IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
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 be used
if care is exercised in their use.
c) If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cords 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 over.

tively eliminates the greasiness of coffee in
inaccessible parts and avoids alterations in
the taste of coffee.
Depending on the way the appliance is
used, it is advisable to rinse it every month or
after max. 250 cups of coffee. The rinsing
cycle lasts about 5 minutes, and it is divided
into 4 cycles, including the rinsing with cold
water. Each cycle is followed by a short
pause of about 40 seconds.
Never stop the rinsing cycle.

Grind
If the coffee flows too quickly (coarse grind) or
too slowly (fine grind) into the cup, adjust the
coffee grinder:
Recommended grind level: position 5
Grind too coarse = adjust to a lower value (for
instance from 5 to 3)
Grind too fine = adjust to a higher value (for
instance from 5 to 7).
Adjust the grind level only when the c o f fe e
grinder is running.
Avoid extreme adjustment (for instance, on position
1) whenever possible. It is preferable to try another
coffee blend, because not all coffee blends are
suitable.
Coffee
Make sure coffee is fresh. An espresso roast is
preferable.
In order to obtain a strong and aromatic espresso
coffee, use special blends suitable for espresso
coffeemachinesandspecialcupswiththicksides.
Keep coffee in a cool place, in an hermetically
sealed container.
Water quality

thewaterquality is oftheutmostimportancefor the
brewing of a good coffee. Thus, the use of a
decalcifier to remove limescale and eliminate any
unpleasant taste and organic impurities from
water, is strongly recommended. Furthermore a
water decalcifier partially eliminates limescale
from water, thus protecting the machine heating
system from chemical buildup and prolonging its

working life.
The water tank must be emptied daily and filled
with fresh water.
Operation time
The machine may be kept on all day long.
However, it is advisable to activate the energy
saving mode after the last use. Press the Energy
saving switch. If the timer has been programmed,

Should the machine not be used for a prolonged
period (e.g. during the night) it is advisable to
switch the main switch (4) off.

This machine grinds a portion of fresh coffee for
each cup; fortwo cups, it grinds two portions of
coffee, one afterthe other thusensuring optimum
coffee quality.
Before any use, make sure the steam/hot water
knob is closed.
Adjust the desired grinding degree: the
recommended average value is 5.

Descaling
Descaling is necessaryto remove limescale from
all surfaces and holes, thus ensuring a perfect
operation of valves, heating controls and other
important parts.
Note: due to the complexity of the coffee

The water hardness value may be changed, if

page 37.
The following adjustments are possible:

(4°-7° dH), approx. 300 l water passage
Hardness1: less than 10°fH (3° dH), approx.
500 l water passage
In case of hard water, a filter should be used
both to improve the coffee quality and to protect
the machine, thus reducing the descaling
frequency.
Note: for this purpose, use a descaling product
suitable for coffee machines.
Never use
vinegar to clean the machine; it might
damage it.
There are two ways tocarryout the descaling of
the machine:

productflowoutof thedispensingtubeforapprox.
1 min.
Turn off the machine with the main switch and let
the solution take effect for approx. 5 minutes.
Repeat this procedure two or three times, toallow
all the descaling product in the water tank to flow
out of the dispensing tube. As soon as
decalcification has been carried out, rinse the
water tank (11) thoroughly and fill it with water.
Switch on the machine again and let water
(approx. 2 l) flow out of the steam/hot water
dispensing tube in order to rinse away residue.
The coffee machine is now ready for operation.
Important
