Conditions de garantie de bon fonctionnement
1T-machine is under warranty for one year from the date of purchase, according to the fiscal
document the retailer must provide indicating name of the reseller and date of the sale.
2This warranty consists in replacement or repair free of charge of all the spareparts which are
faulty, due to default in the manufacturing process.
This warranty does not cover or accept liability for damage to the machine or its parts due to
the negligence of its operator(s), such as lack of the following the instructions for its use, the
environment in which it is placed, lack of carrying out the maintenance as this manual describes,
unauthorised persons carrying out maintenance and repairs on the machine, damage that results
from transport, or otherwise due to circumstances that cannot be associated with the
manufacturers manufacturing process. The aesthetic or generally removable parts are not covered
by this warranty except it can be proven that there was a defect in its manufacturing. Also
excluded are interventions concerning installing and connections to the power supply.
4Excluded from this warranty are damages that come as a result of any improper use of the
machine. Non-domestic use of the machine (installing it in a bar, restaurant, community area
etc.) immediately voids this warranty.
5The manufacturer declines all responsibility for eventual damages to the machine which could

- the machine must be installed on a firm, flat surface that can withstand the weight of the
equipment and will not cause the machine to tip up or fall;
- a sufficient space must be left at the back of the machine (about 10 cm.) to allow air to circulate
and to permit the heat to disperse from the slots pro ided for this purpose;
- do not allow children to use the machine and / or anyone who does not know how to operate it.

INSTALLATION AND USE
11
SAFETY STANDARD

Lower the brewing chamber closing lever (Fig. 19) and the light inside the green start/stop
dispensing button comes on.
Depress the green button to start dispensing the drin . Once the required amount of liquid has
been dispensed, press the button again to stop dispensing (Fig. 20).
Lift the brewing chamber lever to prepare the machine for insertion of the next capsule.
Attention
NEVER lift the brewing chamber closing lever when a drin is being dispensed, as this will stop the
dispensing, nor leave the green start/stop dispensing button depressed with the lever in up
position.
Attention
Never open the brewing compartment door (Fig. 21) during dispensing. Never force it open.
USEFUL ADVICE
1) To obtain a good drin , it is advisable to always leave the machine switched ON.
2) Carry out a dispensing cycle with warm water before the first use or when you change the type
of drin , ta ing care in this case to first remove the used capsule present in the machine with
a proper tool ( never your fingers).
3) If several drin s are dispensed one after the other, chec that the orange water heating
button does not light. If it does, wait until it goes out to enable the boiler to sufficiently heat
up the water.
4) Heat the porcelain cups into which the drin will be dispensed. The froth on the drin s is not as
good when dispensed into cold porcelain.
5) It is advisable to use higher quality water (purified mineral water) to prevent scale incrustations
in the machines heating element.
6) Lift the lever before removing the cup/glass after dispensing so that the remaining liquid in
mixing compartment can descend into the cup/glass.

NOISE LEVELS
This sound test, referring to a Sample Model with the same design and construction characteristics
as your machine, was carried out in compliance with the Decree Law 277/91 (in accordance with
CEE Directives n. 80/1107  82/605  83/447  86/188 and 88/642) calculating personal exposure,
starting with the acoustic pressure and adding the time of exposure.
The phonometer used complies with the prescriptions of standard IEC 651 Group 1 and was calibrated
before use according to a sample source of sound.
The reading was ta en from the users position, the continuous level of acoustic pressure was less
than 70 dB(A) and the continuous level of acoustic power emitted by the machine at the users
position was less than 85 dB(A).
SAFETY STANDARD

EXPECTED USE
This ma hine (Fig. 4) is designated for household (non-professional) use only.
This ma hine is designated to dispense hot drinks in onjun tion with apsules and designed for
use only with Tuttoespresso apsules.
For proper operation, the ma hine has been designed to operate in losed environment at room
temperature, above 5°C and under normal environmental onditions.
NOTE: for the best results, allow one minute between dispensing drinks proportioned to the expe ted
domesti use (e.g. 10-20 dispenses per day).
Attention
As some apsule ingredients are parti ularly sus eptible to ex essive heat and humidity, the ma hine
may not work properly at temperatures above 30°C or at level of relative humidity above 80%.
Attention
The drinks dispensed by the ma hine are onsidered to be at a high temperature and therefore
ould be dangerous if used improperly.
PRODUCT
The apsules must be stored in a ool, dry pla e in order not to alter their ingredients; levels of
relative humidity over 80% may ause the powder ingredients to lump.
If this ondition is not omplied with, Tuttoespresso annot guarantee the orre t operation of the
ma hine nor the quality of the drinks dispensed.
