It is not possible to start programming without carrying out the drainage.
When restarting the machine, make sure the red warning light is not blinking or is off.
Grind
If the coffee flows too quickly (coarse grind) or too slowly (fine grind) into the cup, adjust the coffee grinder.
Recommended grind level: position 5
Grind too coarse = adjust to a lower value (from 5 to 3)
Grind too fine = adjust to a higher value (from 5 to 7).
Adjust the grind level only when the coffee grinder is running.
Avoid extreme adjustment (for instance, on position 1) whenever possible.
It is preferable to try another coffee blend, because not all coffee blends are suitable.
Coffee
Make sure coffee is fresh.
An espresso roast is preferable in order to obtain a strong and aromatic espresso coffee, use special blends suitable for espresso coffee machines and special cups with thick sides.
Keep coffee in a cool place, in a hermetically sealed container.
Coffee may be deep frozen and then ground either fresh or frozen.
Water quality
In addition to blend, grind and water temperature, the water quality is of the utmost importance for the brewing of a good coffee.
Thus, the use of a decalcifier to remove limescale and eliminate any unpleasant taste and organic impurities from the water, is strongly recommended.
Furthermore, a decalcifier partially eliminates limescale from water, thus protecting the machine heating system from chemical buildup and prolonging its working life.
The water tank must be emptied daily and filled with fresh water.
Operation time
The machine may be kept on all day long. However, should the machine not be used for a prolonged period, it is advisable to turn it off. Once switched on, it will be ready for use within two minutes.
Switching off the machine

Dscaling
Descaling is necessary to remove limescale from surfaces and holes, thus ensuring a perfect operation of valves, heating controls and other important parts.
According to water hardness, the machine must be descaled every 3-4 months, according to the water hardness degree.
A more frequent descending is recommended wherever the water hardness degree is very high.
This machine is supplied with a particular warning light to make this operation easier.
Dscaling must be carried out at the latest when this warning light switches on.
Furthermore, said warning light may be adjusted according to the water hardness degree.
The machine has been adjusted at the factory to a 25^ value, which causes the warning light to switch on after approx. 150l.
The water hardness value may be changed, if
necessary, following the instructions shown on page 30.
The following adjustments are possible:
4.5 Hardness index 1: high water hardness, exceeding 29^ (14^) , approx. 80 l water passage.
4.6 Hardness index 2: medium water hardness, approx. 20-29°H (7-14°dH), approx. 1501 water passage.
47 Hardness index 3: soft water, approx. 12-20 ^ H (47 ^ dH) approx. 300 l water passage.
4.8 Hardness index 4: very soft water, less than 10^ (3^) , more than 500 l of water passage.
In case of hard water, a filter should be used both to improve the coffee quality and to protect the machine, thus reducing the descending frequency.
Dscaling must be carried out as follows:
Note: for this purpose, use a descending product suitable for coffee machines.
Never use vinegar to clean the machine; it might damage it.
There are two ways to carry out the descending of the machine:
Standard descaling
