SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
-Ashort power cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over
a longer cord.
-Longer, detachable power supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is
exercised in their use.
-If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating should be at least as great as the electrical
rating of the appliance. If the appliance is provided with 3- wire, grounding type cord, the extension
should be a GROUNDING TYPE 3 - WIRE CORD. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will
not drape over the counter-top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
-Your product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one blade
wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If
you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail
to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug.

To learn how to operate the appliance correctly, when you use it for the first time, follow the step-by-step
instructions given in the following paragraphs.
4 USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
1. The first time you use the appliance, select the language.
To set English, plug the appliance into the mains socket and wait for the appliance to display:
PRESS OK TO select ENGLISH
Press the button for at least 3 seconds until the appliance displays:
ENGLISH selected
The appliance then displays the setting message in English.
2. After a few seconds, the appliance displays:
FILL TANK
To fill, remove the tank (fig. 1), rinse and fill with fresh water. Never exceed the MAX line.
(When removing the tank, the cappuccino frother must always be positioned towards the center of the
appliance, otherwise the tank cannot be removed).
Put the tank back and push as far as it will go.
3. The appliance now displays:
TURN the STEAM KNOB

10
Move the cappuccino frother outwards (fig. 2) and place a cup underneath it.
Turn the steam knob anticlockwise as far as it will go (fig. 3).
After a few seconds, a little water runs out of the cappuccino frother. When the cup contains about 1 oz
of water, turn the steam knob clockwise (fig. 4) as far as it will go to stop the water running out.
4. The appliance now displays:
TURNING OFF PLEASE WAIT .. .
and it goes off.
5. Fill the container with coffee beans (fig. 5).
IMPORTANT: to prevent malfunction, never fill with ground coffee, freeze dried coffee, caramelized beans
or anything else which could damage the appliance.
6. Press the (fig. 6), The appliance displays:
HEATING UP PLEASE WAIT ...
to indicate that preheating is underway.
7. When preheating is complete, the appliance displays:
RINSING completeD PLEASE WAIT ...
and performs an automatic rinse cycle (a little hot water runs out of the spouts and is collected in the drip
tray beneath).
Tip: if you want to make a short coffee (less than 2 oz), to make it hotter, fill the cup with this hot rinsing
water first. Leave it for a few seconds then empty it to preheat the cup.
8. The appliance now displays the ready message:
READY regular TASTE
5 PREPARING COFFEE (USING COFFEE BEANS)
1. The appliance is preset to make coffee with a standard taste. You can also choose coffee with an extra-
mild mild, strong or extra-strong taste. To choose the required taste, press the (fig. 7): The selected
coffee taste will be displayed.
2. Place 1 cup under the spouts to make 1 coffee (fig. 8) or 2 cups for 2 coffees (fig. 9). For a creamier cof-
fee, lower the spouts to bring them as close to the cups as possible (fig. 10).
3. Press the button to make a short coffee (fig. 11), the button for a standard coffee and the
button for a long coffee.
To make 2 coffees, press the button twice (within 2 seconds).
To change the quantity of coffee delivered automatically into the cup, follow the instructions in chap-
ter 6.
(The appliance now grinds the beans and starts brewing the coffee into the cup.
Once the desired quantity has been reached, the appliance automatically stops delivering the coffee and
ejects the grounds into the special container).
4. After a few seconds, the ready message is displayed again and you can make another coffee.
5. To turn the appliance off, press the button.
Before going off, the appliance performs an automatic rinse cycle (a little hot water runs out from the
spouts and is collected in the drip tray beneath). Take care to avoid scalds.

