23 2 SAFETY WARNINGS 3 INSTALLATION CAREFULLY READ AND KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS! • After unpacking, make sure the appliance is complete and undamaged. If in doubt, do not use it. Contact professionally qualified personnel. • Packing elements (plastic bags, polystyrene etc) must not be left within reach of children as they may represent a hazard. • Place the appliance on a work surface far away from water taps, basins and sources of heat.
PAGE 4
24 To correctly learn how to use the machine, when starting it for the first time, carefully follow the step-by-step instructions described in the following paragraphs. 4 PREPARING THE COFFEE MAKER 4.1 FILLING THE WATER TANK • Remove the water tank (Fig.1), rinse it and fill it with fresh water, without exceeding the MAX line. When removing the tank, the milk frother must always be positioned towards the centre of the machine, otherwise the tank cannot be removed.
PAGE 5
25 5 PREPARING THE COFFEE (USING COFFEE BEANS) 1) Before delivering the coffee, always make sure that the green and lights are on steady, that the water tank and the coffee bean container are full. 2) Adjust the right-hand knob (Fig. 7) to set the desired taste of the coffee. Turning the knob clockwise increases the quantity of coffee beans that the machine will grind, and thus makes the taste of the coffee stronger.
PAGE 6
26 Then let the water flow out into the drip tray underneath, or alternatively use this water to fill (and then empty) the cup to be used for the coffee, so as to pre-heat it. 2) Unless preheated, do not use cups that are too thick, as they will absorb too much heat. 3) Use cups that have been previously heated by rinsing them with hot water or alternatively by leaving them for at least 20 minutes on the cup warmer tray on top of the machine with the appliance on.
PAGE 7
27 GB When using the machine for the first time, 4-5 cups of coffee need to be made before the machine starts to give satisfying results. When an alarm light comes on to signal an anomaly, do not contact the service centre straight away. The problems can almost always be resolved by following the instructions indicated in paragraphs 12 and 13. If necessary, contact the customer service by calling the number listed on the sheet enclosed on page 2.

28 7 PREPARING ESPRESSO COFFEE WITH GROUND COFFEE (INSTEAD OF BEANS) 1. Press the button to select the ground coffee function (Fig. 18). The light inside the button switches on to indicate that the function has been selected and the coffee grinder has been disabled. 2. Lift the lid in the centre, insert the pre-ground coffee measure in the funnel (see fig. 19) and proceed as described in paragraph 5. NB: You can make just one coffee at a time by pressing the button.

29 9 PREPARING CAPPUCCINOS (USING STEAM) • Fill a container with around 100 grams of milk for each cappuccino being prepared. When choosing the size of the container, remember that the volume will increase by 2 or 3 times. It is recommended to use partially skimmed milk at fridge temperature. • Move the milk frother towards the outside (Fig. 3). • Prepare the espresso coffee as described in the previous paragraph, using sufficiently large cups. • Then press the steam button (Fig. 21). The light (Fig.

IMPORTANT: For reasons of hygiene, this operation should always be performed, so as to prevent the milk from remaining in the circuits inside the milk frother. Turn the knob clockwise as far as it will go. With one hand, hold the cappuccino tube firm and with the other unscrew the cappuccino maker itself by rotating clockwise and extracting downwards (fig. 25).

31 10.2 CLEANING THE INFUSER The infuser must be cleaned regularly to prevent it from filling with coffee deposits (that may lead to malfunctions). To clean it, proceed as follows: • turn the machine off by pressing the button (Fig. 4) (do not unplug it) and wait for all the indicator lights to go off; • open the service door (Fig. 15); • remove the drip tray and the grounds container (Fig. 16) and clean them; • press the two red release buttons on the infuser sideways and towards the centre (Fig.
PAGE 12
32 Check that the two red buttons have opened back out, otherwise the door cannot close. The two red buttons have opened out CORRECTLY The two red buttons have not opened out CORRECT INCORRECT NOTE 1: If the infuser is not inserted correctly until hearing the click and the two red buttons have not opened out properly, the service door will not close and the machine will not operate (when switching on the machine the light starts flashing (chap. 12 point 9)).
PAGE 13
33 • after around 30 minutes, when the light comes on (chap. 12 point 1), turn the steam knob half a turn clockwise (Fig.6) until it stops. The machine must be rinsed so as to eliminate the residues of descaling solution from inside the machine. Proceed as follows: • remove the water tank, rinse it and fill it with clean water. • reposition the tank. • empty the collection container (located under the milk frother) that is full of liquid, and then replace it under the milk frother.
