PREPARING FOR USE
Machine Packaging
The original packaging has been designed and constructed to protect the
machine during transport. We recommend keeping the packaging material
for possible future transport.
Machine Installation
1Remove the drip tray with grill from the packaging.
2Remove the machine from the packaging.
3For best use, it is recommended to:
• Choose a safe, level surface, where there will be no danger of over-
turning the machine or being injured.
• Choose a location that is suciently well-lit, clean and near an eas-
ily reachable socket.
• Allow for a minimum distance from the sides of the machine as
shown in the illustration.
4Insert the drip tray with grill into the machine. Make sure it is fully
inserted.
Note:
The drip tray collects the water that comes out of the dispensing spout
during each rinse/self-cleaning cycle, as well as any coee that might be
spilled during beverage brewing. Empty and wash the drip tray daily and
each time the full drip tray indicator is raised.
Caution:
NEVER remove the drip tray when the machine has just been turned
on. Wait a couple of minutes for the machine to carry out a rinse/self-
cleaning cycle.

11 ENGLISH 11
5Remove the water tank.
6Rinse the water tank with fresh water.
7Fill the water tank with fresh water up to the MAX level and reinsert it
into the machine. Make sure it is fully inserted.
Caution:
Never ll the water tank with warm, hot, sparkling water or any other
liquid, as this may cause damage to the water tank and the machine.
8Remove the coee bean hopper lid and slowly pour the coee beans
into the coee bean hopper.
Note:
Do not pour too many coee beans into the coee bean hopper as this will
reduce the grinding performance of the machine.
Caution:
Only coee beans must be put into the coee bean hopper. Ground
coee, instant coee, caramelized coee or any other object may
damage the machine.
9Put the lid on the coee bean hopper.
10 Insert the plug into the socket located on the back of the machine.
11 Insert the plug at the other end of the power cord into a wall socket
with suitable power voltage.

Measuring and Programming Water Hardness
Water hardness measuring is very important in order to dene the descal-
ing frequency and to install the “INTENZA+”water lter (for more detail on
the water lter, see next chapter).
To measure the water hardness follow the steps below:
1Immerse the water hardness test strip (supplied with the machine) in
water for 1 second.
Note:
The test strip can only be used for one single measurement.
2Wait for one minute.

“INTENZA+”Water Filter Installation
We recommend installing the “INTENZA+”water lter as this prevents
limescale build-ups and preserves a more intense aroma to your espresso
coee.
The INTENZA+ water lter can be purchased separately. Please refer to the
maintenance product page in this user manual for further details.
Water is a crucial part of every espresso, so it’s most important to always
have it professionally ltered. Using the“INTENZA+” water lter will prevent
mineral deposits from building up and improve your water quality.
1Remove the small white lter from the water tank and store it in a dry
place.
2Remove the “INTENZA+” water lter from its packaging, immerse it ver-
tically (with the opening positioned upwards) in cold water and gently
press the sides so as to let the air bubbles out.

18 ENGLISH
4Insert the lter into the empty water tank. Press it down until it cannot
move any further.
5Fill the water tank with fresh water and reinsert it into the machine.
6Dispense all the water of the tank by using the hot water function (see
the “Hot Water Dispensing”chapter).
7Fill the water tank again.
8Press the “ ” button and scroll the pages by pressing the “ ” but-
ton until the following screen is displayed.

10 To exit, press the “ ” button.
In this way the machine has been programmed to inform the user of the
need to replace the "INTENZA+" water lter.
3Set the lter according to the measurements performed (see previous
chapter) and indicated on the base of the lter:
A = soft water – equals 1 or 2 on the test strip
B = hard water (standard) – equals 3 on the test strip
C = very hard water – equals 4 on the test strip
