The machine is, however, guaranteed to be new.

- You should customise water hardness as soon as possible following the instructions in the "Setting water hardness" section.

1. Connect the appliance to the mains electricity supply and press the main switch (A19).

You must select the required language:

1. To set English, wait for the appliance to display "PRESS OK TO INSTALL ENGLISH". While the message is displayed, hold the OK button (C5) (fig. 1) down for at least 3 seconds until "ENGLISH INSTALLED" is displayed. If you set the wrong language by mistake, follow the instructions in the section "Changing the language" to choose the right language. Follow the instructions indicated by the appliance:
2. After 5 seconds, the appliance displays "FILL TANK". To fill the water tank, remove (fig. 2), rinse and fill with fresh water.

Replace the tank and push as far as it will go.

1. Place a cup under the hot water spout (fig. 3).

(If the hot water spout is not inserted, the appliance displays "INSERT WATER SPOUT". Attach it as shown in figure 4.

The appliance now displays: "HOT WATER PRESS OK".

Press the OK button (C5) (fig. 1) and after a few seconds a little water comes out of the spout.

(Delivery stops automatically).

1. The machine now displays "TURNING OFF... PLEASE WAIT" and goes off.
2. Extract the appliance by pulling it out using the handles (fig. 5). Open the lid and fill the container with coffee beans, then close the lid and push the appliance in.

Important! To prevent malfunction, never introduce pre-ground coffee, freeze dried coffee, caramelised beans or anything else which could damage the appliance.

The coffee maker is now ready for normal use.

N.B.: When using the appliance for the first time, you need to make 4-5 cups of coffee and 4-5 cappuccinos before the appliance starts to give satisfactory results.

N.B.: Each time you turn the coffee maker on by the main switch (A19), it performs a SELF-DIAGNOSIS cycle and then goes off. To turn it on again, turn the Knob (C6) to the

right or left.

TURNING ON AND HEATING UP

Each time the appliance is turned on, it performs an automatic preheat and rinse cycle which cannot be interrupted.

The appliance is ready for use only after completion of this cycle.

Danger of burns! During rinsing, a little hot water flows from the coffee spouts. Avoid contact with splashes of water.

To turn the appliance on, turn the knob (C6) to the right or left (fig. 6). "HEATING UP... PLEASE WAIT" is displayed.

After heating, the message "RINSING" is displayed. As well as heating the boiler, the appliance also heats the internal circuits by circulating hot water.

The appliance is at temperature when the message "READY STANDARD TASTE" is displayed.

MAKING COFFEE USING COFFEE BEANS

1. The appliance is preset to make coffee with a standard taste.

You can also choose coffee with an extra-mild, mild, strong or extra-strong taste.

To choose the required taste, press the 🔗 button (C7) (fig. 7). The required coffee taste is displayed.

1. Place 1 cup under the spouts to make 1 coffee (fig. 8) or 2 cups for 2 coffees (fig. 9).

Lower the spouts as near as possible to the cup for a creamier coffee (fig. 10).

1. Press the button (C8) to make a short coffee (fig. 11), the button (C9) for a standard coffee and the button (C10) for a long coffee. To make 2 coffees, press the button twice (within 2 seconds).

To change the quantity of coffee the appliance delivers automatically into the cup, proceed as described in the following section.

The appliance now grinds the beans and starts delivering the coffee into the cup. Once the set amount of coffee has been delivered, the machine stops delivery automatically and expels the exhausted coffee grounds into the grounds container.

1. After a few seconds, the ready message is displayed again and you can make another coffee.
2. To turn the appliance off, turn the ① knob (C6) to the right or left.

Before going off, the appliance performs an automatic rinse cycle (a little hot water flows from the spouts and is collected in the drip tray beneath).

Take care to avoid scalds.

NOTE 1: If the coffee is delivered a drop at a time or not at all, turn the grinding adjustment knob (fig. 12) one click clockwise (see "Adjusting the coffee mill").

Proceed one click at a time until coffee delivery is satisfactory.