11
NOTE 1: If the coffee is delivered a drop at a time or not at all, turn the grinding coarseness regulator (fig.
15) one click clockwise (see chapter 7).
Turn one click at a time until the coffee is delivered adequately.
NOTE 2: If the coffee is delivered too fast and is not creamy enough, turn the grinding coarseness regulator
(fig. 15) one click adequately (see chapter 7).
Avoid turning the grinding coarseness regulator excessively otherwise when you select 2 cups, the coffee may
run out in drips.
NOTE 3: Tips to make hotter coffee:
•When you turn the appliance on, if you want to make a short coffee (less than 2 oz), use the hot
rinse-through water to preheat the cups.
If 2/3 minutes have passed , since you last made coffee, before making coffee again you must preheat
the infuser by pressing the button (fig. 12).
Run off the water into the underlying drip tray or alternatively use this water to fill (and then empty) the
cup to be used for the coffee, so as to preheat it.
•Unless preheated, do not use cups that are too thick, as they will absorb too much heat.
•Use cups that have been preheated by rinsing them with hot water or by leaving them for at least 20
minutes on the cup warmer tray on top of the appliance with the appliance on.
NOTE 4: While the appliance is making the coffee, delivery can be stopped at any time by pressing the
,or button as previously selected.
NOTE 5: As soon as delivery is complete, to increase the quantity of coffee, simply press and hold the
, or button as previously selected, until the desired quantity is reached (this opera-
tion must be performed within 3 seconds from when coffee delivery from the spouts ceases).
NOTE 6: When the appliance displays:
FILL TANK
the water tank must be refilled or the appliance will not make coffee.
(It is normal for there to be a little water left in the tank when the message is displayed).
NOTE 7: The appliance counts the number of coffees made.
Every 14 single coffees (or 7 doubles) the appliance displays:
EMPTY GROUNDS CONTAINER
indicating that the grounds container is full and must be emptied and cleaned. Until the grounds container
has been cleaned, the appliance continues to display the message and cannot make coffee.
To clean, open the service door at the front by pulling the handle (fig. 13), remove the drip tray (fig. 14),
empty and clean.
Empty the grounds container and clean thoroughly, making sure all residues deposited on the bottom are
removed.
IMPORTANT: When removing the drip tray, the grounds container MUST be emptied, even if it is not com-
pletely full. If this is not done, when next making coffee the grounds in the container may exceed the maxi-
mum level and block the appliance.

12
NOTE 8: While the appliance is delivering coffee, never remove the water tank. If it is removed, the
appliance will not be able to make the coffee.
To reset the appliance, turn the steam knob anticlockwise as far as it will go and run off water from the cap-
puccino frother for a few seconds.
When using the appliance for the first time, 4-5 cups of coffee need to be made before the applian-
ce starts to give satisfying results.
If the appliance malfunctions, do not contact the service center right away.
The problem can almost always be resolved by following the instructions indicated in paragraphs 14 and 15.
If this is not the case, or for further explanations, contact the customer service by calling the number listed on
page 2.
If your country is not listed on the sheet, call the number indicated on the warranty.
6 CHANGING THE QUANTITY OF COFFEE IN THE CUP
The appliance is factory preset to automatically deliver the following quantities of coffee:
-short (when the button is pressed);
- standard (when the button is pressed);
- long (when the button is pressed);
To change these quantities, proceed as follows:
- press the button corresponding to the quantity you want to change ( , or ) for at least
5 seconds until the message "PROGRAM QUANTITY" is displayed;
- when the coffee in the cup reaches the required level, press the same button again to memorize the new
amount.
7 REGULATING THE COFFEE MILL
After making the first coffees, if you find that coffee delivery is either too fast or too slow (in drips), the grin-
ding coarseness regulator can be adjusted (fig. 15).
Turning it 1 click (1 number) clockwise speeds up coffee delivery (without drips).
Turning it 1 click counter-clockwise slows down delivery giving a creamier appearance to the coffee.
These adjustments will only be evident after at least 2 cups of coffee have been brewed.
The grinding coarseness regulator must only be turned when the coffee mill is on.
Turn counter-clockwise to obtain finer ground coffee, slower
delivery and a creamier appearance.
Turn clockwise for coarser ground coffee and faster delivery
(not a drop at a time).
(Coffee has been used to factory test the appliance and it is therefore completely normal for there to be tra-
ces of coffee in the mill. This appliance is however guaranteed to be new).

