx. 12°-20° H (4°-7° dH),
approx. 300 I water passage Hardness 1: less than 10° H
(3° dH), approx. 500 water passage
In case of hard water, a filter should be used both to
improve the coffee quality and to protect the machine, thus
reducing the descaling frequency.
Note: for this purpose, use a descaling product
suitable for coffee machines. Never use
vinegar to clean the machine; it might
damage it.
There are two ways to carry out the descaling
