USE AND CARE

Do not use the appliance if its accessories are not properly positioned. Do not use the appliance if the on/off switch does not work. Do not move the appliance while it is in use.

Do not use the appliance if it is tilted upwards and do not turn it over.

Do not turn the appliance over while it is in use or connected to the electrical network.

The use and storage environment of the product should be above 10^ C and below 40^ C.

Leave a minimum distance of 8 cm between the back of the coffee maker and the wall or other furniture.

Respect the MAX and MIN levels of the water tank.

Disconnect the appliance from the mains when not in use and before undertaking any cleaning task.

Unplug the appliance from the mains before refilling the water tank.

Store this appliance out of the reach of children and/or people with reduced physical, sensory or mental disabilities or lack of experience and knowledge.

Instructions for use

NOTES PRIOR TO USE

Please read the "Safety Tips and Warnings" leaflet carefully before using it for the first time.

Make sure all packaging has been removed from the product.

Check that all accessories are complete and that the unit is not damaged.

Check and understand all parts and their functions.

It is recommended to keep the original container for future use. And then follow the operations below continuation.

Before first use, remove the water tank and coffee group and rinse them with clean water.

Check and make sure that all removable parts are securely installed in place.

WATER TANK

Remove the water tank from the device. Fill the water tank with fresh water up to the Max mark and reassemble it on the appliance.

The tank has a maximum capacity of 1.2 liters.

COFFEE BEAN TANK

Open the tank cover.

Fill the coffee tank with the appropriate amount of coffee beans, 170g maximum. Close the tank lid.

CAUTION: Always use natural coffee to preserve the life of the grinding element.

GRIND ADJUSTMENT

The coffee maker is adjusted to the proper thickness level before leaving the factory, so you can make coffee without needing to adjust it. If after brewing a few cups of coffee, the coffee is too light and not rich enough, or the coffee flows too slowly (drop by drop), the problem can be solved by following these steps:

1. Open the coffee bean container lid.
2. Start preparing coffee.

3. Hearing the sound of the grinder operating, adjust the grind adjustment wheel to the appropriate level (gear 1 is the finest, gear 5 is the coarsest). The number of the grind adjustment wheel indicated by the arrow is the grind setting actually selected.

4. Observe the speed of the coffee, if the speed of coffee preparation is very slow or there is no coffee, adjust the wheel to
   5; If you need a rich, heavy coffee, adjust the wheel to 1.

5. After brewing at least 2 cups of coffee, the effect of adjusted bean thickness will appear. If the adjustment still does not achieve the desired effect, turn the adjustment wheel again to another number.

CAUTION: We suggest adjusting only 1 number at a time to avoid damage.

CAUTION: Once you have filled the coffee grinder, it is important that if you wish to adjust the grind setting, you do so while the grinder is running.

COFFEE OUT

The adjustable height of the coffee spout ranges between 80 and 140 mm, with the base properly fitted.

INTERIOR DRIP TRAY AND WASTE COLLECTION CONTAINER

If the waste box or drip tray is not installed properly in place, the indicator (2.5) will light and the

machine will not be able to work.

It will also turn on if the waste tank is full.

DRIP TRAY

The drip tray must be installed well in its place so that the container containing the coffee or hot water can be placed on it.

NOTE: The drip tray collects water from the dispensing nozzle during each rinse and self-cleaning, as well as any coffee that may spill during brewing. It is recommended to clean and empty the drip tray every day.

COFFEE GROUP

Open the door and check if the coffee group is properly installed in its place.

Check if the arrow on the coffee group is aligned with the arrow on the upper support.

An audible click indicates that the coffee group assembly is correct.

The coffee group indicator (2.2) will turn on steadily if the coffee group is not in place or is incorrectly installed.

Close the door.

The door and the body are in the same horizontal plane.

USE

Connect the power cable to the device.

Connect the device to the electrical network.

Press the on/off switch (L) located on the back of the device.

Press the on/off button (1.1) on the control panel.

The control panel will appear as follows, indicating that the appliance is warming up for its function:

[=] [○] [●] [●] [●] [●]

The device will automatically check if the water tank is short of water, if the coffee group is in place, if the side door is closed, etc. If there is a problem, the corresponding control panel icon will flash. The coffee maker will automatically pump water to clean the coffee maker.

Once cleaning is complete, the device will be ready to make coffee.

ATTENTION: If the coffee maker has not been used for a long time or it is the first time it is used, there may be a pumping process in which the sound of the pump is very loud or it may even be that the water cannot be pumped. This phenomenon is normal. If no water comes out, after turning on the machine, press the hot water button. If the hot water button is pressed and the machine still cannot pump water, you can try several times until the water comes out.

ONCE USE OF THE DEVICE IS FINISHED:

To turn off the device, press the on/off button for 3 seconds.

Before turning off, the device will automatically pump water to clean the coffee maker.
