1.3 Introduction

This espresso machine will make delicious cups of coffee, espresso and cappuccino. You can customise the settings of the machine to suit your personal preferences and tastes.

This manual describes how to make optimum use of the espresso machine. Besides information on how to operate the machine, you will also find background information that may come in handy when using this appliance.

Coffee has been used in the factory to test the appliance and it is therefore completely normal that there are traces of coffee in the mill. This appliance is however guaranteed to be new.

Store the user manual in a safe place. This will ensure that any subsequent users also benefit from it.

Enjoy your espresso machine!

3.1 Preparation Using for the first time

The first time you switch on the appliance and every time that it is plugged in, the appliance makes a SELF-DIAGNOSIS operation when you press the main ON/OFF switch (see A on page 106). Then the appliance switches off. To turn it on, press the on/off button on the control panel.

1. The first time you use the appliance, select the language. Press the main ON/OFF switch on the right side of the appliance (see A on page 106); the lights on the front side and the display go on. Wait for the appliance to display PRESS OK TO INSTALL ENGLISH. Press the OK button for at least 3 seconds until the appliance displays ENGLISH INSTALLED. The appliance then displays the setting message in English.

2. After a few seconds, the appliance displays FILL TANK. To fill, remove the tank (fi g. 1), rinse and fill with fresh water. Never exceed the MAX line. (When removing the tank, the cappuccino maker must always be positioned outwards (fi g. 2, position 1), otherwise the tank cannot be removed). Put the tank back and push as far as it will go. Move the cappuccino maker towards the centre of the appliance and place a cup underneath it (fi g. 2, position 3).

Only fi ll the water tank with cold water. Never fi ll it with other liquids such as mineral water or milk.

To ensure good, aromatic coffee at all times, you should: - change the water in the water tank every day; clean the water tank with normal water for rinsing (not in the dishwasher) at least once a week. Then rinse off with fresh water.

3 Use

1. The appliance now displays PRESS OK. Press the OK button. After a few seconds, a little water runs out of the cappuccino maker. When the cup contains about 30cc of water, the water stops delivering.
2. The appliance now displays TURNING OFF PLEASE WAIT and it goes off.
3. Extract the appliance by pulling it outwards taking care to use the special handles, open the left lid and fill the container with coffee beans (fi g. 3), then close the lid and push inwards the appliance.

To prevent malfunction, never fi ll with ground coffee, freeze dried coffee, caramelised beans or anything else which could damage the appliance.

1. Press the on/off button ① . The appliance displays HEATING UP PLEASE WAIT... to indicate that preheating is underway.

2. When preheating is complete, the appliance displays: RINSING and performs an automatic rinse cycle (a little hot water runs out of the spouts and is collected in the drip tray beneath).

If you want to make a short coffee (less than 60 cc), to make it hotter, fi ll the cup with this hot rinsing water fi rst. You can also use the button (see paragraph 3.2.2 on page 114, 'Tips to make hotter coffee').

1. The appliance now displays the ready message READY STANDARD TASTE.

When using the appliance for the first time, 4-5 cups of coffee need to be made before the appliance starts to give satisfying results.

3.2 Operation

3.2.1 Preparing coffee (using coffeeseans)

1. The appliance is preset to make coffee with a normal taste. You can also choose coffee with an extra-mild mild, strong or extra-strong taste. To choose the required taste, press the button. The selected coffee taste will be displayed.

2. Place 1 cup under the spouts to make 1 coffee (fi g. 4) or 2 cups for 2 coffees (fi g. 5).

By moving the dispenser up or down (fi g. 6), you can adjust the height of the dispenser to suit the height of your cup so as to reduce heat loss and coffee splashes.

For a creamier coffee, lower the spouts to bring them as close to the cups as possible (fi g. 6).

1. Press the button to make a short coffee, the button for a standard coffee and the button for a long coffee.

To make 2 coffees, press the button twice (within 3 seconds). To change the quantity of coffee delivered automatically into the cup, follow the instructions at paragraph 3.2.3 on page 116. (The appliance now grinds the beans and starts running off the

3 Use

coffee into the cup. Once the desired quantity has been reached, the appliance automatically stops delivering the coffee and ejects the grounds into the special container).

1. After a few seconds, the message that the machine is ready is displayed again and you can make another coffee.

2. To turn the appliance off, press the on/off button. Before going off, the appliance performs an automatic rinse cycle (a little hot water runs out from the spouts and is collected in the drip tray beneath). Take care to avoid scalds.

Once switched off, the lights don't shut off immediately and the cooling span motor operates to avoid condensation into the housing. After about 10 minutes, the appliance switches completely off.

3.2.2 Notes

• If the coffee is delivered a drop at a time or not at all, turn the grinding coarseness regulator (fig. 7) one click clockwise (see paragraph 3.2.4 on page 117, 'Regulating the coffee mill') Turn one click at a time until the coffee is delivered satisfactorily.
• If the coffee is delivered too fast and is not creamy enough, turn the grinding coarseness regulator (fi g. 7) one click anticlockwise (see paragraph 3.2.4 on page 117, 'Regulating the coffee mill'). Avoid turning the grinding coarseness regulator excessively, otherwise the coffee may run out in drips when you select 2 cups.

