PRIMING THE CIRCUIT
This simple operation ensures optimum dispensing and has to be performed:
- When first starting:
- When the machine has not been used for a long time (1 or 2 weeks)
• After producing steam - When the tank has run out of water.
Fill the tank with water, making sure not to exceed the "MAX" level marker.

The pump will start to operate, taking water from the tank.
Water will come out through the steam pipe. Wait until approximately one cupful has come out.
To finish the operation, close the steam control (B) by turning it clockwise.
This will complete the priming operation.
USE:
Connect the appliance to the mains.
Use the On/Off switch to switch the appliance on.
The indicator lights on the buttons will flash, indicating that preheating is taking place.
When the preheating operation has finished, the lights will remain lit. The buttons will not work during the preheating operation.
The machine is now ready to make your coffee.
STANDBY MODE
Once the machine is switched on, it automatically goes into Standby mode, awaiting a command.
In Standby mode the 1-coffee and 2-coffee lights stay lit, and the thermoblock technology maintains the temperature.
BREWING COFFEE
One coffee
Remove the filter holder, if it is already fitted.
To enjoy the full aroma of the coffee, we recommend emptying and cleaning the filter with a fine cleaning brush after each use.
Fill the coffee filter with 7-8 g of ground coffee, and press it down using the compactor on the measuring spoon.
Place the filter in the filter holder and fit the filter holder in the machine, turning it anticlockwise to its locking position.
NOTE: We recommend natural roast coffee. Torrefacto coffee may affect the operation of the machine.
Press the 1-coffee button. The machine will start PRE-BREWING by pouring a little water over the coffee to moisten it. It will then brew the coffee and stop automatically, with three beeps to signal the end of the function.
Once the function has finished, proceed to clean the filter.
Two coffees
Repeat all the previous steps, substituting the 1-coffee filter for the 2-coffee one and filling it with approximately 15-16 g of coffee.
Press the 2-coffee button and the machine will operate until brewing is completed.
Coffee capsule (Only on the Taste Slim ProCap model) Open the capsule accessory lid by turning it anti-clockwise.
Place the capsule face up inside the space and close the lid.
Put the accessory into the filter holder, positioning the lid at the bottom of it.
Proceed to brew the coffee as normal.
To extract the capsule, remove the filter holder and allow it to cool.
Take off the lid and recycle the capsule as recommended by the capsule manufacturer.
Hot water
In Standby mode, open the steam/hot water control. The pump will start to work and hot water will come out through the steamer pipe.
Once finished, close the pipe using the steam control. Steam / Frothing Milk
In Standby mode, press the steam button. This will start to flash, indicating that the thermoblock is heating to a temperature of 130 °C to produce dry steam.
Insert the steamer pipe into the container holding the milk or liquid to be heated.
Open the steam/hot water control. The pump will emit small pulse sounds, generating steam.
Once the milk or liquid is hot, close the steam control and wipe the pipe clean with a cloth.
When the function has finished, press the coffee button to lower the temperature and switch back to Standby mode.
COFFEE QUANTITY PROGRAMMING
With this coffee it is possible to set the amount of coffee that each button brews. To do this, make a coffee by following the instructions above, changing only one step:
When pressing the button to brew the coffee, keep it pressed down until you reach the desired quantity and then release it.
The machine saves this setting for subsequent brews.

ONCE YOU HAVE FINISHED USING
THE APPLIANCE:
Turn the appliance off, using the on/off switch.
Unplug the appliance from the mains.
Clean the appliance
SAFETY THERMAL PROTECTOR
The appliance has a safety device, which protects the appliance from overheating.
When the appliance switches itself on and off repeatedly, for reasons other than the thermostat control, check to ensure that there are no obstacles that impede correct air entry or expulsion.
If the appliance turns itself off and does not switch itself on again, unplug it from the mains supply and wait approximately 15 minutes before reconnecting it. If it fails to switch on again, take it to one of the authorised technical assistance services.
AUTO-OFF FUNCTION
SOLAC machines are designed to save energy.
Consequently, the appliance switches off automatically 30 minutes after the last operation.
To return to normal operation, simply press any button.
CLEANING
BETWEEN COFFEES
To enjoy the best coffee, we recommend always keeping the coffee maker clean.
Empty the coffee out of the filter by giving it a sharp tap or with the help of a spoon or utensil.
Clean the filter with warm water or with a fine cleaning brush to remove any coffee remains. Use a damp cloth to wipe the shower (the filter holder support) to remove any coffee remains.
CAUTION: Make sure not to touch any of the parts involved in the brewing (Filter, Shower) immediately after making a coffee.
BASIC CLEANING
Unplug the appliance from the mains and let it cool before performing any cleaning task.
Clean the equipment using a damp cloth with a few drops of washing-up liquid and then dry.
Do not use solvents or products with an acid or base pH, such as bleach or abrasive products, to clean the appliance.
Do not let water or any other liquid get in through the air vents to avoid damaging the appliance's internal components.
The following parts are dishwasher safe:
- Water tank
- Drip tray
- Coffee filters
Next, dry all the parts before refitting them and storing the appliance.
STEAMER PIPE CLEANING
ATTENTION! All of the steamer components can become very hot.
It is advisable to clean the steamer pipe after generating steam and before switching off the machine to prevent a build-up of dirt.
To do this, take the sleeve off the steamer pipe. Place a glass containing with a little water, under the pipe and submerge the pipe in the water.
Follow the instructions in the "Hot Water" section to make hot water come out through the pipe.
Use a cloth to dry the pipe and put the sleeve back on. If no steam comes out, dry milk may be blocking the outlet. In which case, carefully use a needle to unclog the tip of the steamer pipe.
Once clean, rinse under running tap water and reassemble it. Generate some more steam.
HOW TO DEAL WITH LIME SCALE INCRUSTATIONS:
For the appliance to work correctly it should be kept free of limescale or magnesium deposits caused by using hard water.
To prevent this kind of problem, we recommend the use of water with low lime or magnesium mineralisation.
The coffee maker tells you when descaling is needed by beeping and the three lights switch on without flashing.
When this happens, fill the tank with 1L of water and add a descaling agent (citric acid, descaler...)
Access the programming menu as described earlier in the manual.
Place a large container (enough to hold 1L water) under the steamer pipe.
Open the steam control to the MAX position.
Press the steam heating button again and the machine will begin the descaling process. This process takes about 5 minutes.
A specific anti-lime scale product should be used on this kind of product.
NOTE: Should you also want to clean the entire coffee system, you can alternate the flow of water by using the steam control.
NOTE: Home-made solutions, such as the use of vinegar, are not recommended for de-scaling this appliance. Once the operation has finished, refill the tank with clean water and go through the process again, but without descaling agent, to eliminate any remains left inside the machine.
Once finished, clean the water tank and the machine is now ready for use.
