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

Before using the machine for the first time, wash all the acces-

sories in warm soapy water and rinse. For the best tasting coffee

the internal circuits must be flushed through at least five times.To

do this follow the instructions in the paragraph “Preparing the cof-

fee” using just water.

To wash the steam boiler, fill with water, press the cappuccino but-

ton and after 5 minutes open the steam knob. Leave the steam

knob open for a maximum of 5 minutes.

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 pro-

fessional.

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 (if the water in it

freezes, the coffee maker may be damaged).

Anti-chlorine filter

The filter eliminates the taste of chlorine from the water.

To install, proceed as follows:

• Remove the chlorine filter from the plastic bag and rinse in tap

water.

• Lift the coffee lid, remove the filter holder from its housing by

pulling upwards (fig. 1).

• Open the holder by pressing in the area marked "PUSH" and

place the filter carefully in the holder as indicated in fig. 2.

• Close the holder and replace in its housing by pressing down-

wards as far as it will go.

• After 80 cycles or six months use, the chlorine filter must be

replaced.

Preparing the coffee

• Fill the carafe with cold water to slightly above the mark indi-

cating the number of cups required (printed on the “drip coffee

side”) (fig. 3).

IMPORTANT: never exceed the 10 cups line to avoid

water leaking from the slits in the back of the appliance.

Do not use hot water or the appliance will indicate the

end of coffee filtration too soon.

• Pour the water into the water tank (fig. 4).The quantity of cof-

fee obtained after filtration is slightly less than the water

poured into the tank as a certain amount of water remains in

the coffee grounds or is lost as steam.

• Place the carafe on the hot plate, making sure the lid is in place.

• Place the coffee in the filter, using the measure provided. Level

evenly (fig. 5).

As a general rule, use a level measure of coffee (about 7 grams)

for each cup required (for example, 10 measures for 10 cups).

However, the quantity of coffee used can be varied according to

personal taste. Use good quality coffee for filter coffee

machines.

•Close the lid and press the "coffee" switch (fig. 6).The red "ON"

light on the left of the switch shows that the machine is working.

The coffee will begin to emerge after a few seconds, when a char-

acteristic gurgle occurs, this means the filtration has finished.

During filtration, it is normal for the appliance to give off

steam and for condensation to form near the lid.

To k eep the coffee hot after filtration, place the carafe on the hot

plate and leave the appliance on (coffee ON indicator lit):The cof-

fee in the carafe is kept at the right temperature.

Preparing cappuccino

Filling the boiler for the first time

• Make sure the steam boiler is off (cappuccino indicator light off).

• Unscrew the boiler cap by rotating anticlockwise and make sure

the steam knob is closed tightly.

• Fill the water measure to the 170 g – 6 oz line (fig. 7).

• Pour the water slowly into the boiler. Be careful not to go

above the MAX line (fig. 7).

• Close the boiler cap by rotating clockwise firmly.With the boil-

er filled to this level, you can make from 15-20 cups of cappuc-

cino.

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 the boiler cools down (to make this

a quicker process open the steam knob) (fig. 10).

Important: the boiler should ideally be filled when cold

using the measure provided.

If the boiler must be filled when hot (for example, when the water

runs out while you are making cappuccino), you are recommended

to add one measure only and NOT TO FILL THE BOILER UP TO

THE MAX 170 g – 6 oz mark (fig. 7) otherwise the next time you

use the appliance the milk will not be perfectly frothed.

• When you fill the boiler subsequently, follow the instructions

above. Fill ONLY when the water in the boiler is completely

exhausted.

Preparing the milk for cappuccino

•Prepare the desired coffee you wish to have with your cappuc-

cino, as in paragraph “Preparing the coffee” or “Preparing Italian

coffee”.

•While the coffee is filtering, press the "cappuccino" switch so

that the steam boiler can heat up (fig. 8).

• Pour cold milk into the milk container.Two or three cappucci-

nos can be made when the tank is filled to the MAX line (fig. 9).

Never exceed the MAX level as milk may continue to drip out

of the tube after the cappuccino has been made.

