SAFETY STANDARD

The machine has been conceived and manufactured in accordance with the following European
safety standard:

EN 603351:

Safety regarding electrical equipment for household or similar use.

EN 60335215:

Special regulations for equipment designed to heat liquids.

SAFETY WARNINGS

READ ALL THE MANUAL BEFORE USE.

SAVE THIS MANUAL.

When using this machine, certain fundamental rules must be observed:

- the machine may not be installed or used in explosive environments (e.g. in the presence of
gases, flammable substances or explosive liquids);

- avoid installing the machine in places where it could be sprayed with water (e.g. next to sinks)
or exposed to sources of intense heat (e.g. ovens) or atmospheric agents (rain, sun, etc.);

- do not install the machine outdoors;

- do not use extension cords or adapters;

- the machine must be installed on a firm, flat surface that can withstand the weight of the
equipment and will not cause the machine to tip up or fall;

- a sufficient space must be left at the back of the machine (about 10 cm.) to allow air to circulate
and to permit the heat to disperse from the slots provided for this purpose;

- do not allow children to use the machine and / or anyone who does not know how to operate it.

- before plugging the machine into the wall socket, check that the voltage is the same as that
shown on the machine rating plate and that the socket is ground (Fig. 2);

- never immerse the machine in water;

- never touch the machine with wet hands or bare feet;

- the accessories and removable parts of the casing are NOT suitable for washing in dishwater;

- do not pull on the power cord when the machine is plugged into the wall socket;

- make sure the that the power cord is unwound to its entire length and is not crushed at any
point;

Attention

- NEVER use your fingers (Fig. 3) to insert a capsule into the brewing compartment;

- the capsule must be inserted according to the instructions given in this manual;

- the lever is connected to a safety microswitch; T does not start with the lever up. If the lever
should be lifted purposely during dispensing , the machine stops, but this is not recommended;

- do not lower the lever when the start/stop dispensing button is depressed (green light on);

- remove the plug from the wall socket before carrying out any maintenance;

- if any faults should be encountered during operation, the machine should not be used but
returned to Tuttoespresso or an Authorised T Centre to be checked;

- use of accessories, other than originals or ones made especially for this equipment, is not
recommended as they are unable to guarantee the level of quality required.

In the event a new power cord should be required, please contact Tuttoespresso.

18

Empty the used capsule reservoir after dispensing approximately 10 drinks.

Refill the water reservoir after dispensing approximately 10 drinks.

Do not depress the start/stop dispensing button if there is no water in the reservoir as the pump
could burn itself out.

Follow the Ordinary and Preventive maintenance/cleaning routines every day and once a week.

INSTALLATION AND USE

11

SAFETY STANDARD

Lower the brewing chamber closing lever (Fig. 19) and the light inside the green start/stop
dispensing button comes on.

Depress the green button to start dispensing the drink. Once the required amount of liquid has
been dispensed, press the button again to stop dispensing (Fig. 20).

Lift the brewing chamber lever to prepare the machine for insertion of the next capsule.

Attention

NEVER lift the brewing chamber closing lever when a drink is being dispensed, as this will stop the
dispensing, nor leave the green start/stop dispensing button depressed with the lever in up
position.

Attention

Never open the brewing compartment door (Fig. 21) during dispensing. Never force it open.

USEFUL ADVICE

1) To obtain a good drink, it is advisable to always leave the machine switched ON.

2) Carry out a dispensing cycle with warm water before the first use or when you change the type

of drink, taking care in this case to first remove the used capsule present in the machine with
a proper tool ( never your fingers).

3) If several drinks are dispensed one after the other, check that the orange water heating

button does not light. If it does, wait until it goes out to enable the boiler to sufficiently heat
up the water.

4) Heat the porcelain cups into which the drink will be dispensed. The froth on the drinks is not as

good when dispensed into cold porcelain.

5) It is advisable to use higher quality water (purified mineral water) to prevent scale incrustations

in the machines heating element.

6) Lift the lever before removing the cup/glass after dispensing so that the remaining liquid in

mixing compartment can descend into the cup/glass.

INSTALLATION AND USE

NOISE LEVELS

This sound test, referring to a Sample Model with the same design and construction characteristics
as your machine, was carried out in compliance with the Decree Law 277/91 (in accordance with
CEE Directives n. 80/1107  82/605  83/447  86/188 and 88/642) calculating personal exposure,
starting with the acoustic pressure and adding the time of exposure.

The phonometer used complies with the prescriptions of standard IEC 651 Group 1 and was calibrated
before use according to a sample source of sound.

The reading was taken from the users position, the continuous level of acoustic pressure was less
than 70 dB(A) and the continuous level of acoustic power emitted by the machine at the users
position was less than 85 dB(A).

SAFETY STANDARD

EXPECTED USE

This machine (Fig. 4) is designated for household (non-professional) use only.

This machine is designated to dispense hot drinks in conjunction with capsules and designed for
use only with Tuttoespresso capsules.

For proper operation, the machine has been designed to operate in closed environment at room
temperature, above 5°C and under normal environmental conditions.

NOTE: for the best results, allow one minute between dispensing drinks proportioned to the expected
domestic use (e.g. 10-20 dispenses per day).

Attention

As some capsule ingredients are particularly susceptible to excessive heat and humidity, the machine
may not work properly at temperatures above 30°C or at level of relative humidity above 80%.

Attention

The drinks dispensed by the machine are considered to be at a high temperature and therefore
could be dangerous if used improperly.

PRODUCT

The capsules must be stored in a cool, dry place in order not to alter their ingredients; levels of
relative humidity over 80% may cause the powder ingredients to clump.

If this condition is not complied with, Tuttoespresso cannot guarantee the correct operation of the
machine nor the quality of the drinks dispensed.

Place the machine on a firm, flat surface.

Remove the water reservoir (Fig. 10) and fill it by ¾ (about 1 litre) with drinking water from the
tap (Fig. 11) (it is advisable to use purified water to avoid build-up of scale in the operating parts
of the machine).

Position the water take-up tube into the water reservoir (Fig. 12) and insert the reservoir into the
relevant compartment.

Plug the power cord into the apparent inlet located on the backside of the machine (Fig. 13) and