NOTE 2: If the coffee is delivered too fast and the cream is not satisfactory, turn the grinding adjustment knob (fig. 12) one click anticlockwise (see "Adjusting the coffee mill").

Avoid turning the grinding adjustment knob excessively, otherwise when you select 2 cups, the coffee may be delivered a drop at a time.

NOTE 3: Tips for a hotter coffee:

- When you turn the appliance on, if you want to make a short coffee (less than 60 cl / 20.29 oz), rinse the cups with hot water to preheat the cups.

If more than 2/3 minutes have passed since the last coffee was made, before requesting another coffee, you must preheat the infuser by pressing the button (C4) (fig. 13).

Deliver the water into the underlying drip tray or alternatively use this water to fill (and then empty) the cup to be used for the coffee, so as to preheat it.

- Unless preheated, do not use excessively thick cups as they will absorb too much heat.

- Preheat the cups by rinsing them with hot water.

NOTE 4: While the appliance is making coffee, delivery can be interrupted at any moment by pressing the previously selected button, (C8), (C9) or (C10).

NOTE 5: As soon as delivery is finished, to increase the quantity of coffee in the cup, just hold down the previously selected coffee button, (C8), (C9) or (C10), until the required amount is reached (this must be done within 3 seconds after completion of delivery).

NOTE 6: When the appliance displays "FILL TANK", fill the tank with water or the appliance will not deliver coffee.

(It is normal for there to be a little water left in the tank when the message is displayed).

NOTE 7: After about 14 single (or 7 double) coffees, the appliance displays "EMPTY GROUNDS CONTAINER", indicating that the grounds container is full and must be emptied and cleaned. Until the grounds container has been cleaned, the appliance continues to display the message and coffee cannot be made.

Even if not full, the empty waste coffee container message is displayed 72 hours after the first coffee has been delivered. For the 72 hours to be calculated correctly, the machine must never be turned off with the main switch in the 0 position.

To clean, open the service door on the front of the appliance by pulling the handle (fig. 14), extract the drip tray (fig. 15), empty and clean.

When cleaning, always extract the drip tray completely to avoid it falling when the grounds container is removed.

Empty the grounds container and clean thoroughly to remove all residues left on the bottom.

Important! when removing the drip tray, the grounds container MUST be emptied, even if it is not completely full. If this is not done, when you make the next coffees, the grounds container may fill up more than expected and clog the machine.

NOTE 8: Never extract the water tank while the machine is delivering coffee.

If it is removed, it will not be possible to make the coffee and the appliance will display "GROUND TOO FINE ADJUST MILL and INSERT WATER SPOUT AND PRESS OK".

To use the appliance again, insert the hot water spout (fig. 4) if not already in position, then press the OK button (C5) and deliver water from the spout for a few seconds.

CHANGING THE QUANTITY OF COFFEE IN THE CUP

The appliance is set by default to automatically make the following types of coffee:

• short coffee when the button (C8) is pressed;
• standard coffee when the button (C9) is pressed;
• long coffee when the button (C10) is pressed.

To change these quantities, proceed as follows:

• Hold down the button corresponding to the quantity you want to change, (C8), (C9), or (C10) for at least 3 seconds, then release until the message "PROGRAM QUANTITY" is displayed and coffee delivery commences;
• When the coffee in the cup reaches the required level, press the same button again to memorize the new amount.

The appliance is now reprogrammed with the new settings and displays: "READY".

The coffee mill is preset in the factory to make coffee correctly and should not require adjusting initially.

However, if after making the first few coffees you find that delivery is either too fast or too slow (a drop at a time), this can be corrected by adjusting the grinding adjustment knob (fig. 12). Turn one click clockwise (one number) for more rapid coffee delivery (not a drop at a time).

Turn one click anticlockwise for slower coffee delivery and a creamier coffee. These adjustments will only be evident after at least 2 cups of coffee have been delivered.

The grinding adjustment knob must only be turned when the coffee mill is in operation.

For slower delivery and creamier coffee, turn one click anticlockwise (finer pre-ground coffee).

For faster delivery (not a drop at a time), turn one click clockwise (coarser pre-ground coffee).

