type by a qualified professional.
The power cable on this appliance must not be replaced by the user as this operation requires the use of
special tools. If the cable is damaged or requires replacing, contact an authorized service center only to
avoid all risks.
•
•
You should personalize water hardness as soon as possible following the instructions in section 17.6.
Coffee has been used to factory test the appliance and it is therefore completely normal for there to be
traces of coffee in the mill. This appliance is, however, guaranteed to be new.
To learn how to operate the appliance correctly, when you use it for the first time, follow the step-by-step
instructions given in the following sections.
4 USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
1. The first time you use the appliance, select the language.
To set English, plug the appliance into the outlet and wait for the appliance to display:
PRESS OK TO INSTALL ENGLISH
Press the OK button (fig. 1) for at least three seconds until you hear a BEEP and the display shows:
ENGLISH INSTALLED
The appliance then displays the setting message in English. If you select the wrong language by mistake,
follow the instructions in section 18 to choose the right one.
2. After 5 seconds, the appliance displays:
FILL TANK
To fill, remove the water tank (fig. 2), rinse and fill with fresh water. Never exceed the MAX line.
Put the water tank back and push as far as it will go.
3. Place a cup under the hot water spout (fig. 3). If the water spout is not in place, INSERT WATER SPOUT is dis-
played. Attach it as shown in figure 4; making sure the arrow on the spout is lined up with the arrow on
the control panel of the appliance, (fig. 4). The appliance now displays:
PRESS OK
4. Press the OK button (fig. 1). A little water will run from the spout (running water stops automatically).
5. The appliance now displays:

IMPORTANT: To prevent malfunction, never fill with ground coffee, freeze dried coffee, caramelized beans
or anything else which could damage the appliance.
9
C o l l e c t i o n
5 TURNING ON AND PREHEATING
1. Press the
button (fig. 6). The appliance displays:
HEATING UP PLEASE WAIT...
to indicate preheating is underway.
2. Once preheating is completed, the appliance displays
RINSING
PLEASE WAIT...
and performs an automatic rinse cycle (a little hot water runs from the spouts and is collected in the drip
tray below).
Tip: If you want a short coffee (less than 2 oz), to make it hotter, fill the cup with this hot rinsing water first.
Leave it for a few seconds then empty it to preheat the cup.
3. The appliance now displays the ready message:
READY Regular TASTE
6 PREPARING COFFEE (USING COFFEE BEANS) AND USEFUL TIPS
1. The appliance is preset to make coffee with a regular taste. You can also choose coffee with a mild, extra-
mild, strong or extra-strong taste. To choose the required taste, press the
selected coffee taste will be displayed.
OK button (fig. 1). The
2. Place 1 cup under the spouts to make 1 short coffee (fig.7) or 2 cups for 2 short coffees (fig.8). For a creami-
er coffee, lower the spouts to bring them as close to the cups as possible (fig. 9).
3. Press one of the coffee buttons (fig. 10): the
button to make a short coffee or the
button for a long
coffee. To make 2 coffees, press the two short coffees button
or the two long coffees button
.
To change the quantity of coffee delivered automatically into the cup, follow the instructions in sec-
tion 7.
(The appliance now grinds the beans and starts brewing the coffee into the cup. Once the desired quanti-
ty has been reached, the appliance automatically stops delivering the coffee and ejects the grounds into
the coffee grounds container.)
4. After a few seconds, the ready message is displayed again and you can make another coffee.
5. To turn the appliance off, press the
button.
(Before going off, the appliance performs an automatic rinse cycle: a little hot water runs out from the
spouts and is collected in the drip tray beneath. Take care to avoid scalds).
NOTE 1: If the coffee is delivered a drop at a time or not at all, turn the grinding coarseness regulator (fig.11) one
click toward the number 7 (see section 8).
Turn one click at a time until the coffee is delivered adequately.
NOTE 2: If the coffee is delivered too fast and is not creamy enough, , turn the grinding coarseness regulator (fig.
11) one click toward the number 1 (see section 8). Avoid turning the grinding coarseness regulator excessive-
ly; otherwise when you select 2 cups, the coffee may run out in drips. Mill should only be adjusted while run-
ning to prevent jamming.
NOTE 3: Tips to make hotter coffee:
•
•
•
When you turn the appliance on, if you want to make a short coffee (less than 2 oz.), use the hot rinse-
through water to preheat the cups.
If more than 2-3 minutes have passed since you last made coffee,before making coffee again you must pre-
heat the infuser by pressing the button
(fig.12).
Run off the water into the underlying drip tray or alternatively use this water to fill (and then empty) the
cup to be used for the coffee, so as to preheat it.
•
•
Unless preheated, do not use cups that are too thick, as they will absorb too much heat.
Use cups that have been preheated by rinsing them with hot water or by leaving them for at least 20 min-
utes on the cup warmer tray on top of the appliance with the appliance on.
NOTE 4: While the appliance is making the coffee, delivery can be stopped at any time by pressing the cof-
fee button previously selected (fig.10).
