POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than

the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is

intended to t into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug

does not t fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does

not t, contact a qualied electrician. Do not attempt to modify

the plug in any way.

This appliance is for 120 volts only and should not be used with

a converter

BEFORE FIRST USE

1. Check that the household voltage is the same as that

indicated on the technical information plate of the

appliance.

2. Place the appliance on a at and stable surface where it

will not be knocked over.

3. Wash the water tank and ll it with cool tap water up to the

line marked “MAX”, then place it securely into position.

Make sure that the control lever (C) is in the vertical

standby position.

4. Insert the plug into the electrical outlet.

5. Be sure that the control lever (C) and steam/water

dispensing lever (D) are in the vertical standby position, and

then switch the machine to the On position using the On/

Off switch (B). The indicator lamp (F) will turn on, indicating

that the machine is on, as well as the boiler temperature

control lamp (G), indicating that the internal boiler is starting

to heat up.

6. Let the machine warm up for approximately 5 minutes.

When warming up, your appliance may release small puffs

of steam; this is perfectly normal.

NOTE: Let one cup of water pass through the boiler when

the appliance is turned on for the rst time or after it has

not been used for a period of time. Place a container

under the espresso spout (J) and pull the control lever

(C) forward. Push the control lever back to stop the water

from dispensing. You will notice that the indicator lamp

will turn off, indicating that the boiler has reached the right

temperature for preparing the beverage.

HOW TO MAKE ESPRESSO

Using Ground Espresso

1. Attach either the single or

double espresso spout (J)

onto the ground espresso

holder.

2. Using the scoop (V) measure

the grounds to ll the ground

espresso holder (L), using

the tamper (Q) to press the

grounds down.

Note: 2 scoops (14 grams) max.

3. Insert the ground espresso holder into place by tting it

into position, then securing

it from left to right onto the main housing (see gure 2).

4. Place one or two cups underneath the espresso spout and

pull the control lever (C) forward so that it is lined up to the

espresso cup symbol. To stop dispensing, raise the control

lever back to the vertical standby position as indicated by

the dot.

NOTE: Do not remove the ground espresso holder when

the control lever is in the dispensing position. Wait about

ten seconds after the espresso has been dispensed before

removing the holder. To remove, turn it slowly from right to left to

prevent water or espresso from splattering. After the espresso is

made, gradually loosen the ground espresso holder by turning it

clockwise to decrease the pressure inside of it.

Using a Pod

To make espresso using pods, you must use the pod holder (M).

1. Attach either the single or double espresso spout (J)

onto the pod holder.

2. The pod must be centered and placed inside the lter. It is

recommended that you fold the corners inward.

3. Insert the pod holder into place by tting it tightly into

position, then securing it from left to right onto the main

housing.

NOTE: The pod may stick to the upper part of the machine after

making the espresso and when removing lter holder. To remove

it, tilt the lter holder so the pod can fall onto it. If the pod is not

inserted well, or if the lter holder is not tightened rmly, a few

drips of water could leak from the lter holder.

FILLING WATER TANK WHILE IN USE

To rell, switch the machine to the off position and unplug

from the electrical outlet, then remove the tank. NOTE: When

removing the tank, do not touch the metal pin on the steam lever

as it becomes extremely hot during use. Rell the tank with cool

tap water up to the MAX ll line and place it back into position,

making sure it is tted securely.

HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO

To prepare a cappuccino, move the control lever (C) back to

activate the steam function, indicated by the steam symbol.

The steam function indicator lamp (H) will turn on to show that

the steam is activated and the boiler temperature control lamp

(G) will turn on because the water in the boiler has started to

heat. When the boiler temperature control lamp (G) turns off,

the machine has reached the right temperature for dispensing

steam. When warming up, your appliance may release small

puffs of steam from the coupling seat; this is perfectly normal.

First, place a cup underneath the steam/water wand (E). Pull the

steam dispensing lever (D) forward. Initially, a little bit of water

will come out, immediately followed by a strong steam. (Stop

dispensing steam by pushing the steam dispensing lever back.)

