close the knob. The machine is now drained.

Important: It is advisable to drain the machinebefore the first start, after a prolonged use orwhenever the water tank has been completelyemptied.Furthermore, should temperature or water tank

warning lights blink, drain the machine.

The machine is ready for use as soon as thetemperature light is on.

Programming the machine

27 To enter the programming mode, turn themachine off with the main switch.Press steam , espresso coffee and themain switch at the same time.Release the buttons.

Water hardness adjustmentIn order to adjust the water hardness, it is neces-sary to test the water using the strip supp lied withthe machine.Dip the strip into the water for a second, shake offexcess water gently, wait approx. 1 minute andread the result.

The tall coffee button allows a water hardnessadjustment from 1 to 4.Each time the key is pressed, the value increasesby 1.

Never fill the coffee bean containerwith other products! (They might

damage the machine!)

Before filling the container with coffeebeans, make sure the pre-ground

coffee container is closed to prevent coffee grainsfrom falling into it (they might damage the ma-chine).

Remove the water tank (8) from the machine,remove its cover (9) and fill it with cold water(approx. 2.4 l).A valve on the tank bottom prevents water fromescaping.

might damage the tank.

Do not switch on the machine if thewater tank is empty: always make

sure there is enough water in the tank!

Connect the plug to the socket and press the mainswitch.When the switch is turned on (green colour), theelectronic circuit carries out a self-diagnosis. Thisphase could make some noise.

30 DRAINAGE 31 RECOMMENDATIONS

As soon as value 4 has been reached, the counterresets and restarts from 1.As far as lime scale values are concerned, seepage 37, points 45-48.

P r e -Gr i nd i ngThe coffee grinder is activated by pressing thebutton of the heating plate .When this button lights up, the coffee grinder hasbeen activated.

Grinding occurs every time the doser is empty,thus a ground coffee portion is always ready in thedoser, saving time.

P r e - I n f u s i o nThe regular coffee button activates ordisactivates the dispensing of coffee, as shown bythe lit button.

As soon as the coffee has been moistened, thepump stops for two seconds. Then the brewingcycle continues.

Coffe dosage adjustment

28 Adjustment lever (19) allows the selection ofthe coffee quantity, from 6 to 9 grams.Open the service door (15) and place the

adjustment lever (19) in the desired position.

Note: Opening the service door causes themachine to stop automatically. Close the door torestart the machine.

Coffee dosage must not be changedfrequently, otherwise the coffee dis-

penser may get damaged, thus spoiling thquality of coffee.

Recommenda t ions

Te s tIf the machine has not been used for a prolongeperiod, it is advisable for hygienic reasons to rua rinse cycle through the machine.

Place a cup under the dispensing tube (5) anoperate the steam/hot water knob (6). Fill a cuwith water.

Preheat ing cupsCups may be preheated by placing them on thheating plate.

Temperature warning l ightWhen connecting the machine, the green warn

ing light will light permanently after approx. twminutes, showing the machine is ready to bused.

Empty coffee bean container warninl i gh tWhen this led is on, the coffee grinder stops.Fill the container with coffee bean and restart thcycle.

Empty water tank warning l ightAn empty water tank causes the cycle to sto

automatically.Fill the tank with water. It is of the utmoimportance to drain the circuit before restarting thmachine.It is not possible to start programming withoucarrying out the drainage.When restarting the machine, make sure the rewarning light is not blinking or is of f.



Double quantity of coffee or 2 cups of coffee.By pressing the desired selection button twice,the machine will brew a double quantity ofcoffee.

Bean coffee29 This machine grinds a portion of fresh coffeefor each cup; for two cups, it grinds two portions

of coffee, one after the other, thus ensuringoptimum coffee quality.

Before any use, make sure the steam/hot water knob is closed.

Adjust the desired grinding degree: the recom-mended average value is 5.

The grinding degree must be adjustedonly when the coffee grinder is

operating, otherwise it may be damaged.

Place one or two preheated cups on the grill (3)under the dispenser (4).By pressing the relevant selection button themachine will automatically dispense the selectedcoffee.

The coffee flow can be stopped at any momentby pressing any selection button (except thoserelevant to the heating plate and steam).This operation can be performed, for instance, ifan excessive quantity of water has been se-lected.

Pre -ground coffeeMake sure to use pre-ground coffeeonly (medium ground).

Never use whole bean or soluble coffee!

Right before making coffee, fill thecontainer with freshly ground coffee.

32 BREWING 33 BREWING

Gr i ndIf the coffee flows too quickly (coarse grind) or tooslowly (fine grind) into the cup, adjust the coffeegrinder.

Recommended grind level: position 5Grind too coarse= adjust to a lower value (from 5to 3)Grind too fine= adjust to a higher value (from 5 to

7).

Adjust the grind level only when thecoffee grinder is running.

Avoid extreme adjustment (for instance, on posi-tion 1) whenever possible.It is preferable to try another coffee blend, be-cause not all coffee blends are suitable.

CoffeeMake sure coffee is fresh.An espresso roast is preferable in order to obtaina strong and aromatic espresso coffee, use spe-

cial blends suitable for espresso coffee machinesand special cups with thick sides.Keep coffee in a cool place, in a hermeticallysealed container.Coffee may be deep frozen and then groundeither fresh or frozen.

