THEE.S.E. SYSTEM
TheX6espressomachine uses the EASY SERVING ESPRESSO (E.S.E.) system: for it to operate properly it is necessary to use the E.S.E.
servings, which are easily recognisable from the brand name printed on the packets, the same one that is shown on the espresso
machines. The E.S.E. system guarantees a series of benefits: the quality of the espresso coffee always remains constant,
irrespectiveof the consumer's skillinmaking it. It iseasytouse and very fast,andthe system is extremelyeasyto clean.

COFFEEPREPARATION
Foreword:the X6 machine hasbeendesigned to provide thebestcoffeeusing an Illy E.S.E.coffeepod as shown infigure7.
If a different serving is used, remove the excess paper, leaving a 5 mm border around the coffee pod; otherwise technical inconveniences may arise and
watermay leak from theextractiongroup.
Makesure that the machinereadylight (E) comes onandswitch(C) is in coffeeposition(out) (fig. 8).
Remove filter-holder (G), place the serving in the centre of the filter-holder (fig. 9), fit filter-holder in the brewhead and turn to the right until it is aligned
withthe type of coffeerequired.
In fact, the machine is fitted with the innovative extraction group >TRIO that allows a mild coffee (fig.10A), normal coffee (fig.10B) or extra-strong
coffee(fig.10C)tobepreparedinthebestpossibleway,dependingonhowthefilter-holderispositioned.
Pressin switch (B) andonceyou have the requiredamountofcoffee press out switch(B).
When the operation has been completed, remove the filter-holder and then the used serving by turning the filter-holder upside down and tapping the edge
onthe rubber used servingdump(fig. 11).
Toprepare other coffees, repeattheentire sequence.
Before switching off the machine or after each use, empty the filter-holder, put it back in the brewhead and flush it with hot water so as to remove any
residues.
Caution: Should you forget to switch the water off, the machine will automatically switch the pump off after about two minutes and an acoustic signal will
comeon every second; toresetoperation, simply press outswitch(B).
Donot used distilled ordemineralisedwater to prepare coffee.
Caution: If the machine has been on for several hours without any coffee having been prepared, you may notice a few problems in getting it restarted
(button B). Simply open the steam knob (I) for a few seconds, after having pressed the coffee button (B), and the machine will restore its normal
operation.

DESCALING
The need to remove limescale depends on the type of water used, the hours of machine operation and the number of coffees made. The following table
containsa few indicative valuesrelatingto daily use.
Limescalecontent Descaling
Fromhigh to very high everymonth
Average every2 months
Low every3 months
Donot use distilled ordemineralisedwater to prepare coffee.
CAUTION: The use of our descaling product (fig. 25) is recommended. If limescale removal is not performed, it could cause defective operation, which is not
coveredby the warranty. Vinegar,lye,salt, formic acid damagethemachine!
Descalingprocedure:
Dilute the contents of a sachet in 1 litre of water. Pour the solution in the water tank. Switch on the machine and flush the equivalent of 2 to 3 cups. Wait 15
minutes and flush 2 or 3 cups of solution at regular intervals until the water has finished. Repeat the operation until all the solution has been used up. Then
wash the tank, fill it with fresh water and flush again with clear water about ten times so that the boiler is completely free from any residues. Caution: if
descalingis not carried outregularly,it must be performedbyanauthorised assistance centre.

DESCALING
The need to remove limescale depends on the type of water used, the hours of machine operation and the number of coffees made. The following table
containsa few indicative valuesrelatingto daily use.
Limescalecontent Descaling
Fromhigh to very high everymonth
Average every2 months
Low every3 months
Donot use distilled ordemineralisedwater to prepare coffee.
CAUTION: The use of our descaling product (fig. 25) is recommended. If limescale removal is not performed, it could cause defective operation, which is not
coveredby the warranty. Vinegar,lye,salt, formic acid damagethemachine!
Descalingprocedure:
Dilute the contents of a sachet in 1 litre of water. Pour the solution in the water tank. Switch on the machine and flush the equivalent of 2 to 3 cups. Wait 15
minutes and flush 2 or 3 cups of solution at regular intervals until the water has finished. Repeat the operation until all the solution has been used up. Then
wash the tank, fill it with fresh water and flush again with clear water about ten times so that the boiler is completely free from any residues. Caution: if
descalingis not carried outregularly,it must be performedbyanauthorised assistance centre.
