USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME

• Coffee has been used to factory test the appliance and it is

therefore completely normal for there to be traces of coffee
in the mill.

• Customise water hardness as soon as possible following

the instructions in the “Setting water hardness” section.

1. Connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply and

place the main switch (A23) in position I.

2. After 5 seconds, the appliance displays “FILL TANK”. Extract

the water tank (fig. 4), rinse and fill with fresh water wi-
thout exceeding the MAX line. Replace and push as far as it
will go.

through at intervals of about 3 seconds):

When the message “PRESS OK TO SET ENGLISH” is displa-
yed, press the OK button (B4) (fig. 3) for 3 seconds until
“ENGLISH SET” is displayed. If you set the wrong langua-
ge, follow the instructions in the “Setting the language”
section. If your language is not available, select one from
those displayed (the instructions refer to English).

Then follow the instructions displayed:

4. Place a cup under the hot water spout (fig. 5).

(If the hot water spout is not inserted, the appliance di-
splays “INSERT WATER SPOUT”. Attach the spout as shown
in figure 6. The machine displays “HOT WATER PRESS OK”.
Press the OK button (B4), a little water comes out of the
spout.

5. After that the machine displays “TURNING OFF PLEASE

WAIT” and goes off.

6. Extract the appliance by pulling it out using the handles

(fig. 7). Open the lid and fill the container with coffee be-
ans, then close the lid and push the appliance in.

The coffee machine is now ready for normal use.

Important!

Never introduce pre-ground coffee, free-

ze dried coffee, caramelised beans or anything else which could
damage the appliance.

Please note:

When using the appliance for the first

time, you need to make 4-5 cups of coffee and 4-5 cappuccinos
before the appliance gives satisfactory results.

Please note:

Each time you turn the coffee machine on

by the main switch (A23), it performs a SELF-DIAGNOSIS cycle
and then goes off. To turn it on again, press the ON/OFF/standby
button (A7) (fig. 1)

TURNING ON AND HEATING UP

Each time the appliance is turned on, it performs an automatic

preheat and rinse cycle which cannot be interrupted.
The appliance is ready for use only after completion of this
cycle.

Danger of burns!

During rinsing, a little hot water

flows from the coffee spouts.

To turn the appliance on, press the ON/OFF/standby button (A7)
(fig. 1). The message “HEATING UP PLEASE WAIT” is displayed.
When heating is complete, the message changes to “RINSING”.
The appliance is at temperature when the message “COFFEE
STANDARD” is displayed.

MAKING COFFEE USING COFFEE BEANS

1. The appliance is preset to make coffee with a standard

taste. You can choose coffee with an extra-mild, mild,
standard, strong or extra-strong taste. There is also a pre-
ground coffee option. To choose the required taste, press
the

button (B2) (fig. 8) a number of times. The requi-

red coffee taste is displayed.

2. Place 1 cup under the spouts to make 1 coffee (fig. 9) or 2

cups for 2 coffees (fig. 9).

Lower the spouts as near as possible to the cup for a crea-
mier coffee (fig. 10).

3. Press the

button (B3) (fig. 11) to select the type of

coffee (espresso, coffee, long coffee).

Now press the

button (B4) (fig. 12) if you want to

make one coffee and the

button (B5) (fig. 13) if you

want to make 2 coffees. The appliance now grinds the be-
ans and starts delivering the coffee into the cup. Once the
set amount of coffee has been delivered, the machine stops
delivery automatically and expels the exhausted coffee
grounds into the grounds container.

4. After a few seconds, the appliance is ready for use again.
5. To turn the appliance off, press the ON/OFF/standby button

(A7) (fig. 1).
