Thank you for choosing this coffee machine. To get the very

best out of your new coffee machine it is advisable to read

these instructions before using the appliance. This is the only

way to ensure optimum results and maximum safety.

Using for the first time

Carefully unpack the coffee maker and remove all the packaging

material. Before using wash the accessories and surfaces. Do not

immerse the coffee maker in water;simply wipe with a cloth and

mild detergent if necessary. Do not put in the dishwasher or use

harsh,abrasive cleaners.

For the best tasting results prior to making coffee we recommend

that you flush the coffee maker out with cold water only, without

using coffee to remove any dust which may still be inside the cof-

fee maker. To do this follow the directions‘Preparing the coffee’.

Installation

• Place the coffee maker on a flat work surface at a safe distance

from taps and sinks.

• Check that the voltage corresponds to that indicated on the

appliance rating plate.The appliance must always be connected

to a well-earthed socket rated at 10A minimum.The manufac-

turer is not liable for damage caused by inadequate earthing of

the appliance.

• In the event of incompatibility between the plug on the appli-

ance and the socket,have the plug replaced by a qualified serv-

ice engineer.

If the cable is damaged or requires replacing,contact a service

centre authorised by the manufacturer only.

• Never install the machine in an environment that can reach a

temperature less than or equal to 0°C (the appliance may be

damaged if the water freezes).

How to prepare the espresso coffee

1Unscrew the water tank cap by turning it anti-clockwise.

2Using the carafe supplied (fig.1) pour water into the boiler (fig.

2) according to the amounts shown in the table on page 10.

Do not exceed the amounts shown as this could cause the

appliance to malfunction.

While filling the boiler make sure the ON/OFF switch is in the

OFF position.

3Carefully close the boiler cap by turning it clockwise.

4Insert the filter into the filter-holder. (fig. 3).

5Fill the filter with ground coffee using the measures described in

the table (page 10) about 7 g per cup.Fill the filter evenly in

small doses to prevent the ground coffee from overflowing.(fig.

4).

IMPORTANT:Before adding the ground coffee to the filter

holder,make sure there is no coffee left from previous usage.

It is important to use medium ground coffee.(Avoid using too

finely ground coffee otherwise the filter can become blocked).

6Remove any excess coffee from the filter rim (fig.5).

7Attach the filter holder to the machine by positioning the han-

dle to the left of the boiler outlet,then pushing upwards and

turning the handle to the right (fig.6).

8Place the carafe with the lid on the drip tray,make sure the

nozzles on the filter holder fit inside the opening on the carafe’s

lid (fig.7).

Make sure that the steam knob is turned off.

9Position the strength selector according to the flavour of coffee

desired,“light”,“medium” or “strong” (fig.8).

10 Press the ON/OFF switch (fig.9). The pilot light will light up.

11 The coffee will start to flow after approximately three minutes.

Turn off the power switch after sufficient coffee has been dis-

pensed.

12 Before removing the filter holder,residual pressure must be

released by slowly turning the steam knob (fig.10) so that the

residual steam can escape.

Note:for safety reasons the cap turns freely and cannot be

opened when the boiler is hot.The tank therefore cannot be

refilled until all the water has been used or until the boiler

cools down (to make this a quicker process,open the steam

knob).

13 To detach the filter holder,turn the handle from right to left.

To remove the used coffee lock the filter with the built-in lever

and let the coffee fall out by knocking the over turned filter

holder.

Coffee made directly into cups

The carafe can be used to make 2 or 4 cups of coffee.

If you prefer to make 2 cups only,fit the adaptor for cups to the

lower section of the filter-holder (fig.12) and place the cups direct-

ly underneath the nozzles.This will allow the coffee to flow directly

into the cups. fig.10

Making Cappuccino

A cappuccino is an espresso coffee with a froth topping made by

heating milk.

1Pour the quantity of milk required to make the cappuccino cof-

fees (about 100 ml for each cappuccino) into the milk container

(E) (fig.13). Never exceed the MAX level (corresponding to

about 250 mls) marked on the tank (fig.14) as milk may contin-

ue to drip from the milk tank tube after the cappuccino has

been made.Always use fresh cold milk.Never use hot milk.

2When preparing four cappuccino coffees, the milk in the tank

must be topped up.

3 Follow the steps 1-10 in the paragraph "Making Espresso

Coffee".Note that the amount of water needed to make 2 cups

of cappuccino is greater than that required for 2 cups of normal

coffee as it is also necessary to produce the steam to froth the

milk.

For best results the strength selector should be set to“MEDIUM”.

