INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE POWER
SUPPLY CORD
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

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 machine from the packaging.
2For 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.
3Open the water tank lid.
4Remove the water tank by using the handle.

11 ENGLISH 11
8Slowly 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. 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.
9Put the lid back 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.

13 ENGLISH 13
USING THE MACHINE FOR THE FIRST TIME
When using the machine for the rst time, the following activities need to
happen:
1) You need to prime the circuit;
2) The machine will perform an automatic rinse/ self-cleaning cycle;
3) you need to perform a manual rinse cycle.
Circuit Priming
During this process, fresh water ows through the internal circuit of the
machine and the machine warms up. This takes a few minutes.
1Place a container under the steam wand.
Yellow
2Press the “ ”button to start the cycle. The machine starts the auto-
matic priming of the circuit by dispensing some water through the
steam wand.

cess has been completed, the machine stops dispensing automatically.
Yellow
4The control panel now shows the machine warm-up icon.

14 ENGLISH
Automatic Rinse/Self-Cleaning Cycle
When warm-up has been completed, the machine automatically performs
a rinse/self-cleaning cycle of the internal circuits with fresh water. This
takes less than a minute.
5Place a container under the coee dispensing spout to catch the small
amount of water which will be dispensed.
6The machine shows this display. Wait for the cycle to nish automati-
cally.
Note:
You can stop dispensing by pressing the“ ” button.

3Select the pre-ground coee brewing function by pressing the “ ”
button. The machine shows this display.
Note:
Do not add any pre-ground coee into the compartment.
4Press the “ ” button. The machine starts dispensing water.
5When dispensing has nished, empty the container. Repeat the opera-
tions from step 1 to step 4 twice, then continue with step 6.

7Press the “ ” button to start dispensing hot water.
8Dispense water until the no water icon appears.
Note:
The manual rinse cycle can be stopped by pressing the“ ” button.
9At the end of this operation, ll the water tank again up to the MAX
level. Now the machine is ready to brew coee.
The display on the left will be shown.
Note:
The automatic rinse/self-cleaning cycle starts when the machine has been
in stand-by mode, or turned o, for more than 15 minutes.
When you have not used the machine for 2 or more weeks, you will also
need to perform a manual rinse cycle.
At the end of the cycle, you can brew a coee.

the table.
Note:
The numbers on the water hardness test strip correspond to the water
hardness adjustment settings.
More precisely:
1 = 1 (very soft water)
2 = 2 (soft water)
3 = 3 (hard water)
4 = 4 (very hard water)
The letters correspond to the references that are located at the base of the
“INTENZA+” 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.
