2. PREPARINGTHE APPLIANCE

Wash al accessories with warm water and washing-up liquid, then proceed as follows:

1. Insert the drip tray (A19) complete with cup grille (A16)

and relative support (A17) (fig. 1);

2. Extractthe water tank (A7) (fig. 2) and fill with fresh clean

water, taking care not to exceed the MAX level (fig. 3).

3. Putthetankbackinthe appliance.

Important: Hever operate the aplianc without water in the tank or without the tank. Please note: Vu should ustomise water hardnes as soon as possible following the instructions in section 7. Settings menu”

3. SETTING UP THE APPLIANCE

2. Place a container with a minimum capacity of 100 ml under

the hot water spout (A11) (fig. 5);

3. Press the OK button (B6) (fig. 6). Delivery begins and stops

automatically. Empty the container. Before using the coffee maker, the internal circuits of the ma- chine must be rinsed. Proceed as follows:

4. Place the coffee filter (C3) or (C4) in the filter holder (C1)

5. Attachthe filter holder (C1) complete with filter to the appli-

ance. To attach correctly, align the filter holder handle with "INSERT" (fig. 7), then turn the handle to the right until it is aligned in the "CLOSE" position:

6. Place a container under the filter holder and steam wand

7. Press the OK button (B6). Delivery begins;

When delivery has fnished, press the steam button (B9) (fig. 8) and deliver steam for à few seconds to rinse the steam circuit. For best results, repeat 3 or 4 times. The pur- pose ofthis procedure is to purge any water from the circuit before using steam to prepare a beverage. The appliance is ready for use. Please note: eakorecommendrinshgtheintemal cuits iftheapplanceis notused for along period The first time you use the appliance, you need to make 4-5 cups of coffee before the appliance starts to give satisfactory results. Pay particular attention to the quantity of pre-ground coffee

in the filter ((C3) or (C4)) (see instructions in section “4.1 Step 1 Grinding'). Proceed as described in section "The “perfect dose”.

Step 1-Grinding Put coffee beans in the container (A3) (fig. 9). It is best to grind only a quantity of beans suffcient for immediate use, so that the coffee will always be fresh. The default grinding setting is 5 (medium ground). this is too fine or too coarse, adjust the level according to personal taste and the type of coffee used (adjust only when the cof- fee millis in operation (fig. 10). Please note: À grinding level between 3 and 6 is rec- ommended for most coffees. Grinding with 1 or 2 select- ed produes a very fine result. Use only with very spe- cial coffee (light roast) or when you notice non-optimal coffee quality due to wear of the burrs (grinding too coarse).

3. Place one ofthe coffee filters (C3) or (C4) in the filter holder

(C1). Press = (B5) to select preparation of 1 or 2 cups. This also doubles the quantity of espresso delivered. Set the quantity by adjusting the dial (B4), starting from the minimum position (fig. 11). The fist time you use it, leave the dial in the Min. position. In the beginning, i is normal to make a few attempts before find- ing the optimal setting. We suggest you start with the default values, then modify them if necessary following the suggestions in section "Adjusting the quantity of ground coffee in the filter”.

5. Attachthe dosing and tamping guide (C2) to the filter hold-

er: 1 press; 2 rotate to lock (fig. 12).

6. Insert the filter holder in the coffee mill outlet (A13) (fig.

7. Press the filter holder until you hear a “click” (fig. 14), then

release. Grinding starts and stops automatically. Please note: To manual} stop grinding, just press the filter holder again (until you hear a dich). Adjusting the quantity of ground coffee in the filter LIGHT Different varieties of coffee bean give different results when ground: consequently, the initial adjustment of the dosage re- quires special care. Thisillustration shows how to regulate the dosage, based on the roast colour: this should be taken as a general guide, given that in practice, the final adjustment can vary according to the com- position ofthe beans.

1. Setthe quantity (to the raised mark inside the coffee filter),

starting from the minimum position. The numbers on the dial are a hand reference to note down once the quantity in the filter is ideal. The numbers do not correspond to the coffee mill settings, measurement units (g/oz) or grinding time. Looking at the roast colour of your particular beans, tum the dial lowly to find the right adjustment. +2 Step 2-Tamping After grinding, remove the filter holder (fig. 15). Tap the dosing and tamping guide (C2) to level the ground coffee.

