6. Extract the appliance by pulling it out using
the handles (fig. 4). Open the lid and fill the
container with coffee beans, then close the
lid and push the appliance in.

Important!

To prevent malfunction, never
introduce pre-ground coffee, freeze dried coffee,
caramelised beans or anything else which could
damage the appliance.

The coffee maker is now ready for normal use.

N.B.!

When using the appliance for the
first time, you need to make 4/5 cups of coffee
and 4/5 cappuccinos before the appliance starts
to give satisfactory results.

N.B.!

Each time the coffee maker is tur­ned on by using the main switch (A23), the ap­pliance performs a "SELF-DIAGNOSIS" cycle and
then goes off. To turn it on again, turn the knob

(A7) (to the right or left) (fig. 5).

Installing the filter

The appliance begins delivering hot water
and the message "PLEASE WAIT... " is di­splayed.
After the flow of hot water stops, the ap­pliance automatically resets to "READY" sta­tus.

Replacing the filter ("Filter
Reset")

When "REPLACE FILTER" is displayed or after 2
months of use (see date indicator), the filter must
be replaced:

1. Remove the exhausted filter;

2. Remove the new filter from the packaging.

3. Slide the pointer of the date indicator (see fig.

28) until the months of use are displayed (the
filter lasts about 2 months).

4. Insert the filter in the water tank and press it
until it touches the bottom of the tank (see
fig. 28).

5. Fill the water tank and insert in the coffee
maker;

6. Turn the cappuccino maker outwards and

you must remove it and notify the appliance of
its removal as follows:

1. Press the MENU button (B6) to enter the menu.

2. Press the NEXT button (B7) until "UNINSTALL
FILTER" is displayed.

3. Press the OK button (B9). The appliance auto­matically resets to "READY" status.

TURNING ON AND HEATING
UP

Each time the appliance is turned on, it performs
an automatic preheat and rinse cycle which can­not be interrupted.
The appliance is ready for use only after comple­tion of this cycle.

Danger of burns!

During rinsing, a little
hot water flows from the coffee spouts.
Avoid contact with splashes of water.

To turn the appliance on, turn the knob (A7)
(to the right or left) (fig. 5). "HEATING UP...
PLEASE WAIT" is displayed.
After heating, the message "RINSING" is displa­yed. As well as heating the boiler, the appliance
also heats the internal circuits by circulating hot
water.
The appliance is at temperature when the mes­sage "READY STANDARD TASTE" is displayed.

MAKING COFFEE USING
COFFEE BEANS

1. The appliance is preset to make coffee with a

standard taste. You can also choose coffee
with an extra-light, light, strong or extra­strong taste.
To choose the required taste, press the
button (B2) (fig. 6). The required coffee taste
is displayed.

2. Place 1 cup under the spouts to make 1 cof-

fee (fig. 7) or 2 cups for 2 coffees (fig. 8).
Lower the spouts as near as possible to the
cup for a creamier coffee (fig. 9).

3. Press the button (B3) to make a short

coffee (fig. 10), the button (B4) for a
standard coffee and the button (B5) for

14

a long coffee. To make 2 coffees, press the
button twice (within 2 seconds).
To change the quantity of coffee the ap­pliance delivers automatically into the cup,
proceed as described in the following chap­ter. (The appliance now grinds the beans and
starts delivering the coffee into the cup.
Once the set amount of coffee has been deli­vered, the machine stops delivery automati­cally and expels the exhausted coffee
grounds into the grounds container.

4. After a few seconds, the ready message is di­splayed again and you can make another cof­fee.

5. To turn the appliance off, turn the knob
(A7) (to the right or left) (fig. 5).
Before going off, the appliance performs an
automatic rinse cycle (a little hot water flows
from the spouts and is collected in the drip
tray beneath. Take care to avoid scalds).

NOTE 1: If the coffee is delivered a drop at a time
or not at all, turn the grinding adjustment knob
(A17) (fig. 11) one click clockwise (see "Adjusting
the coffee mill").
Proceed one click at a time until coffee delivery is
satisfactory.
NOTE 2: If the coffee is delivered too fast and the
cream is not satisfactory, turn the grinding adju­stment knob (A17) (fig. 11) one click anticlock­wise (see "Adjusting the coffee mill").
Avoid turning the grinding adjustment knob ex­cessively otherwise when you select 2 cups, the
coffee may be delivered a drop at a time.
NOTE 3: Tips for a hotter coffee:

• When you turn the appliance on, if you want
to make a short coffee (less than 60 cc),
rinse the cups with hot water to preheat the
cups.
If more than 2/3 minutes have passed since
the last coffee made, before requesting ano­ther coffee, you must preheat the infuser by
pressing the button (B8) (fig. 12).
Deliver the water into the underlying drip tray
or alternatively use this water to fill (and then
empty) the cup to be used for the coffee, so
as to preheat it.

• Unless preheated, do not use excessively

thick cups as they will absorb too much heat.

• Preheat the cups by rinsing them with hot
water.

NOTE 4: While the appliance is making coffee, de­livery can be interrupted at any moment by pres­sing the previously selected button, (B3),
(B4) or (B5).
NOTE 5: As soon as delivery is finished, to in­crease the quantity of coffee in the cup, just hold
down the previously selected coffee button ( ,

or ) until the required amount is reached
(this must be done within 3 seconds after com­pletion of delivery).
NOTE 6: When the appliance displays "FILL
TANK", fill the tank with water or the appliance
will not deliver coffee.
(It is normal for there to be a little water left in
the tank when the message is displayed).
NOTE 7: After about 14 single (or 7 double) cof­fees, the appliance displays "EMPTY GROUNDS
CONTAINER", indicating that the grounds contai­ner is full and must be emptied and cleaned. Until
the grounds container has been cleaned, the ap­pliance continues to display the message and
coffee cannot be made.
To clean, open the service door on the front of
the appliance by pulling the spout (A13) (fig. 13),
extract the drip tray (A14) (fig. 14), empty and
clean.

