2. PREPARING THE APPLIANCE

Wash all accessories with warm water and washing-up liquid, then proceed as follows:23

1. Insert the drip tray (A11) complete with cup grill (A9) and

drip tray grille (A10) (g. 1);

2. Extract the water tank (A15) (g. 2) and ll with fresh clean

water, taking care not to exceed the MAX level (g. 3).

3. Put the tank back in the appliance.

Important: Never operate the appliance without water in the tank or without the tank.Please note: You should customise water hardness as soon as possible following the instructions in section “7. Menu settings”.

3. SETTING UP THE APPLIANCE

1. Plug the power cord connector (C10) into the socket (A16)

at the back of the appliance (g. 4); then plug the plug into the mains socket. Make sure the main switch (A17), at the back of the appliance is pressed and in the I position (g. 5);

2. Place a container with a minimum capacity of 100 ml under

the hot water spout (A7)) and cappuccino maker (g. 6);

3. Press the button (B7) corresponding to the light (g.

7). Delivery begins and stops automatically. Empty the container. Before using the machine, you must rinse the internal circuits. Proceed as follows:

4. Attach the lter holder (C1) complete with lter to the appli-

ance. To attach correctly, align the lter holder handle with “INSERT” (g. 8), then turn the handle to the right until it is aligned in the “CLOSE” position;

5. Place a recipient under the lter holder and cappuccino

6. Press the button (B5) corresponding to the light. De-

livery begins (g. 9);

7. When delivery is complete, turn the steam dial (A4) (g.

10) and deliver steam for a few seconds to rinse the steam

circuit; or optimal steam performance we recommend you repeat this action 3 or 4 times. This is to purge the steam arm before frothing or steaming your milk.

The appliance is ready for use. Please note: We also recommend rinsing the internal circuits if the appliance is not used for a long period. The rst time you use the appliance, you need to make 4-5 cups of coee before the appliance starts to give satisfactory results. Pay particular attention to the quantity of pre-ground coee in the lter ((C2) or (C3)) (see instructions in section “4.1 Step 1 - grinding (g. 11)”). Proceed as described in section “The „perfect dose““.

1. Add beans to hopper (A1) (g. 12). Fresh is best; ll in just

with the quantity you need.

2. Select the ness (g. 13). The factory setting is 5 (medium

grinding). if you are not satised, adjust the level according to your personal taste and the type of coee (do it while grinding).

3. Select single (C2) or double dose lter (C3) and place in the

portalter (C1) (g. 14). If you are using the double lter, press the X2 button (B3): this will double the volume of the espresso shot as well. Please note: When preparing Espresso Cool, use the dedicated coee lters.

4. Set the dose level by adjusting the dial (B2) starting from

the min. position. (g. 15). Please note: The numbers displayed on the indica- tor (B19) are a setting reference once the right level of coee in the portal- ter is reached. They do not correspond to grinder settings or to measurement units (gr/oz) or to grinding time. Refer to “The „perfect dose““ for suggestions.

5. Attach portalter to the coee mill outlet (A18) aligning

it with “INSERT”: then turn the portalter to the right (g. 16). Grinding begins when the lter holder reaches the CLOSE position and stops automatically.

Extra grindingadjustment XLIGHT LIGHT MEDIUMMEDIUM DARK DARK XDARK24 Each variety of coee beans can behave dierently during grind- ing and this is the reason why setting the dose at the beginning might require extra care. With this illustration we give you some indications on how to regulate the dose. Please note these suggested setting ranges, based on the roasting level, are certainly a good starting point, but they might slightly vary depending on specic composition of your coee beans.

1. Set the dose starting from the minimum position.

2. Look at which roasting level your coee is and based on

that, turn the knob slowly, referencing the ranges.

4.3 Step 2 - tamping (g. 17)

1. After grinding, pull the lever (A20) down fully (do not re-

19). Once it is done, place back the lever in its original position.

