First Start – Start after a long time
Fill the hydraulic circuit first.
Hook the filter holder to the coffee group and place a bowl on the
grid.
Switch on the machine by pressing the main switch.
If the water in the tank is enough, the boiler will start loading. Open
the steam knob () and keep it open until the boiler is full.
If the loading has been completed, the boiler starts heating. The
light on the frontal panel will signal it.
Move down the coffee lever and keep it down until 150 ml of water
is dispensed.
Note: If loading is not completed in a given time, it will be
automatically stopped. Check the water level, switch off the
machine and turn it on again.
Wait for the correct temperature. In a few minutes the manometer
will start indicating the rising pressure. When the temperature is
reached (manometer pointer is between 1.1 – 1.4 Bar), the light on
the frontal panel switches off.
WARNING: Be careful when handle the machine parts.
The filter holder, the coffee group, the steam wand
and the hot water wand could reach high
temperatures: RISK OF BURNS!
Once the boiler reaches the operating temperature, open the steam
knob and let the steam flow for at least 30 seconds. Put a bowl on
the grid and dispense 30 seconds of hot water with the water wand.
Finally, dispense 30 seconds of water from the coffee group.
The machine is ready

Coffee Dispensing
Depending on the filter holder you use, fill it with one or two doses
of coffee.

they compromise the hydraulic tightness and deteriorate the seal.
Remove them carefully before inserting the holder in the coffee
group.
Insert the filter holder in the coffee group.
Place cup(s) under the dispensing spout and move the lever down.
When coffee suffices, move the lever up to stop dispensing.
Remove the filter holder and empty it.
Hot Water Dispensing
Do not put your hands under the hot water wand and
do not touch it. Risk of burns!
Put a cup under the hot water wand. Rotate the water knob counter-
clockwise to open it, clockwise to close it.
Steam Emission
NOTE: Discharge condensation by opening the steam tap for few
seconds.
Use the grip while handling the steam wand.
Immerse the wand into the liquid you want to heat and gradually
rotate counterclockwise the steam knob to open the valve.
With the steam knob you can regulate the steam intensity.
Once the liquid is hot, close the steam valve (rotate the knob
clockwise).
Note: Carefully clean the steam wand after each use.

In order to obtain the milk foam, immerse the steam wand in the
bottom of the recipient (a truncated cone shape is suggested) not
too full. Open the steam valve. Move the recipient with small
vertical movements. Milk must not reach the boiling point.
Do not reheat milk twice, it might go off.
HIGH TEMPERATURES!
With the steam wand pointed toward the drip tray,
open the knob for some second to clean the residual
milk. Clean the steam wand with a soft cloth.
Softener Filter
Warning:
 Do not use the machine without filter
 Do not use limescale treatments or descaling products
 To ensure that the hydraulic circuit is always full, keep the filter
always immersed in water.
The filter autonomy suffices for approximately 5000 dispensing.
When exhausted, the filter must be replaced.
When a new filter is installed, the hydraulic circuit have to be
filled up. Dispense water (with the hot water knob or with the
coffee group lever) for 30 seconds or more.