Place the milk to be steamed under the wand. Plunge the steam/

water wand all the way into the milk and re-open the ow of

steam by gradually lowering the dispensing lever (D). You will see

a thick, creamy froth start to rise. Push the steam dispensing

lever back up when you have achieved the desired result.

During this process you may notice that the light (G) goes on and

off from time to time, this indicates that the boiler thermostat

is keeping the water required for the steam supply at the right

temperature.

Dispense the steam for a few seconds after every use in order to

free the hole of any milk residue. When the cappuccino is ready,

put the control lever (C) back to the vertical standby position.

Making Further Cups of Espresso

Once the cappuccino is ready, switch the steam function off by

putting the control lever back to the vertical standby position.

NOTE: Steam is still inside the boiler. Even if you have switched

off the steam function, do not lower the steam dispensing lever

(D). Hot water and steam may come out which could result in

burns.

At this point, the temperature of the water in the boiler is still

high. If you wish to dispense a cup of espresso right after

making a cappuccino, wait for the boiler temperature to go

back to the optimum temperature, which is reached after lamp

(G) turns on and then off again. To speed up the boiler cooling

process, place a glass underneath the steam/water wand (E) and

with the control lever in the vertical stand-by position, lower the

water/steam dispensing lever (D) to make hot water come out of

the dispenser.

NOTE: Do not touch hot water coming from the spout. The

lamp (G) will turn on a few seconds later to indicate the boiler

thermostat has intervened. The machine will be ready for making

espresso as soon as the lamp (G) turns off again. NOTE: Little

puffs of steam may come out while dispensing; this is normal.

HOW TO MAKE TEA

When the machine is in the ready position, with the lamp (H) off

and with the control lever in the vertical stand-by position, place

a cup underneath the steam/water wand (E) and gradually lower

the steam/water dispensing lever (D). Hot water will come out of

the spout.

USEFUL TIPS FOR CREATING AN

ITALIAN STYLE ESPRESSO

The ground espresso in the lter holder has to be pressed

lightly. Whether the espresso is stronger or weaker depends

on the degree the espresso is ground, the quantity put into the

holder and the pressing. Just a few seconds are needed for the

espresso to ow down into the cups. If the dispensing time is

longer, this means that the espresso is ground too ne or that

the espresso put into the holder has been pressed too much.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Never wash machine components in the dishwasher.

Cleaning the ﬁlter

Place a glass underneath the dispenser and dispense boiling

water from the holder with the lter inside (without espresso

grounds). Clean lter with a small brush if the holes are clogged.

NOTE: Slowly remove and disconnect the lter holder to avoid

any splash.

It is recommended to thoroughly clean the lter about every 3

months, using a simple dishwasher detergent tab (without added

rinse aid or other chemical additives) as follows:

1. Put a dishwasher detergent tab into the lter (without

espresso) when the machine is hot (after heating for at least

ve minutes).

2. Connect the pod holder to the machine and put a container

underneath the spout.

3. Pull the steam/water dispensing lever (D) forward to start

water supply, and dispense water for 15–20 seconds.

4. Stop the water supply and let the tab act for at least

15 minutes while keeping the holder coupled on the

machine.

5. Repeat the water dispensing operation by operating

the pump for about 15–20 seconds, and then letting it rest

for another 15–20 seconds, until two tanks of water are

used up.

6. Remove the lter holder from the machine and rinse it well

under running tap water.

7. Turn off the machine, disconnect the power cable from

outlet and clean the coupling seat of the holder with

a sponge to remove any detergent residue from the

shower disc.

8. Turn the machine back on, connect the holder once again

and dispense at least 2 cups of water again to complete

the rinsing.

NOTE: If machine is used daily, it is advisable to carry out the

cleaning operation at least every three months.

Cleaning the silicone disc on the creme enhancer

Wash the silicone disc under running water, bending it slightly on

the sides in order to free the center of any residue.

Cleaning the ﬁlter holder

Remove residue with a toothpick, a sponge or by letting water

run through without tting the lter holder.

Cleaning the steam/water wand

Clean the outside of the steam/water wand with a sponge or

damp non-abrasive cloth.

