FILLING THE WATER TANK:
To remove the water tank simply pull upwards (fig 2)
and fill the tank at the sink. Do not exceed the MAX
level on the water tank (fig 3). The tank may also be
filled without removing it, simply by pouring water into
it directly from a jug.
Replace the tank by connecting the valve at the bottom
of the tank with the hole in the base on the machine.
Note: Do not operate the appliance without water in
the tank and always remember to fill the tank when the
water level goes below the MIN level.
PREHEATING THE COFFEE MACHINE
To obtain espresso coffee at the right temperature, the
coffee maker must be preheated. Push the ON/OFF
button (fig. 3) at least half an hour before making the
coffee, making sure the filter holder is attached to the
appliance (check that the steam release knob is closed).
To attach the filter holder, place it under the boiler outlet
with the handle towards the left (fig. 7). Push upwards
and at the same time turn the handle as far to the right
as possible. To avoid leaks of water, rotate firmly. After
half an hour, make coffee following the instructions of
the next paragraph.
Alternatively, for a faster operation, proceed as
follows:
1.
Turn the machine on by pressing the ON/OFF button
(fig. 3).
Attach the empty filter holder (
without
coffee
) to the machine
2. Position a cup under the filter holder. Use the same
cup that the coffee will be served in, so that it may
be preheated.
3. Wait until the “OK” light comes on or 3 minutes (fig.
5), press the 1-cup button (fig. 6) and allow water to
flow.
4. Empty the cup. (It is normal for a small and
harmless puff of steam to be given off when
removing the filter holder).
HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING THE FILTER
HOLDER FOR GROUND COFFEE
1.
To turn the machine on, press the button . The on/off
light will turn on (Fig. 3).
2.
After preheating the appliance as described in the
above paragraph
, remove the filter holder and to
prepare a single coffee, fill the filter with a level
measure of ground coffee, about 7 g (fig. 8).
To
prepare two coffees
, use the filter and fill with two
loosely filled measures of ground coffee (about 6+6
g). Fill the filter in small doses to prevent the ground
coffee from overflowing.
IMPORTANT: For correct operation, before adding the
ground coffee to the filter holder, make sure the filter
is free from ground coffee from the previous infusion.
3.Distribute the ground coffee uniformly and press it
lightly with the pressing pad.
NOTE:Pressing the coffee is very important in order to
prepare a food coffee. However if you press too
hard, coffee will come out slowly and cream will be
of a dark colour. If you press to light, coffee will come
out too fast and cream will be a very light color.
4.
Remove any excess coffee from the rim of the filter
holder and attach the filter holder to the appliance.
Rotate firmly (fig. 4) to avoid leaks of water.
5.Place the cup or cups (cups can be preheated by
rinsing under hot water) on the black part of the
removable drip tray (fig. 9).
6.
Select quantity M1 (around 30cc) or M2 (around
50cc) by pressing the SET button
(fig. 10).
The M1 or
M2 light will indicate the quantity selected. To change
the pre-set quantity, follow the instructions described in
the paragraph "HOW TO CHANGE THE PRE-SET
QUANTITIES M1 AND M2".
7. Wait until the “OK” light (fig. 5) comes on (in case,
wait until it stops flashing), then
press the 1 CUP
button (Fig. 6) or the 2 CUPS button
(fig. 11).
The machine will carry out a brief pre-infusion phase,
followed by a pause, and finally will complete the
infusion: this will bring out the full flavour of the coffee.
The machine will automatically stop delivering coffee
upon reaching the selected quantity.
8.
To detach the filter holder, turn the handle from the right
to the left.
9.To remove the used coffee, hold the filter locked with
the special lever that is built into the handle and let
the coffee fall out by knocking the overturned filter
holder (fig. 12).
NOTE: The delivery of the coffee can be stopped manually
by pressing the 1cup button or 2 cups button
When delivery is complete, more coffee can be made by
pressing the 1 cup button or 2 cups button within
five seconds from when delivery stops.
To avoid any splashing, do not detach the filter holder
while the machine is dispensing coffee.
10.
To switch the machine off, press the button
(fig. 3).
11.
Regularly check the level indicator for the water in the
drip tray. When the red indicator is seen on the tray,
empty the tray (The drip tray should normally be
emptied after 12 cups of coffee).
ATTENTION:
The first time that coffee is prepared, it is
necessary to wash all of the accessories and the
internal circuits of the machine, preparing at least
five coffees without using the ground coffee
