Washing cycle
This appliance is equipped with a rinsing cycle
program for the usual, daily and weekly rinsing.
If regularly used, this program effectively elimi-
nates the greasiness of coffee in inaccessible
parts and avoids alterations in the taste of
coffee.
Depending on the way the appliance is used, it
is advisable to rinse it every month or after max.
250 cups of coffee. The rinsing cycle lasts about
5 minutes, and it is divided into 4 cycles,
including the rinsing with cold water. Each cycle
is followed by a short pause of about 40
seconds.
Never stop the rinsing cycle.
Important:
before starting the rinsing cycle,
always fill completely the water tank and put a
capacious container (min. 1 litre) under the
coffee dispensing unit, which is height-adjust-
able and can be removed for cleaning.
The rinsing cycle needs about 1 litre of water
(including final rinsing). From time to time, empty
the water tank.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Prolonged idleness
If the machine hasn’t been used for a prolonged
period, it is advisable for hygienic reasons to run
a rinse cycle through the machine.
Place a cup under the steam/hot water spout (7)
and fill it with water by operating the hot water
knob.
Preheating cups
Cups may be preheated by placing them on the
special cup heating plate.

Grounds container warning light
As soon as there are 30 grounds in the container,
the following message is displayed:
"DREGDRAWER FULL "
"READY FOR USE "
The machine does not stop: remove the grounds
container and empty it.
Grind adjustment
If the coffee flows too quickly (coarse grind) or too
slowly (fine grind) into the cup, adjust coffee grinder.
The recommended grind level is position 5.
Should grinding be too coarse, adjust it on a
lower value (e.g. from 5 to 3). On the contrary,
should grinding be too fine, adjust it on a higher
value (e.g. from 5 to 7).
Adjust the grind level only when the coffee
grinder is running. Avoid any extreme adjustment
(for instance on position 1) whenever possible.
It is preferable to try another coffee blend, since
not all coffee blends are suitable.
Coffee blends
Make sure coffee is fresh. An espresso roast is
preferable.
In order to obtain a strong and aromatic espres-
so coffee, use special blends suitable for espres-
so coffee machines and special cups with thick
sides.
Keep coffee in a cool place, in an hermetically
sealed container.
Operation time
The machine may be kept on all day long.
However, in case of a prolonged period of
idleness, it is advisable to enable the energy
saving function by pressing the standby
switch. If the timer is properly programmed, this
operation is automatic: for this purpose, see
page 88.
In case of a prolonged period of idleness, it is
advised to switch the main switch (4) off; once
switched on again, the machine will be ready
to be used within two minutes.
Switching off the machine
Switch the machine off only after the coffee cycle
has been concluded.