Cleaning the Tank

Clean the inside of the tank with a sponge or damp,

non-abrasive cloth.

Cleaning the Grill and Drip Tray

Remove grille (N) and wash it under running water. Remove

the drip tray (O) from the machine, empty it and wash it under

running water.

Cleaning the Appliance Housing

Clean the housing of the machine using a damp, non-abrasive

cloth.

Decalciﬁcation

Should your espresso maker fail to work properly as a result of

the frequent use of hard, high calcium content water, you may

perform a decalcication procedure to restore its operational

efciency. We recommend that you do this after approximately

200 coffees. To do so, you must use only citric acid–based

decalcifying products. Please follow the instructions that come

with the decalcifying agent.

OPERATING ISSUES/TROUBLESHOOTING

If there are severe problems with operation, immediately turn off

the machine and unplug it from the electrical outlet.

Problem: The espresso maker does not supply

boiling water.

Cause: Air has probably entered the circuit and

deactivated the pump.

Solution: Make sure the tank is properly inserted and that

the water is not below the minimum level.

Cause: The steam exit hole on the dispenser wand is

clogged.

Solution: Unclog any deposits that may have formed in the

hole of the dispenser wand with a pin.

Problem: The espresso maker does not supply steam.

Cause: There is too little water and the pump cannot

reach it.

Solution: Check that the water level in the tank is correct. If

necessary, ll it with cool tap water.

Cause: The exit hole on the dispenser wand is clogged.

Solution: Unclog any deposits that may have formed in the

hole of the dispenser wand with a pin.

Problem: Espresso is overﬂowing from the edges of the

ﬁlter ring.

Cause: An excess amount of ground espresso may

have been placed in the lter ring, preventing the

lter ring from being correctly tightened into its

housing.

Solution: Slowly remove and disconnect the lter holder

because any remaining pressure could cause

splashes or squirts. Clean the coupling seat

with a sponge. Repeat the operation placing the

correct quantity of espresso in the lter.

12 13

Cause: Residues of ground espresso have remained

on the gasket of the lter holder coupling

seat.

Solution: Clean the seal with a toothpick or a sponge.

Cause: The hole of the silicone disc is clogged.

Solution: Wash the silicone disc under running water,

bending it slightly on the sides in order

to free the center hole of any residue of

espresso grounds that could clog it.

Cause: The exit holes of the lter containing

espresso grounds are clogged.

Solution: Slowly remove and disconnect the lter

holder because any remaining pressure

could cause splashes or squirts. Clean

the clogged lter holes with a small brush

or a pin.

Cause: Faulty pod.

Solution: Replace the pod in the holder (M).

Problem: The espresso is not supplied or ﬂows

too slowly.

Cause: The holes of the perforated disc in the lter

holder coupling seal are clogged.

Solution: Turn on the machine without the lter holder,

making the water run. If the water still does

not come out from all the holes evenly, carry

out the decalcication cleaning operation.

Cause: The exit holes of the lter containing

espresso grounds are clogged.

Solution: Slowly remove and disconnect the lter

holder because any remaining pressure

could cause splashes or squirts. Clean

the clogged lter holes with a small brush

or a pin.

Cause: The espresso blend is ground too ne.

Solution: Try using coarser coffee blends.

Cause: The espresso blend is pressed down

too much.

Solution: Tamp espresso inside the lter using

less pressure.

Cause: The tank is not inserted well.

Solution: Fit the tank securely by pushing it as far

as it will go.

Cause: The hole of the silicone disc is clogged.

Solution: Wash the silicone disc under running water,

bending it slightly on the sides in order

to free the center hole of any residue of

espresso grounds that could clog it.

Cause: There is too little water and the pump cannot

reach it.

Solution: Check that the water level in the tank

is correct. If necessary, ll it with cool

tap water.

Cause: Broken pod.

Solution: Remove the pod lter holder (M), clean the

seat with a sponge, and put a new pod

inside.

Problem: The espresso is too watery and cold.

Cause: The blend has been ground too coarsely.

Solution: A more nely ground blend must be used

to obtain a more concentrated and hotter

espresso.

Any other servicing should be performed by an Authorized

Service Representative.