4Allow the coffee to drip into the carafe until it reaches the

number 2 or 4 marked on the side of the carafe,then select

"CAPPUCCINO".

5Pour the coffee into the cups amd place one cup at a time under-

neath the steam tube.

6Rotate the steam knob anticlockwise for at least one turn (fig.

15).The frothed milk from the tube will flow into the cup.

Continue until half the milk has been emptied from the tank,

then shut off the steam by rotating the knob clockwise. When

using small cups, to avoid splashes of milk,fit the splash

hood onto the milk tube (fig. 16).

7Repeat the operation for the number of cups required until suf-

ficient milk is in the cups.

8After preparing the last cappuccino,before turning the appliance

off,lift the intake tube in the container above the level of any

milk left as shown in fig.17 and rotate the steam knob anti-

clockwise.Allow the steam to discharge for a few seconds,then

close the knob with the tube extracted.For hygiene reasons,

this operation should always be performed to avoid stale milk

remaining in the circuits of the appliance.

9Finally, to avoid the milk solidifying,the milk container should be

washed immediately as described below in the "Cleaning the

milk frother" paragraph.

Hints

Making good espresso and cappuccino is not difficult however it

does require practice.The following tips will help you get the best

results from your machine:

•Warm the cups before filling with coffee.

•Use an espresso coffee for best results.

•Freshly ground coffee provides the best flavour.To maintain

flavour,fresh coffee is best stored in an airtight container in a

cool place, even in the fridge.

Cleaning the filter holder

About every 300 coffees, clean the filter holder for ground coffee

as follows:

•Remove the filter

•Clean the inside of the filter holder. Never wash in a dishwash-

er.

•Rinse all components and clean the metal filter thoroughly in hot

water using a brush (fig.18).Make sure the holes in the metal fil-

ter are not blocked.If necessary,clean with a pin (fig. 19).

Failure to clean as described above invalidates the guarantee.

Cleaning the espresso boiler outlet

About every 300 coffees, the espresso boiler outlet must be

cleaned as follows:

• check that the coffee machine is not warm and unplug from the

mains;

•using a screwdriver,unscrew the two screws that hold the out-

let of the espresso boiler (fig.20);

•clean the boiler with a damp cloth (fig.21);

•clean the outlet thoroughly in hot water using a brush. Make

sure the holes are not blocked.If necessary, clean with a pin.

• rinse the outlet under the tap, still scrubbing it;

• replace the outlet of the espresso boiler ensuring the screws

are replaced firmly.

Failure to clean as described above invalidates the guarantee.

Cleaning the milk frother

IMPORTANT:the milk frother must be cleaned each time

you use it.

Proceed as follows:

•Remove the milk container by pressing the "PRESS" lever and at

the same time pulling upwards:wash with hot water.

•Remove the red frother by pressing on the clip (A) and at the

same time pulling upwards (fig.22).Remove the rubber mixer,

wash and clean with hot water, particularly the four holes indi-

cated in figure 23 (use a needle).Make sure the hole indicated

with the arrow B is not blocked.

•Once clean,all elements must be replaced correctly. In particu-

lar, make sure the rubber mixer is inserted completely and that

the red frother is pushed in fully until it clicks into place.

If you do not clean the tube after use,milk frothing may not be

successful,the milk may not be sucked up or milk may drip

from the milk tube.

Descaling

It is advisable to clean the calcium from the machine every 200

cups of coffee. It is recommended to use specific (store bought)

products for descaling of espresso coffee machines.

If such products are not available,the following method is recom-

mended.

1. First clean the coffee machine, turn off and unplug from the

mains.

2. Fill the carafe to the brim with water.

3. Dissolve 1 spoonful (about 10/15 g) of citric acid in the water.

4. Pour the solution into the boiler.

5. Replace the boiler cap and leave the solution to work for about

30 minutes.

6. Place the selector in the "LIGHT" position..

7. Check that the filter holder is not attached and place the carafe

without the lid on the drip tray under the boiler outlet.

8. Plug the appliance into the mains.

9. Turn the coffee machine on.After a few minutes,the hot solu-

tion will start to flow through the boiler outlet into the carafe.

10.Place the steam tube in a glass or cup.Open the steam knob

for a few seconds while the descaling solution flows through

the milk frother.This cleans all residue of milk from inside the

milk frother and the tube.

11.Close the steam knob (the descaling solution will continue to

flow into the carafe).

12.When the solution stops flowing into the carafe, turn off and

allow the machine to cool down.

Rinse the carafe, the milk frother and milk container with hot

water.

13.To remove traces of the solution,perform at least 2 coffee-

making cycles without coffee.

Failure to clean as described above invalidates the guarantee.
