USE OF THE MACHINE

THIS MACHINE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

When using for the first time

After unpacking the appliance, remove the plastic bag containing the accessories. All accessories (filter-
holder, measuring spoon, two filters) must be washed with detergent and lukewarm water, then rinsed
thoroughly. Then the internal circuit should be washed as follows:

Filling the reservoir

Remove the tank cover and pour fresh water into the tank (fig. 1). In some models the tank can be remo-
ved by lifting it upwards and, at the same time, lifting the intake tubes (fig. 2).
Rinse the tank and fill with cold water to the upper mark (MAX.), then replace the tank in its housing,
ensuring that the tubes are immersed in the water.

Pre-wash

-

Insert the plug into the power socket (do not forget the safety warnings).

-

Press the ON/OFF switch (

S

) and the delivery switch (

U

). The ON/OFF pilot lamp will light (fig. 3)

and the pump will switch on. Wait until water begins to flow from the boiler nozzle; then turn the
delivery switch off. After about 2 minutes, the pilot lamp will light (fig. 4) to indicate that the water in
the boiler has reached the correct temperature. 

-

Press the delivery switch again for 10/15 seconds, allowing water to flow from the boiler nozzle
(fig. 5). Then turn the delivery switch off.

-

To ensure perfect pre-washing, repeat this procedure at least five or six times.
The machine is now ready for use.

Positioning the filter-holder

To insert the filter-holder in the machine, position it under the nozzle (fig. 6). Then push the filter holder
upwards and at the same time rotate it towards the right 

as far as it will go.

HOW TO MAKE A PERFECT ESPRESSO COFFEE

Some suggestions

-  Always use fresh water and keep the tank clean.
-

Before making coffee, always wait for the “OK” pilot lamp to light. (This lamp indicates that the
water in the boiler has reached the correct temperature for brewing coffee).

-

Before making coffee, heat the cups, filter-holder and filters by holding them under a hot water tap
for a few moments.

Alternatively, proceed as follows to pre-heat:
-

Turn the machine on by pushing the ON/OFF switch (

S

).

-

Insert the 1 or 2-cup filter into the filter holder (fig. 7) and without adding coffee, insert the filter hol-
der in the machine as described previously.

-

Wait until the “OK” pilot lamp lights (fig. 4), then push the delivery switch (

U

) and allow the hot

water to heat the filter-holder, filter and cups.

When making coffee after using the machine to produce steam, it is advisable to
let the water flow from the boiler nozzle in order to bring the machine back to the
ideal temperature required to make a perfect cup of coffee.

Top-quality beans, correctly roasted and ground, will always produce the best coffee.

How to operate

-

Switch on the machine by pushing the ON/OFF switch. The ON/OFF pilot lamp will light.

A few drop of water may escape from the boiler nozzle. This is perfectly normal.

-

Insert the 1- or 2-cup filter (fig. 7). 

-

Place 1 or 2 measures of ground coffee in the filter. Spread the coffee evenly and press down lightly
with the measuring/pressing spoon.
