OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Operation
- Turn on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button.
The machine cleans the water circuit when it is turned on for the first time and after having been turned off for a while.
Place an empty container underneath the adjustable coffee spout before turning the machine on or off.
Warning: If water circulation is difficult for any reason, press and hold the hot water button until a continuous flow of water comes out of the coffee outlet.
Option to deactivate automatic cleaning:
You may choose to do manual cleaning (see MANUAL CLEANING). If you find the automatic cleaning option to be bothersome, you may deactivate this function as follows:
- Open and remove the service door.
- Press and hold the ON/OFF button for a few seconds until you hear 2 beeps. This indicates that the automatic cleaning function has been deactivated.
To reactivate it, repeat the procedure until you hear 2 beeps.
The appliance will enter STANDBY mode.
- Place a mug under the coffee spout and adjust the height of the spout so that the mug fits. Depending on the size of the mug (too high or too wide), you may remove the external drip tray.
- Press the desired coffee button. The pressed coffee button will light up and remain lit to indicate that the machine is preparing the cup of coffee.
While the coffee is being prepared, the mug illumination light turns on. - When the appliance returns to STANDBY mode, the coffee is ready to be served.
NOTE - The coffee buttons can be adjusted (see the “OTHER SETTINGS” section - adjusting the volume of coffee/hot water).
Press the hot water button (see the “Hot water” section below) to clean the interior of the coffee machine before first use.
Filling the water tank
When the low water level icon flashes, it means that the water tank is low on water and needs to be filled.
- Lift up the water tank using the lid as a handle.
- Rinse the water tank with clean water, fill it to the maximum fill line and return it to place in the machine. Ensure that it is well placed.
Note: to prevent water overflow from the water tank, do not add water directly to the tank while placed in the machine.
WARNING: Never fill the water tank with warm water, hot water, sparkling water or any other type of liquid that could damage the tank and the machine.
Filling the coffee bean container
When the coffee bean indicator symbol flashes, the machine needs to be refilled with coffee beans.
- Remove the lid of the coffee bean container.
- Slowly pour in coffee beans.
- Replace the lid on the container.
WARNING - Only use roasted coffee beans. Do not use caramelized/torrefacto coffee, ground coffee, instant coffee, or any other type of coffee as it may damage the machine.
Hot water
- Place the mug/recipient under the coffee spout.
- Press the hot water button.
The hot water button and the mug illumination will light up to indicate that the appliance is heating the water and dispensing it.
This process may be interrupted at any time by pressing the hot water button.
Favorite setting function - MyCoffee
The favorite setting function - MyCoffee may be used to memorize an additional selection of how much coffee (espresso, long and americano) to dispense, but for just one of these selections.
Adjusting the favorite setting function - MyCoffee
- Press and hold the favorite setting button for 2 seconds; the coffee buttons will start flashing.
- Press either button to memorize the desired volume. When a coffee button is pressed, the light of the selected button will become steady and the selection will begin dispensing. Immediately press and hold the button to continue dispensation. Dispensation will stop when the button is released, and the amount will be memorized.
ATTENTION: In case the symbol lights up, never remove the coffee grounds container to empty it while the machine is in operation. This can happen if the water runs out while coffee is being dispensed.
- Refill the water tank to automatically complete the cycle.
Never force the removal of the internal drip tray and the coffee grounds container, as this can damage the machine. The machine will not work because it will not detect the internal drip tray.
MANUAL CLEANING
You may also complete a manual cleaning cycle to clean the coffee spout after use. We suggest performing a manual cleaning if the machine has not been used for a long period of time. How to do it:
- In STANDBY mode, simultaneously press and hold the ON/OFF button and the hot water button; an alert will sound.
The hot watter button will flash until the rinse process is complete.
Danger: the water leaving the hot water spout is hot and is collected in the external drip tray below. Avoid contact with stray water droplets.
After this manual cleaning, the appliance returns to STANDBY mode.
AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF
The machine comes equipped with an automatic shut-off function. Depending on the mode selected, the machine takes different lengths of time to shut off automatically. (See the “OTHER SETTINGS – Mode selection” section).
DAILY CLEANING
The timely cleaning and maintenance of the machine are very important to extending its working life.
Do not begin any cleaning or maintenance procedure with the machine switched on.
- If the machine is turned on, turn it off by pressing the ON/OFF button for a few seconds.
- Remove the external drip tray.
