23 Replace the water tank into the machine, seating it in its position. Then place the water tank cover on, pressing lightly to activate the automatic valve.
Do not overfill the water tank with water.
Fill the water tank with cold, fresh water only. Hot water and other fluids may damage the machine. Do not use carbonated (sparkling) water.
Do not use the machine if the water tank is empty. Always make sure the water tank is full prior to turning on the machine.
Plug the power cord into the outlet and press the main switch of the machine. The green light will come on and the internal electronics will automatically perform a self-test. You will hear some sounds, which are normal during the self-test.
Priming the system
30 Place a cup or another suitable container under the steam/hot water arm (5) and turn the steam/hot water knob (6) counterclockwise. The pump will automatically begin to function. When a steady stream of water is dispensed, close the knob by turning it clockwise. The machine has now been primed.
Important: It is recommended to prime the system before the first use of the machine, after a prolonged unused period, or whenever the water tank has run completely dry. The priming procedure also should be carried out if the two temperature lights, for brewing (22) and for steaming (24), are blinking simultaneously. The machine is ready for use when the coffee temperature (22) light stops blinking and remains on.
Temperature control light
After turning the machine on, the coffee temperature light (22) will blink for approx. two minutes while the machine is reaching in the correct temperature. The light will stop blinking and remain on when the correct temperature has been reached.
Bean hopper empty and water tank empty lights
When the bean hopper is empty, the corresponding light will come on and the grinder will automatically stop. Fill the bean hopper and reactivate the cycle by pressing the button (21). Also when the water tank is empty, the corresponding light will come on. Fill the water tank and follow the procedure for priming the system before brewing any espresso.
Grind
If the espresso flows too quickly (grind too coarse) or too slowly (grind too fine), adjust the grinder.
Recommended grind setting: position "8"
Flows too quickly: adjust grinder to a finer setting (6 or 7)
Flows too slowly: adjust grinder to a coarser setting (9 or 10).
Adjust the grind setting only when the grinder is running. Avoid extreme
adjustments (for example, position 1). If espresso continues to flow at the improper speed, try a different coffee blend, as not all blends may be suitable for proper extraction with this machine. The modified grind setting can be detected only after brewing three or four espresso, since residual ground coffee remains in the grinder from the previous setting.
Quality of the coffee
Make sure the coffee beans you are using are fresh. It is recommended to use an espresso roast or another blend suitable for espresso. Store beans in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
Quality of water.
To prepare an excellent espresso, besides the blend, the grinding, and the right water temperature, the quality of water is also determining. Hence, we suggest to use water with a low content of limestone, so that to obtain a better
taste of your coffee and protect the internal surfaces from the production of harmful calcareous deposits.
Drain the water tank every day, and fill it with fresh water.
Absolutely never use water with carbon dioxide (aerated water)
Machine warm-up time
The machine may be kept turned on all day. However, if the machine is not used for a prolonged period, it is advisable to turn it off. The machine needs less than two minutes to warm up.
Turning off the machine
Do not turn the machine off when it is in the process of brewing. Turn it off only upon completion of the entire brew cycle.
Preparing beverages
Adjustment of the dispensing head
The dispensing head (4) is adjustable for different cup heights. Depending on the height of the cup being used, move the dispensing head up or down.
Espresso volume adjustment
Adjust the volume of the espresso for each cup by turning the knob (25). For example:
Use appropriately sized cups.
Brewing espresso (1 or 2 cups)
Press the coffee selection button (21) to brew one cup of espresso. If the button is pressed twice consecutively, the machine will perform two brew cycles for either one double espresso or two cups of espresso.
Each espresso cycle is freshly ground, adding to a superior espresso pleasure.
Before turning the machine on, make sure the steam/hot water knob is
Adjust the grinder: see instructions above.
The grinder should be adjusted only when it is grinding. Making parts to the grinder while it is not running or use damage.
29 Place one or two cups on the grill (3) under the dispensing head (4). Press the coffee selection button (21). The machine will brew one cup of espresso. By pressing the button twice consecutively, two cups will be brewed. To interrupt the flow, press again the coffee selection button.
Hot water
The hot water has a separate water circuit from that of the espresso to prevent any cross-contamination. Hot water can be used to make tea, soup, infusions, etc.
30 Place a glass or cup under the steam/hot water arm (5) and slowly open the knob (6) counterclockwise.
Hot water will automatically be dispensed. To stop the flow of hot water, turn the knob clockwise.
Steam
To heat milk or other beverages.
Clean the steam arm with a damp, non-abrasive cloth after each use.
Residual milk which hardens is more difficult to remove.
Prime the machine after using the steam function to return the machine rect brewing temperature. The machine
will automatically be prevented from brewing coffee if the correct brewing temperature has not been reached.
The brewing function is automatically blocked if the machine is in the function (light 24 is on).
Press the steam button (23) and wait until the corresponding light comes on. The light will blink until the correct temperature has been reached. Slowly open the knob (6) counterclockwise. Allow the excess condensation to exit. When only steam is being produced, immerse the arm into the container holding the beverage to be heated.
31 Slowly open the steam knob completely and heat the beverage, using a circular movement from bottom to top. When the beverage has reached the desired temperature, close the knob and clean the arm with a damp cloth.
Warning: Use extreme caution when handling the steam arm: it may be very hot!
Upon completion of steaming, turn the function off by pressing the button (23). Open the steam knob again and prime the machine (the pump automatically starts) until water flows in a steady stream from the steam arm and the two lights (22 and 24) stop blinking. (See also the section above describing priming the system).
Close the steam knob. The machine is now ready to brew.
Frothing milk for cappuccino
Fill a container 1/3 full with cold milk. Immerse the steam arm (5) just below the milk surface. Turn the steam knob (6) open and begin moving the container in a circular motion to form a thick froth. Then immerse the arm further into the container to heat the milk.
Safety devices
If the service door is open, the machine is automatically deactivated and will not operate. It is not possible to brew espresso or produce steam if the brew group, dump box, or drip tray are not positioned in the machine.
Electronic grinder protection
The grinder will automatically stop after approx. 20 seconds when the bean hopper becomes empty. The corresponding light (26) comes on. Fill the bean hopper and press the button (21) to reactivate the espresso cycle.
Electronic pump protection
The machine will automatically stop if the water tank is empty in order to protect the pump. The light (26) will come on.
Electronic temperature control
Both the brewing and the steaming temperatures are controlled so as to assure the proper temperature for each function. Espresso brewing will be automatically interrupted if the temperature is too low or too high (safety thermostat and protection against overheating).
Grinder safety mechanism
Even premium beans may contain some impurities, i.e. a little pebble. The grinder has a built-in safety mechanism to prevent damage from such impurities. You will hear a strange sound if a little pebble is stuck in the grinder. Immediately turn off the machine. If the machine is not manually turned off, the grinder will automatically block itself after 20 seconds.
Important: In order to avoid damaging the motor, remove the foreign object from the grinder before turning on the machine again. You may need to contact an authorized service center for help.
