Make sure the machine is cold. Unscrew the machine by holding the carafe (C) with one hand and by turning the boiler (G)
anti-clockwise with the other. Remove the funnel lter (F) and ll the boiler with water until the safety valve (L) seen inside
the boiler is reached (Fig. 2). Do not go past the safety valve.

Pay utmost attention so that the water does not dampen the exterior of the boiler. Prevent inltrations of water inside
electrical parts.
Never ll the boiler with hot or boiling water.
Do not use the coffee maker with barley coffee.
Put the funnel lter (F) inside the boiler (G). Fill the funnel lter with ground coffee without pressing it. Fill it a bit at a time
to prevent the ground coffee from spilling over. Evenly distribute the coffee and remove any excess ground coffee from the
edge of the lter.

All operations must be performed when the machine is cold.
The boiler (G) and power supply base (H) can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive detergents or metallic
utensils.
When you remove the seal (E) and disc lter (D) for cleaning or replacement, make sure you correctly put them back in
place so as to prevent splashes or spurts of hot water. Check that the holes of the disc lter are not clogged and if so, clean
them with a small brush (Fig. 4).
When the seal and disc lter show signs of wear or deterioration, they have to be replaced. Use original spare parts that can
be purchased at authorised service centres.

A layer of lime may form on the bottom of the boiler over time, after numerous pots of coffee have been made; this may
lead to a longer percolation time. To remedy this problem, it is necessary to periodically eliminate this layer of lime with a
descaling process.
Use proprietary coffee machine descaling products found on the market (citric acid, for example).
Follow these directions to descale:
Make sure the coffee machine is cold and unscrew it.
Fill the boiler with the descaling product and wait half an hour.
Make sure the interior of the boiler is thoroughly clean.

Problems Causes Solutions
The coffee does not
come out
There is no water in the boiler. Repeat the operation by putting the right amount of water
into the boiler.
Coffee comes out from
the edges of the boiler.
Probably too much ground coffee
was put in the funnel lter, and it
prevented the boiler from being
completely tightened to the
carafe.
Repeat the operation by putting the right amount of coffee
into the funnel lter.
Residue of ground coffee is on
the seal.
Clean the seal with a toothpick or a sponge.
The exit holes of the disc lter
(D) are clogged.
Turn off the machine. Unplug it from the socket-outlet.
Use gloves or rags. Wait for the machine to cool down.
Unscrew the boiler from the carafe. Remove the lter from
the carafe. Clean the clogged disc lter (Fig. 4) holes
using using a small brush or pin.
The seal is burnt or torn Replace the seal.
The carafe has not been tight-
ened to the boiler.
Screw the carafe onto the boiler tightly. Do not prize the
handle.
The coffee is not sup-
plied or ows too slowly.
The exit holes of the disc lter
(D) are clogged.
Turn off the machine. Unplug it from the socket-outlet.
Use gloves or rags. Wait for the machine to cool down.
Unscrew the boiler from the carafe. Remove the lter from
the carafe. Clean the clogged disc lter (Fig. 4) holes
using using a small brush or pin.
The coffee blend is ground too
ne.
Try using coarser coffee blends.
The coffee blend is pressed
down too much.
Put a smaller amount of coffee into the funnel lter.
Lime has formed on the bottom
of the boiler.
Descale as instructed in the paragraph “Cleaning the
appliance”.
The coffee is too watery
and cold.
The blend has been ground too
coarsely.
A more nely ground blend must be used to obtain a more
concentrated and hotter coffee.
Too much water has been put
inside.
Repeat the operation by putting the right amount of water
into the boiler. Up to the safety valve if the four cups of
coffee funnel lter is used. Beneath the safety valve if the
two cups of coffee adaptor disc is used (Fig. 2).
