INSTALLATION

• Place the appliance on a work surface away from

taps and sinks.

• Make sure the mains voltage corresponds to the

voltage indicated on the appliance rating plate.

Connect the appliance to an efficiently earthed

socket with a minimum current rating of 10 A only.

The manufacturer may not be considered liable for

possible incidents caused by the failure to

adequately earth the mains.

• If the plug fitted to the appliance does not match the

power socket, have the socket replaced with a

suitable type by a qualified electrician.

• Never install the appliance in environments where

the temperature may reach 0°C or lower (the

appliance may be damaged if the water freezes).

HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE

FILLING THE WATER TANK

Remove the water tank lid (fig. 1) and then take out the

tank by pulling upwards (fig. 2).

Fill the tank with fresh clean water, taking care not to

exceed the MAX level (fig. 3).

Replace the tank, pressing lightly to open the valve

located on the bottom of the tank.

More simply, the tank can also be filled without

removing it, pouring the water directly from a jug.

IMPORTANT: It is normal for there to be water in the

space under the tank. This should therefore be dried

regularly with a clean sponge.

N.B.: Never use the appliance without water in the tank

and always remember to top up when the level drops

to a couple of centimetres from the bottom.

PREHEATING THE COFFEE UNIT

To obtain espresso coffee at the right temperature, the

coffee machine should be preheated as described:

1.Turn the appliance on by pressing the ON/OFF

button (the button lights up) (fig. 4) and attach the

filter holder to the appliance

without adding ground

coffee

(fig. 5).

2.Place a cup under the filter holder. Use the same cup

as will be used to prepare the coffee in order to

preheat it.

3.Wait for the "coffee ready" light (fig.6) on the

coffee button to come on and immediately

afterwards press the coffee button. Run off the water

until the light goes out, then stop the flow by pressing

the same button again.

4.Empty the cup. Wait until the "coffee ready"

light comes on again then repeat the same

operation.

HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING THE

FILTER HOLDER FOR GROUND COFFEE

1.After preheating the appliance as described above,

place the ground coffee filter in the filter holder,

making sure the projection is correctly inserted in the

slot as shown in fig. 7. For appliances with two

filters, use the smallest for one coffee and the largest

for two coffees.

2.To make just one coffee, place one level measure of

ground coffee, about 7 grams, in the filter (fig. 8). To

make two coffees, place two loosely filled measures

of ground coffee (about 6+6 g) in the filter. Fill the

filter a little at a time to prevent the ground coffee

from overflowing.

IMPORTANT: for correct operation, before filling with

ground coffee, make sure there are no coffee

residues left in the filter from the last time you made

coffee.

3.Distribute the ground coffee evenly and press lightly

with the presser (fig. 9).

N.B.: Correct pressing of the ground coffee is

essential to obtain a good espresso. If pressing is

excessive, coffee delivery will be slow and the froth

will be dark. If pressing is too light, coffee delivery

will be too rapid and the froth will be skimpy and

light coloured.

4.Remove any excess coffee from the rim of the filter

holder and attach to the appliance. Rotate firmly

(fig. 5) to avoid water leaking out.

5.Place the cup or cups under the filter holder spouts

(fig. 10). You are recommended to heat the cups

before making the coffee by rinsing them with a little

hot water or placing them to warm on the cup

warmer shelf on top of the appliance for at least 15-

20 minutes (fig. 11).

6.Make sure the "coffee ready" light (fig. 6) is on

(if it is off, wait until it comes on), then press the

coffee button. Once the required quantity of coffee

has been obtained, interrupt flow by pressing the

same button again (fig. 6).

7.To remove the filter holder, rotate the handle from

right to left.

IMPORTANT: to avoid splashes, never remove the

filter holder while the appliance is delivering

coffee.

8.To dispose of the used coffee, block the filter in place

using the lever incorporated in the handle then empty

the grounds by turning the filter holder upside down

and tapping (fig. 12).

9.To turn the coffee machine off, press the ON/OFF

button (fig. 4).