3. (Certain models only): rest the filter holder in the housing

5. Remove the dosing and tamping guide by tuning it anti-

dockwise and pulling upwards (fig. 18) and check that the quantity is correct (see “The “perfect dose”).

6. Attach the filter holder to the coffee outlet (A10) (fig. 19).

Please note: Cofee left on the edges ofthe filter afer pressing does not in any way compromise the quality of the brewing and therefore the endresu. The ‘perfect dose” + The perfect quantity correspond to the raised line inside the coffee fiers;

+ Make sure the coffee is at the right level after tamping. It might be necessary to adjustthe level a few times usingthe dial (4) before the ideal dosage is achieved. + Ifthe coffee is extracted too strongly or too weakly even at the ideal dosage, this can be corrected by grinding the beans more finely or more coarsely (see “4.1 Step 1 - Grinding'). To correct over-extraction (coffee released too slowly), select a coarser setting. To correct under-extraction (coffee released too quickly), select a finer setting. N 3 Step3-Brewing Select the temperature (fig. 20) (see “Coffee preparation temperature") Select the desired beverage (fig. 21). I the beverage has been programmed (see section “6. Programming beverage quantities"), the beverage light flashes briefly.

3. Press OK (86) to start brewing (fig. 22) (pre-infusion and

infusion). Delivery ofthe coffee will stop automatically. Coffee preparation temperature The water temperature is controlled during the entire prepa- ration process to ensure its stability during the extraction step. The Specalista Arte has 3 infusion temperatures* in à range between 92 and 96 °C. The temperature effectively utlied will depend typically on the variety of been and the roast: Robusta beans require a lower temperature, and Arabic beans à higher temperature. The same applies for dark roasted beans or for light roasted beans, respectively. Temperature level | Corresponding | Roast colour indicator light MIN Dark — L' MED Medium-dark — h- MAX — Light - medium — h-

• This is the temperature of the water in the thermoblock. Itis therefore not the temperature of the beverage in the cup or the temperature of the beverage at the moment of release from the outlets ofthe filter holder.

5. MAKING MILK BEVERAGES

5.1 Frothingthe milk

1. Fill the jug (C8) with the amount of milk to be warmed/

frothed, bearing in mind that the milk doubles or triples in volume (fig. 23). For a denser and more evenly distributed froth, best results will be achieved using whole cow's milk atrefrigerator temperature (about 5 °C). my Latte Art t@©-

2. Place the jug under the steam wand and press the steam

button (B9) (fig. 24).

3. Tofroth the milk, rest the steam wand (A9) on the surface

ofthe liquid. This mixes air with the milk and steam. Keep the steam wand in contact with the surface, taking care not to let in too much air and create excessively large bubbles Immerse the steam wand below the surface of the milk, this creates a vortex in the liquid. Once the milk is heated to the desired temperature, press the steam button again and wait for the flow of steam to stop completely before removing the milk jug from the machine. Baristatips: + Fresh milk is best, Always use fresh milk straight from the fridge. + For best results, always replace the milk jug in the fridge when not in use. + Whole milk ensures optimum results. The appearance and texture of froth depending on the nature of the dairy milk or vegetable beverages utilized. + After fothing the milk, eliminate unwanted bubbles by suirling the jug gentiy. Cleaning the steam wand

1. Followinguse, always wipethe steam wand (fig. 25) with a

Efficient grinding The burrs are subject to wear over time. Às time goes by, to achieve the perfect quantity, you need to tum the dial (B4) towards the highest numbers. When you reach a setting of be- tween 30 and 40, you need to set the extra grinding range (see

section 7. Settings menu" -"Extra grinding range”).

When the quantity of ground coffee becomes less than expect- ed, contact a service centre to have the burrs replaced. With the new burs itted, adjust the coffee mil by accessing the settings menu and selecting the frst range of the “extra grinding adjust- ment"setting. Next, turn the ground coffee quantity dial (B4) to the Min position and set the quantity as for first-time use (see La"dose perfetta”’)

The descale light JE] (83) comes on following a predetermined period of operation that depends on a water hardness setting. The machine can also be programmed according to the actual hardness of the local water supply, in which case descaling may be required less frequently (see section ‘7. Settings menu’)
