1. Open the lid of the appliance (g. 1), then extract the tank
by pulling upwards (g. 2);
2. Fill the tank with fresh clean water, taking care not to ex-
ceed the MAX level indicated (g. 3). Put the tank back in
the appliance, pressing lightly to open the valves located
on the bottom of the tank.
3. More simply, the tank can also be lled without removing
it, pouring the water directly from a jug.
Important: never operate the appliance without water in the tank or without the
tank.
7. SETTING UP THE APPLIANCE
1. Turn the appliance on by pressing the button (B1)
(g. 4): the power light I(B4) comes on ;

16
2. Insert the required coee lter in the lter holder (C1) (g.
5);
3. Attach the lter holder to the machine without lling it
with ground coee (g. 6);
4. Place a 0.5 litre container under the boiler outlet and another 0.5
litre container under the cappuccino maker (g. 7);
5. Wait for the OK light (B5) to come on (g. 8), then immedi-
ately press the button (g. 9) and deliver about half
the tank from the lter holder;
6. Turn the steam dial anti-clockwise (g. 10) and deliver
all the water remaining in the tank from the cappuccino
maker;
7. Close the steam dial and press the button again;
8. Empty the two containers and put back under the boiler
outlet and cappuccino maker, and repeat points 5, 6 and 7.
Now the appliance is ready for use.
7.1 Auto-o
If the appliance is not used for a certain period of time (depend-
ing on the model), it switches o automatically (and the indica-
tor light goes out).
7.2 Tips for a hotter coee
To make espresso coee at the right temperature, the coee
maker should be preheated as follows:
1. Turn the appliance on by pressing the button (the I
light (B4) comes on) (g. 4) and attach the lter holder to
the appliance without adding pre-ground coee (g. 6);
2. Place a cup under the lter holder. Use the same cup as will
be used to prepare the coee in order to preheat it.
3. Wait until the OK light comes on (g. 8) and immediately
afterwards press the button (g. 9). Continue de-
livering water until the OK light goes o, then interrupt
delivery by pressing the same button again;
4. Empty the cup, wait until the OK light comes on again (B5)
and then repeat the same operation.
(It is normal for a small and harmless pu of steam to be given
o when removing the lter holder).
8. HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING PRE
GROUND COFFEE
1. Place the ground coee lter (C2) or (C3) in the lter hold-
er (C1). Use the lter to make one coee or the
lter to make two coees;
2. To make just one coee, place one level measure of pre-
ground coee (about 7 g) in the lter. (g. 11). To make
two coees, place two loosely lled measures (about 6+6 g)
of pre-ground coee in the lter. Fill the lter a little at a time
to prevent the pre-ground coee from overowing.
Important: for correct operation, before lling 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.
3. Distribute the ground coee evenly and press gently
down with the presser (g. 12). Correct pressing of the
pre-ground coee is essential to obtain a good espresso.
If pressing is excessive, coee delivery will be slow and the
froth will be dark. If pressing is too light, coee delivery
will be too rapid and the froth will be skimpy and light
coloured.
4. Remove any excess coee from the rim of the lter holder
and attach to the appliance. Turn the handle rmly to-
wards the right (g. 6) to avoid water leaking out;
5. Place the cup or cups under the lter holder spouts (g.
13). You are recommended to warm the cups before mak-
ing coee by rinsing them with a little hot water.
6. Make sure the OK light is on (g. 8) (if o, wait until it
comes on), then press the button. Once the re-
quired amount of coee has been delivered, interrupt
delivery by pressing the same button again;
7. To remove the lter holder, turn the handle from right to
left;
Danger of burns! To avoid splashes, never remove the lter holder while the appli-
ance is delivering coee.
8. To eliminate the used coee grounds, hold the lter holder
upside down and tap (g. 14).
9. To turn the appliance o, press the button.
9. HOW TO PREPARE ESPRESSO COFFEE USING
PODS
1. Preheat the appliance as described in section “7.2 TIPS
FOR A HOTTER COFFEE”, making sure the lter holder is
attached.This obtains a hotter coee.
Please note: use pods conforming to the ESE standard, indicated on the pack
by the following symbol. The ESE standard is a system accepted by leading pod pro-
ducers and enables espresso coee to be prepared simply and cleanly.
2. Place the pod coee lter (C4) ( ) in the lter holder;
3. Insert a pod, centring it as far as possible on the lter (g.
15). Always follow the instructions on the pod pack to po-
sition the pod on the lter correctly.
4. Attach the lter holder to the appliance. Always turn as far
as it will go (g. 6);
5. Proceed as in points 5, 6 and 7 in the previous section.
10. HOW TO PREPARE CAPPUCCINO
1. Prepare the espresso coees as described in the previous
sections, using suciently large cups.
2. Press the button (g. 16) and wait for the OK light
(B3)to come on (g. 17);
3. In the meantime, ll a recipient with about 100 grams of
milk for each cappuccino to be prepared.The milk must be
at refrigerator temperature (not hot!). In choosing the size
of the recipient, bear in mind that the milk doubles or tri-
ples in volume (g. 18);

17
Please note: You are recommended to use semi-skimmed milk at refrigerator
temperature.
4. Place the recipient containing the milk under the cappuc-
cino maker.
5. Wait until the OK light comes on (B3). This indicates that
the boiler has reached the ideal temperature for steam
production.
6. Open the steam by turning the steam dial for a few seconds
to eliminate any water in the circuit. Close the steam.
7. Immerse the cappuccino maker in the milk for about 5
mm and turn the steam dial anticlockwise (g. 19). The
milk now starts to increase in volume and take on a creamy
appearance;
8. When the milk has doubled in volume, immerse the cap-
puccino maker deeply and continue heating the milk.
When the required temperature is reached (60°C is ideal),
interrupt steam delivery by rotating the steam dial clock-
wise and at the same time press the button;
9. Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the 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 make coee again after the milk has been frothed, rst cool the
boiler, or the coee will be burnt. To cool, place a container under the boiler outlet,
press the button and deliver water until the OK light goes o. Press the same
button again, then proceed to make coee.
You are recommended to deliver steam for a
maximum of 60 seconds and never to froth
milk more than three times consecutively.
11. CLEANING THE CAPPUCCINO MAKER AFTER
USE
Important! For hygiene reasons, the cappuccino maker should always be cleaned
after use.
Proceed as follows:
1. Turn the steam dial to deliver a little steam for a few sec-
onds (points 2, 6 and 7 of the section "HOW TO PREPARE
CAPPUCCINO COFFEE). This causes the cappuccino maker
to discharge any milk left inside. Press the button
(B1) to turn the appliance o.
2. Wait a few minutes for the cappuccino maker to cool down.
Turn the cappuccino maker downwards to remove it
(g.
20);
3. Remove the cappuccino maker nozzle downwards
(g. 21);
4. Make sure the holes in the cappuccino maker shown in
(g.
22) are not blocked. If necessary, clean with a pin.
5. Reinsert the nozzle and replace the cappuccino maker on
the nozzle, turning it and pushing it upwards until it is
attached.
12. HOT WATER
1. Turn the appliance o by pressing the button (g. 4).
Wait for the OK light to come on ;
2. Place a recipient under the cappuccino maker.
3. When the OK light comes on, press the
button and
at the same time turn the steam dial anticlockwise
(g.
19). Water comes out of the cappuccino maker;
4. To stop hot water delivery, close the dial and press the
button again.
You should not deliver hot water for more
than 60 seconds.
