A. A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) is to be
provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping
over a longer cord.
B. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available
and may used if care is exercised in their use.
C. If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,
1. The marked electrical rating of the detachable power-supply cord or
extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the
appliance
2. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord, and
3. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the
counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped

• Always put the machine on a at and stable surface.
• Do not place the machine on hot surfaces, directly next to
a hot oven, heater units or similar sources of heat.
• Only put roasted coee beans into the coee bean hopper.
If ground coee, instant coee, raw coee or any other
substance is put in the coee bean hopper, it may damage
the machine.
• Let the machine cool down before inserting or removing
any parts.The heating surfaces may retain residual heat
after use.
• Never use warm or hot water to ll the water tank. Use
only cold non-sparkling drinking water.

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 gure.
4Insert the (external) drip tray with grill into the machine. Make sure it is
correctly placed.
Note:
The drip tray collects the water that comes out of the dispensing spout
during each rinse/self-cleaning cycle, as well as coee that might be spilled
during beverage preparation. 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
5Lift the lid and remove the water tank using the handle.
6Rinse the water tank with fresh water.
7Fill the water tank with fresh water up to the MAX level and put it back
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.
8Lift the coee bean hopper lid and remove the inner lid.
9Slowly pour the coee beans into the hopper. Ret the inner lid and
close the outer one.
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. If ground
coee, instant coee, caramelized coee, raw coee beans or any
other substance is put in the coee bean hopper, it may damage the
machine.

AQUACLEAN WATER FILTER
The AquaClean lter is designed to reduce limescale build-up inside the
machine and to provide ltered water in order to preserve the coee
aroma and avour in each cup. By using the series of 8 AquaClean lters as
indicated in this user manual, you will not need to descale the machine for
2 years or for the next 5000 cups (with 100-ml capacity).
Note:
Replace the AquaClean lter when the lter icon on the display starts
ashing. Replace the AquaClean lter at least each 3 months, even if the
machine is yet to inform you that it needs to be replaced.
After the machine has been used for a given time, it will require the lter to
be replaced. This will allow you to replace the lter 8 times (equal to about
5000* beverages!) before having to descale the machine.
(*) Using 100-ml cups.
Preparing and Installing the AquaClean Filter
1Remove the AquaClean lter from its packaging. Shake it for about 5
seconds. Immerse the AquaClean lter upside down in a carafe full of
cold water and wait for the air bubbles to come out.
2Put the AquaClean lter into the empty water tank. You can leave the
small water lter in place.
Press the AquaClean lter down until it cannot move any further.
