USING THE COFFEE-MAKER FOR THE FIRST
TIME
Remove the packaging and take out the bag con-
taining the accessories. When the appliance is
new, the following accessories must be washed
with lukewarm water and detergent then rinsed
thoroughly: filter cup, measure, two filters. The
internal circuit of the coffee-maker must then be
pre-washed as follows:
Filling the tank
Raise the lid and pour fresh water into the tank
(fig. 1). On the models with removable tank for
easier filling, the tank can be extracted by pulling
upwards (fig. 2). Make sure that the pipes are
immersed when the tank is put back into place.
Pre-washing
a) Plug in at the power socket, remembering the
safety instructions.
b) Press the ON/OFF button (S) and coffee-
dispensing button (U). The ON/OFF indicator
light will come on (fig. 3). The pump will start
to “load water”. Wait until water starts to
come out of the boiler outlet, then turn off the
coffee-dispensing switch. After about 2 minu-
tes, the “OK” light will come on (fig. 4). This
means that the water (in the boiler) is at the
correct temperature.
c) Press the dispensing switch again for 10-15
seconds, allowing water to fall from the boiler
outlet (fig. 5), then turn off the switch.
d) To thoroughly pre-wash the circuit, perform
the above operation at least five or six times.
At this point the machine is ready for normal use.
Fitting the filter cup
To fit the filter cup onto the machine, place the cup
under the boiler outlet (fig. 6) then press upwards
and turn to the right as far as it will go.
MAKING ESPRESSO COFFEE
- Always use fresh water and keep the tank
clean.
- Before dispensing the coffee, always wait for
the OK light to come on: this indicates that the
water in the boiler has reached the ideal tem-
perature for coffee-making.
- The coffee cups, filter cup and the filters
should be heated before making the coffee.
The accessories can be heated with hot tap
water or in the following way:
- Turn on the machine by pressing the ON/OFF
switch (S).
- Insert the 1 or 2-cup filter, as required (fig. 7).
- Wait for the OK light to come on, press the
coffee dispensing switch (U) and let the hot
water heat the accessories.
- Turn off the dispensing switch, remove and
drain the filter cup, filter and coffee cups.
You are advised to also perform this opera-
tion (hot water dispensing with no coffee in
filter) if you want to make coffee after dispen-
sing steam. In this case, performance of an
“idle cycle” brings the machine to the ideal
temperature for making perfect coffee.
For best results, you are advised to use well-roa-
sted and suitably ground top quality coffee.