13
8 PREPARING ESPRESSO COFFEE USING GROUND COFFEE (INSTEAD OF BEANS)
•Press the button (fig. 16) to select the ground coffee function. This disables the coffee mill function.
The appliance displays
READY PRE-GROUND
•Lift the central lid, place one level measure of ground coffee in the
funnel (see fig. 17) and proceed as described in paragraph 5. Note:
You can make just one coffee at a time by pressing the , or
button once only.
NOTE 1: Never add the ground coffee when the appliance is off to avoid it being dispersed inside the
appliance.
NOTE 2: Never add more than one level measured scoop, otherwise either the
appliance will not make the coffee, the ground coffee will be lost inside the applian-
ce, dirtying it, or the coffee will run off in drips and the message "GROUND TOO FINE
ADJUST GRINDER AND OPEN STEAM" will be displayed.
NOTE 3: When dosing the quantity of coffee to be added, use the measuring scoop supplied only.
NOTE 4: Use ground coffee for espresso coffee makers only. Do not use coffee beans, freeze-dried coffee or
other materials that could damage the appliance.
NOTE 5: If the funnel blocks due to moisture inside the appliance or if more than one measure of pre-ground
coffee has been used, use a knife to push the coffee down (Fig. 18), then remove and clean the infuser and
appliance as described in paragraph 15.2 "Cleaning the infuser".
•Once the coffee has been delivered, to go back to making coffee using beans, deactivate the ground cof-
fee function by pressing the button again (the light goes off and the coffee mill is enabled for ope-
ration again).
9 HOT WATER DELIVERY
•Always make sure the appliance is ready.
•Turn the cappuccino frother towards the outside of the appliance and place a container under it (fig. 2).
•Press the (fig. 19). The appliance displays:
READY HOT WATER
•Turn the steam knob half a turn counter-clockwise as far as it will go (fig. 3). Hot water runs from the cap-
puccino frother and starts to fill the container underneath. You should not run hot water for more than 2
minutes at a time.
•To interrupt hot water delivery, turn the steam knob clockwise as far as it will go (fig. 4) and place the
cappuccino frother in the original position near the center of the appliance.
•To deactivate the hot water function, press the (fig. 19).

14
10 PREPARING CAPPUCCINOS (USING STEAM)
•Move the cappuccino frother outwards (fig. 2).
•Place an empty container under the cappuccino frother. Turn the steam knob a half turn counter-clockwi-
se as far as it will go (fig. 3). The appliance displays:
STEAM
Allow the steam mixed with water to run off for a few seconds until steam only is given off.
•To interrupt steam delivery, rotate the knob clockwise as far as it will go (fig. 4).
•Empty the container then fill it with about 3.5 oz (100 grams) of milk for each cappuccino to be prepa-
red. In choosing the size of the container, bear in mind that the milk doubles or triples in volume. You are
recommended to use semi-skimmed milk at refrigerator temperature.
•Dip the cappuccino frother into the pitcher containing the milk (fig. 2), taking care not to immerse the rai-
sed line on the cappuccino frother (indicated by the arrow in fig. 20). Turn the steam knob a half turn
counter-clockwise as far as it will go (beware of burns). Steam is discharged from the cappuccino frother,
giving the milk a creamy frothy appearance. To obtain a creamier froth, dip the cappuccino frother into
the milk and rotate the container with slow movements from the bottom upwards. (You should not dis-
charge steam for more than two minutes at a time).
•Once the required temperature is reached, interrupt steam delivery by rotating the knob clockwise as far
as it will go (fig. 4).
•Prepare the coffee as described previously, using large enough cups, then fill with the frothed milk pre-
pared previously. The cappuccino is ready. Sweeten to taste and, if desired, sprinkle the froth with a litt-
le cocoa powder.
IMPORTANT: always clean the cappuccino frother immediately after use. Proceed as follows:
•Discharge a little steam for a few seconds by rotating the steam knob. This empties any milk left inside
the steam spout.
IMPORTANT: To guarantee cleanliness, you are recommended to follow this procedure each time you
make cappuccino to avoid milk stagnating in the cappuccino nozzle.
•Turn the steam knob clockwise as far as it will go.
•Wait a couple of minutes for the cappuccino frother to cool down then with one hand hold the cappuc-
cino spout handle firm and with the other unscrew the cappuccino frother itself by rotating clockwise and
extracting downwards (fig. 21).
•Remove the nozzle from the steam spout by pulling it downwards (fig. 22).
•Carefully wash the cappuccino frother and steam nozzle in warm water.
•Make sure the two holes shown in fig. 23 are not blocked. If necessary, clean with a pin.
•Replace the steam nozzle by inserting it and vigorously turning it upwards into the steam spout.
•Replace the cappuccino frother by pushing it upwards and turning it counter-clockwise.
11 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
