USER INSTRUCTIONS:
Starting of the machine:
1.
Remove the machine from its packing and make sure all packing parts have been taken off (including the
protection bags).
2. Lay the machine on a flat and steady surface far away from hot places and from the water taps.
3. Remove the water tank cover (19) on the top of the machine and take out the water tank (1) paying attention
not to damage the water tubes inside the tank.
4. Fill the tank (1) with cold water.
5. Replace the water tank back in the machine and check that the water tubes are not bent and that the filter is
well set on one of them; reposition the tank cover (19).
6. Plug in the machine in the mains. Make sure that the wall socket has the right voltage.
7. Place the filter holder (8) under the brewing group (5) and turn it from the left to the right. Leave it there so
that it can get warm and it gets ready for use.
8. Turn the machine on by pushing the on /off switch (11). The indicator light of the switch (11) comes on to
confirm the power supply.
9. Open the steam/hot water knob (4).
10. Position the lever switch (13) on hot water mode and lift the pump switch up (22).
11. Once water comes out of the steam nozzle (6), push the pump switch (22) down and close the steam/hot
water knob (4). Position the toggle switch (13) on coffee mode.
12. After completing all these operations, leave the machine on.
13. The PID (21) will visualize the degrees inside the boiler and will control the boiler’s heating.
14. The PID is already set from the producer on 95°C, i.e. the ideal temperature for a good cup of coffee. (If you
want to change the PID’s temperature, please follow the instructions written under How to set the
temperature inside the boiler by means of the PID).
Preparing an espresso:
15.
Check that the water tank (1) has been filled in with water by looking at the water level indicator (20).
16. Press the on/off switch (11): the indicator light of the switch (11) will come on. Do this operation only if the
machine is off. If it’s on pass to the following point.
17. As soon as the PID’s display (21) shows the set temperature and the indicator light (14) goes off, the machine
is ready for use. Position the lever switch (13) on coffee mode.
18. Fit the single cup filter (9) or the two cup filter (10) into the filter holder (8) that has been warmed up by
leaving it attached to the brewing group as described in point 7.
19. Fill the filter with ground coffee by means of the supplied measure spoon (16): 1+ ½ measuring spoonful (16)
= 1 coffee cup - 3 measuring spoonful (16) = 2 coffee cups. Every time you fill the filter with a spoonful of
coffee, press the coffee with the coffee press/tamper (15) before proceeding to fill it with the next spoonful
and make sure that there are no coffee rests on the filter border.
20. Insert the filter holder (8) in the brewing group ring (5), turn it from left to right with force, and then put the
cup on the removable water drainage tray (7).
21. Push the pump switch (22) up.
22. Once you get the desired quantity of coffee, push the pump switch (22) down.
23. Remove the filter holder (8) and throw away the coffee grounds. Make sure that the filter holder is clean and
reposition it in the brewing group to warm up again.
Steam:
24.
Check that the water tank (1) has been filled in with water by looking at the water level indicator (20).
25. Press the on/off switch (11): the indicator light of the switch (11) will come on. Do this operation only if the
machine is off. If it’s on pass to the following point.
26. Position the lever switch (13) on steam mode.
27. The lights (14) and (3) will go on and once the indicator light (3) goes off the machine is ready for a good and
constant steam distribution. ATTENTION: if you’ll wait to much and both lights will go off, the steam quantity
will be less constant.
28. Open the steam/hot water knob (4). First some water will flow out and then the steam.
29. Put the cup with the desired infusion under the steam tube (6) and turn the knob (4).
