The installer must read this manual
closely before start-up.
The operator should be an adult and
fully competent person.
Should any anomaly occur, please
contact your distributor.
Start-up
1. Check that the voltage is the same
as that indicated on nameplate of
the machine.
2. Fill the water tank with fresh water
(see figure 1). Check that the
water inlet tube is immersed in
the tank.
Figure 1
NB! We recommend using water
with a low mineral content. The
quality of the water will affect the taste
and quality of your coffee as well as
help avoid future malfunctions. Check
out our especial anti-lime scale filters
(optional).
3. Make sure that there is enough
water in the tank. Running the
machine without water may
damage the pump. Water levels
should be checked visually.
To reduce the risk of injury, do
not drape cord over the counter
top or table top where it can pulle
don by children or tripped over
unintentionally.
IMPORTANT:
UNO/DUO models. When turned
on for the first time, the machine
enters start-up mode. The pilot light
13
comes on and
6
flashes while
the machine heats up, until the right
temperature is reached. During this
process no service can be provided.
A.) Using the machine for the
first time or after a long interval.
Replacing the water in the circuit.
1. Turn the coffee maker on with the
general switch
1
in position (I).
2. Attach the empty filter holder
7
with a receptacle underneath.
3. Press the coffee switch
2
and let
approximately half a tank of clean
water flow through.
B.) PRIMING.
• If no coffee comes out.
• After a period without use.
• After generating steam.
• If the tank has been emptied.
In the DUO model, repeat point A).
In the UNO model, the priming
procedure should be carried out:
1. With the coffee maker on, turn on
the steam tap
4
.
2. Turn on the water function
14
and release some water (a cup)
through the steam wand
5
.
3. Turn off the water function
14
and
turn off the steam tap
4
. The
coffee maker is now ready to use.
UNO model only
C.) After producing steam, wait
5 minutes before making coffee.
Or carry out the priming operation,
but let the water flow (point B2) until
the temperature pilot light
6
stops
flashing.

3. Making coffee
Check your system: Ground, pod or
capsule.
Any type of coffee may be used,
ground or pod, thanks to the 5 filters
supplied: 2 ground filters (1- and
2-cup), 2 pressurised filters (1- and
2-cup Cream+) and 1 pod filter.
For optimal results, we advise using
ready mixes for espressos, as they
have the appropriate ground size for
use with ground filters. If the results
are not as expected, use pressurised
filters, which will give good results
regardless of ground size.
Regardless of the type of filter used
for ground coffee, and depending
on the whether the coffee comes out
quickly or slowly, we recommend
changing the type of coffee, the
ground size or experimenting with
compactness to suit your preference.
Figure 2BFigure 2A
Figure 3
If using ground coffee:
1. Turn on the machine, turning the
ON/OFF switch
1
to position
(I). Place the filter holder
7
(with
filter) in the group
8
.
2. UNO/DUO models. Wait for the
pilot light to come on
6
without
flashing. This takes approx 1.5
minutes. This shows that the water
has reached the right temperature.
Turn on the coffee switch
2
and
let water flow through the group.
Performing this procedure before
making coffee will eliminate
residues and establish the
temperature for optimal service.
3. The filter must be filled to 3/4 its
capacity, once the coffee has
been tamped down (see figure
2A).
4. Clean the coffee residues that
have been deposited on the
edges of the filter to ensure a
perfect fit.
5. Attach the filter holder
7
to the
group and
8
turn from left to
right, exerting sufficient pressure
at the end. (See figure 3).
6. Place the cup or cups on the tray
and turn on the coffee switch
2
.
7. When the coffee
NB! It is normal for the ground
coffee in the filter holder
7
to have
a liquid consistency if the filter holder
is immediately removed
7
after
delivery.

If pods or FAP-capsules are used:
Use the specific filter holder for
capsules or pods. Place the pod in

Pod (fixed filter holder)
Proceed as follows:
1. Follow Points 1 and 2, as in the
section for ground coffee.
2. Place a tablet on the filter holder
and turn it gently to the right as
far as it will go. Do not force it,
closure is smooth. (See figure 5).
3. Point 5, 6, 7 and notes as in the
previous section.
NB! Do not remove or turn the
filter holder while the water is running
through, as the machine is under
pressure at this time.
Figure 5
General tips:
1. The filter holder
7
should always
be fitted in the machine
8
to keep
it warm. In the closed position.
2. Only in UNO models. If the
coffee does not come out hot
enough, turn on the steam switch
3 for 10 seconds. This raises
the temperature of the machine.
increases the working pressure
and turning to the left reduces it.
3. Place the cups on the cup warmer
9
. Espresso is best at optimal
temperature (40°C/105°F). (See
figure 6)
4. The coffee will continue to drip out
for a few seconds after the coffee
is switched off.
NB! Tamping: To obtain
perfect espresso, the coffee should
be firmly tamped down.
NB! Pressure gauge: The
right working pressure depends on
the type of coffee and the ground
size. In all cases, a working pressure
of between 9 and 12 bar is adequate.
In the PID versions, the temperature is
shown on the screen
24
included for
this purpose.
NB! The machine›s maximum
working pressure can be adjusted
using the OPV
10
next to the coffee
group
8
.
To do this, use the blind filter fitted
in the filter holder
7
, attach it to
the group
8
and turn on the coffee
switch
2
. The pressure can be
adjusted by turning the OPV
10
using
a flat-head screwdriver. Turning it
to the right increases the maximum
working pressure and turning it to the
left reduces it.

