INSTALLATION

• Place the appliance on a flat work surface at a

safe distance from taps and sinks.

• Check that the voltage corresponds to that indi-

cated on the appliance rating plate. The appli-

ance must always be connected to a well-

earthed socket rated at 10 A minimum. The

manufacturer is not liable for damage caused

by inadequate earthing of the appliance.

• In the event of incompatibility between the plug

on the appliance and the socket, have the plug

replaced by a qualified professional. If the

cable is damaged or requires replacing, con-

tact a service centre authorised by the manu-

facturer only.

• Never install the machine in an environment

which can reach a temperature of less than or

equal to 0°C (if the water inside the machine

freezes, the machine might be damaged):

INTRODUCTION TO COFFEE PREPARATION

The coffee machine is designed to make filter cof-

fee, espresso coffee and cappuccino. Filter (drip)

coffee is a “long” relatively mild coffee, which can

be enjoyed throughout the day. Espresso is a

strong dark coffee with a distinctive caramel-

coloured froth, known as the “crema”. Espresso

coffee is best served in small “demi-tasse” cups.

Cappuccino is a creamy, smooth coffee which can

be enjoyed at any time. The perfect cappuccino is

1/3 espresso, 1/3 hot milk and 1/3 frothed milk.

USING THE FIRST TIME

Before making coffee for the first time it is neces-

sary to wash all of the accessories and the internal

circuits of the machine as follows:

• for the filter coffee - make at least two carafes

of coffee, without using the ground coffee in

the filter (follow the instructions in the para-

graph “How to prepare filter coffee”).

• For the espresso coffee - make at least four

cups of espresso coffee without using ground

coffee in the filter (follow the instructions in the

paragraph “How to prepare espresso coffee).

HOW TO PREPARE FILTER (DRIP) COFFEE

• Raise the lid and remove the water reservoir

(fig. 1).

• Fill the tank with cold, clean water, up to the

level indicated on the tank corresponding to

the number of cups of coffee that are desired

(fig. 2).

• Replace the tank into the machine by pressing

down firmly. If desired, the tank can be left in

the machine and the large carafe can be used

to fill it with water. The carafe also has water

level indicators on it.

• Open the filter holder by turning it towards the

left (fig 3) using the plastic tab under”open”.

• Place the permanent filter, into the filter holder

(fig. 4).

• Put the ground coffee into the filter by using the

measuring spoon included with the machine

and level off the grounds evenly (fig. 5). As a

general rule, use one level measuring spoonful

of coffee (about 7 grams) for each cup of cof-

fee (for example, use 10 measures to make 10

cups of coffee). In any case, the quantity of

ground coffee to use can vary according to the

strength desired and personal taste. Use high

quality ground coffee, with a medium grind

produced for filter coffee makers.

• Close the filter holder and place the large

carafe complete with lid onto the warming

plate.

• Select the filter coffee strength by turning the

“Flavour system” knob (fig 7). The coffee can

be programmed for a strong aftertaste

(STRONG position) or a weaker flavour (LIGHT

position). The “Flavour system” feature

changes the aftertaste of the coffee, while the

true taste of the coffee remains unchanged.

•Press the “ON/OFF” switch for drip coffee (fig.

6). The ON/OFF indicator light for drip coffee

above the switch itself indicates that the filter

machine is functioning properly.

• The brewed coffee will begin to drip out after

a few seconds. It is completely normal that

during the percolation of the coffee, some

steam may escape from the machine.

• If the “ON/OFF” switch for drip coffee is

pressed after the percolation, and the carafe is
