1. Place the ground coee
lter (C2) or (C3) in the
portalter (C1).
2. Fill the coee lter with
ground coee. Make
sure that you are using
a ne grind, specic for
espresso.
3. Distribute the pre-
ground coee evenly and
press with the tamper
(C5).Make sure the coee
is at the recommended
dose level after tamping.
You may need to add
some coee.
4. Remove any excess coee
from the rim of the porta-
lter and attach the por-
talter to the machine.

5. Place the cup or cups
under the portalter
spouts.
6. Make sure the lights
corresponding to the
coee buttons are on,
then press the or
coee button.
7. The machine proceeds
to make the coee and
delivery is interrupted
automatically.
8. To remove the portal-
ter, turn the handle from
right to left.
Please note:
• Before lling the coee lter with pre-ground coee,
make sure there are no coee residues left in the lter
from the last time you made coee.
• While the machine is making coee, delivery can be in-
terrupted at any moment by pressing the coee button
pressed previously.
• At the end of delivery (within 3 seconds), to increase the
amount of coee in the cup, press and hold the coee
button pressed previously. Delivery is automatically in-
terrupted after a few seconds.
• To avoid splashes, never remove the portalter while the
machine is delivering coee. Always wait for a few sec-
onds after delivery.
3.1 Tamping the coee:
Correct pressing of the pre-ground coee is essential to obtain
a good espresso.
• If you press too rmly, the coee will be delivered slowly
and will be strong.
• If you press too lightly, the coee will be delivered quickly
and will be weak.
3.2 Tips for a hotter coee
• You are recommended to warm the cups before making
coee by rinsing them with a little hot water.
• Attach the portalter (C1) to the machine with the lter
(C2) or (C3)in place but without adding coee. Using the
same cup as will later be used to make the coee, press
the 1 cup button and deliver hot water into the cup to
heat it.
• Raise the infusion temperature in the settings menu (see
section“9. Menù settings”).
• Rest the cups you will be using on the cup warmer (A4)
which becomes hot during operation.

4. HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING PODS
1. Place the lter for cof-
fee pods (C4) in the
portalter.
2. Insert the pod, centring
it as far as possible on the
lter. Always follow the
instructions on the pod
pack to position the pod
on the lter correctly.
3. Attach the portalter to
the machine.
4. Place the cup under the
portalter spouts.

7. To remove the portalter,
turn the handle from right
to left.
4.1 Choose the pods
Use pods conforming to the ESE standard,
indicated on the pack by the corresponding
symbol.
The ESE standard is a system accepted by
leading pod producers and enables espresso
coee to be prepared simply and cleanly.
Please note:
• When using pods, you can brew 1 cup of coee
only.
• While the machine is making coee, delivery can be in-
terrupted at any moment by pressing the coee button
pressed previously.
• At the end of delivery (within 3 seconds), to increase the
amount of coee in the cup, press and hold the coee
button pressed previously. Delivery is automatically in-
terrupted after a few seconds.
• To avoid splashes, never remove the portalter while the
machine is delivering coee. Always wait for a few sec-
onds after delivery.
• See section “3.2Tips for a hotter coee”.

5. PROGRAMMING THE QUANTITIES OF COFFEE IN THE CUP
The machine is set by default to automatically deliver standard quantities.To change these quantities, proceed as follows:
1. Place one or two cups
und er the portalter
spouts.
2. Press and hold the
button you want to
programme ( or
).
3. The coee maker starts
delivering coee and
the other coee button
ashes to indicate that
the machine is in pro-
gramming mode.
4. Once the required quantity
of coee has been deliv-
ered into the cup, release
the button. Delivery stops
and the light ashes to
indicate that the quantity
has been saved correctly.
Default

Programmable quantity
35 ml from ≃15 to ≃90 ml
70 ml from ≃30 to ≃180 ml
6. MAKING CAPPUCCINO
1. To use tall glasses, re-
move the drip tray (A9)
and stand the glasses on
the glasses tray (A10)
2. Prepare the espresso cof-
fees as described in the
previous sections, using
suciently large cups.
3. Fill a milk pitcher with
fresh cold milk. Milk will
up to triple in volume.
4. Press the button.
The light ashes. When
the light comes steady, the
appliance is ready to deliv-
er steam.
Tips for best results:
• Recommended milk quantity for cappuccino: 100 ml.
• For a denser more even froth, you must use milk at refrigerator temperature (about
5°C).
• When steam is ready, before frothing milk, position an empty container under the
frother and open the dial for a few seconds to eliminate any air left in the circuit.
Close the dial again and proceed.

MAKING CAPPUCCINO
5. Place the recipient con-
taining the milk under
the steam wand (A11):
immerse the frother
and turn the dial to the
position.
6. To make the froth, put
the nozzle on the surface
of the milk and air will
catch by the mixing of
milk and steam.
7. Keep the steam nozzle just
on the surface, careful not
to make big bubbles by
letting too much air in.
8. Insert the steam nozzle
just under the milk: this
create a vortex.
9. Once the desired temperature is reached, turn the steam
knob o and wait till steam stops completely before re-
moving the milk pitcher
10. Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the espresso
coee prepared previously. The cappuccino is ready.
Sweeten to taste and if desired, sprinkle the froth with a
little cocoa powder.
Please note:
• To prepare more than one cappuccino, rst make all the
coees then at the end prepare the frothed milk for all
the cappuccinos.
• To exit the steam function, press any button. The
and lights ash to indicate that the Cooling Cycle
is required.
• You should not deliver steam for more
than 60 seconds.
Cleaning the steam wand
1. After every use, remove with
a soft damp cloth any milk
residues from the steam
wand. For perfect cleaning,
we recommend Eco Multi-
Clean: it ensures hygiene by
removing milk proteins and
fats and can be used to clean
the whole machine.
2. Use the steam for a deeper
cleaning.
3. Wait that the steam wand
cool down and open the hole
of the nozzle with the clean-
ing needle (C7).
6.1 Cooling Cycle
After having used the steam wand and exited the steam func-
tion, the two lights and on the front of the ma-
chine will ash simultaneously indicating that the boiler needs
to be cooled o in order to reach the precise espresso brewing
temperature. Simply proceed as follows:

8. MEASURING WATER HARDNESS
The descaling alarm is displayed after a period of time established according to water hardness.The machine can also be programmed
according to the hardness of the water supply in the various regions, so that descaling is required less often.

See instructions in section“9. Menù settings”to set the machine.
1. Remove the indicator paper from its packaging.
2. Immerse the paper completely in a glass of water for about
one second.
3. Remove the strip from the water and shake lightly. After
about a minute, 1, 2, 3, or 4 red squares appear, depending
on the hardness of the water. Each square corresponds to
one level.