When cleaning, always extract the drip tray
completely to avoid it falling when the grounds
container is removed.
Empty the grounds container and clean thorou­ghly to remove all residues left on the bottom.

15

Important!

when removing the drip tray,
the grounds container must be emptied, even if it
is not completely full. If this is not done, when
you make the next coffees, the grounds container
may fill up more than expected and clog the ma­chine.

NOTE 8: Never extract the water tank while the
machine is delivering coffee.
If it is removed, it will not be possible to make
the coffee and the appliance will display
"GROUND TOO FINE ADJUST MILL AND PRESS
OK". To use the appliance again, replace the water
tank, press the OK button (B9). "HOT WATER
PRESS OK" is displayed. Press the OK button
(B9) and deliver water from the cappuccino
maker for a few seconds.

CHANGING THE QUANTITY
OF COFFEE IN THE CUP

The appliance is set by default to automatically
make the following types of coffee:

• Short coffee when the button (B3) is

pressed.

• Standard coffee when the button (B4) is

pressed.

• Long coffee when the button (B5) is

pressed. To change these quantities, proceed
as follows:

• Press the button corresponding to the quan-

tity you want to change ( , or ) for
at least 10 seconds then release until the
message "PROGRAM QUANTITY" is displa­yed and coffee delivery commences.

• When the coffee in the cup reaches the re-

quired level, press the same button again to

memorise the new amount.
The appliance is now reprogrammed with the
new settings and displays: "READY".

ADJUSTING THE COFFEE
MILL

The coffee mill is preset in the factory to make

coffee correctly and should not require adjusting
initially.
However, if after making the first few coffees you
find that delivery is either too fast or too slow (a
drop at a time), this can be corrected by adjusting
the grinding adjustment knob (fig. A17) (fig. 11).

Important!

The grinding adjustment knob
must only be turned when the coffee mill is in
operation.

For slower delivery and
creamier coffee, turn one
click anticlockwise (finer
pre-ground coffee).
For faster delivery (not a
drop at a time), turn one
click clockwise (coarser
pre-ground coffee).

(Coffee has been used to

factory test the appliance
and it is therefore completely normal for there to
be traces of coffee in the mill.
It is, however, guaranteed to be new.)

MAKING ESPRESSO
COFFEE WITH PRE­GROUND COFFEE (INSTEAD
OF BEANS)

• Press the button (B7) (fig. 15) to se-

lect the pre-ground coffee function. This di­sables the coffee mill function.
The appliance now displays the message:
"READY PRE-GROUND".

• Extract the machine by pulling it outwards

using the handles.

• Lift the central lid, place one measure of pre-

ground coffee in the funnel (fig. 16), push the
appliance in then proceed as described in the
chapter "Making coffee using coffee beans".
N.B.: You can make just one coffee at a time
by pressing the (B3), (B4) or (B5)
button once only.

• After using the machine with pre-ground cof-

fee, to go back to making coffee using beans,

16

deactivate the pre-ground coffee function by
pressing the button (B2) (fig. 6) again

to enable the coffee mill.
NOTE 1: Never introduce pre-ground coffee when
the machine is off or before pressing the
button (B7) to avoid the coffee spreading through
the inside of the appliance.
NOTE 2: Never add more than 1 level measure,
otherwise either the appliance will not make the
coffee and the pre-ground coffee will be disper­sed inside the appliance, dirtying it, or the coffee
will be delivered a drop at a time.
NOTE 3: Use the measure provided to add the
right amount of coffee.
NOTE 4: Introduce only pre-ground coffee for
espresso coffee machines into the funnel. Never
fill with coffee beans, freeze dried coffee or other
substance that could damage the appliance.
NOTE 5: If more than one measure of pre-ground
coffee is used and the funnel clogs, push the cof­fee down with a knife (fig. 17) then remove and
clean the infuser and machine as described in the
"Cleaning the infuser" chapter.

DELIVERING HOT WATER

The appliance is set by default to automatically
deliver 200 ml of hot water.

• Always make sure the appliance is ready.

• Turn the cappuccino maker outwards and

place a container underneath (fig. 3).

• Press the button (B9) (fig. 1).

"HOT WATER PRESS OK" is displayed.

• Press the OK button and hot water is delive-

red from the cappuccino maker into the con-

tainer underneath.

(You should not deliver hot water for more

than 2 minutes at a time).

To interrupt the flow, press the button

(B9).

Once the set quantity of hot water has been

reached, delivery stops automatically.

MAKING CAPPUCCINO
(USING THE STEAM
FUNCTION)

• Turn the cappuccino maker (A10) towards
the centre (fig. 3).

• Take a container, fill it with about 100 ml of
milk for each cappuccino to be made and
place it under the cappuccino maker.
In choosing the size of the recipient, bear in
mind that the milk doubles or triples in vo­lume.

It is vital to respect the manufacturer’s safety
warnings given on the descaler pack and the war­nings relating to the procedure to follow in the
event of contact with the skin and eyes.

N.B.!

Use the descaler recommended by

the manufacturer only.

20

Use of other descalers invalidates the guarantee.
Failure to descale the appliance as described also
invalidates the guarantee.
Over time, constant heating up of the water used
to make the coffee leads to limescale building up
in the inner circuits of the appliance.
When "DESCALE" is displayed, the machine re­quires descaling.
Proceed as follows:

• Make sure the appliance is ready for use and
the water softener filter (if present) has been
