I m p o r t A n t S A F E G u A r D S
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, inclu-
ding the following.
•
•
Read all instructions carefully.
Make sure the voltage of your electrical system corresponds to the voltage shown on the
bottom of the machine.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
To protect against fire, electrical shock and personal injury, do not immerse cord, plug or
appliance in water or other liquid.
Keep the appliance out of the reach of children and do not leave appliance unattended
while in operation.
•
•
•
•
•
Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning.
Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or has
been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the nearest authorized service
facility for examination, repair or adjustment.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may result in
fire, electrical shock, or personal injury.
Do not use outdoors.
•
•
•
Make sure the power cord does not hang over the edge of the table or counter-top to avoid
getting accidentally caught or entangled.
•
•
•
Do not place the appliance or its electrical parts on or near electric stoves, cooking surfa-
ces, or gas burners.
Plug cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, first turn machine “off”, then remove plug
from wall outlet.
Do not use the appliance for other than the intended use. This appliance is to be utilized
for domestic use only. The manufacturer declines all responsibility for any damage caused
by improper, incorrect, or irresponsible use.
WArnInG: to reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not remove the cover or the exterior of the
unit. Don’t attempt to repair or modify the machine, doing so will void the warranty. repair should
be done by authorized service personnel only!
SAVE thESE InStruCtIonS
THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
Short CorD InStruCtIonS
A short power cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord.
Longer, detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is
exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical
rating of the appliance. If the appliance is provided with 3- wire, grounding type cord, the extension
should be a GROUNDING TYPE 3 - WIRE CORD. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will
not drape over the counter-top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
Your product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade
wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature.
If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still
fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose
of the polarized plug.

•
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.
The machine is, however, guaranteed to be
new.
You should customize water hardness as
soon as possible following the instructions
in the section “Setting water hardness” on
page 20.
Each time the appliance is turned on, it performs
an automatic preheat and rinse cycle which
cannot be interrupted.
•
The appliance is ready for use only after
completion of this cycle.
Danger of burns! During rinsing, a little
hot water comes out of the coffee spouts and is
collected in the drip tray underneath.
1. Plug the appliance into the power outlet and
(in models provided with main switch) place
the main switch on the back of the appliance
in the I position (fig. 1).
Avoid contact with splashes of water.

on the left side of the machine (fig. 5):
the message “Heating up... please wait” is
displayed.
When heating is complete, the message changes
to: “Rinsing”. As well as heating the boiler, this
also heats the internal circuits by circulating hot
water.
Follow the instructions indicated by the
appliance:
3. “FILL TANK!”: remove the water tank, fill to
the MAX line with fresh water then replace in
the appliance (fig. 3).
The appliance is at temperature when the

regulating the coffee mill
The coffee mill is preset in the factory to prepare
coffee correctly and should not require regulating
initially.
However, if after making the first few coffees
you find that delivery is either too fast or too
slow (a drop at a time), this can be corrected
by regulating the grinding adjustment knob (fig.
11).
Information:
•
•
While the machine is making coffee, delivery
can be interrupted at any moment by pressing
the lit cup icon.
For a hotter coffee, before delivery rinse the
appliance through by pressing the
and confirming with the OK icon. Hot water
flows out of the coffee spouts and heats the
internal circuit of the machine so that the
coffee delivered will be hotter.
For an even hotter coffee, heat the cups by
rinsing them with the hot water.
If the coffee is delivered in drops, too fast
and not creamy enough or too cold, read the
tips in the “Troubleshooting” section on page
22.

Cleaning the drip tray
Important! If the drip tray is not emptied
regularly, the water could overflow from the edge
and seep inside or around the machine. This
could damage the machine, the surface it rests
on or the surrounding area.
Cleaning the inside of the machine
1. Check regularly (about once a week) that the
inside of the machine is not dirty. If neces-
sary, remove coffee deposits with a dull knife
and sponge.
2. Remove the residues with a vacuum cleaner
(fig. 40).
The drip tray is fitted with a level indicator (red)
showing the level of water it contains (fig. 37).
Before the indicator protrudes from the cup tray,
the drip tray must be emptied and cleaned.
Cleaning the brew group
The brew group must be cleaned at least once
a month.
Important! The brew group (A8) must not
be removed when the appliance is on. Do not
attempt to use force to remove the brew group
as this could damage the machine.
To remove the tray:
1. Open the service door (fig. 35);
2. Remove the drip tray and the grounds
container (Fig. 36);
3. Empty the drip tray and grounds container
(A18) and wash them;
4. Replace the drip tray complete with grounds
container (A18);
5. Close the service door.
1. Make sure the machine is correctly turned
off (see Turning off, page 31).
2. Open the service door (fig. 35);
3. Remove the drip tray and grounds container
(fig. 36);
4. Press the two red release buttons inwards
and at the same time pull the brew group
outwards (fig. 41).
Cleaning the water tank
1. Clean the water tank (A13) regularly (about
once a month) with a damp cloth and a little
mild dish soap.
2. Clean to remove all soap residues, then rinse
the water tank thoroughly.
Important! Do not use detergents or liq-
uid soap to clean the brew group. The detergent
would remove the lubricant applied to the inside
of the piston, causing the brew group to seize up
and become unusable.
Cleaning the coffee nozzles
1. Clean the nozzle periodically using a sponge
5. Soak the brew group in water for about 5
minutes, then rinse under the tap.
6. After cleaning, replace the brew group by
sliding it onto the internal support and pin at
the bottom, then push the PUSH symbol fully
in until it clicks into place.
or cloth (fig. 38).
2. Check regularly that the holes in the coffee
spout are not blocked.
If necessary, remove coffee deposits with a
toothpick (fig. 39).
Cleaning the pre-ground coffee feed funnel
