•  Arrange the power cable 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 off 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 coffee maker.

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 efficiently 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 qualified 
professional.

FILLING THE WATER TANK

1.   Open the lid (fig. 1) and extract the tank by pulling it up-

wards (fig. 2);

Important!

At first use, thoroughly clean the water tank with warm water.
2.   Fill the tank with fresh clean water, taking care not to ex-

ceed the MAX level  (fig. 3). Put the tank back in the appli-
ance, 

pushing it down 

to open the valves located on the 

bottom of the tank;

3.   More simply, the tank can also be filled without extracting 

it by pouring the water directly from a jug.

Important:

Never operate the appliance without water in the tank or with-
out the tank. Check the water level in the water tank by the 
display (A11).

SETTING UP THE APPLIANCE 

1.  Turn the knob to 

ON

 position to switch on the appliance 

(fig. 4): the 

ON

 pilot light turns on;

2.  Insert the required coffee filter (1 or 2 cups) in the filter 

holder (fig. 5);

3.  Attach the filter holder onto the machine without filling it 

with ground coffee (fig. 6);

4.  Place a 0.5 l / 17 oz  container under the boiler outlet and 

another 0.5 l / 0.5 l / 17 oz   container under the cappuccino 
maker (fig. 7);

5.  Wait until the 

READY 

light comes on (fig. 8) and immedi-

ately afterwards turn the selector dial to the 

 posi-

tion (fig. 9) and let about half the tank discharge from the 
boiler outlet;

6.  Then turn the steam dial to the 

 position (fig. 10) 

and discharge all the water remaining in the tank from the 
cappuccino maker;

7.  Turn the steam dial back to the 

position and the selector 

dial to the 

ON

 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.

Important!

No water is delivered or pump is too noisy:

 make sure the 

tank is filled and placed correctly and repeat the operation till 
water is delivered.

Tips for a hotter coffee

To make espresso coffee at the right temperature, the coffee 
maker should be preheated as follows:
1.  Turn the appliance on by turning the selector dial to 

ON 

position (the 

ON

 light comes on) (fig. 4) and attach the fil-

ter holder onto the appliance without adding pre-ground 
coffee (fig. 6);

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

used later to prepare the coffee, in order to preheat it;

3.  Wait until the 

READY

 light comes on (fig. 8)  and imme-

diately afterwards turn the selector dial to the 

 

position (fig. 9) and let water discharge until the 

READY

 

light turns off, then interrupt by turning the dial to the 

ON

 

position.

4.  Empty the cup, wait until the 

READY

 light comes on again 

and then repeat the same operation.

(It is normal for a small and harmless puff of steam to be given 
off when removing the filter holder).

Use of the mug or high glass tray

When using mugs or high glasses (for example, if you prepare 
long coffee or latte macchiato), remove the drip tray and put the 
mug/glass on the tray (A13 -fig. 11). Once finished the prepara-
tion, put the drip tray back in place.

HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING PRE-

GROUND COFFEE

1.  Place the ground coffee filter (C2 or

 

C3) in the filter holder   

To make one coffee, use the filter with the  

 symbol 

on the bottom, to make two coffees, use the filter with the  

  symbol on the bottom;

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

ground coffee (about 7 g/0,25 oz) in the filter (fig. 12). To 
make two coffees, place two loosely filled measures (about
