power outlet.
It is mandatory that the socket be
compatible with the machine and
provided with a pole for earth connection.
Avoid the use of extension cords or
electrical adapters.

FIRST STARTING-STARTING AFTER A LONG
PERIOD
BE CAREFUL, BURN HAZARD: During
this procedure, the turbulence due to sudden heating water
may cause spills.
Lower the lever and close the brewing chamber (without
inserting the pod).
Place a roomy container above the grid at the dispensing
spout tip.
LOWER UNTIL
MECHANICAL STOP

Press the main switch of the machine and then the brewing
switch within a few seconds the water will flow out from
the dispensing spout.
Never press the switch for the supply before
lowering the lever (4).
When the water flows evenly, continue dispensing for at
least 5 seconds; then stop dispensing by pressing the
switch
Raise the lever and wait until the operating temperature is
reached, recognizable after turning off the light signaling
the heating element of the unit.
Lower the lever again, and rerun an extended dispensing
without the pod.
This procedure must be carried out and, if necessary,
repeated when the machine has not been used for a long
period.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
(BREWING ESPRESSO)
. Power the machine on, place a cup under
the spout tip and insert the pod into
the pod holder unit
Lower the lever to close the
pod within the brewing group.
In the final part of the
displacement resistance will
be felt more, go to the stop.
Press the dispensing button, after a few seconds espresso
will come out of the dispensing spout.
Upon reaching the desired amount, stop the flow by
pressing the button.
Now you can taste your espresso.
INSERT POD

Lift the lever up to the maximum excursion, so that the
unit will open and you can hand-retrieve the used pod
from the holder filter.
DO NOT dispose of the used pod into the environment,
but use the proper procedures for disposal according to
local Law.
If you dispense more espresso, while you insert the pod
BE VERY CAREFUL. DO NOT TOUCH THE SPOUT TIP !! IT
WILL BE EXTREMELY HOT (BURN HAZARD!).
NOTE: To maintain the brewing unit efficient and clean, it
is recommended to wash it periodically, by dispensing
water by pressing the button (1) without using any
espresso pod.
CLEANING
To keep the machine efficient and long-lasting only a few
small precautions are needed.
We recommend washing the unit periodically, supplying
water, pushing the button supply without using a pod (as
described in chapter FIRST STARTING).

TURN OFF THE MACHINE, PULL THE PLUG
FROM THE SOCKET AND WAIT UNTIL
COOL.
For hygiene purposes, wash water tank regularly and
replace the water inside. NOTE: The demineralizer filter has
a limited life. After about 60 liters of filtered water or at
most within 6 months of first use it must be replaced.
To replace it, simply disconnect the hose to the end.
Connect the hose to the new filter, house it in the tank,
taking care not to bend the tube in its path to avoid
bottlenecks.
Immediately after connecting the new water filter, turn on
the machine, without using pods, and supply at least 0.5L
of water. This will ensure the correct filling of water of the
new filter and the entire hydraulic circuit of the machine.
Clean the inside of the tank walls and water drip tray of
the machine.
Under no circumstances should the machine be
disassembled.
