7. STARTING UP

7.1. Filling

(Fig. 2-8)
A) To be undertaken the first time:
 Open the tank cover, remove the bag which is
wrapped around softner "A" detach from the pipe
and soak in water for a few minutes, then rinse
under running water; any possible dark colour of
the same is normal and is due to residual humidity
of the softener.
Reconnect the water softener to the shorter rubber
pipe "C" and insert into the tank.
 Check that level "B" in inserted into its slot and
connect to the smaller pipe; if the sensor is not in
position the machine will not function.
 Pour about 2 litres of water into the tank (using
drinking water, preferably softened).
 Close the cover ensuring that the rubber pipe
"D" and the softener "A-C" touch the base of the
tank.
 Insert the plug into the electricity socket.
B) To be undertaken with each top up:
 When indicator light 2 (lack of water) comes on
switch off the machine by operating switch 1.
 Open the lid and pour about 2 litres of water into
the tank (use drinking water, softened if possi-
ble).
 Close the lid making sure that the rubber pipe "D"
and the softener "A-C" touch the bottom of the
tank.
 Switch on the machine with switch 1.
C) To be undertaken the first time, or after a long
period of machine inactivity:
 Detach the filter-holder 12, open the steam tap 6,
then press the general switch 1 together with the
coffee delivery button 3.
 When the water comes out of the steam pipe 7,
close the steam tap and allow water to escape
from unit 11 for a few seconds, then switch off the
coffee delivery button 3.
If water fails to come out after 30 seconds repeat
the operation.
 Hitch up the filter-holder 12 with filter inserted and
wait until the machine heats up and reaches the
correct temperature.
On using the machine for the first time, allow
about ½ a litre of water to go through the
machine in order to rinse the unit.

8. FUNCTION

8.1. Machine heating

 To be undertaken on starting up (machine cold)
 Press button 1
 Wait until the machine reaches working tempera-
ture (at least 10 minutes).

8.2. Coffee preparation and delivery

The machines come out of the factory with
a generalized grinding regulation; it should
therefore be regulated according to the actual
type of coffee used, using the relative devices
as follows :
A) Grinding regulation (Fig.5):
 With the coffee bean container empty, press the
regulation pin 15 and then rotate the container
itself 16 in a clockwise direction until it slightly
touches the grinders.
Then turn the container in an anti-clockwise di-
rection 16, but about 10 notches and then release
the regulation pin 15 therefore ensuring that it is
perfectly blocked.
Start up the motor using button 17 in order to
ensure that the grinders do not touch each other,
otherwise turn the container in an anti-clockwise
sense by approximately 2-3 notches.
Repeat the operation until the motor runs freely.
B) Ground coffee dosing
 By pressing the filter-holder against button 17 the
coffee grinding will start.
 After reaching the required dose, release the but-
ton.
On average every second corresponds to one
gram of ground coffee.
