Never fill the coffee bean container with other
products! (They might damage the machine!)
Remove the water tank (8) from the machine,
remove its cover (9) and fill it with cold water
(approx. 2.4 l). A valve on the tank bottom
prevents water from escaping.
Before installing the water tank in the
machine, make sure the coffee bean
container cover is properly fitted.
30
Install the water tank, slightly pressing over it to
fit the valve which will open automatically.
Replace the cover on the tank.
Do not fill the tank with an excessive quantity of
water.
Always fill the tank with fresh water: hot wa-
ter as well as other fluids might damage the
tank.
Do not switch on the machine if the water tank
is empty: always make sure there is enough
water in the tank!
Connect the plug to the socket and press the
main switch. When the switch is turned on
(green colour); the electronic circuit carries out
a self-diagnosis. This phase could make some
noise.

DRAINAGE

Drainage
Direct the steam/hot water dispensing tube (5)
over the drip tray (2). Place a cup or another
suitable container under the dispensing tube,
then turn the steam/hot water selection knob (6)
counterclockwise. The pump automatically starts.
Wait until a regular water jet is obtained, then
close the knob. The machine is now drained.
Important: It is advisable to drain the ma-
chine before the first start, after a prolonged use
or whenever the water tank has been com-
pletely emptied. Furthermore, should the two
temperature warning lights (coffee and steam)
blink at the same time, drain the machine too.
The machine is ready for use as soon
as the temperature light is on.

Recommendations

Test
If the machine has not been used for a pro-
longed period, it is advisable for hygienic
reasons to run a rinse cycle through the
machine.
Place a cup under the dispensing tube (5) and
operate the steam/hot water knob (6). Fill a cup
with water.
Preheating cups
Cups may be preheated by placing them on the
heating plate.
Temperature warning light
When connecting the machine, the green warn-
ing light is blinking. After approx. two minutes,
the warning light is permanently on showing
that the machine is ready to be used.
Empty coffee bean container and
empty water tank warning light
When the coffee bean container is empty, the
coffee grinder stops and the warning light gets
30
on. Fill the container with coffee bean and
restart the cycle.
When the water tank is empty the cycle stops
automatically and the warning light gets on. Fill
the tank with water. It is of the utmost importance
to drain the circuit before restarting the ma-
chine. It is not possible to start the cycle without
carrying out the drainage. When restarting the
machine, make sure the warning light 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 spe-
cial cups with thick sides. Keep coffee in a cool
place, in a hermetically sealed container.
Water quality
In addition to blend, grind and water tempera-
ture, the water quality is of the utmost impor-
tance for the brewing of a good coffee.
Thus, the use of a decalcifier to remove limescale
and eliminate any unpleasant taste and or-
ganic impurities from the water, is strongly

BREWING

recommended. Furthermore, a decalcifier par-
tially eliminates limescale from water, thus pro-
tecting the machine heating system from chemi-
cal 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
Switch the machine off only after the coffee
cycle has been concluded.
Brewing
Cup level adjustment
This machine allows the precise dosage of the
coffee quantity, by means of the rotating knob
(27). Exemple:
position 5 = regular coffee
position 6 = espresso coffee
se cups with adequate dimensions.
Double quantity of coffee
or 2 cups of coffee
By pressing the coffee selection button (23)
once, the machine will brew a cup of coffee at
the time.
By pressing the coffee selection button twice, a
double quantity of coffee is brewed.
Bean coffee
31
This machine grinds a portion of fresh coffee for
each cup; for two cups, it grinds two portions of
coffee, one after the other, thus ensuring opti-
mum coffee quality.