  • A reference mark inside the coee lters identies the per- fect quantity. The “perfect dose” the perfect quantity corresponds to the line in relief.
  • Ensure the coee is at the recommended dosage level after tamping. You may need to adjust the dosage dial (B2) more times before reaching the perfect dose.
  • If your coee is over or under extracted and the dose is within the perfect dose range, adjust the grinder settings ner or coarser (see “4.1 Step 1 - grinding (g. 11)”). Over extracted coee (pouring too slowly) needs coarser grind. Under extracted coee (pouring too fast) needs ner grind.
  • Barista tip: Pull the lter holder out while the tamper (A20) is still down for polished nish of coee.

4.4 Rinse before brewing

When preparing a cold drink after an hot one or viceversa, the result in cup could not be at the ideal temperature. To avoid this, proceed as follows:

1. Select the beverage you want to prepare;

2. The OK lights up in the colour relative to the type of drink

to brew: white if hot drink is selected or blue if cold drink is selected;

2. Press OK (B6) to start brewing (g. 23) (preinfusion and

infusion). Coee delivery stops automatically.

4.6 Step 3 - brewing Cold Brew

1. Select Cold Brew (g. 22): the “OK” button turns blue to

highlight that a cold drink is selected.

2. Pour 1 or 2 ice cubes in the glass (g. 24).

3. Press the “OK” button to brew the drink. Delivery stops

automatically. Please note: As no pressure is produced to brew this beverage, the manometer will not turn to a higher position

4.7 Step 3 - brewing Espresso Cool

When preparing Espresso Cool, use the dedicated coee lters.

Then prepare the perfect dose as illustrated in”4.1 Step 1 - grinding (g. 11)” and “4.3 Step 2 - tamping (g. 17)”. Then proceed as follows:

1. Select Espresso Cool (g. 22): the “OK” button turns blue to

highlight that a cold drink is selected.

2. Pour 2 or 3 ice cubes in the glass (g. 25).

3. Press the “OK” button to brew the drink

1. Fill the milk jug (D8) with fresh cold milk. Milk will up to

triple in volume (g. 27). For a denser more even froth, you should ideally use whole cow’s milk at refrigerator temper- ature (about 5°C)

2. To make the froth, put the nozzle (A5) on the surface of the

milk and air will catch by the mixing of milk and steam.25

3. Keep the steam nozzle just on the surface, careful not to

make big bubbles by letting too much air in.

4. Insert the steam nozzle just under the milk: this create a

vortex. Once the desired temperature is reached turn the steam knob o and wait till steam stops completely before removing jug. Barista tips:

  • Fresh is best : Be sure to use fresh cold milk every time.
  • Whole milk is recommended for best results. Dairy and Non Dairy alternatives will vary in ease of texturing depending on type.
  • After foaming milk, eliminate unwanted bubbles by swirl- ing the pitcher. Cleaning the steam wand:

1. After every use, remove with a soft damp cloth any milk

residues from the steam wand (g. 28). For perfect clean- ing, we recommend Eco MultiClean: it ensures hygiene by removing milk proteins and fats and can be used to clean the whole machine.

2. Use the steam for a deeper cleaning (g. 10).

3. Wait that the steam wand cool down and open the 3 holes

of the nozzle with the Cleaning tool (C14) to maintain the better usability of the steam wand (g. 29).

5.2 Making milk drinks with LatteCrema System

1. Fill the milk container (D8) with fresh cold milk from the

3. Turn the knob (D5) to select the desired froth:

5. Prepare the perfect dose (see “4.1 Step 1 - grinding (g.

  • Double dose milk drinks (2x): Fill the milk container (D8) with a sucient quantity of milk, not exceeding the MAX level marked on the container (g. 31). Each mark on the side of the container corresponds to about 100 ml of milk.
  • Fresh is best. Using fresh cold full cream milk will achieve the best results.

7. Press OK (B6) to start brewing (g. 23). The appliance auto-

matically brews coee and milk in sequence. Cleaning Lattecrema System after every use:

1. Leave the milk container in the machine (you do not need

to empty it). Place a cup or other recipient under the frothed milk spout (D4) (g. 35).

3. Cleaning automatically starts and stops.

Watch out: Remember, after cleaning, to turn the knob back on foam setting.26

4. Remove the milk container and put it in the refrigerator

and use soon. For perfect cleaning, we recommend Eco MultiClean : it ensures hygiene by removing milk proteins and fats and can be used to clean the whole machine.

1. Prepare the appliance to deliver 1 or 2 cups of the coee
