“INTENZA+”Water Filter Installation
Remove the small white lter from the water tank and store it in a dry place.
Immerse the "INTENZA+" water lter vertically in cold water (with the open-
ing positioned upwards) and gently press its sides to let the air bubbles out.
"INTENZA+" Water Filter
We recommend that you install the “INTENZA+” water lter as this prevents
limescale build-up in your machine and preserves a more intense aroma of
your coee.
The “INTENZA+” water lter can be purchased separately.
Water is a crucial part of every coee, so it is very important to always have it
professionally ltered. Using the “INTENZA+” water lter will prevent mineral
deposits from building up and improve your water quality.
Set the “INTENZA+” water lter according to the measurements performed
(see “Measuring the water hardness”) and indicated on the base of the lter:
A = soft water – equals 1 or 2 small squares
B = hard water (standard) – equals 3 small squares
C = very hard water – equals 4 small squares
Insert the “INTENZA +” water lter in the empty water tank and push it down
to the lowest point.
Fill the water tank with running water and put it back into the machine.
Dispense all the water in the water tank by using the hot water function (see
the “Dispensing Hot Water” chapter).
Then, ll the tank again.
1 Press the MENU and the OK buttons to conrm. Scroll until selecting the
water lter. Press the OK button.
2 Select ON, then press OK and nally exit from the menu.

14
English
Replacing the “INTENZA+”Water Filter
When the “INTENZA+” water lter needs to be replaced, the lter icon is
displayed.
Replace the water lter by scrolling the menu until selecting the water lter
as described in the “INTENZA+ Filter Installation” chapter.
Select RESET and conrm with the OK button.
The machine is now programmed to manage a new“INTENZA+” water lter.

machine.
4 Push the carafe downwards while rotating it at the same time until it is
locked onto the drip tray.
Do not force the carafe while inserting it.
Dispensing Milk-based Beverages
1 Pull out the milk dispensing spout to the right up to the icon.
Note: if the carafe dispensing spout has not been pulled all the way out, milk
may not be properly frothed.
2 Place a cup under the open milk dispensing spout.

drip tray. Then, remove the carafe.

18
English
3 The machine pours in the cup or in the tumbler a preset amount of milk
froth rst and then a preset amount of coee.
Note: press the OK button to interrupt milk or coee dispensing.
4 After the preparation of coee and milk-based beverages, the display re-
quests you whether you wish to perform a quick clean of the milk carafe.
This operation can be enabled within 10 seconds (see“Quick Clean of the
Carafe”). This operation can be performed with the carafe containing milk.
It is recommended to perform the quick clean at least once a day. Press
the OK button to conrm or the ESC button to perform the quick clean
later.

The machine enters the programming stage and starts preparing the select-
ed beverage.
2 When the cup contains the desired amount of espresso, press the OK
button.
The tick on the display indicates that at every pressing the machine will pre-
pare the set amount of espresso.
Note: to set the amount of ESPRESSO LUNGO, CAPPUCCINO and LATTE

Adjusting Grinding Settings
You can adjust the grinding settings using the grinder adjustment key. For
every selected setting, the ceramic coee grinder guarantees a perfect and
even grinding for the preparation of every cup of coee. The aroma is pre-
served and every cup ensures a perfect avour.
Note: you can adjust the grinding settings only when the machine grinds the
coee beans.
Warning: do not turn the coee grinder more than one notch at a time to
prevent damage.
1 Place a cup under the coee dispensing spout.
2 Open the coee bean hopper lid.
3 Press the ESPRESSO button.
4 When the coee grinder starts working, press and turn the grinder ad-
justment knob placed inside the coee bean hopper one notch at a time.
Use the grinder adjustment key. The reference marks in the coee bean
hopper compartment indicate the grinding setting. There are 5 dierent
grinding settings to choose from, from position (A) for coarse grind -
lighter taste to position (B) for ne grind - stronger taste.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance keep the machine in perfect conditions
and ensure a perfect coee avour, a constant coee ow and an excellent
milk froth. Refer to the following table to know when and how to clean the
