EN MAKING COFFEE The X7.1 is designed for use with Illy Iperespresso capsules only.

- Each capsule contains a single dose of coee.

Capsules should not be re-used.

- For safety reasons, the machine automatically

switches o the dispenser function after it has been

running for about a minute.

- Don't forget to empty and clean the drip tray

To prepare a coee, proceed as follows:

• Twist the capsule holder to the left and disengage it from the

• Insert the capsule as shown in the gure.

NOTE: the capsule should t snugly into the holder; if not,

remove it and re-insert it properly.

NOTE: After the brew button is pressed, it takes the ma-

chine a couple of seconds to start dispensing coee; this

slight delay is perfectly normal.

• Insert the capsule holder in the dispenser head ; twist the cap-

sule holder to the right until it locks in position.

• Press and release the brew button ; the machine dispenses

the desired amount of coee. To stop dispensing early, press the

To make another coee, replace the used capsule and repeat the

operation described above.31

EN PROGRAMMING THE MACHINE TO DISPENSE A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF COFFEE You can programme the X7.1 to dispense exactly the amount of coee you want: just press the brew button when the machine has dispensed the desired amount: the machine will memorize the amount

and stop dispensing. You can also manually programme the amount of coee you want the machine to dispense.

Programming a new ll level setting:

• Insert a capsule in the capsule holder and click it into place in the dispenser head.

• Place a coee cup below the capsule holder.

• Press and hold the brew button.

• Once the machine has dispensed the right amount of coee, release the button.

• The new setting has been stored in the machine's memory.

You can use the manual dispensing mode to adjust the amount of coee dispensed for each new cup without changing the stored

• Press and hold the brew button for 3 seconds. The machine dispenses coee.

• Once the machine has dispensed the amount of coee you want, press the button again to stop dispensing.

• The amount dispensed is not stored in the machine's memory.32

EN TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO The steam wand which comes with the machine allows you to froth milk for cappuccino.

Make one or more cups of coee, following the instructions above. To froth the milk:

• Allow the machine to cool down for a few minutes.

• Remove the tip Z and wash it under running water.

• Clean the internal nozzle X with a damp cloth.

NOTE: Both parts of the steam wand are dishwasher-safe.

Before placing them in a dishwasher, remove the inner

part of the metal tube. After cleaning, slide the inner

nozzle X onto the steam tube and push until it clicks into

place. Then t the outer tip Z back into place.

- The steam wand and the steam it dispenses can cause serious burns.

- When the steam function has been inactive for about 5 minutes, the machine

automatically returns to coee-maker mode; one minute before switching mode,

button begins to ash. Press this button to remain in steam mode.

- During the heating phase and once it's in steam mode, the machine brings the

thermoblock up to temperature. This may cause small amounts of steam to escape

from the capsule holder: to avoid the risk of scalding, keep the hands and other

parts of the body well away from the coee dispensing head.33

1. If the warning symbol on the outer dial starts ashing (once every 2 seconds), you need to descale your machine. This is a two-step process: rst, descaling (approx. duration 14

minutes), followed by rinsing (approx. duration 3 minutes).

2. Limescale accumulation is a normal result of machine use. The machine has an automatic program that helps optimize cleaning and removes scale deposits from the interior. Failure

to descale your machine may result in malfunctions that are not covered by the warranty.

3. For the descaling procedure, refer to that indicated in the corresponding chapter in this manual. Use only descaling products for coee machines, dissolved according to the proce-

dures indicated in the instructions for the product.

4. In the event of a power outage during the descaling procedure, the descaling cycle resumes at the point it was interrupted.

NOTE: make sure the inner nozzle and outer tip are tted

EN SUGGESTIONS For optimum espresso avour, don't forget to:

• change the water in the tank and empty the drip tray at least

• when possible, use soft (low calcium) water to prevent the build-

up of limescale in the machine;

• serve the coee in warm cups.
