General operating indications

DESCALING SIGNAL:

• When warning light D blink YELLOW every 5 seconds, a descending cycle should be carried out (see ch. Descaling).

HEATING:

• Warning lights A-B-C-D blink simultaneously.

WHEN THE WATER RUNS OUT DURING OPERATION:

• The water tank is empty when indicator light D blinks RED and the appliance emits 3 beeps followed by a single intermittent beep.
• Fill the water tank with fresh, still water (Fig. 4).
  Press button E. Wait for the machine to complete the priming cycle and fill with water.
• When warning light D and the light selected by the knob (A,B or C) are lit steadily, the machine is ready to use.

IF THE LEVER IS RAISED WHILE DISPENSING:

• Raising the lever while dispensing a product (Fig. 1) may cause splashes of hot water. Danger of scalding!
• Warning light D blinks RED. The appliance will immediately stop dispensing.
• Close the lever (Fig. 3).
• Press button E to reset the alarm.
  The appliance is ready for use again.

Adjusting the cup/espresso cup height

• The machine can be adjusted for the use of large cups or espresso cups.
• The machine is initially set for the use of large cups (Fig. 7).
• For the best possible results when using espresso cups, raise the drip tray, expand the bottom part and fix it in place by turning it clockwise (Fig. 10).
• Reposition the drip tray and start using the espresso cups (Fig. 8).

Correct use of the knob

To dispense "Espresso" or "Caffè crema", before pressing button E, turn the knob so that it is aligned with warning light A or B (1st and 2nd from the left respectively, lit in WHITE). The selected warning light comes on and the machine beeps. This procedure also applies when using orzo, ginseng and cocoa capsules or dispensing milk.

In "Filter coffee" or "Americano" mode, before pressing button E, turn the knob so that it is aligned with warning light C (3rd from the left, lit in BLUE). The blue warning light comes on and the machine beeps. This setting also applies when using tea, chamomile or infusion capsules.

Do not select warning light C when dispensing espresso or any other coffee with an intense flavour. In this function the machine is set for low pressure and this reduces the "crema", diminishes the flavour of the coffee, and could cause a break in the flow.

NOTE: Traces of the beverage just dispensed may remain in the circuit of the machine. To retain maximum beverage flavour, when dispensing milk, hot chocolate or instant drinks, rinse it briefly. Rinsing is carried out by pressing button E without inserting a capsule.

We would advise you to carry out this procedure at least once a week in any case.

Dispensing coffee

• Raise the lever to open the capsule compartment (Fig. 1).
• Insert the capsule, pressing it gently into place (Fig. 2).
• Close the lever fully (Fig. 3).
• Place a cup or espresso cup under the coffee dispensing spout (Fig. 7 or 8).
• Turn the knob so it is aligned with warning light A or B, depending on the desired coffee beverage.
• The selected warning light (A or B) comes on and the machine beeps.
• Press and release button E. The machine beeps.
  The selected warning light (A or B) flashes, while warning light D remains lit steadily. Dispensing stops when the programmed amount is reached.
• Raise the lever to eject the used capsule into the drawer (Fig. 1).
• Close the lever (Fig. 3).

NOTE: the quantities of coffee dispensed can be programmed according to personal taste and the size of the cups or espresso cups used.

To program the quantities, please refer to ch. "Programming the quantity of coffee in a cup".

Programming the quantity of coffee in a cup

• Raise the lever to open the capsule compartment (Fig. 1).
• Insert the capsule, pressing it gently into place (Fig. 2).
• Close the lever fully (Fig. 3).
• Place a cup or espresso cup under the dispensing spout (Fig. 7 or 8).
• Turn the knob so it is aligned with warning light A or B, depending on the desired coffee beverage.
• The selected warning light (A or B) comes on and the machine beeps.
  Press and hold button E.
  The selected warning light (A or B) flashes, while warning light D remains lit steadily.

• Remove the grid (Fig. 12). Empty the drip tray and rinse it out with water.
• Remove the water tank (Fig. 5); empty and rinse it.

NOTE: Traces of the product just dispensed may remain in the circuit of the machine. To retain maximum beverage flavour it is advisable - when dispensing milk, hot chocolate or instant drinks - to perform a short rinse. Rinsing is carried out by pressing button E without inserting a capsule.

We would advise you to carry out this procedure at least once a week in any case.

Use a soft cloth and a neutral detergent to clean the surfaces of the appliance. Do not use jets of water to clean the appliance.

The plastic parts of the machine, including the water tank, are NOT dishwasher safe.

Descaling

Descaling signal: when indicator light D blinks YELLOW every 5 seconds, a descaling cycle should be carried out, as illustrated below.

The warning light will only stop blinking yellow once the descending cycle is complete.

The machine features an advanced program that monitors how much water is used to dispense beverages. This monitoring process provides the user with indications as to when the machine needs to be descaled.

It is advisable to use the Caffitaly System descending agent, designed to comply with the technical characteristics of the machine, in full observance of consumer safety. The descending agent must be disposed of in compliance with manufacturer instructions and/or with current regulations in force in the country where the appliance is used.

CAREFULLY read the directions for use on the packaging of the descaling agent. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and machine surfaces. Switch the machine off during descaling, and do not lift the lever. A person must be present during the operation. Do not use vinegar: it could damage your machine!

• Switch the machine off by pressing the power on/off switch (Fig. 14).

• Empty and rinse out the used capsule drawer and drip tray (Fig. 6).

• Remove and empty the water tank (Fig. 5).

• Mix the contents of a bottle of Caffitaly System descaling agent with approximately 750 cc. of water (a total of 1 litre) and pour into the tank.

• Make sure that the lever is lowered (Fig. 3) and that there is no capsule inside the capsule compartment.

• Remove the drip-tray (Fig. 17).

• Place a container (at least 500ml ) under the dispenser (Fig. 18).

• Turn the knob all the way to the left (anticlockwise).

• Press button E and at the same time switch on the machine by pressing the power on/off switch.

• The machine beeps twice and warning light D comes on steadily in WHITE.

• Press button E to start the descending cycle.

• The machine dispenses the descending solution at intervals (5 doses with a 4-minute pause between each one, for a total duration of about 25 minutes). During this phase, when button E and the knob must not be touched, warning light D blinks in YELLOW and RED alternately.

If the container fi IIs up, empty it out.

• When the first phase is complete, the machine beeps and warning light D remains steadily lit in WHITE. The water tank is empty.

• Carefully rinse out the water tank and refill it with fresh water (Fig. 4).

• Empty and rinse the used capsule drawer, the drip tray and the container used and put them back in place.

• Press button E to start the rinse cycle.

• Rinse water (about 500ml ) will be run through the machine. During this phase warning light D blinks YELLOW and RED alternately.

• When the rinse cycle is complete, the machine beeps and warning lights A-B-C-D blink simultaneously; the machine is warming up.

• When warning lights A and D are lit steadily and the machine beeps twice, the appliance is ready to use.

• Carefully empty and rinse out the water tank and refill it with fresh, still water (Fig. 4).

• Empty and rinse out the used capsule drawer and drip tray (Fig. 6).