10
C o l l e c t i o n
NOTE 5: As soon as delivery is complete, to increase the quantity of coffee, simply press and hold the coffee
button previously selected (fig. 10), until the desired quantity is reached (this operation must be performed
within 3 seconds from when coffee delivery from the spouts ceases).
NOTE 6: When the appliance displays:
FILL TANK
(and emits a double BEEP), the water tank must be refilled or the appliance will not make coffee.(It is normal for
there to be a little water left in the tank when the message is displayed.)
NOTE 7: The appliance counts the number of coffees made. Every 14 single coffees (or 7 doubles) the appli-
ance displays:
EMPTY GROUNDS CONTAINER
(and emits a double BEEP), indicating that the grounds container is full and must be emptied and cleaned. Until
the grounds container has been cleaned, the appliance continues to display the message and cannot make
coffee.
To clean, open the service door at the front by pulling the handle (fig. 13), remove the drip tray (fig. 14), empty
and clean.
Empty the grounds container and clean thoroughly, making sure all residue deposited on the bottom is
removed.
IMPORTANT: When removing the drip tray, the grounds container MUST be emptied, even if it is not completely full.
If this is not done, when making your next coffee, the grounds in the container may exceed the maximum level and
block the appliance.
NOTE 8: While the appliance is delivering coffee, never remove the water tank. If it is removed, it will not be
possible to make the coffee and the appliance will display:
GROUND TOO FINE ADJUST MILL AND
INSERT WATER SPOUT AND PRESS OK
To turn the appliance on again, you must insert the hot water spout (fig. 4), press the OK button and run off
water from the spout for a few seconds.
When using the appliance for the first time, 4-5 cups of coffee need to be made before the appliance
starts to give satisfying results.
If the appliance malfunctions, do not contact the service center right away.
The problem can almost always be resolved by following the instructions indicated in sections 19 and 20.
If this is not the case, or for further explanations, contact customer service by calling the number listed in the
11
C o l l e c t i o n
7 CHANGING THE QUANTITY OF COFFEE IN THE CUP
The appliance is factory preset to automatically deliver the following quantities of coffee:
-
-
-
-
one short coffee (when the
one long coffee (when the
two short coffees (when the
two long coffees (when the
button is pressed);
button is pressed);
button is pressed);
button is pressed);
To change these quantities, proceed as follows:
-
Press the button
(or
or
or
) corresponding to the quantity you want to change
for at least 8 seconds, then release until the message "PROGRAM QUANTITY" is displayed and coffee is
delivered.
-
When the coffee in the cup reaches the required level, press the same button again to memorize the new
amount. The appliance emits a double beep to confirm.
The appliance is now re-programmed with the new settings and displays: READY.
8 REGULATING THE COFFEE MILL
The coffee grinder is preset in the factory to prepare coffee correctly and should not require regulating initial-
ly.
However, after making the first coffees, if you find that coffee delivery is either too fast or too slow (in drips),
the grinding coarseness regulator can be adjusted (fig. 11).
Turning it 1 click (1 line) toward the number 7 speeds up coffee delivery (without drips).
Turning it 1 click toward the number 1 slows down delivery, giving a creamier appearance to the coffee.
These adjustments will only be evident after at least 2 cups of coffee have been brewed.
The grinding coarseness regulator must only be turned when the coffee mill is running.
Turn one click toward the number 1 to obtain finer ground coffee,
slower delivery and a creamier appearance.
Turn one click toward the number 7 for coarser ground coffee and
faster delivery (not a drop at a time).
9 PREPARING ESPRESSO COFFEE WITH GROUND COFFEE (INSTEAD OF BEANS)
Coffee has been used to factory test the appliance and it is therefore completely normal for there to be
traces of coffee in the mill. This appliance is, however , guaranteed to be new.
•
Select the ground coffee function by pressing the
/OK button (fig. 1) repeatedly until
READY - PRE-GROUND COFFEE
flashes on the display. This disables the coffee mill function.
Lift the central lid, place one level measure of ground coffee in the funnel (see fig. 15) and proceed as
described in section 6. NOTE:You can make just one coffee at a time by pressing the or button.
•
•
Once the coffee has been delivered, to go back to making coffee using beans, deactivate the ground cof-
fee function by pressing the /OK button, and the coffee mill is enabled for operation again.
NOTE 1: Never add the ground coffee when the appliance is off to avoid it being dispersed inside the appli-
ance.
NOTE 2: Never add more than one level measured scoop; otherwise either the appli-
ance will not make the coffee and the ground coffee will be lost inside the appliance,
dirtying it, or the coffee will run off in drips and the message “LESS COFFEE” will be dis-
played.
NOTE 3: When measuring the quantity of coffee to be added, use the measuring scoop supplied only.
12
C o l l e c t i o n
NOTE 4: Use ground coffee for espresso coffee makers only. Do not use coffee beans, freeze-dried coffee or
other materials that could damage the appliance.
NOTE 5: If you add more than one measure of ground coffee and the funnel blocks, use a knife to push the cof-
fee down (fig. 16), then remove and clean the infuser and appliance as described in section 16.2 "Cleaning the
infuser".
