Draining and priming of the water circuit
Before using for the first time it is imperative that you allow the water to circulate through all of the
appliance’s circuits to remove any possible air and for the pump to be activated.
1. ESPRESSO SIDE
With the water tank full:
nConnect the power cord.
nCheck that the rotating control button is set to PENDING (●)and that the TEMPERATURE
SELECTION button (h5) is at ESPRESSO/HOT WATER .
nCheck the FILTER COFFEE light (h1) is off and the FILTER COFFEE (h2) button is set on (●)
setting.
nSwitch the machine on by turning the START/STOP (h7) button to the right to the (I) setting.
nThe TEMPERATURE light (h6) flashes slowly to indicate that the Thermo block is heating up.
(Approximately 1 minute).
IMPORTANT
While the TEMPERATURE light (h6) flashes, none of the ESPRESSO functions can be used.
nPlace a large container under the HOT WATER/STEAM spout.
nWhen the TEMPERATURE light (h6) stops flashing, turn the rotating control button to the HOT WATER
function (Fig.3).
nThe pump starts working at a steady rate and the hot water flows through the spout. Let it flow for
approximately 10 seconds.
nStop the flow of water by simply returning the control button to PENDING (●) (Fig.4).
nIf there is no water flow, see the section “Safety and visual warnings”.
nPlace a sufficiently large enough container under the dispensing unit without using the filter holder.
nWhen the TEMPERATURE light (h6) stops flashing, briefly turn the Pre-programmed 2 cup espresso
button to the right and let the water flow (the machine’s pump stops automatically when the
pre-programmed amount has been dispensed). If this does not work, see the paragraph “Safety and
visual warnings” p.25 and perform this action again.
IMPORTANT
It is possible that some steam may be released from the water tank. This is completely normal.
The water circuit has now been drained and your machine is ready for use.
2. COFFEE FUNCTION
nCheck that the power cord is connected.
nOpen the lid by pressing on both sides and open the lid to 90° without forcing (Fig.5 and 6).
nFill the tank without exceeding the MAX marking at the overflow opening (Fig.7 and 8).
nEnsure that the filter holder is correctly positioned (i.e. fully inserted into its opening).
nPlace a paper filter in the filter holder and fill it with ground coffee using the measuring spoon, with one
spoon per cup of coffee.
nClose the lid until you hear the click indicating that it is firmly locked (Fig.11).
nPosition the coffee pot on the warming plate.
nCheck that the rotating control button is set to PENDING (●) (fig.4) and the START/STOP (h7) button
is set to (●).
nPush the FILTER COFFEE button to the right; the COFFEE FILTER light (h1) comes on and the
coffee is dispensed after a few seconds.
nAfter all the water has been dispensed, turn off the appliance and let it cool.