• Tips to make hotter coffee

If 2/3 minutes have passed, since you last made coffee, before making coffee again you must preheat the infuser by pressing the button Run off the water into the underlying drip tray or alternatively use this water to fill (and then empty) the cup to be used for the coffee, so as to preheat it.

3 Use

Unless preheated, do not use cups that are too thick, as they will absorb too much heat.
Use cups that have been preheated by rinsing them with hot water. You can use the button

While the appliance is making the coffee, delivery can be stopped at any time by pressing the button as previously selected.
- As soon as the delivery is complete, to increase the quantity of coffee, simply press and hold the button, or as previously selected, until the desired quantity is reached (this operation must be performed within 3 seconds from when the coffee delivery from the spouts ceases).
- When the appliance displays FILL TANK the water tank must be refilled or the appliance will not make coffee. (It is normal for there to be a little water left in the tank when the message is displayed).

• The appliance counts the number of coffees made. Every 14 single coffees (or 7 doubles) the appliance displays EMPTY GROUNDSC CONTAINER, indicating that the grounds container is full and must be emptied and cleaned. Until the grounds container has been cleaned, the appliance continues to display the message and cannot make coffee. To clean, open the service door at the front by pulling the coffee spout (fi g. 8), remove the drip tray (fi g. 9), empty and clean.

3 Use

When proceeding, always completely extract the drip tray, to avoid that it falls when removing the grounds container (fi g. 10). Empty the grounds container and clean thoroughly, making sure all residues deposited on the bottom are removed.

When removing the drip tray, the grounds container must be emptied, even if it is not completely full. If this is not done, when next making coffee the grounds in the container may exceed the maximum level and block the appliance.

While the appliance is running off coffee, never remove the water tank. If it is removed, the appliance will not be able to make the coffee. If the appliance malfunctions, do not contact the service centre straight away. The problem can almost always be resolved by following the instructions indicated on pages 130 until 134. If this is not the case, or for further explanations, contact the customer service.

3.2.3 Changing the quantity of coffee in the cup

The appliance is factory preset to automatically deliver the following quantities of coffee:

• Short (when the button pressed);
• Standard (when the button pressed);
• Long (when the button is pressed);

To change these quantities, proceed as follows:

1. Press the button corresponding to the quantity you want to change, for at least 8 seconds until the message PROGRAM QUANTITY is displayed.
2. When the coffee in the cup reaches the required level, press the same button again to memorise the new amount.

3.2.4 Regulating the coffee mill

However, after making the first coffees, if you find that the coffee delivery is either too fast or too slow (in drips), the grinding coarseness regulator can be adjusted (fi g. 11).

The grinding coarseness regulator must only be turned when the coffee mill is on.

Turning it 1 click (1 number) clockwise speeds up the coffee delivery (without drips). Turning it 1 click anticlockwise slows down the delivery, giving a creamier appearance to the coffee.

These adjustments will only be evident after at least 2 cups of coffee have been run off.

• Turn anticlockwise to obtain finer ground coffee, slower delivery and a creamier appearance.
• Turn clockwise for coarser ground coffee and faster delivery (not a drop at a time).

3.2.5 Preparing espresso coffee using ground coffee (instead of beans)

1. Press the button to select the ground coffee function. This disables the coffee mill function. The appliance displays READY PRE-GROUND.
2. Extract the appliance by pulling it outwards taking care to use the special handles (fi g. 12).

1. Lift the central lid and place one or two levels measure of ground coffee in the funnel (see fi g. 13). Close the lid, push the appliance to replace it and proceed as described in paragraph 3.2.1 on page 113 ('Preparing coffee').

3.2.6 Notes

• You can make just one or two coffees at a time by pressing the button , or only once or twice (within 3 seconds).
• Never add the ground coffee when the appliance is off to avoid it being dispersed inside the appliance.
• Never add more than two levels measured scoop, otherwise either the appliance will not make the coffee, the ground coffee will be lost inside the appliance, dirtying it, or the coffee will run off in drips and the message GROUND TOO FINE ADJUST MILL AND PRESS OK will be displayed. A little water comes out from the steam spout.
• When dosing the quantity of coffee to be added, use the measure supplied only.

• Use ground coffee for espresso coffee makers only. Do not use coffee beans, freeze-dried coffee or other materials that could damage the appliance.

• If the funnel blocks due to moisture inside the appliance or if more than two measuring scoops of pre-ground coffee has been used, use a knife to push the coffee down (fig. 14). Then remove and clean the infuser and appliance as described in paragraph 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 on pages 122, 123 and 124.

3 Use

Once the coffee has been delivered, to go back to making coffee using beans, deactivate the ground coffee function by pressing the button again (the coffee mill is enabled for operation again).

3.2.7 Hot water delivery