• Always wait until the "OK" indicator light (fig. 8) comes on

before dispensing the milk as this indicates that the ideal milk

frothing temperature has been reached.

•When the coffee is ready, pour a little (about 60 cc, 2 fl. oz.)

into a sufficiently large cup and place it under the milk tube.

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

10).The frothed milk will run out of the milk tube. If you use

small cups, fit the splash hood onto the milk tube (fig. 11) to

avoid splashes of milk.

• Fill the cup with the quantity of frothed milk required.

Tip:To obtain perfect cappuccino, the following propor-

tions are recommended: 1/3 of coffee to 2/3 of frothed

milk.

• To stop the milk running out, rotate the steam knob clockwise.

IMPORTANT: to ensure successful milk frothing, always

wait until the OK indicator (fig. 8) comes on before

making another cappuccino.

• After 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. 12 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.

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

washed immediately as described below in the "Cleaning the

milk frother" paragraph.

Preparing Italian coffee

To obtain a cappuccino with a more intense flavour, prepare the

coffee as follows:

• Fill the carafe with cold water up to the level shown on the

carafe (Italian coffee side) for the required number of cups

(from 1-4). If the carafe does not have “Italian coffee” on the

side, fill the carafe according to the table on page 8.

IMPORTANT: never exceed the maximum quantity of

water indicated in the table otherwise coffee could leak

out during operation.

• Pour into the tank (fig. 4) and DO NOT place the carafe on the

hot plate.

• Place two measures (7+7 grams) of coffee in the filter for every

cup of cappuccino required.You can use either filter or moka

coffee (the latter makes an excellent Italian cappuccino).

However the quantity of coffee will vary according to personal

taste.

• Close the coffee lid and press the coffee ON/OFF switch (fig. 6).

• When you hear the gurgle at the end of filtration, place the cup

(not plastic as it could be deformed by the heat) at the centre

of the hot plate.Take care to avoid burns: the hot plate is

extremely hot.

• Fill the coffee cup (about 60 cc, 2 fl. oz.) by moving the coffee

dispenser to the right (fig. 13). Coffee delivery will stop auto-

matically when the coffee dispenser is released.

• Prepare the cappuccino as described in the chapter "Preparing

the milk for cappuccino".

Cleaning and maintenance

Before cleaning or maintenance, always turn the appliance off,

unplug from the mains socket and leave to cool.

Cleaning the milk frother

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. 14).Remove the rubber mixer,

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

cated in figure 15 (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.

Important: to help clean the milk tube, use the tube

brush provided.

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.

Other cleaning

• Also clean the carafe, filter holder and permanent filter regular-

ly.

• When cleaning plastic parts of the appliance, do not use sol-

vents or abrasive detergents. Clean with a soft damp cloth only.

• Remove the drip tray, empty and wash regularly.

• NEVER emerge the appliance in water.

Descaling

Over time, calcium in the water may build up and cause blockages,

reducing the efficiency of the coffee machine and increasing the

time required to make the coffee.

Formation of scale depends on the hardness of the water and on

how often the coffee machine is used.To obtain optimum perform-

ance, the appliance should be descaled regularly.

The machine should therefore be descaled at least every 40 cycles.

To descale, proceed as follows.

• extract the chlorine filter and the permanent filter (to avoid

contamination);

• fill the carafe with four cups of water;

• dissolve two spoonfuls (about 30 grams) of citric acid (available

from chemists or drug stores) and pour the solution into the

water tank;

• place the carafe on the hot plate and the filter holder without

ground coffee;

• percolate the equivalent of two cups then turn the appliance off;

• leave the solution to act for an hour;

• turn the appliance on again and allow the rest of the solution to

percolate;

• rinse by operating the appliance with water only at least three

times (a full carafe each time);

Service and repair

If the machine breaks down or is faulty, contact your nearest

authorised service centre. Repairs not carried out by authorised

personnel invalidate the guarantee. Damage to the coffee machine

caused by scale is not covered by the guarantee if descaling is not

performed regularly as described above.
