Arrange the cord in such a way that it cannot be damaged
by sharp edges or contact with hot surfaces (e.g. electric
hot plates).
•
The appliance gives of heat. After positioning the appli-
ance on the worktop, leave a space of at least 3 cm be-
tween the surfaces of the appliance and the side and rear
walls and at least 15 cm above the machine.
Connecting the appliance
Danger!
Check that the mains power supply voltage corresponds to that
indicated on the rating plate on the bottom of the appliance.
Connect the appliance to an eiciently earthed and correctly
installed socket with a minimum current rating of 10A only. If
the power socket does not match the plug on the appliance,
have the socket replaced with a suitable type by a qualiied
professional.
FILLING THE WATER TANK
1. Take out the tank by pulling upwards (ig. 1).
2. Fill the tank with fresh clean water, taking care not to ex-
ceed the MAX level indicated (ig. 2). Replace the tank (ig.
3), pressing lightly to open the valve located on the bottom
of the tank.
3. More simply, the tank can also be illed without removing
it, pouring the water directly from a jug.
Important:
Never operate the appliance without water in the tank or with-
out the tank.
Please note:
It is normal for there to be water in the space under the tank.
This should therefore be dried regularly with a clean sponge.
SETTING UP THE APPLIANCE
1. Turn the appliance on by pressing the ON/OFF button (ig.
4): the power light I comes on.
2. Insert the required cofee ilter (ig. 5) in the ilter holder.
3. Attach the ilter holder onto the machine without illing it
with ground cofee (ig. 6).
4. Place a 0.5 litre container under the boiler outlet and an-
other 0.5 litre container under the cappuccino maker (ig.
7).
5. Wait until the OK light comes on (ig. 8) and immediate-
ly afterwards turn the selector to the
position (ig.
9) and let about half the tank discharge from the boiler
outlet.
6. Then turn the steam dial anti-clockwise (ig. 10) and dis-
charge all the water remaining in the tank from the cap-
puccino maker.
7. Close the steam valve in the – position and return the se-
lector to the
(STAND-BY) position.
8. Empty the two containers and replace them under the
boiler outlet and the cappuccino maker and repeat points
5-6-7.
Now the appliance is ready for use.
Auto-of
If the appliance is not used for a certain period of time (which
varies according to the model), it turns of automatically (the
power light turns of).
Tips for a hotter cofee
To make espresso cofee at the right temperature, the cofee
maker should be preheated as follows:
1. Turn the appliance on by pressing the ON/OFF button (the
ON light comes on) (ig. 4) and attach the ilter holder onto
the appliance without adding pre-ground cofee (ig. 6).
2. Place a cup under the ilter holder. Use the same cup to be
used later to prepare the cofee, in order to preheat it.
3. Wait until the OK light comes on (ig. 8) and immediate-
ly afterwards turn the selector dial to the
position
(ig. 14) and let water discharge until the OK light turns of,
then interrupt by turning the dial to the
position.
4. Empty the cup, wait until the OK light comes on again and
then repeat the same operation.
(It is normal for a small and harmless puf of steam to be given
of when removing the ilter holder).
HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING PRE-
GROUND COFFEE
1. Place the ground cofee ilter in the ilter holder (ig. 5).
To make one cofee, use the ilter with the
symbol
on the bottom, to make two cofees, use the ilter with the
symbol on the bottom.
2. To make just one cofee, place one level measure of pre-
ground cofee (about 7 g) in the ilter (ig. 11). To make two
cofees, place two loosely illed measures (about 6+6 g) of
pre-ground cofee in the ilter. Fill the ilter a little at a time
to prevent the pre-ground cofee from overlowing.
Important:
For correct operation, before illing with pre-ground cofee,
make sure there are no cofee residues left in the ilter from the last time you made
cofee.
3. Distribute the pre-ground cofee evenly and press lightly
with the presser (ig. 12). Correct pressing of the pre-
ground cofee is essential to obtain a good espresso. If
