Area of use and intended use
The espresso coffee machine is designed for: the preparation of espresso
coffee through the appropriate dispensers, the heating of the milk to prepa-
re cappuccino by supplying steam from the special nozzle according to the
procedures described below. Any other use is to be considered improper and
therefore dangerous.
Transport and handling
WARNING: IMPACT OR CRUSH HAZARD
Take the necessary precautions to avoid losing control of the appliance du-
ring handling as its fall could cause damage to people, animals, things or
the equipment itself could be damaged.
When handling the appliance while still being packaged make sure to respect
the word “TOP” on the packaging.
Do not turn the appliance upside down during handling.
The operator must make sure that during handling there are no persons,
things or objects in the area of operation.
Handle with care. Lifting must be done from the bottom; do not lift by levering
on protruding parts of the machine especially the knobs or levers.
Proceed with the loading after checking that there are no obstacles, things
or people.

56 |
Do not perform this operation alone.
We recommend the appliance to be handled by two persons. The manufacturer
cannot be held liable for damage caused by improper handling or failure to
comply with the aforementioned rules.
2. Preparations for installation
The appliance must be placed on a surface that can guarantee a safe support
of the equipment.
FOR THE WATER SUPPLY VERSION: When preparing the systems provide
an opening (A fig.1a) of at least 10x10 cm on the support surface in order to
carry out the connections with the systems in the below space (B fig.1a). The
water pressure must be between 0.1 and 0.6 MPa. Consult the manufacturer
in the absence of this last requirement.
A shut-off valve (1 fig.1a) must be installed between the water mains and
the water supply pipe of the machine in order to close the water passage in
case of need.
The appliance must be supplied exclusively with potable cold water in accor-
dance with and in compliance with national regulations.
Connect the appliance to a 16A socket. It is recommended to use a grounded
thermal-magnetic circuit breaker (automatic cut-out).

3. Set up and use of the appliance
NOTE
Before switching on (the machine must be disconnected from the power
grid) clean the external surfaces of the machine, wash the grids, filters, filter
holders, steam nozzles with dishwashing detergent and rinse thoroughly.
Carry out the following instructions by consulting the diagram shown in fig.2,
fig.1b for the JUG version and fig.1a for the WATER SUPPLY version.
• WATER SUPPLY VERSION: Open the water supply cock (1 fig.1a).
• JUG VERSION: Fill the machine tank as shown in punto 3.1.
• Connect the plug to the mains electricity.
• Turn on the main switch of the appliance (1 fig.2); then make sure the di-
splay is on.
• As soon as the appliance is switched on, the automatic self-level starts
filling the boiler until reaching the operating level.
• Once the loading phase is completed, the supply unit starts to heat up, and
the heating unit indicator light L1 will start to flash.
• At the end of the unit heating phase the value shown on the display will
stop flashing, showing the temperature value set in the unit and the other
parameters specified in paragraph 7.
• DISPLAY: At the same time, the boiler will start heating.
NOTE
In this manner it is already possible to brew from the unit and prepare the
espresso while all the functions connected to the boiler are inhibited.

60 |
• The value shown on the display will stop flashing at the end of the boiler
heating phase. The machine is then ready for use.
NOTE
Carry out a unit washing cycle as explained in paragraph 6 when the ma-
chine is ready for use and BEFORE using it.
NOTE
The above mentioned heating enabling sequence occurs only when the ap-
pliance is switched on after a total switch-off by means of the main switch.
This sequence does not require too much energy in the heating phase of the
appliance thus avoiding problems of overloading the electrical system of the
place of installation.
3.1 Jug filling instructions (jug version)
1. Before filling the jug switch off the appliance and disconnect the plug from
the mains.
2. Never fill the water tank with hot, boiling or sparkling water to avoid da-
maging the tank and the appliance.
3. Lift the panel 12 fig.2 to access the jug compartment.
4. Remove the silicone tube from the jug.
5. Lift the jug and remove it from the machine.
6. Fill the tank using potable water as explained in punto 3.2 paying attention
not to exceed the limit indicated by the word MAX.

| 61
7. Dry the jug.
8. Carefully reinsert the jug into the appropriate compartment of the espresso
machine making sure not to spill the water inside the machine.
9. Reinsert the silicone tube into the appropriate hole of the jug.
10. Reposition the panel 12 fig.2.
3.2 Water to use
It is recommended to use bottled mineral water with a low content of mineral
salts to prevent scale formations in the jug and in the hydraulic circuit of the
machine which lead to malfunctioning or blocking.
4. Espresso coffee brewing
NOTE
In order to always obtain a good coffee it is necessary to keep the filter holder
(10 fig.2) always inserted in the brew unit (9 fig.2) to always keep it at the
correct temperature.
To prepare the espresso coffee, follow the procedure below:
• Unhook the filter holder, making sure not to grip hot metal parts.
• Clean the filter inside the filter holder from any residual coffee.
• Then load the filter with fresh ground coffee at the right grinding point (1
dose of coffee for the single filter, 2 doses of coffee for the double filter).

62 |
• Press the coffee firmly with the special manual press supplied.
• Clean the edge of the filter from any coffee residues and hook the filter
holder to the brew unit.
• Place selettore S (8 fig.2) in the desired position, L1 for single coffee and
L2 for double coffee.
WARNING: BURN HAZARD
Avoid putting your hands under the brew unit during operation. Do not touch
the metal parts of the brew unit or of the filter holder as they may cause
burns.
5. Preparation of hot milk
Pour some milk into a jug with handle. Insert the steam pipe (4 fig.2) into the
jug and open the steam wand (5 fig.2) relative to the steam pipe used. Close
the steam wand wen the milk temperature reaches the desired one. As soon
as this last operation is completed, clean the steam pipe with a damp cloth to
prevent the formation of milk encrustation on the wand. Drain the steam on
the grid of the tray to clean the inside of the steam nozzle from any residual
milk, and use a damp cloth to protect against possible splashes.

| 63
NOTE
To obtain good quality milk cream it is necessary to perform a specific proce-
dure during heating. This procedure can be taught through training courses
and specific videos. The procedure is not described in this manual for safety
reasons.
WARNING: BURN HAZARD
Use the special insulating handle to maneuver the steam nozzle. Do not open
the steam wand without having inserted the steam pipe into the jug to avoid
possible burns. Do not direct the steam nozzle terminal toward yourself or
other people or animals. Make sure that there are no children in the imme-
diate vicinity of the espresso machine during the heating procedure.
Do not bring your face closer than 50 cm from the jug inside which the milk
is heating. Do not remove the nozzle from the jug without first having closed
the steam wand by bringing the steam lever back to its rest position. Do not
heat the contents of the jug beyond 50 gradi.
