• 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 o 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 eciently 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 qualied
professional.
FILLING THE WATER TANK
1. Open the water tank lid (g. 1), then take out the tank by
pulling upwards (g. 2).
2. Fill the tank with fresh clean water, taking care not to
exceed the MAX level. (g. 3). Replace the tank, pressing
lightly to open the valve located on the bottom of the tank.
3. More simply, the tank can also be lled 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 (g.
4): the power light I comes on.
2. Insert the required coee lter (1 or 2 cups) (g. 5) in the
lter holder.
3. Attach the lter holder onto the machine without lling it
with ground coee (g. 6).
4. Place a 0.5 litre container under the boiler outlet and
another 0.5 litre container under the cappuccino maker
(g.7).
5. Wait for the OK light to come on (g. 8), then immediately
press the coee button (g. 7) and let about half the tank
discharge from the boiler outlet.
6. Then turn the steam dial anti-clockwise (g. 10) and dis-
charge all the water remaining in the tank from the cap-
puccino maker.
7. Close the steam valve and to interrupt delivery of hot
water, press the coee button again.
8. Empty the two containers and replace them under the
boiler outlet and the cappuccino maker and repeat points
5-6-7.
The appliance is ready for use.
Auto-o
If the appliance is not used for a certain period of time (which
varies according to the model), it turns o automatically (the
power light turns o).
Tips for a hotter coee
To make espresso coee at the right temperature, the coee
maker should be preheated as follows:
1. Turn the appliance on by pressing the ON/OFF button (the
ON/OFF light comes on) (g. 4) and attach the lter holder
to the appliance without adding pre-ground coee (g. 6).
2. Place a cup under the lter holder. Use the same cup as will
be used to prepare the coee in order to preheat it.
3. Wait for the OK light to come on (g. 8), then immediately
press the coee dial (g. 9). Allow the water to ow out
until the OK light goes out, then interrupt delivery by
pressing the coee button again.
4. Empty the cup. Wait until the OK light comes on again then
repeat the same operation.
(It is normal for a small and harmless pu of steam to be given
o when removing the lter holder).
HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING PRE
GROUND COFFEE
1. Place the ground coee lter in the lter holder (g. 5). To
make one coee, use the lter with the
symbol
on the bottom, to make two coees, use the lter with the
symbol on the bottom.
2. To make just one coee, place one level measure of pre-
ground coee (about 7 g) in the lter (g. 10). To make two
coees, place two loosely lled measures (about 7+7 g) of
pre-ground coee in the lter. Fill the lter a little at a time
to prevent the pre-ground coee from overowing.
Important: for correct operation, before lling with pre-ground coee,
make sure there are no coee residues left in the lter from the last time you made
coee.
3. Distribute the pre-ground coee evenly and press lightly
with the presser (g. 11). Correct pressing of the pre-
