ESPRESSO COFFEE MACHINE
MODEL G105
MODEL G106
In order to obtain a good espresso coffee, it is important to use a top quality coffee, correctly roa-
sted and ground. if, when the machine is under pressure and the lever (1) is held in the upright
position, the coffee comes out drop by drop, then the grind is correct; then, your coffee machine
is exploited at its very best.
1 STARTING UP THE MACHINE
I
l Unscrew the boiler cap (3), by turning anti-clockwise,
photo *. *
l Push down the lever (1) completely, photo C.
l Pour fresh water into the boiler (o), according to the
required quantity of coffee (the boiler capacity is 8
cups of espresso coffee for the Model G105, and 16
cups for the Model G106); however, the water level
must not go above the top of the level glass (5), photo
.._
photo A
A, since space is required in the boiler for steam.
l Screw the boiler cap (3) clockwise, and check both
cap and steam tap knob (4) are shut (turn clockwise),
photo B.
l Insert the filter holder (10) into the group (1 1) and turn
the filter holder from right to left to lock it into the
group, photo H.
l Insert the plug into the mains socket, making sure that
the mains voltage is correct (see the label under the
photo B
machine base), photo C.
photo c
l When using the machine for the very first time, we
recommend you put some water with two little spoons
of sodium bicarbonate into the boiler (9). When the
machine reaches pressure, put a container under the
group (11) and slowly raise the lever (1 ), in order to
drain the boiler completely. Repeat this procedure at
least twice. Then, switch off the machine, open ,the
steam knob (4) anticlockwise, and wait until no more
steam comes out of the steam pipe (I 2); open the boi-
ler cap (13) anticlockwise and tip up the machine to
empty the boiler completely.

photo E
l Check the water level in the boiler: it must never go
below the bottom of the level glass (5).
Model G105
l Push the switch (6); the internal warning lamp will light
up (the machine is now under power), in the meantime
also the warning light (7) will light up, photo D.
l Wait until the warning light (7) turns off; slowly open
the steam knob (4) anticlockwise, in order to release
the false pressure in the boiler (due to air), then close
the knob clockwise. The warning light comes on again:
wait until it goes off. Now the machine is ready to
make coffee and deliver steam. It is normal that, from
time to time the warning light goes on and off, this
‘indicates that the pressurestat that automatically con-
trols the boiler pressure is working.
Model G 106
a Push the switch (6);
th
e internal warning lamp indica-
ting that the machine is under power will turn on,
photo D.
l When the pressure gauge (17) hand is in the green
zone, slowly open the steam knob (4) anticlockwise, in
order to release the false pressure in the boiler (due to
air), then close the knob clockwise, and wait until the
gauge pointer is back in the green zone. Now the
machine is up to pressure and is ready to make coffee
and deliver steam. The pressure is automatically con-
trolled by the pressurestat which controls the heating
element.
l When making the first coffee, after the machine is up
to pressure, raise the lever (1) a half-stroke and then
pull it down; repeat this operation two or three times to
allow the group (1 1 ), the filter holder (10) and the fil-
ter (15) to warm up. This ensures the first cup of coffee
you make is really hot, photo E.
l If the machine is left turned on without water in the boi-
ler, while working, a safety thermostat will cut off the
power to the machine. In this case, the thermostat has
to be reset.

1 COFFEE PREPARATION
photo F
photo G
photo H
photo I
l Insert the filter (15), single or double, into the filter holder
(IO), photo F.
l Fill the filter (15) with one (or two) measuring spoon(s) of
coffee, according to the required number of coffees, photo
F.
l Press the coffee with the press (13) provided, and clean the
filter brim of coffee residues, photo G.
l Install the filter holder (10) into its housing under the group
(11); with the other hand hold the lever (1) handle, in order
to keep the machine steady, and turn the filter holder from
right to left to lock it into the group, photo H.
l Raise the lever (1) upright (while holding the filter holder
handle with the other hand, in order to keep the machine
steady), and keep it in this position for some seconds until
the first drops of coffee come out. Then pull it down com-
pletely. Repeat this operation according to the desired cof-
fee quantity, photo I.
,o In order to obtain an even coffee flow, the force applied to
the lever must be proportional to the resistance encounte-
red along its stroke.
l If a weaker coffee is wanted, raise and lower the lever as
required to suit your taste.
l When you have finished making coffee, leave the lever (1)
in its lower position (rest position), to prevent water remai-
ning in the boiler flowing out of the group (1 1). Then swit-
ch off the machine.
l Warning: after making a coffee, do not remove the filter
holder immediately: wait some seconds, until there is no
more pressure between the filter and the group shower.
Such pressure may cause the rubber gasket to spring out,
or a coffee residue to spray out off the filter. Remove the fil-
ter holder (10) from the group (1 1) slowly, turning from left
to right, and under a slight pressure downwards, in order
to release any residual pressure.

