FIELD OF APPLICATION/OF OPERATION

Use the appliance for domestic purposes only and in the way indicated in these instructions.
This appliance is intended to be used for domestic applications and similar applications such as:

Kitchen corners reserved for personnel in shops, offices and other professional environments.

Farms.

The use by clients of hotels, motels and other environments with a residential character.

Environments of the "bed and breakfast" type.

BEFORE USE

Check if all switches are in the OFF position.

We recommend to get used to all functions of your appliance before using it for the first time. Remove the lid of the water tank by lifting it up. Fill the water tank with cold water. Put the lid back onto the water tank.

Before the first use, in order to clean the inner side of the appliance circuit, you have to operate it three times reading the below-mentioned instructions (without coffee in the filter holder).

Clean the accessories thoroughly in hot soapy water, rinse and dry them carefully.

USE

Important: always check that there is enough water in the water tank during use.

• Check if all switches are in the OFF position and that the appliance is unplugged.
• Open the lid of the water tank (1) and fill it with cold water and make sure not to exceed the maximum indicated water level.
• Close the lid of the water tank.
• Plug in the appliance. The appliance is now ready for use.

PREPARING ESPRESSO COFFEE

Espresso is a strong coffee, with a characteristic taste, extremely rich in aroma. Therefore, the water which arrives in the filter with a high temperature is pushed very fast through the coffee mass by a strong pressure. It extracts the nectar from the grinding and draws the essential aromas from the coffee. That's why the espresso is usually served in small "espresso" cups. Use preferably a special espresso coffee with suitable roasting and grinding.

Remember that the espresso needs a finer grinding than the standard coffee.

• Place the small (11) or the large filter (12) or the pad filter (13) correctly in the filter holder.
• According to the required number of cups, fill the small or large filter with 1 or 2 measures of special espresso coffee powder using the measuring spoon (14) or put a coffee pad in the pad filter.
• Then press the coffee with the tamper (14).
• Insert the filter holder (3) in the support of the filter holder (15). Therefore, place the handle (6) of the filter holder to the left and check that the filter locking lever (16) is as far as possible from the filter by pulling it towards you. Insert the filter holder in its support and turn it firmly to the right until it blocks. The filter holder should be as far to the right of the closing zone as possible and at least in the middle of the appliance. This will avoid that the filter holder comes out of its housing as the pressure rises when the coffee is flowing. If the filter holder does not fit in the closing zone and at least in the middle of the appliance, do not

operate your appliance, remove the filter holder and position it again as described here above.

• Place one or two cup(s) on the grid of the drip tray (4) and under the dripping holes of the filter holder.
• Check that the function selector (9) is in the off position and place the ON/OFF switch (5) in the ON position. The red power light (2) of the switch will illuminate and indicate that the appliance is switched on.
  Wait until the blue ready light (8) lights up. When it comes on, turn the function selector (9)

to The pump will start functioning and a few seconds later the coffee will start coming out through the openings of the filter holder. At the beginning you can hear that the pump makes more noise than when the water starts flowing. This is absolutely normal.

• When the cup(s) is (are) filled, turn the function selector (9) back to "0" and the water will stop flowing.
  To prepare other espressos, empty the used coffee of the filter. Therefore you have to remove the filter holder by turning it to the left. CAUTION: Be careful when you remove the filter holder because the metal parts may still be hot. Never remove the filter holder when the function selector is not in "0" position. Put the filter locking lever (16) against the edge of the filter in order to block it and beat the filter holder above the bin. Rinse the accessories with clear water and fill the filter again with the desired amount of coffee.

• Proceed as described here above.

CAUTION:

If you have not used your appliance for a long time, it is necessary to make one or two brewing processes without coffee to rinse the inner parts of the appliance.

HOW TO PREPARE A CAPPUCCINO

First of all prepare a coffee as described here above letting enough place for the milk.

Caution: Before using the steam function, make sure the filter holder has been removed from its support.

In order to obtain a thick and creamy milk froth it is necessary to evacuate the remaining water in the hydraulic circuit of the appliance. To do so:

• Switch on the appliance. The red power light (2) will illuminate and indicate that the appliance is switched on.
• Fill the desired milk quantity into a heat-resistant container (it has to be large enough to avoid splashing, do not fill more than half of the receptacle) and place it under the steam pipe (7). Immerse the steam nozzle completely in the milk in order to reduce splashing.
  Wait until the blue ready light (8) lights up. When it comes on, turn the function selector (9)

to . The milk will start frothing, which means that the steam is coming out.

• When you obtain the required smoothness, turn the function selector (9) back to "0".
• Then pour the preparation into your cup.

Caution: the steam pipe should not touch the bottom of the container because it may bother the steam flood.

Clean the steam pipe after each use, especially when it has been immersed in milk. If you do not clean it, the inner side of the pipe can get blocked and it will be difficult to remove the milk residues around it. The plastic nozzle of the pipe can be removed for cleaning by simply pulling

it down. In case of obstruction of the pipe, use a needle to remove the milk residues. Just after having frothed up the milk, wipe the body of the pipe with a damp cloth.

CAUTION: PAY ATTENTION NOT TO GET BURNED WITH THE STEAM AND THE METAL PART OF THE PIPE (WHICH MAY BE HOT).

CLEANING

The body of the appliance: before cleaning the appliance, switch it off, remove the plug from the wall socket and wait until it has cooled down. Wipe the body of the appliance with a damp cloth. Never immerse the body of the appliance in water or any other liquid.

Filters: can be washed in the upper side of a dishwasher. If the holes are blocked by coffee residues, you can wipe them with a small non-metallic brush.

Support of the filter holder: the ground coffee residues can be removed with a toothpick.

Steam pipe for cappuccino: see paragraph "How to prepare a cappuccino".

Drip tray: when the drip tray is full, a small plastic part will come out indicating that you have to empty it. In order to clean the drip tray, remove the tray and the grid.

CAUTION: NEVER TRY TO OPEN OR TO DISASSEMBLE THE BODY OF THE APPLIANCE.

DESCALING

The espresso machine has to be descaled regularly. The frequency depends on the hardness of the water and on the frequency of use.

1. Remove the scale and the coffee residues from the filter grid and from the support of the filter holder. It is recommended to use only liquid descaling agent that can be found in shops and in the proportions indicated on the packing paper by the producer.
2. Place a container under the support of the filter holder (Caution: do not use the filter holder during the descending).
3. Press the ON switch, wait for the blue ready light to illuminate and turn the function

selector to

1. When the solution has finished flowing, turn the function selector to "0", switch off the appliance and let it cool down.
2. Repeat this operation a second time.

Then proceed in the same way but this time only with fresh water to rinse the inner side of the circuit. For a good rinsing, the equivalent of two espresso tanks has to pass through the circuit. Switch off the appliance and remove the plug from the power supply. Let it cool down.

Attention: never use vinegar as descending agent.

Some recognizable signs indicate that descending is necessary:

• Increase of the noise during boiling
• A longer time of decoction cycle

For a regular use, the descending has to be done in the following periodicity:

With little hard water, once a year
- With middle hard water, once a trimester
With hard water, once a month.
