Inserting/removing the fi lter holder
∙ The fi lter holder is fi tted to the appliance
by means of a bayonet-type locking
socket. When attaching the fi lter holder,
its handle must be facing to the left of the
boiler outlet (picture I). To lock, turn the
fi lter holder fi rmly as far as possible to the
right, i.e. in an anti-clockwise direction
(picture II).
∙ To unlock and remove the fi lter holder,
turn it to the left, i.e. clockwise.
∙ Caution: Do not remove the fi lter holder
while the appliance is in use, since the
fi lter holder is under pressure. Once the
brewing cycle is complete, wait around 30
seconds before removing the fi lter holder.
Filling with water:
∙ Fill only with fresh water, on a daily basis;
make sure that the water container is
cleaned at regular intervals. Residual
water should be poured out daily. Do not
switch the appliance on unless the water
container is fi lled.
∙ Take off the water container lid.
∙ Lift out the water container.
∙ Fill the container with (non-carbonated)
cold water while observing the ‘Max’
marking on the water container.
∙ Once fi lled, replace the container in the
appliance and push it down in order to
open the valve in the bottom.
∙ Close the lid on the water container.
∙ The water level must be monitored and, if
necessary, the container re fi lled in good
time.
∙ Should the pump have started sucking
in air from the empty water container,
fi ll the water container fi rst with the
indicated maximum amount of water.
When ‘bleeding’ the system afterwards, it
may take a few moments before water is
emitted again.
∙ Deposits of dirt and lime may cause the
seals in the outlet at the bottom of the
water container and those around the
valves to leak. Check the seals carefully
each time the water container is inserted
and, if necessary, carefully remove any
existing deposits.
Before using for the fi rst time
∙ Before the appliance is used for the
fi rst time, all detachable parts must be
thoroughly cleaned as described in the
section Cleaning and care . Re fi t the
drip tray and drainer to the appliance
afterwards.
∙ Clean the system by fl ushing with hot
water as follows:
∙ Fill the container with water.
∙ Insert the fi lter holder with any of the fi lter
sieves but without putting any ground
espresso coffee in.
∙ Place a suitable container, with a capacity
of about 500 ml, under the outlet opening.
∙ Insert the plug into a wall outlet.
∙ Use the On/Off switch to turn the
appliance on.
∙ Wait until the green temperature indicator
shows a steady light.
∙ Set the rotary control to its position.
Hot water is emitted from the outlet.
∙ Leave the pump running until about half
the water in the container has passed
through. Then switch off the pump by