- Empty the water in the tray into the sink and wash it with cold water. Dry it immediately.
- Remove the internal drip tray and the coffee grounds container.
- Empty the coffee grounds container. Wash the internal drip tray and the coffee grounds container with cold water. Dry them immediately.
- Place the coffee grounds container in the internal drip tray, immediately returning them to their original position.
Cleaning the brewing group
- Push the service door from the bottom.
- Remove the service door.
- Press the (orange) buttons to eject the brewing group.
- Remove the brewing group.
- Wash the brewing group in running water. Immediately dry it very well.
- Clean the brewing group compartment.
- Return the brewing group to its original position, followed by the service door.
Notes:
When the brewing group symbol light is:
- Steady, the brewing group is missing or incorrectly positioned.
- Flashing, the service door is missing or incorrectly positioned.
When the coffee grounds container symbol is flashing, the coffee grounds container is missing.
- Place the coffee grounds container in the internal drip tray, immediately returning them to their original position.
OTHER SETTINGS
Adjusting the volume of coffee/hot water (espresso, long, americano and hot water buttons)
The machine can memorize the desired volume of coffee, as well as hot water, between 25 mL (0.85 oz.) to 250 mL (8.5 oz.).
When preparing the coffee/water, press, release, and immediately press and hold the corresponding button. The machine will continue filling the mug.
- When the volume reaches the desired level, release the button. Two beeps will sound, indicating that the amount has been memorized.
Adjusting the grinder
The grinder can be adjusted to suit the roast of your coffee by turning the grinder adjustment knob, located on the coffee bean container.
- To adjust the grind, turn the knob ONLY when the grinder is grinding coffee. The dots on the adjustment knob indicate in which direction to rotate for a finer or coarser grind.
ATTENTION: Never adjust the grinder when not in operation. This can damage the grinder.
Mode selection
In addition to its default settings, the machine has two different settings: ECO mode and quick mode. In ECO mode, the machine helps conserve energy. In quick mode, the user can make their coffee more quickly than when using the default settings. The table below shows which functions are active for each mode.
| Default mode | ECO mode | Quick mode | |
| Coffee spout illumination | Yes | No | Yes |
| Pre-brewing* | Yes | Yes | No |
| Automatic shut off | 20 minutes | 10 minutes | 30 minutes |
| Memorized volume per mug | Yes | Yes | Yes |
\* What is pre-brewing?
When the pump begins working, there is a short pause. During that pause, the ground coffee in the brewing group is moistened with a small amount of water before complete extraction. This process expands the ground coffee inside the brewing group, which increases water retention and pressure to help extract all of the oils and flavor from the ground beans.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Automatic cleaning/descaling
When the descaling indicator symbol is lit, this means that automatic cleaning should be performed. The machine will remain in top condition if this function is performed at least once per month, or more frequently, depending on the hardness of the water used.
IMPORTANT: The complete descaling process will take approximately 30 minutes. For your safety, do not turn off the machine during the process. If the descaling process is interrupted, it should be restarted from the beginning.
- Completely fill the water tank.
- Add the contents of the descaling packet included in the box to the water tank.
IMPORTANT: Do not use vinegar or any other cleaning agent to perform automatic cleaning of this appliance. Cleaning agents
may damage the machine.
- If the machine is not in STANDBY mode, turn it on using the ON/OFF button.
- Place a sufficiently large recipient under the coffee spout.
- Simultaneously press and hold the ON/OFF button and the espresso coffee button for 5 seconds. You will hear a beep; the espresso coffee button and the descaling indicator symbol will flash.
- Press the espresso coffee button to confirm the start of the cleaning process.
- The descaling indicator symbol will continue flashing, indicating that the appliance is performing the automatic cleaning process.
Attention: keep your body/skin away from the hot water.
- When all the water in the tank has been used, the low water level indicator symbol and the espresso coffee button will flash.
- Carefully discard any remaining solution from the water tank, wash it and fill it with clean water until the MAX fill line. After the water tank is filled and returned to place, the low water level indicator symbol will turn off. The low water level indicator symbol and the espresso coffee button will stop flashing.
The machine will continue with the descaling process; it will first use half of the water in the tank, then, after a pause of around 1 minute, the process will continue until the rest of the water from the tank has been used.
- When the automatic cleaning process has finished, the appliance will automatically shut off.
Note: to make sure that the descaling process is complete, be patient during the
process and check that the appliance turns off automatically.
