BEFORE USE
Checking after transport
After removing the packaging, make sure the pro-
duct is complete and undamaged and that all
accessories are present.
Do not use the appliance if it is visibly damaged.
Contact Customer Services (refer to guarantee
leaflet).
Installing the appliance
Important!
When you install the appliance, you should follow
the following safety warnings:
•
The appliance gives off heat. Leave a free
space of at least 5 cm around the sides and
back of the appliance and at least 20 cm at the
top, otherwise the heat could be trapped and
damage the machine.
• Water penetrating the appliance could cause
damage. Do not place the appliance near taps
or sinks.
• The appliance could be damaged if the water
it contains freezes. Do not install the applian-
ce in a room where the temperature could
drop below freezing point.
• 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).
Connecting the appliance
Important! Check that the mains power
supply voltage corresponds to the value 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.
Filling the water tank
• Remove the water tank (Fig.1), rinse it and fill
it with fresh water, without exceeding the MAX
line. When removing the tank, the milk frother
must always be positioned towards the centre
of the machine, otherwise the tank cannot be
removed.
• Replace the tank, pushing it all the way in.
Filling the container with coffee
beans
NB!
• Coffee has been used to factory test the
appliance and it is therefore completely nor-
mal for there to be traces of coffee in the mill.
The machine is, however, guaranteed to be
new.
• Open the lid on the coffee bean container
(Fig.2).
• Fill the container with coffee beans.
• Close the lid.
Important! To avoid malfunctions, never
introduce ground coffee, freeze-dried coffee or
caramelised beans into the mill, or other objects
that may damage the machine. (Pre-ground coffee
can be used in the funnel for pre-ground coffee
(V) only. See page 11 “Making coffee using pre-
ground coffee”.)
USING THE COFFEE MAKER
FOR THE FIRST TIME
NB! When using the appliance for the first
time, you need to make 4/5 cups of coffee and 4/5
cappuccinos before the appliance starts to give
satisfactory results.
1. Check that the water tank is full and that
power cable is plugged into the power outlet.
2. Move the milk frother towards the outside and
place a cup underneath (Fig.3). Then turn the
machine on by pressing the button (Fig.4).
3. IMMEDIATELY AFTER, WITHIN A MAXIMUM
OF 30 SECONDS, turn the steam knob anti-
clockwise until it stops (Fig.5) (it is normal for
the machine to make some noise).
4. After few seconds, a little water will come out
of the milk frother. When there is around 30ml
in the cup, turn the steam knob half a turn
clockwise (Fig.6) until it stops, so as to stop
the water coming out.
5. Wait for the and lights to stop flas-
hing and turn on steady. (When the lights are
flashing it means that the machine is pre-hea-
ting, while when they are on steady it means
that the machine has reached the ideal tempe-
rature for making coffee - see “Meaning of the
