• Arrange the cord 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 machine.
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. Take out the tank by pulling upwards (fig. 1).
2. Fill the tank with fresh clean water, taking care not to ex-
ceed the MAX level indicated (fig. 2). Replace the tank (fig.
3), pressing lightly to open the valve located on the bottom
of the tank.
3. More simply, the tank can also be filled without removing
it, pouring the water directly from a jug.
Important:
Never operate the appliance without water in the tank or with-
out the tank.
Please note:
It is normal for there to be water in the space under the tank.
This should therefore be dried regularly with a clean sponge.
SETTING UP THE APPLIANCE
1. Turn the appliance on by pressing the ON/OFF button (fig.
4): the power light I comes on.
2. Insert the required coffee filter (fig. 5) in the filter holder.
3. Attach the filter holder onto the machine without filling it
with ground coffee (fig. 6).
4. Place a 0.5 litre container under the boiler outlet and an-
other 0.5 litre container under the cappuccino maker (fig.
7).
5. Wait until the OK light comes on (fig. 8) and immediate-
ly afterwards turn the selector to the position (fig.
9) and let about half the tank discharge from the boiler
outlet.
6. Then turn the steam dial anti-clockwise (fig. 10) and dis-
charge all the water remaining in the tank from the cap-
puccino maker.
7. Close the steam valve in the – position and return the se-
lector to the (STAND-BY) 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.
Auto-off
If the appliance is not used for a certain period of time (which
varies according to the model), it turns off automatically (the
power light turns off).
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 pressing the ON/OFF button (the
ON light comes on) (fig. 4) and attach the filter 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 OK light comes on (fig. 8) and immediate-
ly afterwards turn the selector dial to the position
(fig. 14) and let water discharge until the OK light turns off,
then interrupt by turning the dial to the
position.
4. Empty the cup, wait until the OK 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).
HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING PRE-
GROUND COFFEE
1. Place the ground coffee filter in the filter holder (fig. 5).
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) in the filter (fig. 11). To make two
coffees, place two loosely filled measures (about 6+6 g) of
pre-ground coffee in the filter. Fill the filter a little at a time
to prevent the pre-ground coffee from overflowing.
Important:
For correct operation, before filling with pre-ground coffee,
make sure there are no coffee residues left in the filter from the last time you made
coffee.
3. Distribute the pre-ground coffee evenly and press lightly
with the presser (fig. 12). Correct pressing of the pre-
ground coffee is essential to obtain a good espresso. If