(Coffee has been used to factory test the appliance and it is therefore completely normal for there to be traces of coffee in the mill. It is, however, guaranteed to be new.)

MAKING ESPRESSO COFFEE WITH PRE-GROUND COFFEE (INSTEAD OF BEANS)

- Press the button (C3) (fig. 16) to select the pre-ground coffee function. This disables the coffee mill function.

The appliance now displays the message: "READY PRE-GROUND".

- Extract the machine by pulling it outwards using the handles.

- Lift the central lid, place one measure of pre-ground coffee in the funnel (fig. 17), push the appliance in then proceed as described in the section "Making coffee using coffee beans".

N.B.: You can make just one coffee at a time by pressing the ☐ (C8), ☐ (C9) or (C10) button once only.

- After using the machine with pre-ground coffee, to go back to making coffee using beans, deactivate the pre-ground coffee function by pressing the 📋 button (C7) again to

enable the coffee mill.

NOTE 1: Never introduce pre-ground coffee when the machine is off or it could spread through the inside of the appliance.

NOTE 2: Never add more than 1 level measure, otherwise either the appliance will not make the coffee and the pre-ground coffee will be dispersed inside the appliance, dirtying it, or the coffee will be delivered a drop at a time.

NOTE 3: Use the measure provided to add the right amount of coffee.

NOTE 4: Introduce only pre-ground coffee for espresso coffee machines into the funnel. Never fill with coffee beans, freeze dried coffee or other substance that could damage the appliance.

NOTE 5: If more than one measure of pre-ground coffee is used and the funnel clogs, push the coffee down with a knife (fig. 18) then remove and clean the infuser and machine as described in the "Cleaning the infuser" section.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Before performing any cleaning operations, leave the machine to cool down completely and unplug from the mains power supply.

Never immerse the coffee maker in water. It is an electrical appliance.

Do not use solvents or abrasive detergents to clean the coffee maker. A soft damp cloth will suffice. Never wash any of the components of the coffee maker in the dishwasher.

Cleaning the coffee maker

The following parts of the machine must be cleaned regularly:

• Coffee grounds container (A4). - Drip tray (A11). - Water tank (A9). • Coffee spouts (A10). • Pre-ground coffee funnel (A17). - Inside of the machine, accessible after opening the service door (A2). - Infuser (A5).

Cleaning the coffee grounds container

When "EMPTY GROUNDS CONTAINER" is displayed, the grounds container must be emptied and cleaned.

Until the grounds container has been cleaned, the appliance continues to display the message and coffee cannot be made.

To clean:

• Open the service door (A2) on the front of the appliance (fig. 14), extract the drip tray (A11) (fig. 15), empty and clean.
• Empty the grounds container and clean it thoroughly to remove all residues left on the bottom.

Important! When removing the drip tray, the grounds

container must be emptied, even if it is not completely full. If this is not done, when you make the next coffees, the grounds container may fill up more than expected and clog the machine.

Cleaning the drip tray

Important! If the drip tray is not emptied regularly, the water could overflow from the edge and seep inside or around the coffee maker. This could damage the appliance and cabinet.

The drip tray is fitted with a level indicator (red) showing the level of water it contains (fig. 31).

Before the indicator protrudes from the cup tray, the drip tray must be emptied and cleaned.

To remove the tray:

1. Open the service door (A2) (fig. 14).
2. Remove the drip tray (A11) and the grounds container (A4) (fig. 15).
3. Empty the drip tray and grounds container and wash them.
4. Replace the drip tray complete with grounds container.
5. Close the service door.

Cleaning the water tank

1. Clean the water tank (A9) regularly (about once a month) with a damp cloth and a little mild washing up liquid.
2. Clean to remove all washing up liquid residues, then rinse the water tank thoroughly.

Cleaning the spouts

1. Clean the coffee spout nozzles (A10) periodically using a sponge or cloth (fig. 27).
2. Check regularly that the holes in the coffee spout are not blocked. If necessary, remove coffee deposits with a toothpick (fig. 26).

Cleaning the pre-ground coffee funnel

Descaling

Important! Before descaling, make sure the water softener filter has been removed.