PID models - Programming
the coffee dose
PID models have a coffee dose
control function, so that the amount
of coffee required can be adjusted
for both the available options (small
coffee, large coffee).
There is a 3-position
2
coffee switch
for this process. The two available
coffee selections are obtained by
turning the switch to the top or bottom
positions, while the midpoint turns off
the coffee function.
NB! The coffee switch
2
on the
two PID models is not a permanent
setting. Once the function has been
activated, it returns to its original
position. The switch does not have to
stay in the working position; once the
programmed amount of coffee has
been obtained, the function will stop
automatically.
To programme the dose at either
of the two selections, just turn the
switch to the desired position until
the required dose is obtained. On
releasing it, the dose will have been
programmed.
WARNING: To avoid the risk of injury,
do not open the brew chamber during
the brew process.
4. Making cappuccino
True ‘cappuccino’ contains 25
millilitres of espresso coffee and
125 millilitres of cold steam-
whipped milk, which goes from 3
or 4 degrees centigrade to nearly
55 degrees centigrade. .Use fresh
cow’s milk with a protein content of
over 3.2 percent and a fat content
of 3.5 percent. Whip only the amount
required for one cup in a steel jug
to prevent it from mixing with other
odours or tastes.
The density of the cream must
be uniform and there must be no
separation from the liquid, or holes
or bubbles.

NB! After each use it is
advisable to release steam for 5
seconds to clean the tube and
prevent blockage. You can use
a toothpick or clip to clean the

is free of obstructions.
NB! The steam generation
system includes a safety limit that
cuts off the service after 3 minutes of
continual operation.
Tips for making cappuccino.
1. TEXTURE: Obtaining cream
To obtain what is known as a
‘velvety’ consistency, place the
frother nozzle just beneath the
surface of the milk. To do this,
move the nozzle at different angles
(constantly under the surface of
the milk) to obtain an emulsion
with the circulating air. Once
textured, the milk may double its
volume. Remember to move the
jug and the steam nozzle very
close to the surface of the milk.
Upon completion of this operation,
the milk will be textured but still
cold.
2. TEMPERATURE: Heating the
milk
Once you have obtained the
texture, submerge the steam
nozzle as far as you can into the
jug. Move the jug in circles to
heat the milk until it reaches the
temperature you want.
NB! Texturing should be done
immediately beneath the milk’s
surface, while the nozzle should be
placed deeper for heating.
Texturing Heating
Once the milk is hot and textured, it
is ready to be served in the cup by
adding it to the espresso base.
Possible problems.
The cream may be too thin and lack
consistency.
1. One possible reason is that the
milk has already been heated.
The milk has been overheated (the
steam nozzle has been placed too
far into the jug and the milk has been
heated without allowing the air to
circulate on the surface) before the
required texture has been attained.
Step 1 (texturing) has not been
performed properly and the air
has not been allowed to work the
milk.

. Carry out
the reverse operation to obtain the
required water.
Remember: do not heat the milk to
over 75°C. Beyond this temperature
you will scald the milk and it will not
be suitable for cappuccino.
The espresso is released at 75-80°C.
The milk is textured and heated to
between 55-70°C. It is important
to maintain these temperatures for
serving. The cups should therefore
be warmed on the cup warmer. If this
is not possible, heat the cup with hot
water prior to use.

Recommendations for using Coffee
Washer:
To prevent lime-scale problems, you
can also use water treatment filters.
However, we recommend cleaning in
line with consumption. Use of filters
and Coffee Washer helps prolong the
life of the coffee machine in optimum
condition.
Internal cleaning (back flushing)
- blind filter. Weekly. Except pod
models (fixed filter holder).
Put the blind filter in the filter holder
and attach it to the machine. Press
the coffee switch. After 10 seconds,
press the switch to turn off the group.
Repeat the operation twice.
3. Cleaning of the steam unit on
DUO / DUO PID models.
