Before first use

Remove the packaging. Make sure the product is complete and undamaged. Check if all accessories are present. Do not use the appliance if it is visibly damaged. Contact the service department if there are any problems.

Coffee has been used to test the appliance in the factory. Therefore it is completely normal that there are traces of coffee in the mill.

Customise the water hardness as soon as possible. Obey the instructions in chapter 'Set the water hardness'.

To improve the performance of your appliance, we recommend installing a water softener filter. If your model is not provided with a filter, you can purchase one from the service department.

Always use clean and cold tap water, bottled water without added minerals or distilled water suitable for consumption.

The first time you use the appliance, the water circuit is empty. The appliance could be very noisy. The noise becomes less when the circuit fills with water.

The first time you use the appliance, you need to make 4-5 cups of coffee before it starts to give results that are satisfactory.

When making the first 5-6 beverages, it is normal to hear the noise of boiling water. This noise becomes less during use.

Pull the appliance forward to get access to the main switch, the area for accessories and the lid of the bean container. Pull the coffee spouts forward to open the service door.

The appliance is ready to use if it has reached the correct temperature.

The primary screen is shown.

Attention

Each time the appliance is set to 'On', it performs an automatic preheat and rinse cycle. This cycle cannot be interrupted. The appliance is ready for use only after completion of this cycle.

Tip

Put a cup under the spouts. Collect the hot water from the rinse cycle to warm the cup.

Important!

Do not push the main switch while the appliance is set to 'On'.

Set your appliance to 'Standby' and 'Off'

Simple line drawing of a room with a wall-mounted device and a floor-mounted fixture (no text or symbols)

Attention

Each time the appliance is set to 'Standby' after being used to make coffee, it performs an automatic rinse cycle.

Please note

If you do not use the appliance for a long period, set the appliance to 'Off'.

Important tips and tricks when you make coffee

- The supply of coffee can be stopped at any moment.

- As soon as the supply has ended, you can increase the quantity of water.

- You can customise beverages.

- Adjust the grind level if the coffee is supplied a drop at a time or too weak and not creamy enough.

• Make a hotter coffee:

▶ Perform a rinse cycle and warm the cups with the hot water from the rinse cycle.

▶Supply hot water to warm the cups.

▶Use the cup warmer setting to warm the cups.

▶ Increase the coffee temperature.

- Lower the spouts to the cup as near as possible. This makes the coffee more creamy.

- After the coffee supply, the aroma setting and the quantity setting are reset to the ‘original recipe’.

- Once a beverage has been made, the appliance is ready to make the next beverage.

Make coffee using coffee beans

Important!

Do not use green, caramelised or candied coffee beans. They could make the coffee mill unusable.

• if the coffee is supplied too slowly or not at all.
  ▶Turn the knob one click clockwise in the direction of 7.
  • for a stronger, creamier coffee.
  ▶Turn the knob one click anti-clockwise in the direction of 1.

Please note!

- Only turn the knob when the coffee mill is operating (during the start of the coffee preparation). Turn the knob one click at a time. When you have made at least 2 cups of coffee, turn the knob another click if the adjustment did not give the desired result.

Make milk-based hot drinks

Tip

- Use skimmed or partially skimmed milk at refrigerator temperature (about 5 °C) to get a richer denser froth.

Descale the appliance

Descale the appliance when the related message is shown on the display.

- To descale immediately, read and obey the instructions shown on the display.

- To descale the appliance later, touch the escape key.

A symbol is shown on the display to remind you that the appliance needs descaling.

Important!

Before use, read the instructions and the labelling on the descaler pack. You should use descaler authorised by the manufacturer only. Using unsuitable descaler and/or performing descaling incorrectly may result in faults not covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

Danger of burns!

Hot water containing acid flows out of the hot water spout. Take care to avoid contact with splashes of this solution.

Please note

• A series of rinses and pauses is performed automatically to remove all the scale residues inside the coffee machine. Empty the container every time after it has collected the rinsing water.
• If a filter was removed previously, the display will show the message when to insert the filter into the housing. If no filter was present, you can skip this step.
• If the descaling cycle is not completed correctly (e.g. no electricity) we recommend repeating the cycle.
• If the water tank has not been filled to the MAX level, at the end of descaling, the appliance requests a third rinse to guarantee that the descaler solution has been completely eliminated from the appliance's internal circuits. Before starting rinsing, remember to empty the drip tray.
• The appliance may request descaling cycles at very short intervals. This is normal due to the appliance's advanced control system.

Set the water hardness

The appliance is set by default for a hardness level of 4. The appliance can also be programmed according to the hardness of the mains water in the various regions.

The appliance needs to be descaled less often if this hardness level is lower.

Immerse the ‘total hardness test’ indicator paper (attached to the instructions) in a glass of water for one second.

After about a minute, red squares can be seen.

Abstract pattern of horizontal bands with varying shades of gray and black, no text or symbols present

Level 1: soft water.

Level 2: moderately hard water.

Level 3: hard water.

Level 4: very hard water.

The appliance is now programmed with the new water hardness setting.

Install a water softener filter

Certain models are fitted with a water softener filter. If this is not the case with your model, you are recommended to purchase one from the service department.

Please note

The filter lasts about two months if the appliance is used normally. If the coffee machine is left unused with the filter installed, it will last a maximum of 3 weeks.

Replace a water softener filter

Replace the filter when the related message is shown on the display.

- To replace the filter immediately, read and obey the instructions shown on the display.

• To replace the filter later, touch the escape key.

A symbol is shown on the display to remind you that the filter needs to be replaced.

Take a look at the pictures in the previous section how to install the filter.

Please note

After two months (see date indicator) or when the appliance has not been used for 3 weeks, you should replace the filter even if the message has not been displayed yet.

Remove a water softener filter

If you want to use the appliance without the filter, you must remove it and notify the appliance of its removal.
