Grounds should not be kept for long periods of time as the flavor will be reduced over time.
Do not fill your filter holder to the brim. Using the measuring spoon included, use 1 level spoon of
grounds per shot of espresso.
If you do not use the machine for more than 5 consecutive days, rinse and drain the water tank.
Before removing the water tank to fill or empty it, always turn the machine off.
Always place the unit on a flat, stable, heat-resistant work surface.
To obtain an espresso at exactly the right temperature, we recommend that you preheat your cups.
To prolong the life of your machine, we recommend you use a Claris Aqua Filter System F088 cartridge
(accessory not included) and that you descale the machine at regular intervals.
IMPORTANT!
Before using for the first time, after a prolonged period of inactivity or after
descaling, the machine must be cleaned as described in Section 4: "BEFORE FIRST
USE".

4. BEFORE FIRST USE

Before using your espresso machine for the first time, clean all accessories using warm water and a gentle
dishwashing liquid, and rinse well before replacing. If you are not using a Claris cartridge, skip the "Claris
Cartridge Set-up" section and start with "Priming of your machine". Please note it is strongly
recommended that you use a Claris cartridge to extend the life of your machine and improve the flavor of
your espresso.
CLARIS CARTRIDGE SET-UP:
Use the following procedure to install the Claris cartridge:
Screw the Claris filter into the bottom of the water tank.
Fill the water tank with water and replace it (fig.2 and 3).
Turn the machine on by pressing the "On / Off" button (fig.4).
Turn the switch to the "steam preheating" position. Once the light stops blinking, turn back the switch
to the "off" position.
Repeat this last operation 2 more times.
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.
PRIMING OF YOUR MACHINE:
Use the following procedure to prime the machine:
Open the lid and remove the water tank by lifting up on the handle (fig.1).
Fill it with water (fig. 2).
Replace the water tank by positioning it firmly, to ensure the water inlet is in place, and close the lid
(fig.3).
Press the on/off button to turn the machine on (fig.4).
Insert the filter holder (without espresso grounds) in the machine and turn to the right (fig.7).
Place a container under the filter holder large enough to hold all the water in the water tank.
Once the machine has reached the correct temperature, the on/off button will stop blinking. Turn the
dial to the "coffee" position (fig.8) and let all the water in the tank run through.
If the container you are using has a smaller capacity than the water tank, turn the dial back to the "off"
position to pause the water flow when necessary. Empty the container, replace under the filter holder,
