Quick Start Guide

16
• Water penetrating the coee machine could cause
damage.
Do not place the appliance near taps or sinks.
• The appliance could be damaged if the water it contains
freezes.
Do not install the appliance in a room where the tempera-
ture could drop below freezing point.
• 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 appliance on the worktop, leave a
space of at least 3 cm between the surfaces of the appli-
ance and the side and rear walls and at least 15 cm above
the coee 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 eciently 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 qualied
electrician.
FILLING THE WATER TANK
1. Open the lid of the appliance (g. 1) then extract the tank
by pulling upwards (g. 2);
2. Fill the tank with fresh clean water, taking care not to ex-
ceed the MAX level (g. 3).
Put the tank back in the appliance, pressing lightly to open
the valves 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.
Check the level of water in the tank through the viewing win-
dow (A12).
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 coee lter in the lter holder (g. 5).
3. Attach the lter holder onto the machine without lling it
with ground coee (g. 6).
4. Place a 0.5 litre container under the boiler outlet and an-
other 0.5 litre container under the cappuccino maker.
5. Wait until the OK light comes on (g. 8) and immediately
afterwards turn the mode selector dial to the
position (g. 9) and deliver about half the tank through the
lter holder.
6. Then turn the steam dial to the
position (g. 10)
and deliver all the water remaining in the tank through the
cappuccino maker.
7. Turn the steam dial back to the 0 position and the mode
selector dial to the l position (STAND-BY).
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-o
If the appliance is not used for a certain period of time (variable
according to the model), it turns o automatically (the power
light goes out).
Tips for a hotter coee
To make espresso coee at the right temperature, the coee
maker should be preheated as follows:
1. Turn the appliance on by pressing the ON/OFF switch (the
ON light comes on) (g. 4) and attach the lter holder to
the appliance without adding pre-ground coee (g. 6).
2. Place a cup under the lter holder. Use the same cup as will
be used to prepare the coee in order to preheat it.
3. Wait until the OK light comes on (g. 8) and immediately
afterwards turn the selector dial to the
position
(g. 9) and let water discharge until the OK light turns o,
then interrupt by turning the dial to the I 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 pu of steam to be given
o when removing the lter holder).
Mugs or glasses tray (models ECP35.31 and
ECP33.21 only)
If you are using tall cups or glasses (for example, to make long
coee or macchiato),extract the drip tray and rest the cup di-
rectly on the mugs or glasses tray (A14 - g. 11).
Once you have made your coee, put the drip tray back in
position.