1 STEAM DELIVERY
I
l First, check the water level in the boiler; carry out the pro-
. cedure to bring the machine up to pressure. Make sure that
the lever (1) is in the lower position (rest position). Keep it
there.
photo L
l Before heating any kind of hot drink, carefully allow some
steam to come out from the pi
tap knob (4) anticlockwise. T I:
e (12), by opening the steam
is removes the condensation
accumulated in the boiler and in the pipe. Then open the
knob further, to obtain the required steam delivery, photo L.
l In order to obtain a large amount of steam, the water in the
boiler must be about half way up the level glass (5).
l Close the steam tap knob (4) clockwise.
1 CAPPUCCINO PREPARATION I
l To obtain frothy milk for cappuccino, put the milk into a high, narrow iug, half-filled. Dip the
steam pipe (12) d own to the bottom, slowly open the steam tap knob (4) anticlockwise, and
warm the milk up near to boiling.
l Raise and lower the iug alternatively, with the tap open, making the pipe nozzle just touch the
milk surface, for some seconds, until a good froth is achieved. To make the cappuccino, just add
the hot frothy milk into a suitable cup containing the previously prepared coffee.
l Place the machine on a stable and dry surface.
l Alwa
r
scheck the water level in the level glass (5). If th e machine is used with insufficient water,
the e ement may be damaged by overheating (the machine is however fitted by a safety ther-
mostat).
l When switched on, in addition to heating water, the machine reduces pressurized steam insi-
de the boiler; for safety reasons, keep the machine out of chil ren’s reach.
B
l When the machine is hot, do not touch the boiler (9) nor the group (1 1).
l Do not open the boiler cap (3) when the machine is operating or under pressure.
l To remove the cap and refill the boiler, push the switch (6) off, slowly open the steam tap knob
(4) anticlockwise, and wait until all the steam has come out of the steam pipe (12). If the steam
doesn’t flow out regularly, remove the filter holder (10) and slowly raise the lever (1 ), to allow
steam and water contained in the boiler to flow through the group. In both cases, it is recom-
mended to use a container to collect the steam and water.
l After switching the machine off, and while the water in the boiler is cooling down, the lever may
move upwards by itself. This is caused by the drop in pressure in the boiler.

English
1 MAINTENANCE
I
l Before any cleaning or maintenance, remove the plug from the mains socket.
l Periodically clean the filter holder (10) and the filter (15), the shower situated into the group (1 1 ),
the drip tray (8), and the steam pipe nozzle end (12) as well.
l To remove the lime scale from the heating element and the boiler, boil a mix of water and vine-
gar irithe boiler.
l Do not dip the machine into the water, not even partially.
l Do not use detergents or abrasives to clean the machine. Use a wet cloth.
1 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
l The machine doesn’t work and the warning light inside the main switch is off:
1) there is no current;
2) the plug is not correctly connected to the mains socket.
l The warning light inside the main switch is on, but the water doesn’t warm up:
1) the thermostat has to be reset; remove the cap (18) f
rom under the base and press the red
button to reset the thermostat;
2) the heating element is disconnected or burned out.
l The machine when under pressure doesn’t deliver steam:
1) clean the steam pipe nozzle (12) holes, using a needle.
During the preparation:
l Coffee doesn’t come out:
1) no water in the boiler;
2) coffee is ground too fine;
3) too much coffee in the filter.
l Coffee flows out too quickly:
1) coffee is ground too coarse;
2) too little coffee in the filter.
l Coffee comes out drop by drop:
1) coffee is ground too fine;
2) too much coffee in the filter or a combination of both.
l Coffee comes out around the filter brim:
1) the filter holder is not correctly positioned in the group;
2) the filter brim is not clean;
3) the group rubber gasket is worn out.
l No cream on the coffee:
1) the coffee blend is not suitable for the machine;
2) grind is wrong (probably too coarse);
3) too little coffee in the filter.
