When using for the first time
After unpacking the appliance, remove the plastic bag containing the accessories. All accessories (filter-
holder, measuring spoon, 3 filters) must be washed with detergent and lukewarm water, then rinsed tho-
roughly. Then the internal circuit should be washed as follows:
Filling the reservoir
- Remove the cover (D) and the tank (C) by lifting it upwards and, at the same time, lifting the intake
tubes (fig. 1).
- Rinse the tank and fill with cold water to the upper mark MAX (fig. 2) then replace the tank in its hou
sing, ensuring that the tubes are immersed in the water.
- Replace the cover.
Pre-wash
- Iinsert the plug into the power socket (do not forget the safety warnings).
- Press the ON/OFF switch (U) and the delivery switch (X). The ON/OFF pilot lamp will light (fig. 3)
and the pump will switch on. Wait until water begins to flow from the boiler outlet; then turn the deli-
very switch off. After about 2 minutes, the pilot lamp will light (fig. 4) to indicate that the water in
the boiler has reached the correct temperature.
- Press the delivery switch again for 10/15 seconds, allowing water to flow from the boiler outlet (fig.
5). Then turn the delivery switch off.
- To ensure perfect pre-washing, repeat procedure at least five or six times.
The machine is now ready for use.
Positioning the filter-holder
To insert the filter-holder in the machine, position it under the boiler outlet (fig. 6).
Then push the filter-holder upwards and at the same time rotate it towards the right as far as it will go.
Some suggestions
- Always use fresh water and keep the tank clean
- Top-quality beans, correctly roasted and ground will always produce the best coffee.
- Before making coffee, heat the cups under a hot water tap for a few moments.
Pre-heating of the machine
- In order to obtain a coffee at the right temperature, it is necessary to pre-heat the machine by keeping it on
for at least a half-hour before making coffee. During this time, it is necessary to leave the filter holder atta-
ched to the boiler. After a half-hour, as soon as the "OK" light turns on, the coffee can then be made with
pods or grinds as described below.
To speed up this operation, it is also possible:
- To turn the machine on by pushing the ON/OFF switch (U).
- To insert the filter holder in the boiler without coffee as described above and fill up cup(s) with water
- To wait until the light "OK" turns on (fig. 4) and press the delivery switch (X), and fill up cup(s) with
water.
- Then empty the water from the cup(s) and from the filter holder.
From now on, you can make coffee with pods or with ground coffee, following instructions given:
