Start-up

1. Check the electrical voltage is the same as the voltage displayed on the machine specifications label.
2. Fill the reservoir with fresh water. (see picture 1) Check the water intake tube is immersed in the reservoir. The use of low mineral water is recommended. Water quality affects the taste and quality of the coffee, in addition to preventing future breakdowns. Consult us about our filters (descoating treatment)-optional.
3. Plug it into the mains.

Important:

MOBILE FILTER HOLDER SYSTEM A) The machine is being used for the first time or has not been used for some time.

Change the water in the boiler and circuit.
1.-Connect the coffee machine with switch 0/1

2.-Put the filter holder ⑦ without coffee into position and a recipient below.

3.-Switch on the coffee switch ② and run approximately half a reservoir capacity of water through it. Careful: Check that the reservoir has enough water. If the coffee machine is used without water, pump resistance may be damaged.

B) PRIMING

• If coffee does not emerge, when the machine has not been used for some time.
  • After producing steam
• If there is no water in the reservoir, the following procedure should be performed:

1-Turn on the steam tap ④ with the coffee machine switched on.

6 to go on again and either to switch off or to perform priming.

FIXED FILTER HOLDER SYSTEM

Step A is unnecessary. Step B and C are necessaries.

4-. Preparation of coffee Please check your system:

(ground, versatile, pod)

Ground

(Only ground system)

Any type of coffee may be used. For optimum results, we recommend using special 'espresso' coffee blends as they

provide a suitable grind. If the coffee comes out either very quickly or very slowly, the type of coffee should be changed for another liner or thicker grind and tamping of the coffee should be varied according to our recommendations.

1. Switch on the machine using the main switch 0/1 ① and place the litterholder (with the filter) into the group. In Dream boiler model, orienting discharge tube ⑰ toward the interior of the tray ⑪
2. Wall for the pilos light: ⑥ to switch off (approx. 1.5 minutes). This means the coffee machine has reached the ideal temperature. Press coffee switch ⑦ and let water min out. For this before making the coffee. This will remove residues and balance the temperature to create optimum working conditions.
   3-Fill the coffee filter basket (1 or two coffees according to requirements). Three-quarter size. The filter must be filled to 3/4 of its capacity, once pressed. (see picture 2A)

1. Clean off the remains of coffee that have been deposited on the edges of the filter basket so that it fits perfectly.
   5- Place the filter holder ⑦ into the group ⑧ starting from the left and turning towards the right with enough pressure at the end. (see picture 3) 6- Put the cuts or gups on the grills and
   switch on the coffee switch 2. 7.-When the coffee has finished being

ENGLISH

ascaso

For obtaining micro-foam, you should maintain the absorption hole in the same position.

Important

We recommend running steam through the wand for a few seconds (6") after each use to clean and prevent clogging.

To clean the absorption holes (A and B), you can use a toothpick or a paperclip. This will ensure the tube is free of blockages. Hole R always on the top (see picture 7)

After steaming milk, the steam has to be purged before brewing (picture 2B)

General warning: Cleaning and maintenance should be done when the appliance is cold and disconnected from the means. Do not immerse the appliance in water. It should not be cleaned in a dishwasher.

1. Cleaning the outside: To clean the outside of the machine, use alcohol 96 ^2 or specific products for polished aluminium, if you have a colour dream for the painted parts, you can use a soft

cloth, moistened with water.

Remove the tray regularly and clean it. If the machine is not to be used for some time, empty the water reservoir. Clean the steam tube with a damp cloth immediately after use. To clear the inside of the steam tube, allow the water to circulate. To clean the adsorption hole, you can use a toothpick or a papcrole. This will ensure the tube is free of blockages.

2-. Internal cleaning: To obtain top quality espresso coffee it is vital to clean the inner workings of the machine. To clean the interior of the distribution unit, use Acase Coffee Washer. This product is also useful to prevent limscalc buildup in the machine. Regular detailing will contribute to ensuring top quality coffee and it will prolong the useful life of the machine. Consult your distributor.

Coffee Washer use recommendations:

Coffee/day	Desarling
>10	every month
5-10	every 2 months
1-5	every 3 months

To avoid timescale buildup, you can also use water treatment filters. However, it is advisable to clean the machine in accordance with consumption. Using filters and Coffee Washer will help to maintain the coffee machine in optimum working condition for longer
