To use the lter correctly, follow the instructions below.
10.1 Installing the lter
1. Take the lter (C4) out of its packet and rinse under about
0.5 litre of running water (g. 8).
8
0,5 L
9
2. Turn the date indicator disk until the next two months of
use are displayed (g 9).
Please note:
The lter lasts about two months if the appliance is used nor-
mally. If the coee machine is left unused with the lter in-
stalled, it will last a maximum of three weeks.
3. Extract the tank (A9) from the appliance and ll with water
(g. 1A).
4. Insert the lter in the water tank and immerse it complete-
ly, sloping it to enable the air bubbles to escape (g. 10).

under the cappuccino maker (A18).
8. Turn the steam dial (A19) to the Iposition to deliver hot
water.
9. Deliver at least 500 ml of hot water, then turn the hot
water/steam dial back to the 0position.
Please note:
Occasionally one delivery of hot water is not enough to install
the lter and the lights will come on
during installation.
If this happens repeat the installation procedure from point 8.
The lter is now active and you can use the coee machine.
10.2 Removal and replacement of the water
softener lter
After two months (see date indicator disk), or if the appliance
has not been used for 3 weeks, the lter (C4) must be removed
from the tank (A9) and replaced with a new one. Then the in-
stallation procedure above must be repeated.
11. MAKING COFFEE
11.1 Selecting the coee taste
Turn the coee taste selection dial (B9) to set the required taste.
Turning it clockwise increases the quantity of coee beans the

11
appliance will grind and therefore the strength of the coee
obtained.
Turn the dial to MIN for an extra mild coee and to MAX for an
extra strong coee.
Please note:
• The rst time you use the appliance, you will need to make
a number of coees to identify the correct dial position
through trial and error.
• Do not turn the dial too far towards MAX, otherwise the
coee may be delivered too slowly (a drop at a time), par-
ticularly when making two cups of coee at the same time.
11.2 Selecting the quantity of coee in the cup
The appliance is set by default to automatically make the fol-
lowing quantities of coee:
- short coee when the button (B3) is pressed
(≃40ml);
- long coee when the button (B8) is pressed
(≃120ml);
- two short coees when the button (B4) is pressed;
- two long coees when the button (B9) is pressed.
To change the quantity of coee the appliance delivers auto-
matically into the cup, proceed as described below:
- press the button corresponding to the quantity to be mod-
ied and hold it down until the light ashes and the appli-
ance starts delivering coee, then release;
- when the coee in the cup reaches the desired level, press
the same button again to memorise the new amount.
The machine is now reprogrammed with the new quantities.
11.3 Adjusting the coee mill
The coee mill is set by default to prepare coee correctly and
should not require regulating initially.
However, if after making the rst few coees you nd that the
coee is either too weak and not creamy enough or delivery is
too slow (a drop at a time), this can be corrected by adjusting
the grinding adjustment dial (A2) (g. 13).
13
Please note:
The grinding adjustment dial (A2) must only be turned when
the coee mill is in operation.
If the coee is delivered too slowly or
not at all, turn one click clockwise.
For fuller bodied creamier coee, turn
one click anticlockwise (do not turn
more than one click at a time other-
wise the coee could be delivered a
drop at a time).
These adjustments will only be evident after at least 2 cups of
coee have been delivered. If this adjustment does not obtain
the desired result, turn the dial another click.
11.4 Setting the temperature
To modify the temperature of the water used to make the coee,
proceed as follows:
1. With the appliance o and the main switch in the Iposition
(g. 3), press the button (B3) and hold it down until
the lights on the control panel come on;
2. Press the button to select the required temperature:
LOW HIGH
3. Press the button (B8) to conrm the selection. The
lights go o.
11.5 Tips for a hotter coee
For hotter coee, you should:
• before delivering the coee, perform a rinse cycle by press-
ing the button (B5). Hot water is delivered from
the spouts, heating the internal circuits of the appliance
and thus raising the coee temperature;
• warm the cups with hot water (using the hot water
function).

12
• set a hotter coee temperature (see the section “Setting
the temperature”).
11.6 Making coee using coee beans
Important!
Do not use caramelised or candied coee beans as they could
stick to the coee mill and damage it.
1. Fill the container (A7, g. 14) with coee beans.
14 15
2. Place under the coee spouts (A12):
- 1 cup, if you want to make 1 coee (g. 15);
- 2 cups, if you want 2 coees (g. 16).
16 17
3. Lower the spouts as near as possible to the cup.This makes
a creamier coee (g. 17).
4. Press the button corresponding to the required coee:
5. Preparation begins and the light corresponding to the se-
lected button ashes on the control panel.
Once the coee has been made, the appliance is ready to make
the next drink.
Please note:
• While the machine is making coee, delivery can be in-
terrupted at any moment by pressing one of the coee
buttons.
• At the end of delivery, to increase the quantity of coee
in the cup, just press one of the coee icons (within 3
seconds).
Please note:
For hotter coee, see the section“11.5. Tips for a hotter coee”.
Important!
• If the coee is delivered a drop at a time, too weak and not
creamy enough or too cold, read the tips in the section“20.
Troubleshooting”.
• Lights may be displayed on the control panel during use.
Their meaning is given in the section “19. Explanation of
the lights.
11.7 Making coee using pre-ground coee
Important!
• Never place coee beans in the pre-ground coee funnel
as this could damage the appliance.
• Never add pre-ground coee when the machine is o or it
could spread through the inside of the machine and dirty
it.This could damage the appliance.
• Never use more than 1 level
measure or it could dirty the
inside of the coee machine or
block the funnel.
Please note:
When you use pre-ground coee, you can only make one cup of
coee at a time.
1. Make sure the appliance is on.
2. Turn the coee taste selection dial (B6) anticlockwise as far
as it will go to the position (g. 18).
18 19
3. Make sure the funnel is not blocked, then add one level
measure (C2) of pre-ground coee (g. 19).
4. Place a cup under the coee spouts (A12).
5. Press the corresponding 1 cup coee button ( B3 or
B8).
6. Preparation begins.
1 short coee 1 long coee

12. MAKING CAPPUCCINO
Danger of burns!
During preparation steam is given o. Take care to avoid scalds.
1. When preparing cappuccino, make the coee in a large
cup;
2. Fill a container (preferably one with a handle to avoid
scalding) with about 100 ml of milk for each cappuccino.
In choosing the size of the container, bear in mind that the
milk doubles or triples in volume;
Please note:
For a richer denser froth, use skimmed or partially skimmed
milk at refrigerator temperature (about 5°C). To avoid milk
with poor froth or large bubbles, always clean the cappuc-
cino maker (A18) as described in the section “Cleaning the
cappuccino maker after use”.
3. Press the button (B7). The light ashes.
4. Immerse the cappuccino maker in the milk container (g.
20).
20
5. After a few seconds, when the light ashes, turn the
steam dial (A19) to the Iposition (g. 5). Steam is deliv-
ered from the cappuccino maker, giving the milk a creamy
frothy appearance and making it more voluminous;
6. For a creamier froth, rotate the container with slow move-
ments in an upward direction. (You should not deliver
steam for more than 3 minutes at a time);
7. When you have obtained the required froth, stop steam
