5. Thereafter, place the filter cartridge in the water filter housing and, without vio-
lence, push the water filter down as far as possible onto the valve in the centre
of the water tank. Fill the water tank to the MAX filling line.
6. Insert the water tank at the rear of the machine. The filter cartridge is now active
and the water system can be flushed (see: 'Flushing the Water System').
FLUSHING THE WATER SYSTEM
NOTE
When locking the portafilter to the group head, a slight resistance may be tangib-
ly. This is normal and no need for concern.
IMPORTANT - When switching on the machine, the pump is agitated audibly and
some water comes out of the group head. There is no need for concern, because
this is a normal activity of the machine for preparing the water system for operati-
on. Additionally, on first use (purging the water system), there may be a light burnt
smell, caused by operating the heating elements for the very first time. This is nor-
mal and harmless. The smell vanishes on further use.').
1. Connect the appliance to a sufficient wall power outlet (see: 'Important Safegu-
ards for Electrical Appliances'). A signal sounds. Ensure that the selection dial at
the left side of the group head is switched to the vertical, central standby positi-
on.
2. Press the power button. The power button flashes. Some water comes out of the
group head. Wait until all buttons illuminate continuously.
3. Insert the EMPTY portafilter in the group head. For this, hold the handle to the 8
o'clock position, while lifting it into the group head. Then turn the handle of the
portafilter to the right as far as possible without violence.
4. Place a sufficiently large and heat-resistant bowl (china or metal; capacity at
least 1 litre) under the group head. Grasp the steam wand at the handle and
point the steam wand into the bowl.
WARNING
escape under pressure. Do not hold your hands or arms under the group head or
near the steam wand, while the appliance is switched on and/or still hot. Additi-
onally, while flushing the water system, the bowl may get hot too. If required,
protect your hands.