Important! Descaler contains acids which may irritate the skin and eyes. It is vital to respect the manufacturer's safety warnings given on the descaler pack and the warnings

relating to the procedure to follow in the event of contact with the skin and eyes.

N:B:: Use the descaler recommended by the manufacturer only. Use of other descalers invalidates the guarantee. Failure to descale the appliance as described also invalidates the guarantee.

Over time, constant heating up of the water used to make the coffee leads to limescale building up in the inner circuits of the appliance.

When "DESCALE" is displayed, the machine requires descaling.

Proceed as follows:

• Press the MENU button (C2) (the light over the button comes on), then press the NEXT (C3) button repeatedly until the appliance displays "DESCALE NO";
• Press the CHANGE button (C4) and the appliance displays "DESCALE YES";
• Press the OK button (C5) to start the descaling programme;
• Empty the water tank, pour the contents of the descaler bottle into the tank, respecting the instructions given on the descaler pack, then add water.

When descaling subsequently, use descaler of the same type and brand as supplied (available from the manufacturer's authorized Customer Services) or a descaler recommended by Customer Services. Always follow the instructions on the pack.

• Attach the hot water spout to the nozzle;
• Place a container with a minimum capacity of 2 liters / 67.63 oz under the hot water spout (fig. 3);
• Press the OK button (C5). Descaler flows out of the hot water spout into the container below. "APPLIANCE IN DESCALE" is displayed;
• The descaling programme automatically performs a series of deliveries and pauses to remove limescale deposits from inside the machine.
• After about 30 minutes, the appliance displays "RINSING FILL TANK".

The appliance must now be rinsed through to eliminate residues of descaling solution from inside the appliance. Proceed as follows:

• Empty the water tank, rinse and fill with clean water.
• Replace the tank;
• Empty the full container and put it back under the hot water spout;
• Press the OK button (C5). Hot water flows out of the spout into the container below and the appliance displays "RINSING";
• When the water tank is empty, the appliance displays the message "RINSING COMPLETE... PRESS OK";
• Press the OK button (C5) and refill the water tank with clean water.
• The descale programme is now terminated and the appliance is ready to make coffee again.

NOTE: If descaling is interrupted before completion, the machine still displays the descaling message and the process must be begun again from the beginning.

Empty the water tank, rinse with clean water and deliver a cup of hot water.

Important! FAILURE TO DESCALE THE APPLIANCE REG-

ULARLY INVALIDATES THE GUARANTEE.

Changing coffee temperature

To change coffee temperature, proceed as follows:

• press the MENU button (C2) (the light over the button comes on) then press the NEXT button (C3) repeatedly until the appliance displays "TEMPERATURE HIGH...";
• press the CHANGE button (C4) until the appliance displays the required coffee temperature;

Setting water hardness

The descale message is displayed after the appliance has been operated for a factory set period of time calculated on the basis of the maximum quantity of limescale which may be contained in the water used.

The operating period can be extended if required, making descaling less frequent by programming the machine on the basis of the real lime content in the water used.

Proceed as follows:

- remove the "Total Hardness Test" strip (attached to page 2)

from its packaging then dip it fully in the water for a few seconds, Then remove and wait about 30 seconds (until it changes colour and forms red squares). - switch the machine on by turning the knob (C6) to the right or left (fig. 6); - press the MENU button (C2) then press the NEXT button (C3) repeatedly until the appliance displays "WATER HARDNESS 4"; - press the CHANGE button (C4) repeatedly until the number coincides with the number of red squares on the test strip (for example, if there are 3 red squares on the test strip, press the button until "WATER HARDNESS 3" is displayed). - press the OK button (C5) to confirm. The coffee maker is now programmed to provide the descale warning when necessary based on the actual hardness of the water.

Resetting default values (reset)

If you change the original values, the default values can be reset as follows:

• Press the MENU button (C2), then press the NEXT button (C3) repeatedly until the appliance displays "RESET TO DEFAULT NO";
• press the CHANGE button (C4) and the appliance displays "RESET TO DEFAULT YES";
