4. USING

Before using your espresso machine for the first time, clean all the accessories using warm water and a
gentle dishwashing liquid, and rinse well before replacing.
If you are not using the Claris cartridge, please refer to the paragraph below "RINSING OF YOUR
APPLIANCE".
A. INSTALLING THE CLARIS CARTRIDGE (to be done every time the cartridge is replaced)
Use the following procedure to install the Claris cartridge:
n Screw the Claris filter into the bottom of the water tank.
n Fill the water tank with water and replace it (fig.2 and 3).
n Turn the machine on by pressing the "On / Off" button (fig.4).
n Turn the switch to the "steam preheating" position. Once the light stops blinking, turn the switch back
to the "off" position.
n Repeat this last operation 2 more times.
n To make sure the Claris cartridge is full of water, place a container under the brewing head, turn the
switch to the "coffee" position and make sure that water runs through the brewing head and into the
container. If water does not run through the brewing head, repeat the above procedure.
n In this manner you can be sure that water is circulating through the filter cartridge.
IMPORTANT:
This installation procedure must be carried out every time the cartridge is
replaced.
The Claris cartridge needs to be replaced every 2 to 3 months if it is used daily.
B. RINSING YOUR APPLIANCE (to be done before the first use and after each cleaning /
descaling operation)
- RINSING OUT THE ESPRESSO CIRCUIT
n Open the lid and remove the water tank using the handle (fig.1).
n Fill it with water (fig. 2).
n Replace the water tank by positioning it firmly, to ensure the water inlet is in place, and close the lid
(fig.3).
n Turn the appliance on by pressing the "On / Off" button (fig.4).
n Insert the filter holder (without ground coffee) in the appliance (fig.7).
n Place a container of sufficient volume under the filter holder.
n Once the appliance has reached the right temperature, the light will stop blinking. Turn the switch to
the "coffee" position (fig.8) and let all the water in the tank run through.
n If necessary, stop the operation by turning the switch to the "off" position (fig.9) to empty the container
and resume the operation.