Water quali tyIn addition to blend, grind and water tempera-ture, the water quality is of the utmost importancefor the brewing of a good coffee.Thus, the use of a decalcifier to remove limescaleand eliminate any unpleasant taste and organicimpurities from the water, is strongly recom-mended.Furthermore, a decalcifier partially eliminateslimescale from water, thus protecting the ma-chine heating system from chemical buildup andprolonging its working life.The water tank must be emptied daily and filledwith fresh water.

Operat ion t imeThe machine may be kept on all day long.However, should the machine not be used for aprolonged period, it is advisable to turn it off.Once switched on, it will be ready for use withintwo minutes.

Switching off the machineSwitch the machine off only after the coffee cycle

has been concluded.

B r ew i ng

Cup level adjustmentThis machine allows the precise dosage of thecoffee quantity, according to the cup dimension.

The cup levels have been pre-set at the factoryaccording to the following values:

espresso coffee: 60 mlregular coffee : 125 m l

tall coffee: max. 250 ml.

Cup level settingEx. espresso coffee.When the machine is ready, press and keeppressed the espresso coffee button and waituntil the desired quantity of coffee has flown intothe cup.Upon releasing the button, the level is automati-cally saved, thus always allowing to obtain thesame quantity of coffee.Use the above mentioned procedure also tochange or adjust the quantity of water either forregular or tall coffee.The quantity for two cups of coffee will beautomatically adjusted according to the singlecup level.

Use the quantity necessary for the number of cupto be obtained.Always remember that ground coffee ages soonthus losing its quality.

30 Use the measuring spoon supplied to fill thcontainer with ground coffee (14).Use a full measure only!

Do not tamp ground coffee, otherwisthe optimum dosage for eac

cup is no longer ensured.

Then, press the pre-ground coffee selection buton and the desired selection button (epresso, regular or tall coffee) to obtain a cup ocoffee.

The coffee flow may be stopped at anmoment by pressing any selection button (ecept those of the heating plate and steam), if, foinstance, an excessive quantity of water ha

been selected.

Hot waterThe hot water dispensing is separate from thcoffee circuit, in order to supply hot water for teasoup etc.

31 Place the glass or the cup under the steam/hot water dispenser (5), then slowly open kno(6), turning it counterclockwise.Hot water will be automatically dispensed. Asoon as dispensing is over, close knob again

S t e amTo heat milk or other drinks.

Desca l ingDescaling is necessary to remove limescale from

surfaces and holes, thus ensuring a perfectoperation of valves, heating controls and otherimportant parts.

According to water hardness, the machine mustbe descaled every 3-4 months, according to thewater hardness degree.A more frequent descaling is recommendedwherever the water hardness degree is veryhigh.

This machine is supplied with a particular warn-ing light to make this operation easier.

Descaling must be carried out at the latest whenthis warning light switches on.Furthermore, said warning light may be adjustedaccording to the water hardness degree.The machine has been adjusted at the factory toa 25°fH value, which causes the warning light

to switch on after approx. 150l.The water hardness value may be changed, if

necessary, following the instructions shown onpage 30.

The following adjustments are possible:45 Hardness index 1: high water hardness,exceeding 29°fH (14°dH), approx. 80 l waterpassage.46 Hardness index 2: medium water hard-

ness, approx. 20-29°fH (7-14°dH), approx.150 l water passage.47 Hardness index 3: soft water, approx. 12-20°fH (47°dH) approx. 300 l water passage.48 Hardness index 4: very soft water, less than10°fH (3°dH), more than 500 l of water pas-sage.

In case of hard water, a filter should be used bothto improve the coffee quality and to protect themachine, thus reducing the descaling frequency.

Descaling must be carried out as follows:

Note: for this purpose, use a descaling productsuitable for coffee machines.Never use vinegar to clean the machine; it might damage it.

There are two ways to carry out the descaling ofthe machine:

Automatic descalingTurn the machine off.Pour descaling solution into the water tank(according to the instructions on the descaling

solution package).Switch the machine on to the programmingmode (see page 30, point 27).Place a large container under the steam/hotwater dispensing tube (5) and open the steam/hot water knob (6) slowly.The contents of the tank are pumped quicklythrough the machine, saving time.

Standard descalingSwitch off the machine.Pour a descaling product into the water tan(according to the instructions on the descalinsolution package).Switch the machine on to the programminmode. Place a large container under the steamhot water dispensing tube (5) and open thsteam/hot water knob (6) slowly, turning

counterclockwise.Turn on the machine by pressing the main switc(31) and let the descaling product flow out of thdispensing tube for approx. 1 min.Close the knob again.Turn off the machine with the main switch and lethe solution take effect for approx. 5 minutesRepeat this procedure two or three times, tallow all of the descaling product in the watetank to flow out of the dispensing tube.As soon as descaling has been carried out, rinsthe tank (8) thoroughly and fill it with fresh wateSwitch on the machine and let fresh wate

(approx. 2 l) flow out of the steam/hot watedispensing tube in order to rinse away residue

The machine is now ready for operation.

When the machine is on, the warning ligswitches off automatically, by pressing the steamselection button for at least 5 seconds.
