Danger of Burns  
Never direct the steam/hot water wand towards yourself or others: Danger of scalding! Always  
use the handles or knobs provided.  
Machine Location - Suitable Location for Operation and Maintenance  
For best use, it is recommended to:  
Choose a safe, level surface, where there will be no danger of overturning it or being inju-  
red.  
Choose a location that is sufficiently well-lit, clean and near an easily reachable socket.  
Provide for a minimum distance from the sides of the machine as shown in the illustration.  
During machine turning on/off, it is recommended to place an empty glass under the dispen-  
sing spout.  
Do not keep the machine at a temperature below 0°C (32°F).  
Frost may damage the machine.  
Do not use the coffee machine outdoors.  
In order to prevent its housing from melting or being damaged, do not place the machine on  
very hot surfaces and close to open flames.  
Storing the Machine - Cleaning  
Before cleaning the machine, turn it off by pressing the ON/OFF button, and then switch the  
power button to “0. Remove the plug from the socket.  
Wait for the machine to cool down.  
Never immerse the machine in water!  
It is strictly forbidden to tamper with the internal parts of the machine.  
Water left in the tank for several days should not be consumed. Wash the tank and fill it with  
fresh drinking water.  
If the machine will not be used for a long time, dispense water from the steam wand, and care-  
fully clean the Pannarello (if supplied), then turn it off and unplug it.  
Store it in a dry place, out of the reach of children.  
Keep it protected from dust and dirt.  
Since the machine uses natural ingredients to brew beverages (fresh ground coffee, water, milk,  
etc.), some residues of coffee ground or condensed water would definitely be present on its  
supporting surface.  
For this reason we recommend to periodically clean both the visible parts of the machine and  
the area beneath it.  
Servicing / Maintenance  
In case of failure, problems or a suspected fault resulting from the falling of the machine, imme-  
diately remove the plug from the socket.  
Never attempt to operate a faulty machine.  
Servicing and repairs may only be carried out by authorized service centers.  
All liability for damages resulting from work not carried out by professionals is declined.  
Fire Safety Precautions  
In case of fire, use carbon dioxide (CO2) extinguishers. Do not use water or dry powder extin-  
guishers.

Water hardness measurement  
Intenza Water Filter  
To improve the quality of the used water,  
it is recommended that you install the  
water filter.  
The water hardness measurement is very  
important in order to correctly manage  
the“Intenza”filter and the frequency with  
which the machine must be descaled.  
Remove the water filter from its packag-  
ing, immerse it vertically (with the open-  
ings positioned upwards) in cold water  
and gently press its sides so as to let the  
air bubbles out.  
Remove the small white filter from the  
tank and store it in a dry place sheltered  
from dust.  
Immerse the water hardness test strip  
provided with the machine in water for  
1 second.  
Note: The test strip is only  
valid for one measurement.  
Check how many squares change colour  
and refer to the table.  
Set the Intenza Aroma System as specified  
on the box.  
The letters correspond to the references  
that are located in the base of the Intenza  
filter. The filter must be adjusted based on  
this measurement.
